JOSM aside, I think it's great to target people that read HN with this article. They are likely tech savvy and as much as OSM tries to make it easy for less tech savvy folks to contribute, it's just not really feasible without third party apps like StreetComplete. I recently tried to teach my dad, who was interested but completely overwhelmed, even by the iD editor, and the whole idea of the data model. Which is a shame because he knows so much about the area where he lives.

> You miss a lot more content … and you spend a lot less time on the platform

That's precisely the point, Adam


It's funny how out of touch they are.

To be fair, he also said:

> The reason, he said, was that the best way to achieve reach in a chronological feed was to post more often, and businesses could afford to post more often than ordinary people.

But he conveniently omitted that chronological order algorithm would/should apply only to those accounts that users are following, not just having all the crap crammed into their feed.


> That's precisely the point, Adam

Oh, he knows.


The battery life during workout tracking did at least see a 3x improvement. 14 hours sounds plenty at first until you start riding your bike over long distances! 45 hours should cover most except the craziest ultra athletes, and those are probably sponsored by Garmin anyway

I haven't met anyone who is serious about cycling and not using a real bike computer.

Triathletes are more likely than most cyclists to use wrist computers over bike computers.

(Cue joke about triathletes not being serious about cycling.)


Fair enough, but they are not really cycling for 45 hours :)

If anything triathletes are least serious about swimming

If biking around 5000 km yearly is serious enough then I'm one - using only my phone to track. Since I will be taking my phone with me anyway, I don't need another device.

Surprise bills every summer solstice

This is great. My LinkedIn feed has been dominated by people regurgitating stuff they read on HN a week before, just in an algorithm friendly click-bait way.


I think they meant the original idea of the European Super League from the 1980s (that preceded the Champions League)


For pid I find pgrep to be the better suited tool
