This is excellent, I was looking for an open source replacement for Google Maps on the web for a while.

And on the top of it, it is open source! I am heading to github and see if I can contribute.

Thanks, I found it in the 'Content Downloaders' menu!

It estimates the download time to 6 hours, and it's not because of the size but most likely their server works slowly. And in the meanwhile it does not let you play, well tomorrow then :)

After I stopped using FB I missed a mobile news reader app that works without having to install a server or create an account.

So with some friends we created an app called Feeds https://github.com/felfele/feeds

It does everything on the phone and there is no ads or tracking whatsoever. You can also mute content with keywords.

It is open-source and currently in open beta for iOS and Android.

Shameless plug: I am currently working on a free, open-source, mobile RSS reader which doesn't require a server or any kind of registration, because everything happens and stays on the device.

Currently it's in beta testing, let me know if you find it interesting. https://github.com/felfele/feeds

For anyone more deeply interested in this topic I recommend to read this blog post from Archagon. It describes the different alternatives (OT, CmRDT, CvRDT, diff sync) for writing a collaborative editor. And unlike academic papers it is written in a format how a programmer does research and thinks about a problem in real life, so it's very natural to follow, even if it's long and complex.

Type Wars 10 years ago

Modern type systems made type inference and gradual typing possible and those are making a huge difference nowadays.

With type inference you can write programs almost as easily and productively as in dynamic languages. With gradual typing you can basically write the same code as in a dynamic language and still get type safety (e.g. TypeScript).

Swift, Go, (Rust, Scala, C# etc. but even C++) has type inference today. Maybe dynamic languages will get type annotations and gradual typing in the future and then basically we can have the best of both worlds.

If you open a file with Elm Reactor, and edit it and save it then Elm Reactor will get notified by that and recompile the code in the browser. See the first video in the blog post.
