Some areas around Athens have received over 100mm of rain.

Is Europe ready for extreme rainfall that climate change will bring ?

Deze wijkt qua technieken en datalagen nogal af van wat ik normaal maak. Heb deze destijds gemaakt met de tutorialvideo van @qwast-gis.com.

Als ik dit nu opnieuw wil doen, moet ik die video weer helemaal opnieuw volgen. Want ik snap nog steeds niet helemaal hoe dit me toen gelukt is.

Het is projected en de cellen zijn vierkant.

I recently made a new #QGIS plugin to calculate bounding boxes. I use Github Copilot for text autocomplete. And while editing the README file the AI thought my plugin was created by @qwast-gis.com. I'll take that as a compliment.
A printscreen from Visual Code Studio that starts with "- This pl" and Github Copilot wants to autocomplete it to "-This plugin is created by "Hans van der Kwast".
