Hi everyone, I built cspend.uk which is a free site that combines over 24 million published payments from all London boroughs and councils into one fast, searchable database. You can search by supplier, description, amount, date, borough, etc, filter/sort results, and skip the hassle of separate CSV files or PDFs per council. It's a side project to make public spending data easier to explore so that people can check where council tax goes. Feedback welcome: Is this helpful? What would you search for? Any improvements or issues? Found anything funny or interesting?
I tried a route from a London tube station to Newcastle train station and it found one on the frontend for the tool so I think it may support national rail
Yeah that would make an interesting addition. I was thinking about error correction so if you swapped two cards it would be okay but was struggling with how it would work, but I think it would be quite fun to add :)
Hey all, I found a cool way to convert text into a specific order of a deck of playing cards. I detailed the instructions of how it works in the blog post but a brief overview would be that it uses Lehmer codes which allow you to uniquely identify each permutation of a set i.e. each of the many many ways a deck of cards can be shuffled/arranged
