And there are no realtime updates,for example bus won't even go on a Sunday but it would still route you like it would ..

Interesting project osmand user here mainly in Germany.

In some cities osm data is far more accurate when t comes to opening hours or if a shop actually still exists compared to Google maps. However searching for them is a pain that one needs a bug improvement.

Since I can't rely on the search I usually try to find the poi category and click though the results,super markets,restaurants, pharmacy,atm etc works but so many cliks and caveats. Search needs massive improvement.

Happy Birthday, usually I don't write such things so feel honoured stranger!
Every few years I stumble across the same java or mongodb issue. I google for it, find it on stackoverflow, and figure that it was me who wrote that very answer. Always have a good laugh when it happens.

Usually my memory regarding such things is quite well, but this one I keep forgetting, so much so that I don't remember what the issue is actually about xD

It was in read only mode,now available again

There is also https://gurubase.io/ Which is sometimes used as a kind of talk with the documentation, it claims to validate the response somehow

I used Datagrip like 10 years ago and it was amazing, back then I used some pre-release evaluation thingy, loved it, was only working with mysql though.

last year i looked at it again, in a project where mongodb is used, it did not perform so well, sure the features where there, but still mongodb is document orientated so i had to come up with workarounds and so ... yeah back to cli unfortunately

but for any relational database, I'd rather use datagrip!

1. People love correcting other people. If you want to get an answer, don’t ask for the solution — instead, post a (possibly) wrong answer under a different pseudonym. People will then want to prove you wrong. 2. Even more so if you’re a woman.
Do you use netflix? Maybe similar when taking a screenshot there you end up with black where the video is playing

I can totally imagine that they will do something similar,so I guess it's pretty simple to implement if done like that

Andoird has an airplane mode Once enabled airplane mode you can enable Bluetooth again and airplane mode stays on,so just no mobile data an.same is true for WiFi.

NFC however isn't touched by the airplane mode

...At least it was like that on the android phones I owned
