• Genus name: Rattus
• Species name: rattus
• Subspecies name: rattus

You'd actually say it as R. rattus rattus or Rattus r. rattus.

Edit: Yes, per schipel, ludonarrative harmony is the opposite of ludonarrative dissonance.

No further comment. I will not be taking questions.

The GFDL is a free documentation license that's designed, among other things, to be easy-to-use alongside the GPL and LGPL software licenses. Whenever you go to submit something on Wikipedia, Wiktionary, etc., there's a clause stating that you irrevocably agree to release your contribution under the GFDL.

The article 'Wikipedia:Copyrights' gets into more of what "most" means here if you genuinely want to reuse its material for your project. Notably, the amount of text that's actually been imported under CC BY-SA 4.0 and thus cannot be licensed under the GFDL is quite miniscule; I don't think I've ever seen this happen before.

(Notably this is not the case for Wikimedia Commons, where each piece of media has its own licensure.)

Why YSK: Probably a lot fewer people know about Wikimedia's usage of the GFDL than they do about Creative Commons (BY-SA 4.0). If you're making a project licensed under the GPL, LGPL, or GFDL, GFDL material will slot in much more elegantly than CC BY-SA 4.0, meaning you can easily reuse material from these major open knowledgebases.

Puzzle is as follows:

What's the longest word (or words) that you can make solely from l33tcode digits? Namely:

• 0 = O
• 1 = L or l (but not both in the same word)
• 2 = Z
• 3 = E
• 4 = A
• 5 = S
• 6 = G
• 7 = T
• 8 = B
• 9 = nothing

I queried English lemmas from the English Wiktionary, filtered them in Python, and ended up with three 12-letter words:

• asbestosless
• sabotageable
• seatbeltless

Edit: Upon request:

• 458357051355
• 548074634813
• 534783171355

Some background context (assuming you're already roughly familiar with OpenStreetMap):

• StreetComplete is an Android-exclusive app that acts as an extremely trimmed-down, gamified way to contribute to OpenStreetMap. You don't contribute new structures, but rather you fill in details about existing ones.
• It'll ask you questions about existing structures like "How many levels does this building have?" or "What is the surface of this bike path?" These are called "quests", and it's expected (see: Bro Code, Division 6, Chapter 5, §32) that you're either there in person surveying or have been there recently and absolutely know that you're correct. The visual presentation is extremely smooth and beginner-friendly.
• This is helpful not just to new users but to people who don't ever want to get deep into editing the map. (It can also help regular contributors notice small details they accidentally missed in an area.) A bunch of non-power-users contributing small details goes a long way to making the map actually robust and arguably better than services like GMaps – instead of just something that a few privacy/FOSS advocates vocally use and giant corporations silently use.
• Go Map!! is a robust editor for iOS, kind of like an analog of Vespucci on Android.

However, I learned that Go Map!! isn't just a robust editor; you can also use it to contribute to StreetComplete's index of quests.

Why YSK: if you or a friend has an iOS device, this is a great way to contribute to OpenStreetMap with a very streamlined UI that acts more like a game than it does mapping software. I didn't know this before and would often only bring up StreetComplete and hope the other person has Android.

Okay, I know "now" is a couple months out-of-date, but I didn't know this until today, so I figured some other people might not either.

I have both OsmAnd and CoMaps, and I generally prefer OsmAnd for its extensive customizability, Carto render, and the fact it can be kept more up-to-date. So it surprised me it didn't have the option to view 3D buildings, since OSM for a long time now has kept track of information like building levels (building:levels), height (height), and even building parts with varying levels and heights. OsmAnd introduced this with Version 5.3 on April 21 for Android and April 24 for iOS.

Note that there are many towns and cities where this data either doesn't exist yet or is incomplete, but even then, buildings will default to building:levels=1 in terms of the heightmap, so it'll still give you some "texture", so to speak (and show where you can personally improve the map if you contribute).

This was one of the few things on OsmAnd I was really missing from CoMaps, so it's great to see it!

Edit: Looks like there's a "level of detail" suboption for building part levels, i.e. where different parts of the same building can have different levels.

Posting this because @[email protected] doesn't care to lift a finger to vet the unfettered slop they post here; this is the real article.

I don't know if this is common knowledge, but not all refrigerators nowadays are magnetic. When going out shopping for one, bringing a small fridge magnet can help you easily rule some models out if you care about that.
