If you're counting HSTs then everything on the east coast, plus great Eastern main line, the sleepers, East Midlands HSTs, Chilterns trains, 4 xc sets, the new transpennine sets that are being built, a few Cumbrian coast services, and

Absolutely agree that it's a horrible IDE. Java 9 has better HiDPI support in Linux though, so it may get a little better in the future

If the shortener is tied to a site than why is that risk any greater than the risk of the site itself being abandoned?

The only thing that really bothers me personally about shorteners is not knowing where I'm going to end up, and not being able to identify articles I've read before. A shortener with a dedicated domain and user-chosen ids should c

What would generally happen if you tried that in a place that stated they didn't accept tips in the UK would probably be that you'd be smiled at, your money would go in a charity tin and the server would make a mental note to serv

The suggestion from the paper (and indeed the body of the article) is that Celecoxib is safer than was being assumed, and very much not that Ibuprofen is more dangerous than was being assumed. In that sense it's a good news article wit

A more accurate description would probably be "pretending to monetize surplus capacity while actually enabling misallocation of scarce resources"

Have Vivarail managed to find any customers yet? From an engineering point of view what they knocked together looked quite good, but for the UK market right now it's just a disaster. You can't spend billions upgrading London train

Ubuntu nags you to do it so it can run 3rd party drivers. It's never really explained what the drivers were and I haven't noticed any difference with it disabled or not

I've never understood this. How do you turn a skateboard into a car without starting again completely? Seems like instead of building one thing in considered stages you've built four things and resolutely refused to plan any of th

Sadly the current proposal seems to be to extend PATH to the same station so you still have to take the infuriatingly terrible monorail. Honestly they'd probably be better off spending some money running the monorail straight over the

They are mainly regulated because they naturally form into monopolies, just like the large internet services.

The picture you link to is probably exactly what the original author had in mind. It has mostly wooden bodywork and a metal subframe which in the event of a collision is given to riding up onto the carriage in front and killing everybody. T

This seems like a misunderstanding of the tech. Service workers can really only fire up when they get a push notification, which you have to explicitly opt into, or when the page is running in the browser. The processing allowed is tightly

backdrop-filter tends to go in my not-very-nice-to-have bucket. It's certainly something you can live fairly comfortably without. Service workers are more of an issue - realistically if you want to build a serious web-app for iPhone ri

A lot of the issues here are with mobile Safari. I agree it completely sucks just due to how behind Safari are with ES6. On the upside the work is complete to fix this in dev releases, so there's a very good chance that we're 3 mo

while this clearly does happen, urban residential streets in the UK are usually much narrower and invariably reduced to a single lane by parked cars. They are also less often in a grid pattern which supports rat-runs, and most problem rat-r

The Wikipedia article you quote states that as the possible earn-out over a 15 year period rather than the 5 year period you suggest. Overall collection costs as quoted in those documents are roughly 2.7%, which isn't wildly off what y

I recall an 8 year stretch during that period when the Republican party held the presidency, and longer periods when they have controlled the house. It doesn't seem to be an especially high priority for them.

The BBC makes a substantial proportion of their revenue, and therefore covers a large percentage of the cost of production, from international sales. This means that rather than it all being paid for and ready to give away you'd see at

It's what pre-verbal toddlers tend to call their male parent in the UK. They'd often stop at just dada, but everybody knows 4 character passwords are insecure
