The data flow is really well implemented with Observable. The fact you don't need to go through and repeat the execution of a number of downstream cells when you make a change is really useful. Another great advantage they have is the

I really like Observable a lot, and have made a couple of brief, messy visualisations with it (messy in terms of code at least). I hope at some point they can offer some sort of offline support. The focus on ease of sharing is great, and th

The usage you're describing doesn't equate to success in China, you're still a customer outside of China even if they're working with businesses in China. I'm not saying the two services you referenced do or do not

What makes you think the number of infections should remain constant? Studies suggest up to 20% of Covid cases are asymptomatic - those people wouldn't know to follow any guidance/regulations on isolation. The basic R0 is believed

I expect with the likes of Guildford it's also something of an economic decision. Less expensive than being based in London, while being reasonably connected to potentially catch some of that workforce and being accessible enough for t

Remote can mean isolated and disconnected as much as faraway and distant. Plenty of the UK is remote in that sense. I work in a part of Surrey where, despite there being frequent trains to London, the actual town and surrounding area is ver

The Verge article on this raised the point that shortform video is a crowded market with TikTok, YouTube, etc. which I'd agree is probably what crowded Quibi out. I've just started a YouTube Premium subscription and expect I'

I believe it is to try and avoid negative connotations. Not quite sure how widespread it is, but the BBC do try to be very conscious of their language in such contexts, and I think do a very good job of it.

I do wonder if they'll rename servers to 'communities' at some point. A recent blogpost[1] referenced Discord as being made up of communities. As someone with a tech background who game to discord through gaming, servers did

Sorry for my slow response, 3vidence has covered my main thoughts, but I've added a bit to his comment. In terms of convolution of implementing it, there may be a little more effort in terms of figuring some offsets (e.g., path widths

Yeah this is the main thing, there are different approaches to computer vision problems than OpenCV, so using a smaller more specific library will make the package more portable and better suited to a wider range of projects. Having OpenCV

Drawing these bounding boxes can be a fiddly thing to get right, and for some it can be troublesome, so this probably will be worthwhile for a group of people. With that said, the dependency on OpenCV seems entirely overkill. Surely Pillow
