This #camera belonged to my grandfather, who has passed away almost 50 years ago. Light meter and mechanics still work flawlessly. Definitely built when things were still made to last…
I didn’t know until recently, but it is actually a proper rangefinder (like a #Leica you can drop a few grand on). That means there is a little ghost image of your subject in the viewfinder you can match up to focus.
Almost through my first roll. Will post the results here!

@richlv@mastodon.social @richardf@en.osm.town Turns out the quickest route is loading your folding bike onto a bus. 🤣

@preya There is a wordplay joke on the product page which they translated into a different jokes in other languages. Which means they hired actual translators. That's also not a given this day and age.
The fact that in the German translation the joke disappeared further proves this fact.
My aunt gave me a 50 year old Indonesian cookbook she used during a course way back.
I feel like a wizard finding an ancient spellbook.
It’s full of ingredients and spices I didn’t even know existed. Boy am I going to have fun with this.
If you are at #sotmeu25, be sure to check out the workshop for creating your own basemap with #MapLibre and Planetiler. 13:30 (1:30PM) @ Way.
Thanks @waysidemapping@mastodon.social for the picture of my lightning talk earlier. 😇

The Germans are on a roll, next talk is another custom Go server with from @woodpeck@en.osm.town. A way to query a public #PostGIS database called PostPass. Can be used with Overpass Turbo / Ultra.

Really cool to see these innovations by #OSM veterans.
Long overdue, but I finally have a blog again! My first blog post is about my experience visiting #Berlin and hanging out with #DWeb.

Thanks @tmcw@mastodon.social for his article 'How to blog'. It kept me from falling in the all too familiar familiar trap to look for the perfect blogging solution, instead of keeping it simple so you can focus on writing. https://macwright.com/2019/02/06/how-to-blog
Still need a good way to handle images without pushing them all in a git repo. Advice welcome.

@crisverstraeten@mastodon.social Data flow is not something you can visualize automatically because it is a high level concept, not something inherent in the language. Dependencies between files and between functions are not a problem.
Replying to
@crisverstraeten@mastodon.social What do you mean with 'data flow'?
This comes to mind. https://www.npmjs.com/package/dependency-cruiser

@clew@ecoevo.social It's not been taken care of at all I would say. It's just super robust.

@ianthetechie@fosstodon.org That's not the best route. Much nicer to go through the nature area all the way!
At least, that's what I think. Going to bike this route tomorrow on my way to giving a #MapLibre workshop. 🙂
Replying to
@dvk@toot.re Pretty much anything will do a much better job.
It's almost as if Google's bike navigation is just using the same algorithm as car navigation, just avoiding highways.
Replying to
@richlv@mastodon.social All much better than Google, but I think the shortest route is pretty much what you want here.
You have two high throughput motorways on both sides, so this whole area will be super low traffic.
The intelligent routers that prefer bike paths do slightly worse because they sacrifice distance for not riding on roads that technically allow cars (but are beautiful and will have very little traffic in practice).
Replying to
On the second picture I nudged it with a stop on the way.
Despite that, Google Maps' router decides it is a great idea to make a detour just to catch a bit of N618 (a main car road).
@Bibliothecaris @SURF Werkt goed!

@andrewstroehlein@mastodon.social Much earlier. For me the final straw was when links to Mastodon were blocked.
Replying to
@ianthetechie@fosstodon.org That was pretty much the only point I disagreed with. But it's a give and take with these kinds of organization wide policies.
What I think is most useful to know is which part of a PR was written with the help of AI. Because that parts needs the most skeptical eyes.
Also I think prompts may help us retrace our steps and regenerate or modify parts of the same code in the future.
Lastly, some models produce better or worse results than others.

@skiptools Congrats! What's your story on map integration?
Might want to take a look at #MapLibre Native. https://maplibre.org/projects/native/
Happy to chat (we're also FOSS).
What posting a message on X feels like.
Replying to
@johnl@mastodon.social I reported a TypeScript bug. One of Microsoft’s engineers assigned it to Copilot. It created a PR that fixed the issue. It never got merged.
So obviously the solution is handing off PR reviews to LLMs too. /s
Replying to
@richlv@mastodon.social @fschaap@mastodon.social Frank, please be a bit more respectful on Mastodon when interacting with people. I am pretty sure you wouldn't walk up to people in real life and say "X is crap".
OpenStreetMap is not an alternative to Google Maps. OpenStreetMap is a community that gathers map data and a dataset. There is a simple map on the website, but it is not an end-user application like Google Maps.
There are many apps that use OpenStreetMap data, try starting with something simple like Organic Maps.

@joeldn@en.osm.town Either the camera is a bit of a potato or that is a Monet painting. 😬
#FlixTrain is not too bad for the price. Wifi even works which is next-level for German standards.
Especially for people like me that like to decide on travel last minute it is great, because #DB is like 4-5 times as expensive then.

We changed that last point from 'verify before opening a PR', because I noticed a lot of people these days are opening PRs with vibe coded bugfixes and feature implementations.
They're basically bug reports and feature requests in PR form, and I find they can be a good starting point for a discussion or a proper fix or implementation.
Replying to
@fschaap@mastodon.social @richlv@mastodon.social Looks like you are using OsmAnd. Apparantly its geocoder does not support searching for building names.
OsmAnd uses data from OpenSteetMap but is a different project.
I found a pedestrian traffic light in the Netherlands that is either green or ‘you may cross at your own risk’.
So basically how pedestrian traffic lights work worldwide (except Germany), but they made it official.

@tmcw I am curious, have you ever looked at #NOSTR? Been playing around with it. It comes out of the Bitcoin community (which makes it slightly suspect to me).

@thomasfuchs@hachyderm.io If the quality of software is literally measured by how infrequently it gets updated then Internet Explorer is high quality. Don't think so.
Software update frequency has little to do with quality. Software updates often do tend to make software better, at least in open source where entshittification does not play a role. Frequent updates also mean software is actively developed, which is also a good thing.
@thomasfuchs@hachyderm.io You can simulate a nuclear reactor or a car crash too even though the real world is way more complex.
That is kind of the point of a simulation.
