They have a search tag for it, although it's also used for articles about investigative journalism so you have to scroll a few pages. If you just want examples, the articles about various journalism awards often list topics from that y

It was originally 26 bit (running on 32 bit processors but only 26 bits used for addressing RAM? Something like that...) At some point was updated to 32 bit, you can run it on a Raspberry Pi.

The USA pushes its culture in movies etc. American school buses are sometimes featured. The only other school transport I've seen in a film is the Hogwarts Express.

6-ish hours of use isn't that much, compared to 15 or more for a normal city bus.

In most other countries, the accessibility and features is the other way around: the normal city bus can serve as a school bus if required. That also means the children don't need to clamber up steps etc. Though it's a long time s

Lots of large files, I think most would have been over 50MB. There was a folder of smaller files to move, around a million files each less than 100kB. That took longer, but not long enough that I bothered to try and speed it up.

I used rclone to migrate about 2PB of data between datacentres last year. There were some ways to make it go a bit faster, found by reading the rclone manual, but otherwise no surprises. I wasn't sure what the maximum transfer speed co

That's unfortunate. We generally assume pretty much all of the Americans we meet in Europe vote Democrat, with the theory that Republicans can't find Europe on a map and wouldn't want to go there if they could. It's pres

In Copenhagen (Denmark) we have them in every apartment building. There's a bin for batteries, and a cupboard for other hazardous waste. I'm not sure if every house has one, or if they're just in a few places along streets wi

This Global Anti-Scam Alliance website [1] says Americans, Danes and Swiss have the highest average scam amount, at $3520, $3067 and $2980. But it also says Pakistan lost 4.2% of GDP to scams, vs 0.2% for Italy, Netherlands and France. It l

I knew that, and know most of the colours, but it's only now that I realise plugs on VGA cables are blue to match, plugs on DVI cables are white to match, and even my cheap USB-to-serial adapter has a teal RS232 plug.

A friend who works in banking said their use of PS/2 inputs are a security measure. They can disable USB support, but still have keyboards and mice.

Apparently even the first generation Oyster cards should work [1] so at some point I was also misinformed. On Trip Advisor some people say cards can become deactivated if not used for years, but staff in a ticket office can reactivate them.

Since it became possible to deposit a cheque by photographing it from a banking app, there are also fewer surprises from the other side: the busy plumber might not find time to drive to the bank during opening hours, but will pay in any che

Official statistics are here: https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php... Imports from Russia dropped from just over €60bn in 2022 to around €10bn in 2023, but decreased very little since then.

You can buy Oyster cards at many newsagents, and top them up there too. There will probably be CCTV, but privately owned by the shop.

To make the paste useful, various artificial additives are used so it sticks together, has a suitable texture and so on.

I'll accept many British people (including my mother) fail to season their food, and overcook things. But, the quality of the raw food is comparable to elsewhere in Northern Europe, and low-processed foods like cheese, canned tomatoes,

From a quick search, you might need a local to book it, i.e. register the journey with the state apparatus. (This is a city where buying a simple 40¢ metro ticket requires showing identification.)
