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 of thousand yours old. Than you're just an idiot.

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 slope I would not like to see the bottom of.

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 block something because you don't get what you want. A democracy is not a kindergarten.

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 available (I know the Dutch National Archives do). You can train the model and/or HTR the data with software like Transcribus or Kraken (open source).

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 to be smart and change their lifestyle, but I'm afraid it's too much to ask. And I'm also afraid the solution lies with Big Government. Bans on gasoline cars, only allow disposable dishwasher detergent, subsidize train travel, speed up hydrogen powered air travel, etc, etc. It won't be fun, but it will be necessary. I believe it will happen. Hopefully we're not too sloooow to vote the right people in office

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 lot of others it is not.

This edition has some nice, creative solutions to hard information presentation problems.

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.

Edit: I misunderstood

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 disappointed.
