The lockdown started on 16th December right? Shouldn't the effect become visible after 2 or 3 weeks? The current numbers are the outcome of the pre-lockdown rules?

I don't know how common this is, but here in The Netherlands, such license plate reading cars are driving through the streets to fine owners with parking tickets.

It's fine to come up with some magician who created our world and is looking at us through his/her terrarium, if that makes you feel warm and cosy. It's a whole other level to claim the world is flat and/or just a couple

Paying Google to destroy the web and your privacy? That sounds very immoral to me

And how many people can be killed by a government which is mandated to enter the bodies of it's citizens by force? The people should be convinced to take vaccins and medicines (has worked pretty well thus far), but force is a slippery

No it doesn't. Democracy means you have the freedom (free press, independent judicial system, etc) to vote for the government you want. It doesn't mean you get the government you want. And it surely doesn't mean you get to bl

I don't know about out-of-the-box ready software. Depending on how much time you have you'd either train your own model with your own ground truth or you can use an open source model. Libraries and archives sometimes make theirs a

I work on the visualization and publishing side of this kind of data, but I do know our HTR works even better if we combine authors and centuries into one model, instead of separating. Did you try and compare results?

I know places that use disposable carton cups, because their impact on the environment is less than cleaning a reusable cup. Which will probably make people scream that it's all too complicated to keep up with. I would love for people

I really like your simple version to browse the manuscript and I agree it should be available at codex-atlanticus.it, but removing the design and interaction you loose a lot of information. Maybe to you this information is useless, but to a

OT, but I was using Jest and switched back to Mocha. Since my tests are nothing special and 100% browser env they load instant. Should have done sooner

I did not downvote and will not, because the post is phrased as a question. But, I do oppose compulsory vaccination because it harms bodily integrity.

I imagine a WordPress-like site, where you draw widgets and bring it to life with a theme. Maybe nothing too rocket sciency, but I reckon there's a market for it.

I think this is great. I see a future where designers can draw and create an interactive prototype. Anything beyond that is, my (educated) guess, long way off. Anybody hoping this will remove the need for designers or front end devs will be

It's false, because "most important" is unqaulafiable. In the browser it is most definitely the most important language, but in other areas most definitely not. Disclaimer, I like TypeScript

It's a bit unfair to measure by weight, because mobile phones are light. One television, monitor or desktop computer can weigh more than 10kg, but may not have the same impact on the environment as 10kg/125g = 80 mobile phones. An

Teletekst is an outlier, because it did not start as a web page, but the design has been consistent over the years and I still use the site and the app for news, TV guide and weather forecast daily!

Ok, shooting from the waist. Say on average people use their phone 3 years. Say, we could stretch that to 4 years. Roughly 2/3 of the world population owns a phone, that's 5 billion phones. That means we would save 5 billion phone

by GijsjanB 8y ago
You'd be mistaken. That would be a lot of phones and hence a lot of (rare) metals being delved. Sadly, even something as precious as a mobile phone is a throw away product nowadays. I have no solution, it's us, consumers, who are

Where I live, the municipality is seriously looking into an out of the city distribution centre with (smaller, electric) vehicles for supplying the city centre. That doesn't make it free of cars, but it will be more efficient (not ever

You need to narrow it down a bit. Know yourself. Find your passion. I know this sounds tacky, but there are sooo many variables in choosing a professional direction. You are the only constant. For example, it is very important to determine

This is a rhetoric that is being repeated and repeated, but the simplification renders it obsolete. In my opinion. What market is free? Who is your consumer? What about ((yet) unforseen?) externalities? We've come up with a lot more sy

All the comments applaud the change and to avoid the unavoidable, but isn't the unavoidable a "normal" path almost everybody takes? When you are young, you have all the options. When you're done studying, you realize you

Adding bike lanes to existing infrastructure may not be as simple as it seams. Then there's culture. Kids in The Netherlands learn to ride bicycles when really small. My son is 5, cycling to and from school. My daughter is 2 years old,
