• How to create multiple virtual cameras for an app in development?

  I have tested OBS's Virtual Camera feature, but it only provides a single virtual camera from what I've tried. I also tested a piece of software called Webcamoid. It was easy to use, but I couldn't get the MediaStream object from it using Tauri on MacOS for some reason, even though it worked when I opened the test app in Chrome instead. I am not sure it would enable multiple instances either. Source: about 1 year ago

• Webcam issues

  That did not seem to do anything with Cheese, however it lead me down a rabbithole to https://webcamoid.github.io/ with links to virtual camera drivers for "akvcam" and "v4l2loopback" which solved the issue within browser. I installed both, not sure which one was needed. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Was forced to participate in a Facebook Messenger call today.

  Yes, obs-virtualcam, or this open source thing will do it https://webcamoid.github.io/. Source: about 2 years ago

• Can someone please help me identify this coin?

  I would have liked to take better quality pictures, but this was the best my webcam could muster (at least when using Webcamoid). If the images don't appear, and show the alt text I provided, it's a coin with a silver outer circle, and a gold inner-circle (where the details are present). Source: over 2 years ago

• Serverless maps at 1/700 the cost of Google Maps API

  As the developer of this system, I concur with this; Protomaps is focused on map tiles, and can be used with other solutions such as http://geocode.earth for search. A small detail: I don't believe this is the absolute cheapest way to deliver map tiles. Renting an unmetered bandwidth server is always going to be the cheapest way to host content, but unmanaged servers don't give you SSL termination, infinite... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Is there a free version / alternative of google places api?

  The honest truth is that google places is simply the best in the world, and the 2nd place is far behind. that's probably foursquare. After that, mapbox, then mapquest, then https://geocode.earth/. All of those are paid. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Mantle – Serverless Maps Using Lambda or Cloudflare Workers

  The stack I describe in the post is only for map tiles - Map tiles are a good fit for CDNs because the input space is small (just Z/X/Y coordinates on a square grid) and thus very cacheable. Geocoding is a very different problem because the input space - human language - is much, much larger, and answering queries quickly to support features like autocomplete really requires a server with hot data in memory. One... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Positionstack (by APILayer) Geocoding-API down for over 14 days, with no ETA

  If anyone comes across this looking for an alternative, we can help at Geocode Earth (https://geocode.earth). We're a small independent company that has been working on geocoding since 2013, first as part of Mapzen(https://mapzen.com), and then with our own self-funded business after Mapzen shut down at the start of 2018. Our core software, the Pelias Geocoder (https://pelias.io) is open source, and ironically we... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Should you contribute open data to OpenStreetMap for free?

  Here is why you should contribute to OSM even though there are major players profiting from it: OSM is big enough and good enough that all the tech giants (except Google) would do better to start with OSM and improve it to meet their needs than to start a new, completely proprietary map from scratch. That means that we are in an amazing place where in addition to the substantial volunteer OSM community, there are... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
