Updated list here!

Good job! 😀😀😀😀😀

Vector Tile File Formats

The piece I was missing is that a single range request can ask for multiple non-adjacent ranges, so you can request an arbitrary number of non-sequential tiles in a single request. Thanks for the explanation.

Vector Tile File Formats

I saw Brandon’s presentation on pmtiles at SOTM US in Richmond but didn’t really grok the significance. I now understand better what many of the advantages are, but I don’t know enough about cloud services to understand the big reduction in cost. Is it because AWS charges based on number of files so by putting everything in a single file (and use range requests) you can hack the usage fees? I’d really appreciate a more thorough explanation.

Check if POI website is active

So nice to see the fluent use of bash and the unix toolchain for this. It feels like it’s a dying art.

There is a QA tool (I unfortunately don’t recall which one) that does something similar, but also ensures that the POI name appears somewhere on the first page of the site. With a slightly longer awk script you could do the same.

Very nice!

Simple demo app that analyses OSM changeset data (and why modern file formats are cool)

You can also read the changeset data already hosted on AWS rather than uploading it yourself: osm.org/user/Jennings%20Anderson/diary/394762

Who maps every day (without fail)?

@Aurimas Fišeras You’re right, and your streak is incredible! Table is updated with improved data.

The worst night club for a durty take away after chucking out time: Distance to the nearest fast food place for every nightclub

Lots of locales have food carts that never get mapped since they’re not permanent structures, but are still relatively permanent establishments.

Lorry driver joke is inappropriate (and not in the TW version).

If anyone else is curious about the map access statistics referenced here, it’s the number of times each map tile has been served by the tile server: https://planet.openstreetmap.org/tile_logs/
