High speed 1 in the UK Section 2: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Speed_1 Section 2 finished in 2007 (just within your 20 year cutoff!) It links the channel tunnel with London St Pancras. Much of the London part is…
Uranium is a mineral and can be purchased from many places and stored then used as needed. 15 countries mining it currently: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_uranium_p... There are also more countries…
I think the closest US equivalent in this case is chapter 7 bankruptcy. If I've got it right chapter 11 is more a reorganzation and restructuring, while chapter 7 is disposing of the assets to pay off the creditors.…
I think this is the current developer page: https://developer.android.com/topic/google-play-instant/over... Now renamed to Google Play Instant, but still ok for apps (I think?)
Yes definitely agree. Overall the UK grid is probably too dependent on wind energy, with all the variability that involves. Right now gridwatch.org.uk is showing about 13.5GW from wind (40% of demand), but I've seen…
Unfortunately the government (of all stripes) tends to reject predictions it doesn't like: try this one from 20 years ago: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/3034088.stm (it's on this topic of energy)
Do you mean that you had to buy the same book 3 times? (or otherwise copy) That's astonishingly bad.
If it was really transparent maybe... I would think that means that if the number of washing tablets went from 12 to 9, then packaging would display in prominent letters "Same price, now 9 tablets instead of 12"…
We could look at historical laws that did exactly this. Set standard sizes and only allow sales in those size on penalty of prosecution. For an example from the uk, until a few years ago bread could only be sold in 400g…
Also size and population though? Bath, being a major city, has far more residents and visitors than Maerdy, a small rural village. My guess in Maerdy is that the residents probably drive somewhere (Aberdare?) with a…
More likely covid was the issue (assuming you went in 2021?) A lot of unavoidable staff sickness has caused major troubles in manufacturing and delivery of goods. Plus some real stupidity relating to tax and licensing…
I once wrote a software release checklist system with custom values in php which worked quite well, if you have a server to run it on. But I'm not sure thats the best bet for new work today. It might be worth looking at…
I'd say the UK situation has some good, some bad. A lot of the rail replacement currently is due to staff sickness ... Covid has hit a lot of things very badly. Positively, the government has heavily supported rail…
I can't help thinking the usage model you want is more like a router or network appliance than a normal web server. Have you considered running your software on a synology box or similar high end NAS? Not sure it would…
The Wikipedia page has detail on this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dartmoor_line Essentially the line went through the closure procedure and was completely closed to passengers back in the 1970s, however it remained…
For those, such as myself, who were not previously familiar with it: "MirageOS is a library operating system that constructs unikernels for secure, high-performance network applications across a variety of cloud…
I'd probably want it grouped by category with a drill down interface for the specifics. Probably arranged so you can type in a figure at the bottom for monthly expenditure and it would balance out the requirements based…
You need separate costed quotas for each type of activity with a combined total at the bottom. You could also have a setting in the admin panel as to what the system should do: [ ] I want to keep going beyond my quotas…
But we've had disk quotas before that mostly worked? If anything it seems an easier problem than processor time. I recall disk quotas on shared systems at university back in 1998 and I'm sure they existed before that.…
Good point, https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Document_Structure#Secti... wikibooks latex guide suggests \chapter is level 0, which gives "=" (1 equals sign), But then surely the h1 document title should be above…
Perhaps, although personally I prefer latex, because at its best it is somewhat self describing: \chapter{Animals} instead of == Animals or should that be: === Animals I think an xml or html like approach is better:…
Although the open source software is copying this "always connected to the mothership" model as well. I'm thinking specifically of Firefox, but others too.
Apple, for some reason, didn't advertise this change very widely, so it isn't precisely an informed decision. Like so much of the modern security activity, it doesn't seem to be fully thought out, nor was the…
It might also be worth including some or possibly all of the $7,403 which is allocated to Institutional support (in the tables). This page offers a summary of what that classification includes and it includes some…
The NHS isn't really a single body (1), it's perhaps easier to think of it like the US army in terms of structure rather than a single organisation. There is a central organisation that sets overall directions and can…
