I have build a new and improve #search functionality for @MapComplete. Still a work in progress, but a first testable version is onli e here: pietervdvn.github.io/mc/featur…
It supports switching themes, showing search results on the map and suggestions.
Still to do: highlighting the result on hover and making sure that a search result and layer info don't both show.
Please, test it, break it and let me know what went wrong, what was confusing and what you'd still love to see.

@joost_schouppe Yeah, that one is also on the roadmap for this feature ;)
Also: a filter that shows e.g. 'all shops with name'...
I really love this description of a retracted study: not only does it explain what was retracted (turns out men don't generally divorce their sick wives), but also it covers what the error was (a coding problem treated people who left the study as divorced) how it all went down (someone tried to replicate, asked for data and didn't get the same analysis. Contacted the authors and they were horrified and immediately worked to retract).
It's a really nice story of why replication matters and how to be good at science. This is how I was taught science should work, but I rarely come across such good retrospectives.

Hi,
mir fällt immer wieder auf, dass sich euer Kalender an den Bedürfnissen von Manager Typen orientiert. Und an Müttern und Väter, die irgendwie 20 verschiedene Sachen an einem Tag geregelt bekommen müssen.
Es gibt aber in den Einstellungen überhaupt keine Optionen. Ich habe nicht so massenhaft Termine und möchte prinzipiell in der Monatsansicht starten.
Und wenn ich einen Termin für nächstes Jahr habe, will ich durch Klick auf das Jahr / Datum es händisch eingeben. Nervige Wischerei
Tooth fairies spend the first thirty years of their lives as remora fish collecting teeth from sharks. So you know they don't play.

Tak jsem doma, zpátky od Ostrova byl hrozný protivítr, už jsem chtěl jet vlakem 😄😄
Kam se hrabu s mými 13 km na rotopedu obden. Apropos, vy se nějak rozcvicujete před jízdou?
Nicméně cesta lesem i nelesem, polem i nepolem (i oraným) a hlavně, tak od půlky, kdy jsem se začal vracet, s půchýřem, protože jsem si vzal nový malo rozšlápnutý boty, ve kterých se mi shrnula ponožka. 🤦♂️ Ale naše hafanka zcela spokojená. 😁

Totally normal political candidate buying donuts and demonstrating his appeal to the average American…
Candidate: “How long you work here now?”
Worker 1: “Since the beginning of July.”
Candidate: “Ok. Ok. Good. How about you, sir?”
Worker 2: “Almost 2 years.”
Candidate: [ waves arm across donut case ]
“Yeah, gimme a lotta glazed here, some sprinkled stuff, some of these cinnamon rolls, just whatever makes sense.”
[ open-mouthed smile ]
I maintain that you can tell nearly everything you need to know about a person by how they treat the service workers waiting on them.
Also by how they treat animals (not just their pets). But there were none in the donut shop, so…

tbf, audits are the bread and butter of tons of cybersec firms and red teaming is the foundation of those.
like, people want to red team because there’s money in pentesting with a lower barrier to entry. it’s not exactly their fault.
Hololive launched a social media app. their chat has historically needed heavy sophisticated moderation and filtering to limit the spread of dox materials for their vtubers; their social media app had barely any and was quickly put on lockdown after multiple vtubers got doxed.
talent agencies are supposed to protect their talents and Hololive did the opposite.

Disability Rights New York has filed a class action lawsuit against Nassau County seeking an injunction to stop the enforcement of mask bans.
This is exactly the kind of action we need to see happen against discriminatory & ableist mask bans.
Law enforcement should not be the arbiter of who is “sick enough” to legally wear a mask. Many disabilities are invisible - and police are NOT doctors.
For more on the Nassau County mask ban and why it’s discriminatory - as well as why everyone (disabled or not) should be allowed to wear a mask - read my article here: disabledginger.com/p/nassau-co…
