RicCo386··on Man ran 700 miles to make 'insanely impressive' art on GPS fitness app
Nice project, I really like it. I have tried to upload my runs, but it didnt recognize lot of streets, I have runned through.

If I focus on missing section it seems that my recorded GPS track is few meters in the building and even no street is near wanderer just does not count it and it is missing ability to edit in map. I cant even edit the GPS in 3rd party app and upload as it is missing the upload ability and wants to be synced only via Strava. I am using Strava just as the middleware to upload GPX files to wanderer as I didnt find other way...

RicCo386··on Is Visa taking 2% out of all my transactions?
Fee is usually paid by business, so you pay £50, but the business got just £49. Most business calculate this fee to the price of the product/service, like they do with rent, electricity, gas, employee wages etc...

RicCo386··on Ask HN: Which developer conferences in Europe are worth attending?
Biggest Python conference is EuroPython (https://ep2019.europython.eu/) but it was in July so you missed that one...

There is PyCon in almost each country. I am volunteering at PyCon SK (https://pycon.sk/), but it will be in March next year.

You can make it to PyCon PL (https://pl.pycon.org/2019/en/), PyCon UK (https://2019.pyconuk.org/) in September in the past I have been on both and can recommend to visit.

RicCo386··on Ask HN: Can I use http2
Yes, for example in nginx config it is just one word in server definition. And if client doest support it, fallback automatically to standard https website. Really there is no reason not to enable it.
