If your application allows for it, I also recommend checking out Protomaps / PMTiles. Brandon has some insanely cool work making a tile format and related infrastructure that scales nicely.

You post it on HN first where all the grumpy security open source contributors congregate.

I can't speak for OP but their take sounded pretty city-focused. I live in a downtown that feels so overrun with these monstrous SUVs and what-have-you for no reason. I know they're useless …

If web 4.0 is better forms, count me in.

IANAL but from what I understand, folks will be able to use the current version of the software as it is currently licensed, forever. The author is making clear their intent to change the license on a…

I was so excited for a sec thinking that the matched the prints somehow to one individual dinosaur! It's not exactly news that the fossil record matches on either side of the Atlantic, though sti…

I've been learning Rust and really enjoying it, but the primary downside (compared to C++) is the lack of access to the large, well-tested libraries that exist in C++. For example, my work would …

I'm particularly excited about FUTO funding Immich [0], a photo management app similar to Google Photos. The money allowed the FUTO devs to go full-time [1] [0] https://immich.app/…

This is the most Racket thing...it's a language designed for writing other languages so most problems are solved by creating a new DSL.

That is source available, not open source. The term "open-source" is widely used to describe software that is licensed using a specific set of software licenses that grant certain freedoms t…

Correction: Regeneron is the sponsor, it is the Society for Science that is responsible. When I was there the sponsor was Intel, so I didn't immediately recognize the meaning of "Regeneron&q…

I agree that research misconduct is different than what I'm describing. I think that students who conduct serious research with local universities (for example) should be celebrated. But I do thi…

I was a finalist at the 2017 ISEF and it was quite an experience. A lot of super smart kids there and we all had fun living it up in Los Angeles. There was a stark contrast between those of us who had…

I was a bit surprised to walk onto a DC Metro car last weekend to find the walls plastered with ads for Mullvad. Just wanted to note that Mullvad is spending money on traditional advertising, as well …

I see that this post was flagged, I am curious why and hope we can discuss that. I had not heard of this group at Google nor the story of their arrest/termination, and I found the account to be i…

I can't think of any (small) libraries I could recommend to learn best practices, but what does come to mind is click [0], the CLI library for Python. Their documentation is pretty great, there a…

Or, open the Python docs in your favorite browser, bring the omnibar into focus, and click the little button at the bottom of it to add the Python documentation to your list of available search engine…

stow has worked really nicely for managing my dotfiles. Here are two blog posts that helped me get my workflow down: https://alexpearce.me/2016/02/managing-dotfiles-with-stow…

StreetComplete is fabulous, and another surveying app worth mentioning is Every Door [0] which is specifically focused on updating business and other POI details. [0] https://every-door.app…

Quick plug for the OpenStreetMap community, too. Online or in-person, there are so many active mapping groups. I started one in my city last year and it's been an awesome way to meet with like-mi…

weather.gov is unironically one of my favorite websites, and I visit it almost every day. I am cautiously optimistic about this new version!

I'm honestly glad to hear you say that. I have some lossless audio I bought off Bandcamp, so I'll set it up again and do another test. I want lossless music to matter to me, but so far it …

I know this is controversial but personally, Spotify Premium is already hifi. I simply cannot hear the difference between 320kbit/s and higher bitrates. I have high-end audio equipment at home, a…

I've received a few emails from myself, maybe four or five years later? It was a really moving experience. I highly recommend this service.

I'm not super familiar with LineageOS' funding model as a FOSS project, but I hope the community will be able to sustainably fund-raise into the future. I've been a member of their Patr…

Interesting idea re:internal links. For sufficiently complex issues of this nature, pandoc filters[0] are a powerful tool for this kind of mid-conversion processing. I've made some cool projects …

...presumably using your splitflap project in Racket, which I use for my own site! Thank you for your work on it.

I'm getting a 404 error at this URL

I grew up in a U.S. city without any billboards, and it was such a shock to move somewhere with a "normal" number of billboards. Besides being ugly, I wonder how they could possibly be effec…
