I don't get how people can listen to and share AI generated "music" and not feel legitimately embarrassed to their core. Like the AI Charlie Kirk song, but unironically. I'm truly …

For what it's worth, I use OSM for my modest project SurpriseDateSpot[1] which will randomly pick a restaurant (or other amenity) in your area! It gets a few thousand users per mon…

> Software engineering is a mostly solved problem at this point I guess that's why Claude Code has 0 open issues on Github. Since software engineering is solved, their autonomous a…

Having spent 3 years of my career working with Clojure, I think it actually gives you even more rope to shoot yourself with than Python/JS. E.g. macros exist in Clojure but not Pyt…

Currently I don't check the opening_hours, because I've found it's missing for many (most?) restaurants, so I felt it wouldn't be a very useful filter

Sure, my wiki username is the same as HN: https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:List... Thanks! I signed up to the newsletter

That's awesome! I recently picked up bird photography as a hobby and have contributed a few pictures to wiki commons. Do you have a website I can follow?

I got tired of trying to pick a date spot with my girlfriend, so I made this website to randomly pick an restaurant/date activity for me based on OpenStreetMap data. I've also used…

Have you heard of: https://www.openhistoricalmap.org I don't think you can pay for it, but I'm sure they'd accept donations!

Overture is an awesome resource because it has more coverage than OSM, but at the cost of accuracy. When I was considering using it for restaurants in surprisedatespot.com, I found…

Now I'm curious, what causes the latency for range requests with R2?

I recently saw that the project Wheel of Lunch fell victim to Yelp's API price changes, so I was inspired to make something similar using crowdsourced OpenStreetMap data.

Highly recommend this performance from the last Strange Loop on a similar topic! I had the pleasure of seeing it live. A great combination of live music and Markov chains. https://…

There have been quite a few articles corroborating the existence of books like this, the only part that needs believing is that someone actually used the books as advertised. https…

Maybe try the National Address Database? https://www.transportation.gov/gis/national-address-database...

I really enjoy using OSM for my projects! It can be a bit daunting to figure out how to use the data because there are so many different tools in the ecosystem. I wrote this articl…

osmnx looks like a cool library, I haven't seen that one before! As for self hosting overpass, I have considered it, but the installation steps seemed a bit tedious to me compared …

I'm a big fan! I use it for most of my OSM projects. It's pretty easy to download an OSM extract and process it into base tiles. Protomaps also provides a free set of base tiles th…

Author here! Happy to answer any questions you all have about this article.

Hi everyone, author here! I love making projects with OSM, but it can be challenging to figure out how to analyze the data. So I wrote the article I wish existed to help make it a …

Wow I really like the topographic visualization of the data, looks really slick!
