And like in the US, population is mostly concentrated in the spots where it's not that extreme, so that's where most people are/would be able to benefit from human-centred urban design.

Possibly even per trip? I'm confident my bicycle trips to the supermarket in the Netherlands is safer than a trip to Walmart in the US by car, but I spend way fewer kilometres doing the same job. That only makes it even safer, but I th

I think Europe is not homogenous enough for this, but in the Netherlands at least, there are plenty of companies that you can't call, email or text, but they'll have some other options: a chatbot, a web form, maybe a Twitter accou

> I never see ads anywhere (and not just on the web: I never watch regular TV (I don't even have a TV), never listen to ads-supported radio stations, etc.) Ads in public places, bus stops, etc. are kinda hard to avoid unfortunately.

I don't think that market is zero-sum, so the question is not about who "won", it's whether any player lost. Despite Twitter being big, RSS is still widely used and, perhaps more importantly, widely supported and thus us

Just to be explicit: it doesn't go through any server, all processing happens on your device. Edit: ah, just saw the clarification. So the content is not sent anywhere to create the summary, but you do visit the original site, just lik

It's a risk, and it would be great if they worked on more sites, but "utterly useless" is too brash in my opinion - there are still a lot of sites that do accept them, and each one is one account fewer that can be linked to y

Yes, but clicking also results in your browser having to hit the page. The concern is doing so accidentally, which is reasonable if it required a hover interaction (but luckily, it doesn't).

Most of our upgrades have been fairly painless. Yes, they're not CI-succeeds Dependabot merges, but usually it's basically running the auto codemod and you're done, though I do always scan through the release notes and migrat

The direction React and Next.js have been moving is to give you very granular control over where your code runs, and when. The previous model was that you simply have code that runs on a server when a request comes in, sends a response to t

I'm not familiar with MAID, but AFAIK I live in the European country with the most liberal euthanasia policy, and hardly anyone here thinks it's gone too far, let alone way too far.
