<p><strong><a href="https://github.com/simonw/csv-diff/releases/tag/0.3.1">csv-diff 0.3.1</a></strong></p> I released a minor update to my csv-diff CLI tool today which does a better job of displaying a human-readable representation of rows that have been added or removed from a file—previously they were represented as an ugly JSON dump. My script monitoring changes to the official list of trees in San Francisco has been running for a month now and has captured 23 commits! <p><small></small>Via <a href="https://twitter.com/simonw/status/1114979445343842304">@simonw</a></small></p> <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/cli">cli</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/csv">csv</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/diff">diff</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/projects">projects</a></p>

<p><strong><a href="http://www.tosback.org/">TOSBack | The Terms-Of-Service Tracker</a></strong></p> Fantastic idea (and implementation) from the EFF—a site that currently tracks 44 website policy documents and highlights changes to them using a diff engine (from Drupal). A global RSS feed is available—it would be useful if individual feeds for different sites and organisations were also provided. <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/diff">diff</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/drupal">drupal</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/eff">eff</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/privacy">privacy</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/tosback">tosback</a></p>
