Just dig a canal along the route you want, and use horses to pull the boat along it. See the other comments about the trekschuiten in the Netherlands.

The site seems to be under heavy load, so I couldn't see it all. But it seems this map only contains city networks, and not regional networks. The regional bus networks in France are really quite weak, infrequent and don't connect well, even with the now larger régions.

Oh, so you are a troll.

That is not a common, nor a useful definition.

With the recent abolition of the leap second, this is as good a time as any.

Thanks, I had actually no idea there was a book.

Yes, land value tax has been advocated by many, but has any country implemented this and made it their main (or at least a major) source of tax income? Why not?

It's still interesting that this one comes out on top and not another one.

It's a quote from a 1999 film: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fight_Club

Now you're conflating rodent chewing and other degradation. That just increases my suspicion that there's confirmation bias going on.

I hope it will though (kill all use of plastic).

Misleading title, and the article takes until the third paragraph to mention it was a flying drone evacuation. Without that specification, this would have merited a (2023) in the title (the year is a rough guess).

It looks like both the climate and biodiversity will be a lot worse than now (with appropriate great migrations). Not sure what is able to compensate for that. Although indeed humans appear able to adjust to any kind of environment.

Well, they might use zero Google accounts. There is no real difference between one or multiple accounts, security-wise, unless you are very diligent about using different VPNs and such.

Of course they do, I never expected anything else. That's why I never gave it to them for any of my accounts with them (that I barely use anyway).

It's early modern Dutch. Old Dutch is much harder to understand.

Also, more like "Clearly Lighting Mirror of the Art of Painting". Although "Paints" is also a proper translation, less common but indeed probably more appropriate for this publication.

Quite readable, apart from the very old-style handwriting.

As far as I know, printed maps at that time were coloured in by hand, so no, it wouldn't.

Yes, earned my living with that for most of my career. Would do again tomorrow.

It's quite close to my own style. Apparently I'm Claude.

There was also an, as far as is known, unrelated cyberattack on Dutch supermarket chain AH, which has had to suspend activity at some of its distribution centres.

Fair enough, too many western countries including my government keep supporting countries perpetrating war crimes/genocide (often ignoring popular sentiment btw).

And luckily we have journalism prizes as well, often for people showing the ugly reality.

It is, like many things, how much meaning you attach to it yourself. Apparently Donald T. thinks it's very important, he makes a lot of fuss about it.

Anyway, the NPP is one of the things that tries to push humanity on a broad scale in a better direction, and I'm grateful for that. It is important to at least speak out about injustice, and to celebrate those who do so, otherwise those injustices are never going to be fixed (I'm not even talking about punishing, although that should be done).

Using 10 integers was actually a simplification to explain what you're talking about here.

If the basic available function was rand_1_to_10(), modulo-ing its result by 3 would clearly make one result more probable than the others. The same happens with random_u64(); even though the difference is smaller, it can still be significant.

Really only wires, or is there still a (tiny) chip on there somewhere?

While it can indeed be helpful as an indication, cost often doesn't factor in externalities such as pollution during production, and recycling after use. Paper has much fewer problems in those areas.

Putting a chip on everything sounds wasteful and worse for the environment than a printed piece of paper. Not the right direction to go in.

Apart from entrance fees and relying on volunteers, the Home Computer Museum will repair your old home computer for money. If they have a lot of the same type of computer, they also sell them, as well as old monitors and other devices.

There is now also the Nationaal Videogame Museum in Zoetermeer.

The "fix everything" button should link to a Linux installer.

It is definitely being considered from the European side as well. Currently there's too much dependency, but this is being worked on, and not just because America wants us to contribute more to NATO.
