Die 1,5 Kilometer lange Straße in Neukölln landete im weltweiten Ranking des Stadtmagazins auf dem siebten Platz. Die Straße hätte "seine industrielle Atmosphäre aus dem 19. Jahrhundert gegen klirrende Biergläser unter Weidenbäumen und Radfahrer am Ufer eingetauscht".

Ah, had I waited 10 years, I might not have needed to do all that encoding myself!

Went down to the level of the paragraph to collate 2 🇬🇧 translations alongside their 🇫🇷 source text. When parts weren't translated, I segmented even more!

It took—as most #DH projects—way more time than I anticipated😅

arXiv, a preprint publication for academic research that has become particularly important for AI research, has announced it will no longer accept computer science articles and papers that haven’t been vetted by an academic journal or a conference. Why?

A tide of AI slop.

As DH grows, it’s increasingly important to publish conference papers, but there hasn’t been a clear venue for that.

So I’m thrilled to share this new home for DH proceedings, which will include CHR papers & more.

Thanks to @taylor-arnold.bsky.social for leading this effort!
