Validation feedback can provide important social affirmation

reduction of the hazard rate to 80%

Can you please explain (to a non-statistician) what that means exactly? For example: Does it mean mappers who received feedback, were ~20% more likely to continue mapping compared to those who weren’t messaged?

Evolving roads

Very nice! Did you use osm-history-renderer to extract the geometries from the history dump, or something else?

[demo] Emojis in overpass turbo!! 😍😈😃

Nice!

Here’s the query usefully combined with some mapcss: http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/laC 😎😎😎

Sorry, currently, there’s no updates! :( I’ve been looking into doing updates via Overpass’ augmented diff, but I’ve run into some issues which need to be resolved upstream before it can work (see links in https://github.com/tyrasd/taghistory/issues/10). The alternative of reprocessing the history dump every week or month is currently also not really an option because of my limited computing resources.

overpass turbo now with MapCSS support

@Robot8A: Unfortunately, that’s also one more thing on my to-to list.

@Joost, probably not too hard. There’s already a ticket on github for that, where any progress will be documented: https://github.com/tyrasd/taghistory/issues/6

The number of the month: 74.9 percent

30’000 different IP adresses per each day of the weekend [accessed] Overpass API

yep, that’s in line with what I’m seeing in overpass turbo’s recent access logs (see the chart below; the pre-event base level is around ~500 visits per day ^_^). The bulk of new users seems to come from the US, though.

@Jojo4u: You’re free to do everything you want with the generated charts as long as you comply with ODbL’s minimal requirement for produced works, i.e. citing OSM as the data source. A link back to this blog article and/or the website taghistory.raifer.tech is very much appreciated, though. :)

Funny idea, that could indeed partially improve the issue with split ways. Still, a proper solution would have to track the actual length and/or area of the respective objects.

Oh, I wasn’t aware of trolleway’s implementation. Thanks for pointing it out!

# Wrapping up Google Summer of Code

Thanks for your good work! I’m really looking forward to having the lane editor in iD - it’s going to be awesome B-)

Towards OSM community revision of data confirming data classification

Isn’t this exactly the same diary entry as the one you posted already 4 days ago?

Creating interpolated GPX files for Mapillary

I suppose there are better ways to fetch a GPX file from a OSM way

You could also use overpass turbo (http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/cZY) to load the way and export it as GPX from there.

due parole sullo SPAM WAR da Bot e come secondo me potremmo prevenirlo

Nel passato è stato proposto di usare un sistema come http://wiki.hsr.ch/StefanKeller/ReMAPTCHA su osm, ma non è mai stato implementato…

Top 25 cities in the world by the number of POI

Ah, I see. The city-area definitions are really quite different: https://gist.github.com/tyrasd/8a6b92618eaa2e1a02aa

Top 25 cities in the world by the number of POI

How did you define the bbox of a city? Because using the Overpass API, I would get significantly smaller numbers of objects (e.g. 18k for Essen or 31k in Dortmund: http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/blX). The numbers are even smaller when using exact city limits (e.g. 12k for Dortmund: http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/blW or 18k for Yokohama).

highway=footway, path solved?

In the meantime, the PR has been merged already.
