If you are talking about the stations at Lyon Exupery or Disney: what I really like about the SNCF is that they offer you the choice. There definitely are trains that go through the center of Lyon (Part Dieu) if you want, but if you want to

Indonesia's HSR stations are so far out of Jakarta/Bandung, the trips there and back are almost certainly going to be the majority of your trip. People complained about Euston not linking up well, imagine if you'd have to fir

The book club is expanding: the horror! People should not sign up for book club, and it should be forbidden I tell you! I forbade my direct neighbors to do so! The football club is so much better! In fact, I'm gonna make you a member o

Having 6 levels of trust (or was it 7?) must qualify as the worst UX decision of all time. People barely keep their contact lists up to date (in fact, nobody), let alone categorise them. I had high hopes for Autocrypt, which solves much of

However, the Tk install that Macos ships with is so broken there's even a warning about it on the Tcl website (or was it the Python website, in case you try to use Tkinter on system Python). Invisible text, invisible buttons, Apple&#x2

Maybe it works, because through the app they are clable to collect much more data about you? I'll never let companies like Ryanair execute code on my devices. I don't care how well it works.

I don't live anywhere near the Erie Canal (but in the NL), and when she was still around my grandmother once told me of a journey by horse drawn barge. I suddenly understood how much change she had seen in her life!

But you still need an iPhone somewhere right? Can't just use the watch on its own? I did think about this, but battery life is pretty bad if you actually use the watch throughout the day and I now need a whole train of devices instead

20 years ago I was very resistant to buying any mobile phone because I was waiting for an in ear piece that would do the whole job, and let you dial by voice. It seemed just around to corner, and logical, because who would want to carry a p

HR, outreach and/or recruitment departments organise those sorts of things and you may just be selected because you are photogenic. Also, serious scientists are not above self promotion; it's arguably their most important skill.

Flet doesn't seem to have a Treeview. I find that actually few cross platform GUI toolkits do. Qt, Swing, Wx, but the trendy ones?

Well, they're not that kind of knockoffs. They are fully legal (some are EU based), and one of those companies even have the Star Trek license, which is great. Really, take a look around, it isn't like that at all.
