I can see how this would work on a technical level but what's the intended use case?

Sad but true. Anyone wanting to learn more about how dysfunctional the UK's justice system is after years of underfunding should read Secret Barrister[1]. For comfortable technology folks who seldom brush with the law it's eye-o

What's the significance of this? The most recent advisory listed is almost a year old.

Holy crap, thanks for sharing this. It's the first time a conversational AI has impressed me. I can just about find the edges (short memory, relentlessly positive) but in the space of an hour it's given reasonably good advice on

Slightly offtopic but anyone with a dark sense of humour would do well to check out Chris Morris's stuff - I get a feeling most younger Brits haven't heard of it. Day Today and Brass Eye, both still funny, are wonderful time caps

Amazon has had a print-on-demand service [1] for a while so the real question is whether major publishers have been signing deals to use it. Maybe from their perspective it's worthwhile for older books, to avoid maintaining lots of sl

I wouldn't say so. The story needs this context to make sense and outside a war, where else would one need to rebuild large bridges under fire. As a technical achievement it certainly is something to be proud of.

Minidisc lover here - I bought my first MZ-R50 in 1998 and a quarter of a century later I still occasionally use it. With secondhand players getting expensive now what are the odds of somebody bringing out a new one? I'd pay good mone

Sure, I'm not hating on Apple - it's a perfectly reasonable thing for them to do. But I'd question how much of global cobalt production was ever going into macbooks/iphones rather than electric cars, lawnmowers, hoovers

Well, hmm - is it? I'd naively imagine cobalt content is proportional to battery size, and while Apple sells a lot of devices they aren't large energy-hungry ones. Surely far more of the world's battery production (by watt-h

In the context of a long-lived build server it could permanently compromise the machine, allowing an attacker to modify any other package you publish from there and maintain that access even after Rust has been fixed.

Given the amounts of energy involved and (terrible) thermal efficiency of steam traction it would be impractical. You could short the 25kV overhead wires on an electrified route straight to the boiler and I doubt even that would make suffi

That's absolutely right but boilers aren't the only thing to wear out. With so many moving metal parts, despite an automated lubrication system delivering oil to most of the surfaces even the best designs of steam loco will shake

It's very atmospheric, an absolute joy. But the best part has to be turning up at Victoria in the middle of the evening rush in an 80 year old steam train. The looks on people's faces alone are worth the price :)

Britain has a huge rail preservation community and a lot of their restored trains, many steam, make it out onto the main line. If you'd like to catch a glimpse of one or even book a seat on it, check out the calendar at http:/&#x
