   Interestingly they have two clips for the name each station (e.g. [1]), I guess for use in announcements where the destination appears in the middle of a list ("this train will call at Linlithgow, Polmont, Falkirk High, ...") and

   I expected a website offering to use your microphone to record, invert and cancel background noise via the speakers. Turns out the website is offering prerecorded sounds instead, not really cancelling anything. Still though, surely someone

   No worries, I figured you might have meant that but thought I'd clarify for others reading just in case!

   You don't need separate stations, just enough separate tracks. Berlin Hbf for example has its ICE trains mainly arrive in the basement level, with regional and local trains on physically higher levels (worth seeing for anyone visiting)

   The difference is ultimately money. A while ago (early 90s?) Switzerland voted to spend lots of money on the railway network to make it work the way it does. It was discussed on HN before. The video you linked notes single tickets are expen

   This is why UK politicians particularly on the right have said for a long time that the Eurozone supports a sort of status quo with France and Germany benefitting from selling industrial goods to your so-called "PIGS" (tbh I'

   PrintNC is the next step up from MPCNC. It still needs some 3D printed parts but is mostly locally-sourced steel profile and electronics bought from Alibaba: https://wiki.printnc.info/ . Last time I looked the parts cost cir

    I know this has come up before, but since the gulf in cost is so stark I thought I'd mention it again. In the UK I just signed up to a £20/month VDSL2 broadband service (approx 65 Mbps, FTTC, unmetered), rolling monthly contract,

    You don't actually need Decentraleyes or Privacy Badger now that Firefox has total cookie protection and that uBlock Origin supports their other features (some via lists). Arkenfox has a useful write-up on this: https://gith

    I wonder if you can combine rail sections with different zero-stress temperatures to cancel out across a wider range?

    Good on them. Last year I randomly discovered an ancient email to my old Hotmail address from free website host Tripod, owned at the time by Lycos, that old search engine. As an 11 year old I had a website with them and wanted to dig it out

    This is awesome, but to be honest, since they knew it was temporary and a bit of fun I think they should have made the phone primarily a joke and not just via Easter eggs. Rick roll every number for example. After a day it would get huge me

    Thanks. And what does OP mean by "meta queues"? Clearly I'm completely out of the loop here!

    And oscilloscope manufacturers. You can typically "unlock" more bandwidth with a code after purchasing. The delivered device is capable of sampling at greater bandwidth but the software prevents it above the paid-for bandwidth. I

    Heathrow terminal 5 (almost exclusively BA/OneWorld) is on average the nicest hub terminal I've regularly been to. It's busy but once you've explored you'll know the quiet corners. Buses to the aircraft are rare. Se

    I assume stupidity is to blame for SourceForge's current unpopularity. If they hadn't started bundling spyware with downloads and responded to GitHub's better features, their huge repertoire of legacy projects would have kept
