There are a couple of places in the Netherlands with congested bike lanes, which is a great problem to have. It's crazy to imagine all those people in individual cars; we'd have reached congestion so much sooner. (Note that this i

That's interesting - the main Dutch train company provides dirt cheap bike rentals for the same reason. (For arrivals only; people can use their own bikes to get to the station.)

Oof, that sucks. Glad that delivery driver wasn't in a car though! Could've ended much worse.

I don't think you can infer that people were using their preferred method just from the fact that they were using it - after all, the status quo was also the result of policy. > IMO what they should be keeping a careful eye on and

Yeah vertical tabs with tab groups have replaced Sidebery's hierarchy and panels for me. Mostly because it feels slightly smoother and more performant as a built-in feature.

If your source for "Dutch levels of weirdness" is just that article, then keep in mind that the VVD being "in power" meant that they were one of the parties in the government coalition. They have had to compromise with o

That's basically the opposite of /s - "I know it's hard to tell whether something is sarcasm or not through text, so I want to emphasise that I am not". Of course, people will inevitably use it sarcastically.

There are a couple of "red flag" quips that if I hear them coming out of my mouth (or feel the urge to do so), I have to do a quick double take and reconsider my stance. "Everything old is new again" is one of them — usu

One downside (that may be a very manageable one) is limited device support (which enables all that).

There are probably more reasons for that, but if it's the only thing that allows me to get somewhere, of course I'd love it.

I do enjoy the idea of making election days days off, days to celebrate. But yes, it usually takes me about five minutes to vote in the Netherlands, so I don't really need the day off.
