It's a feature of X (so works in any app running in X, not just FF and your terminal emulator). Wayland changed clipboard behaviour (along with many other things) and decided the selection clipboard was too large a security hole to kee

US treasuries (bonds, notes and bills) are mostly considered as good as cash. They're used heavily in the international banking system (for payments, and as loan collateral themselves). They're also held to maturity by large insti

> “Closed group” prohibition lifted This is great: I've wanted a personal extension for a while (roughly to replace my userscripts but with more power and better sync) but was put off by it having to be public or manually installed.

This is cool! The simulator was useful for understanding what was going on, I hadn't realised until I watched a few that the roons can push marbles out in between squares.

I don't see planning mentioned much in the article or comments. The Town and Country Planning act is a large cause of high development costs in the UK. Roads, rail, public works, nuclear power stations, onshore renewables and above all

This feels similar to heat pumps being >100% efficient though? Perhaps a less misleading headline would be 'Very low-power LEDs also convert heat to light'

Ukraine's drones are already partly automated because of the jamming environment: they can visually lock the drone onto a target from up to 10km away.[0][1] They're also using drones that trail a fibre optic over several kilometre

Well, the chargers won't be pulling 1MW continuously, so you can smooth this out by installing batteries with the chargers. The grid demand becomes a more constant trickle into the batteries co-located with the charger

This was a compelling idea, so I looked it up. Unfortunately it doesn't appear to be true: https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/253034146

I've used my Kinesis Advantage 2 for years and am inseparable. I'd like to swap to the Kinesis 360 but my current keyboard is just fine and it feels like a small upgrade

What's your problem with UEFI? If your OEM wanted to install malicious firmware they can do that in BIOS no?

Systemd timer units are usually two: one for the service you want to run, one for the timer file. I think you're confusing systemd timer units with Cronie[0], a crond implementation that I think predates systemd? It's possible the

If you're already using systemd, you can use its built-in credentials manager[0] which uses a combination of an on-disk key and the TPM2 to encrypt secrets at rest. Probably annoying if you have more than one machine though [0]: https

I just don't think agile is designed for fixed-anything. Every project has unknowns: you can either spend effort to de-risk the project and increase your confidence in the time/cost estimates, then sell the job (ie waterfall/

I'm not a biologist, but I'm guessing that having the concentrations of two antibiotics peak at the same time etc is much much trickier than having one molecule with two mechanisms of effect. Thus in actual (not perfect) use you e

I think it's not correct to say that void is a monotype in C++, because the compiler won't allow you to assign the result of a function marked void to a variable, and you cannot declare a variable of type void. I'd accept tha

Void is different from this type though, as a variable of type void can't be occupied. In ML and friends monostate is called unit (and gets used a lot because void returns aren't allowed by the languages). Some have empty types to

I strongly suspect the chances of Orion-style propulsion happening are close to zero. I think we're much more likely to see fission engines (where the heat from a conventional fission reactor is used to superheat water, which then goes

The strength of the body of the rocket comes from some level of pressurisation – much like a drinks can. I suspect that if the tank got holed the ship wouldn't have held up during the flip

This is such a good book, and it was very accessible as someone with little chemistry education.

Is that explained by capacitance? I'm sure the capacitance of your finger through paint is pretty low but capacitors allow AC to pass

London's congestion charge is £15 (about $18) and has largely been a success. I suspect there's a difference in PPP though, so the Manhattan charge is potentially less impactful

I agree they shifted to avoid the reporting requirement but I don't believe they did that cynically to manipulate prices, mainly because it's unclear to me that anyone has suggested a possible exit from their positions that made t
