How long do police keep searching for my mobile and laptop ?
I would recommend you use Prey and purchase the paid version. It gives you exact locations powered by GPS along with pictures taken through your webcam everytime someone uses it.
- How can I create an automation that will take a picture with the front camera when someone tries to enter a wrong password to unlock the Iphone ?

Laptop checkout solution
I use PreyProject which allows you to lend laptops out, active tracking with GPS, control zones, scheduled automations, data wipe, disk encryption and factory reset. Highly recommend. https://preyproject.com/

What would you use for mac security if your computer was stolen?
https://preyproject.com/ or Find My Device.
Look at https://preyproject.com/. I've been using it for years. Luckily, only had one time where we thought a laptop was stolen. It's not as easy to provision with PPPC security now, but it still works.

My kid keep losing his phone (with no phone number in it), is there a app to call or find it?
Look at the Prey Project app (https://preyproject.com/), which has extra features in case someone steals the phone. But it can also just ring a loud sound to find the phone when it goes missing.

The current state of map design in OpenStreetMap
I wouldn't compare osm-website and osm-carto at all. The commit logs are very different.
openstreetmap-website: https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/commi... . Numerous commits most days.
openstreetmap-carto: https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/commits . So far in 2024; one small regression fixed, one niche bit of tagging added to an existing style, some largely pointless code style tidying. That's it.

Organizing OpenStreetMap Mapping Parties
Contributing is simple:
1. When you see a trail or any other feature that doesn't appear on the map, take a picture.
2. When you get home, visit https://www.openstreetmap.org and start drawing.
The website has satellite images overlayed wirh map data, so it's easy to see what you are doing.
You can look at your pictures to remind yourself of what was missing.
If you have recorded your ride,you can also upload your GPX trace to OpenStreetMap to make it easier to trace features that don't show up clearly on satellite images.

The Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, Maryland Has Collapsed
What impressed me was that it looks like openstreetmap shows the bridge as down already.

2024: The year of the OpenStreetMap vector maps
Way overdue. OpenStreetMap's website at openstreetmap.org is its calling card, and for the past few years the default style shown (called Carto) has all but stagnated in development. Accepted features like highway=busway (introduced three years ago) are not rendered there because the maintainers can no longer be bothered, or dislike the tag personally despite broad community backing.
What worries me for this new effort is that Paul Norman is one of the two remaining Carto sometimes-active maintainers who refuse to merge contributed PRs or even provide alternative minimal support for features like highway=busway, leading to awkward gaps on the baseline map shown on openstreetmap.org.
I would love to be surprised in a positive way about this new effort, but I'm not holding my hopes up. Thankfully OpenStreetMap can be thoroughly useful in apps like OsmAnd and OrganicMaps, and the tile-based Tracestrack Topo layer on openstreetmap.org is getting quite decent:

Ask HN: Open-source projects that do something good for the world?
https://www.hotosm.org/tools-and-data runs software that's used for example after an earthquake. The tasking manager specifically is a reactjs app plus postgresql with plenty of open issues. HOTOSM has full-time staff, I'm not sure if the developers are full-time, but it's more organized than a volunteer project.
https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/ is Ruby on Rails (easy installable with a docker setup). The maintainers have trouble even reviewing incoming PRs so an experienced person who can triage, test, review is currently needed.
If you're in the US then https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_for_America might be worth having a look at.
https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/ will soon annouce vetted organizations who do open source. (last year https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/programs/2023/organizati...). Project are paid, the process is long though, all summer. https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/timeline

CRT Manufacturing
> 9450 S. W. Barns Rd
Portlandians: Are Barns Rd and Barnes Rd the same thing? Looks like a nice spot if so: https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=18/45.50901/-122.77468
That building is now a SFX agency: https://hellohinge.com/ (No relation to the dating app)
Also curious if the TEKsystems employment agency next door took its name from Tektronix.

Waterway Map
Yes, https://www.openstreetmap.org has quite inconsistent detail as it relies on people mapping stuff.
And help is welcome, anyone can join and help with mapping!
