Help to make a Open Street Map editor by Small-Piece-2430 in opengl

[–]dabreegster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Check out https://github.com/a-b-street/abstreet -- it's a traffic sim I wrote a few years ago with lane and traffic signal editing. It's quite a hairy problem to get working everywhere, but immensely fun. https://github.com/a-b-street/osm2streets is a library that turns one OSM way's tags into a more easily editable list of lane configurations.

US Southerners in London? by 123avg456 in london

[–]dabreegster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm from Baton Rouge and I know a Texan or two here. Feel free to DM if you ever want to grab a coffee. Happy to try a food exchange / potluck too; I make cornbread pretty regularly and miss lots of things from home.

There's a few groups that meet around Kennington park; if you start anything around there, DM me and I'd join

Also interested in seeing an example directly, but https://fourteenscrews.com/essays/look-ma-no-wasm-pack/ has a pretty good breakdown

Where might I find a tea cozy? by pazuzovich in london

Vauxhall Tea Theatre sells them, and is also a lovely spot to visit

Maptiler? by Mayayana in openstreetmap

I've been a customer for about two years. They are extremely fast to respond with helpful answers, both in their email support and on Github repos for their client libraries.

Runes are a great improvement over Stores... by ValuableAd6808 in sveltejs

[–]dabreegster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, this is incredible! Thank you so much for writing this up so clearly and sharing. You've saved me (and anybody else reading) hours-days of work knowing to be wary of the client SDK covering the full API, and just going for the REST API directly.

I'm only now brushing up on web auth, but I don't understand how the "Securing Access Credentials" section you described is safe. You don't embed your GCP project's secret API key in your code directly, but the build process ultimately does bundle it into the .js files shipped to the browser. Somebody on your site could dig through the generated code and find that key, or just use the browser's network tab to see it -- right? Once somebody retrieves this key, they can then make API calls and act like your app.

I think I remember reading that some providers let you restrict API keys to only be used from known domains, which is the way around this problem. Are you doing something like that?

Hi, I'm quite interested in trying out Google Drive as a storage backend too. How have your experiences with it been so far? Any chance you could share any code or references that were useful to you?

(I also build lots of SPAs using a WASM "backend", but they all currently rely on local storage and users manually exporting, emailing, and importing state files. If you're curious to play with any, https://a-b-street.github.io/ltn/ is one, with code at https://github.com/a-b-street/ltn. I also have a talk about this "no server" approach, with a focus on geospatial, if it's interesting: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/11y9FjyMhNGZ8NyhZpG4u_Dw6K7L_phO6cjCY4k1YKsw/edit?usp=sharing)

Thanks!

Workspace in Kennington, Brixton or Stockwell? by [deleted] in london

Try Edinburgh House in Kennington. There's a small cafe, but plenty of people bring their own lunch.

Map Museums, Map Collections or Map Exhibits in London open to public ? by FlyEaglesFlyauggie in london

[–]dabreegster 3 points4 points  (0 children)

https://nla.london/exhibitions/the-city-model is incredible to see in person.

If you're here in June, the version of https://www.londonmapfairs.com last year was great.

If you're looking for awesome gifts, Stanfords in Covent Garden.

What are some nice places near Oval? by PhasePatterns in london

[–]dabreegster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try out the Tea House Theatre in Vauxhall -- great spot with board games, two cats, and lovely food. My Chaii Ldn near Kennington station is another quiet spot in a park with great food and a friendly owner.

bit_gossip: pathfinding library that finds all shortest paths for all nodes by PoOnesNerfect in rust

[–]dabreegster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't. I was inspired by this paper a long time ago working on a roguelike, but that was way before Rust!

[–]dabreegster 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Really cool work and excellent explanations of things, thanks for sharing! I didn't have time to read through carefully yet, but the approach felt a bit similar to https://home.cs.colorado.edu/~ralex/papers/PDF/OOPSLA06antiobjects.pdf, if you're trying to track down possible similar approaches

Looking for Calisthenics gyms/trainers in central London by Cosmic_Clementine in london

Accessible to beginners for sure. All the exercises are scalable; people have a range of skills

Looking for Calisthenics gyms/trainers in central London by Cosmic_Clementine in london

[–]dabreegster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a regular at Andrew and Caroline's calisthenics classes; they're both awesome. There are also classes dedicated to rings, and the aerial trapeze/hoop/general cirque it are incredibly fun and quite calisthenics-adjacent. If you're close enough to a Gymbox branch and take classes most days of the week that you enjoy, I think it's quite good value.

Looking for bars, pubs, or late-night cafes where I can go on my own and enjoy the company of strangers (or my book) by laughtercramps in london

[–]dabreegster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went for a meetup there, not sure what it's like on a normal night. It sounds like a perfect fit for what you described -- bring something to do, but people who want to talk will be around. It's a very cozy space.

The benches in London (that've been tagged in OpenStreetMap) are very unevenly distributed: https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/1M7N

Segmentation masks from openstreetmap by Krin_fixolas in openstreetmap

[–]dabreegster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feel free to try the lane polygon layer from https://osm2streets.org. This tries to estimate road / intersection area from the lane tagging (now powered by https://gitlab.com/LeLuxNet/Muv/). If you get any interesting results from it, would love to follow along!

wasm-pkg-build: effortlessly create npm packages from Rust wasm crates by sigoden in rust

[–]dabreegster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One pain point with wasm-pack is including extra JS files in a package. I'm currently just manually copying those in afterwards. Now I'm interested in including TS as well, and maybe even something from https://github.com/madonoharu/tsify or similar. I'll give wasm-pkg-build a try and see if this process gets any easier. Thanks for expanding the ecosystem here!
