If you chose Oxford because of the Oxford English Dictionary, note that it's not regular en-gb, it's en-gb-oxendict. "the OED often favo[u]rs "-ize" (and its derivatives) over "-ise" for words derived from Greek roots, and may also include historical or less common usages."

My dad had childhood shoe shopping helped by xrays on the high street.

How isolated are the paths it could have taken? One major outdated choice ITER took is cold magnets, rather than "warm". Could they have switched this point in an iterative project?

There is at least one on this line (north of Kings Cross) and one on the Northern line (north of Moorgate). It's for district heating or electricity generation.

My theory is that we are asking the wrong people. We love old games because we played them when we were young. We should be asking similarly young people what games they don't want to die. One possible answer is that they have so much choice that they find another and don't have the loyalty from scarcity we did.

Back in the day, if you liked Theme Hospital and wanted more, the nearest game was Theme Park (now we have CorsixTH and OpenRCT2). These days, by way of so many more games, something close enough can be recommended, found, pirated.

The Victoria and Albert museum is about to open a new building in Stratford, which is a public storeroom. https://www.vam.ac.uk/east

> Hell, even Rosetta would likely be more restricted as many of the extensions added in recent months were only added due to pressure from Mac gamers.

What are they?

They haven't yet had their sudden change of heart on the subject.

It's a line in several songs by the rapper Pitbull.

2000 characters seems like it should be on a pastebin, not pasted into an IRC channel. I've shared pastebin links in a discord channel, one shared with matrix. For reference, that content length is three times the OP comment.

That's non-free. Quoting from https://opensource.org/osd

> 6. No Discrimination Against Fields of Endeavor The license must not restrict anyone from making use of the program in a specific field of endeavor. For example, it may not restrict the program from being used in a business, or from being used for genetic research.

You're often not just building under existing things, but through them. We now have a lot under the roads. The Victorians built the subsurface lines of the London Underground with cut and cover, but Oxford is currently suffering overrunning works to lower a road under the station, because of unknown brick arches and utilities. Even the TBMs are building beside existing tunnels and basements.

What projects in developed countries have used cut and cover recently? In trying to find out, I see that HS2 under west London and the Canada line under Vancouver chose tunnels over cut and cover because it was cheaper.

Is it possible to compare this to humans in another way? Could it be said that Waymo avoids 95% of the accidents that we regularly get in, and does have 3% of accidents that we manage to avoid. I think a major hurdle to mainstream acceptance is the errors that robots make, and a real mind doesn't.

CorsixTH - https://github.com/CorsixTH/CorsixTH

A modern platform's clone of the 1997 Bullfrog game Theme Hospital, where you manage a series of hospitals. CorsixTH is mostly feature complete, with additions like player made maps and levels, and some ease of use changes. The game logic and layout is in Lua, the backend is C++. We have some issues marked Good First Issue, and long term plans including multiplayer. The documentation and wiki are good, and there's a Matrix/Discord room. Also an Android port - https://github.com/alanwoolley/CorsixTH-Android

I wrote a bash script to put a colour dot in the mac menu bar to represent the CPU temperature. I barely used it when I was on Intel, and it doesn't work on Apple Silicon. It's now only possible to ask for the thermal pressure, and be told a descriptor, always 'Nominal' in my case. I wrote the change but haven't pushed it.

The Chelsea Physic Gardens say they have a microclimate that supports more tropical plants. I enjoyed the other half of the garden more, where they explain where medicinal plants come from and what they're used for. There's a riverboat pier near there too.

I've bought William Dalrymple's new book The Golden Road for my dad's birthday, which I plan to borrow and read before seeing the new British Museum and Library's exhibitions. I wonder if these will prompt more articles like this.

Jenny Radcliffe's The People Hacker is a similar book, with an adaptation in the works. https://deadline.com/2023/04/people-hacker-jenny-radcliffe-s...

When would the Chrome version be frozen? Once you've completed the UI?

You're not testing what you think you're testing. We can verify an image, but still have problems with the story below the image. I don't think this should be half-solved, it would give false credence to real images used in lies. Or the reverse, you discredit a fake image of Musk you saw yesterday, but tomorrow he does it for real.

You'd need to give political campaigns' keys some trust, for images you expect from them. But what if they start signing images that you wouldn't expect from them, then you have 'verified' fake news.

The suction tool is used to dry the area out and make it easier to see and work. A robot could be taught to see through water, but it still needs a dry environment for some work.

This was achieved before the Uxbridge by-election. Which is pretty good going for a pub [1] built at the same time as the first European settlement in the interior of the continental US [2].

There are many high streets in London that show removing cars, or expanding pavements, improves the high street. I would rather see more effort made to divert cars another way rather than close the high street. Too often that means making a privately owned public space as the prime spot.

I see only front-loaders in Europe, and a mix favouring top-loaders in North America. Could it be that Europe (consumers or the EU) has encouraged efficiency more?

It's a Privately Owned Public Space, there's far too many of these.

Digging a wider tunnel requires a bigger tbm, which adds little to the whole cost. Hs2 put out a paper, though I don’t think it compares sizes. https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/... The NYC example is terrible, because the new part of the tunnel is only short and the whole project costs a lot does not mean each mile of the tunnel costs that much.

I was first asking why they thought small tunnels are better, is that purely on financial grounds? Low cost, low benefit.

What’s your thinking there? The bigger tunnel boring machines needed and the extra dirt excavated are cheap in the bigger picture. The trend is clear within London alone and globally, towards larger tunnels.

Even if you personally don't use GMail, a considerable amount of personal emails have at least one participant who uses it. Every social person who uses email has some of their communication read by Google. People who like hyperbole will phrase that as all of their communication is data mined and therefore controlled.

In Plex I occasionally have to force disable Direct Play (which I think means it transcodes) even though it’s a 264 from the same source as everything else. I’ll try Kodi for the one thing I didn’t manage to get working.
