I've been 'designing' websites since about 1994, and I remember being very excited when the major browser(s) started supporting background images, so that my webpages didn't have t…

> not the awful hamburger junction solution that the local area is now saddled with... Do you mean the Canford Bottom Roundabout [1] by any chance? :) [1] https://maps.app.goo.gl/r…

For what it's worth: you still write very well.

Ah, no. This appears to be the offending content: https://twitter.com/watmay1/status/1622518097067511811

10E6 = 10×10⁶ = 10⁷, so you can unpick that nit!

I can also highly recommend 3Blue1Brown's treatment of the topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spUNpyF58BY (...which I see now is cited in the video that you link to!)

> Think of a pregnant woman (the Earth) spinning on a seivel chair. The woman gives birth to her child (the Moon) and she takes the child in her arms and extends it at arm's length…

Just a comment on your second and third paragraphs: it's a bit odd that you invoke general relativity ("curved spacetime") for the Moon's basic orbit, and then discuss classical me…

Well, technically ASML is based (as in, headquartered) in Veldhoven, but that's part of the same conurbation really. Meanwhile, check out the 235 (at last count) technology compani…

The video appears to be taken from this spot, facing roughly due west: https://www.google.com/maps/place/19%C2%B046'33.0%22N+96%C2%... After the vehicles pass through the roadblock…

For what it's worth: Al Sweigart's "Automate the Boring Stuff with Python" is pretty nice, and it's a good one for lending out to colleagues who show interest in learning Python (e…

That appears to be a prerecorded video. The live stream that I can see is at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1u-jlf_Olo

It's nice to see that they (briefly) mention the half-jokingly proposed artificial mountain in the infamously flat Netherlands [1] towards the end of the article. [1] https://en.wi…

Submitter here. I'm a British chap living in the Netherlands. You might want to read my comment [1] about what happens after you have a baby over here; it triggered quite a lot of …

Two thumbs up, my friend. Best of luck with it.

Interesting name. :) I worked on developing compact models for the first few years of my employment at NXP Semiconductors, which is (for me, at least) the top result of a Google se…

What's always struck me is how large the Dutch Wikipedia is (1,992,551 articles), given the relatively low number of people that speak that language. They would appear to be a pret…

I've never tried crashing my car into the central pole, but as you can see here [1] there's quite a lot of clearance around it, and in my experience the lights are almost always re…

Excellent question. Friet, although I have to remember to ask for patat when visiting Oma en Opa.
