You tried openstreetmap.org. That isn’t a consumer mapping site, it’s the community site for the OSM project. The idea is that the data is published as open source for other apps/sites to build on.
I used to edit a market-leading print magazine with TextEdit. I don’t need layout features, the designers do that in InDesign. I don’t need a grammar checker or AI because I can write.
Actually the OP specifically said “grammar” checker, which since they can write is likely an intentional distinction. Alternate phrasings reveal the absurd elitism of the statement.
“I don’t need a spellchecker because I can spell.”
“I don’t need a calculator because I can do math.”
OP link should be edited to the ArcadeBlogger.com one, the submitted link is blatant AI-generated blogspam.
These days I feel like HN should also have a note on the submission page that if you're submitting a link you should look for the original source. It seems like there's been an exponential increase in blogspam lately.
Absolutely blows my mind that, in 2025, anyone can treat getting in a car drunk and causing death as anything less than premeditated. Motonormativity strikes again, I guess.
I've seen people wreck super hard trying to cross the streetcar rails at too shallow an angle in pdx multiple times. But that's an optional behavior. Just the other day I saw a moose crossing the road over in Twin Mountain, and I chose to slow down and not hit it. If I'd made another choice that resulted in a collision, and I'd survived, I wouldn't expect to get some settlement from the town of Twin Mountain, NH. Similarly if you ride your bike into a train track that one's pretty much on you lol.. being aware of one's surroundings is one of those basic life skills.
Installing a huge hazard in the road is optional too, though. If [insert city here] had saved money and used a bus instead of a street car, all of the problems that come from having a rail in the road would have been avoided.
For heavy rail, they don't often run in the road, parallel with the road, in the lane of travel. And when they do, it's usually in an industrial area that people aren't walking and cycling through.
Protobuf depending on Abseil (which has ongoing macOS build issues) is clinically insane. I tend to use protozero now which trades half a day’s boilerplate for two days’ build heartache.
No. Not at all. String splitting is a couple of lines' code. I don't want have to think about a logging framework just to read a protobuf - it can send stuff to stderr like everything else. If Google wants protobuf to be a widely accepted standard then it shouldn't require you to opt into their ecosystem to use it.
