Twitter #HiveMind does anyone know the story of this path in Valleyfield Fife. Crosses the Bluther Burn then just stops even though indicated as a connection on @OSMScotland? Seems like a good missing link avoiding the main through road. @CyclingEdin @SpokesLothian – at Stirling, Scotland

Andres Freund, the principal software engineer at Microsoft who discovered the xz backdoor really does deserve a big pat on the back. 👏 The outcome could have been much, much worse.

To understand Musk's renewed obsession with X and focus on financial services, you REALLY need to understand the X/Confinity merger that became PayPal. And, particularly, the Peter Thiel-led coup that kicked Musk out as CEO/Chief Strategist. Here's how that happened. 1/🧵

People who use Google Maps for walking directions must think the world is full of empty grey space.

It's Friday, so it's Cartography Day! Today I've been working on lots of updates to #OpenCycleMap. Cycleways now show surface quality. The best surfaces - like asphalt - get a solid line, and terrible surfaces - like sand and loose gravel - get shorter dashes.

My latest creation with the new #LiDAR data for Edinburgh. This time I have overlaid #OpenStreetMap data using the @MapTiler plugin for #QGIS and got a great result! All made with #OpenData & #OpenSource software!

Today I visited (virtually) Ardrossan in Scotland to add today's 100 houses to #OpenStreetMap Now, if a local could walk the route with Street Complete, then all the addresses could be put on...and their parcels might get delivered better.
