Diesel trains built in the last two decades (e.g. class 220/221/222) are already Diesel-electric, meaning the Diesel engine drives a generator which powers an electric motor. Doing it this way is more effective because you can run

The article is about search engine addons (which approximately nobody is using), I don't see how this would relate to search keywords? I don't think those are going away any time soon.

No need, firefox supports custom search engines, but it a) doesn't store them automatically, you have to manually add them and b) doesn't have as nice a UI for them as chrome does. But it works. Why it isn't implemented bette

You can do this in firefox, too, but it's quite hidden and doesn't have a nice UI. Bookmarks can have keywords associated with them in the bookmarks editor, so you can add a "Bing" bookmark with URL " https:/&#

clangd is really good these days (clangd-9), I suggest you give it a try. It's incredibly easy to set up if your distribution packages it. I'm using it with Emacs' lsp-mode, it's great.

Singular "they" isn't even new, it's been used since the 1300s at least: https://www.ahdictionary.com/word/search.html?q=they That said, it used to be rather uncommon in more recent times, which is

You already use "you" as both singular and plural. Historically, "you" used to be the plural form of "ye". Grammatically, singular "you" works just the same as singular "they", so it's

Your landlord demanded those things to make sure you'd be able to pay, they're not legally required (maybe apart from checking that you're using your real name).

I make lots of pizza for fun with some friends at hacker events. We've managed to do ~120 portions (not individual pizzas) an hour with an entry-level pizza oven (2 levels, 60x90cm² area), the kind you see at kebab shops, and the oven

I think the worst of these is calling shoulder bags "bodybag" (because it's worn around the body, or something like that). Fortunately most retailers noticed that the term means something quite different in English and stoppe

There’s a nice chapter on Buffon’s needle problem in “Proofs from THE BOOK”, an Erdős-inspired attempt to collect the most beautiful proofs. You can find a PDF of the entire book easily enough on Google, it’s a good read although I would di

Two years ago or so, I met and spoke to people whose offices were down the hall from his at MIT. Their stories line up perfectly with the accusations against him. Just because you weren't aware of his awfulness doesn't mean it did

"He didn't harass women during the two days I interacted with him, therefore he has never done so" is not as strong a defense as you seem to think.

Poettering explicitly says in his talk that he doesn't want to change how home directories work on servers. I mean, RHEL runs on a lot of servers, and they certainly aren't going to alienate a ton of customers by requiring them

Enterprise-managed laptops need this just as much as my personal machine, they are woefully underserved by current user management.

He starts the talk with something along the lines of: this is what I want for my laptop, not servers. It's explicitly meant for personal machines, not cloud machines. There is no reason why those should have to change, they're se

Replacing something that still works and isn’t all that old with a new, more energy-efficient product rarely yields a net reduction in emissions. That new thing need to be produced, and production is often a major component of lifecycle emi

Safari allows 50k per list , Chrome is planning to move from 30k per extension (!= list) to 150k global max per your links. That's quite a difference. On iOS, some blocks use multiple lists -- AdGuard has six and 1Blocker X has
