    The website has no open data license so this isn't usable for OSM, even if we wanted to. I just meant to propose collaborating on an existing platform where we already have a lot o…

    More than 200 hotels already on this website. Wouldn't this be much more useful as an OpenStreetMap tag so people can find and share these good/bad hotels in whatever front-end the…

    Or if you need records other than A/AAAA, like MX for delivering email: https://anyz.one e.g. 10.2.3.4.anyz.one will refer the recursive resolver to query 10.2.3.4 for the answer t…

    Was wondering what you meant so I looked up "the innerhtml problem" and the top result indeed does list quite a few issues with appending to innerHTML that can be easily avoided. F…

    I knew changing innerHTML had some side effects, but this answer shows just how many corner cases it causes and offers a drop-in replacement at least for appending. Thought other d…

    Taken to an extreme without formatting, sure, but what ranges have that many digits in human-readable situations? And if there are those exception situations, you can word around i…

    I really like alternativeto. It's not always good: sometimes there are simply no good alternatives, or the community hasn't voted for the ones I'd have voted for and so a good opti…

    I don't understand. Opening the page in a logged-out state, it looks the same to me (just that there are not buttons to pick whether you want to raise/lower/block a domain when you…

    If only it was merely useless. I know its reputation but it had some information that MDN did not have, so I used it this once in recent years. Turned out, the information was simp…

    Is this meaning to grep for a double hyphen from standard in, or to mark the start of positional arguments and then grep for a hyphen? If you want both, it should be: $ python -m t…

    It is usually clear that 2-3 thingies means a range of thingies, but I seem to remember there being situations where it could also have been a minus sign. Perhaps it was with place…

    Literally never seen this (wish I could grep all comments I've ever replied to) and I do not understand what makes you say that it's clearer when it's dropping information, making …

    I compared Shazam's, SoundHound's, and BeatFind's recognition library in August 2021. (And tried MusixMatch but it crashed on startup apparently.) Don't think I published it anywhe…

    I gave it some thought but it's hard to say. For most of the ones I missed and mentioned in sibling threads, I can think of people who'd be aware of them: - Probably and related ta…
