JBiserkov··on StreetComplete on iOS is now in public beta
From the README:

StreetComplete is an easy to use editor of OpenStreetMap data available for Android. It can be used without any OpenStreetMap-specific knowledge. It asks simple questions, with answers directly used to edit and improve OpenStreetMap data. The app is aimed at users who do not know anything about OSM tagging schemes but still want to contribute to OpenStreetMap.

StreetComplete automatically looks for nearby places where a survey is needed and shows them as quest markers on its map. Each of these quests can then be solved on site by answering a simple question. For example, tapping on a marker may show the question "What is the name of this road?", with a text field to answer it. More examples are shown in the screenshots below.

The user's answer is automatically processed and uploaded directly into the OSM database. Edits are done in meaningful changesets using the user's OSM account. Since the app is meant to be used on a survey, it can be used offline and is economic with data usage.

     P=NP, but the margin-right is too narrow. Use Claude Design to hack Figma so you can change the margin and see the whole proof.

JBiserkov··on OpenRouter is joining Stripe
eBay actually ended up making a net gain of approximately $1.4 billion on its total investment in Skype.

Are you perhaps thinking of Microsoft acquiring Skype for $8.5 billion? (a similar amount as the OpenRouter deal)

What was the prompt that was used to generate the prompt?

How many cycles did it take to cover all the bases twice?

JBiserkov··on My thoughts after using Clojure for about a month
Look at the latest babashka release https://github.com/babashka/babashka/releases/tag/v1.12.218

What do you see in Assets? Native executables, specific to an OS + CPU architecture combination, like Linux + AMD 64 or MacOS + AArch 64.

JBiserkov··on My thoughts after using Clojure for about a month
indeed, light-weight means you just add a <script> and you're off to the races.

There's also nbb if you're targeting node https://github.com/babashka/nbb

JBiserkov··on My thoughts after using Clojure for about a month
> babashka (SCI)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't babashka's "host"... um.. "native", for lack of a better word? It's compiled with Graal VM native, no?

Yes, there is SCI (Small Clojure Interpreter) in the middle, but that's beside the point, no?

I don't know how he got there from Biden's literal pitch to donors that "nothing will fundamentally change".

JBiserkov··on It's hard to justify Tahoe icons
It's a blunt instrument, but this is how I would justify the Tahoe icons:

    .icon {
      text-align: justify;
      display: none;
    }
JBiserkov··on Pilot narrowly avoids 'midair collision' with US Air Force plane near Venezuela
> An aerial refueler flying so close to Venezuela can't have been there with the best intentions. I don't think that they're too keen on advertising their presence or whereabouts.

Which is precisely why they should avoid flying INTO civilian aircraft.

Imagine if that refueler had stayed away from the JetBlue, we wouldn't be talking about it ;-)

JBiserkov··on OpenAI declares 'code red' as Google catches up in AI race
Stop anthropomorphizing non-human things. They don't like it.
JBiserkov··on Let go of StackOverflow; communities must take ownership
I don't remember where I read this, but will tell this story every time ChatGPT is mentioned as a replacement of StackOverflow.

> I asked chatgpt how do I do X. Chatgpt replied with the accepted answer from stack overflow, thus saving me 1 second. In theory. In practice, what Chatgpt did NOT tell me was that the top voted comment on that accepted answer said "Do not do this, doing X in this way creates a security vulnerability of type Y because of Z"

The requested prompt does not exist or you do not have access. If you believe the request is correct, make sure you have first allowed AI Studio access to your Google Drive, and then ask the owner to share the prompt with you.

This.
JBiserkov··on Steam Machine
A bit of topic, but I was wondering how much bigger is the steam machine compared to the mac mini m4, since that's what I have and is my frame of reference. Obviously comparing apples to oranges and only talking about physical volume, not features, compatibility, price, personal preferences, etc.

Mac Mini m4: 127 x 127 x 50 mm = 0.8 L

Steam Machine: 156 x 162 x 152 = 3.8 L

That's 4.76 times more volume.
