Europe@feddit.org•Freight trains to carry 800,000 tonnes of limestone for Rail Baltica buildEnglish
1·8 days agoBased on 100 to 120 ton capacity, 15 to 18 wagons per train seems short.
In 2001 BHP created a 682 wagon train carrying 82,000 tons of iron ore.

Amateur Radio@lemmy.radio•Investigation on my Yaesu FT-2900R's Intermittent Loud Static Noise
2·8 days agoThat’s quite the investigation.
If I’m understanding your description correctly, you appear to have found a bug in the design, but have you confirmed that the diagram and the actual circuit board are identical?

Canada@lemmy.ca•Canadian airline WestJet agrees to settle flight attendants’ sexual harassment class action
6·8 days agoWow … that’s extremely disturbing and the fact that the airline dragged this out for 18 years and continues to operate tells you exactly what you need to know.
Looks to me that it’s high time for the passengers to seek alternative airlines to fly on.
In a word … Disgraceful.

9·9 days agoThat headline right there is why Assumed Intelligence is being pushed so hard down our throats.
It will work … right until the techbros start charging actual cost for their “service”, at which point we’ll discover that we can in fact crash the global economy.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Should I be using a VPN on my phone to protect my identity and security while emailing and online banking?
9·9 days agoThat depends on whom you trust, the ISP or the VPN.
For example, if you’re using your local coffee shop Wi-Fi, your ISP is the coffee shop, so you need to ask yourself, do you trust them, and everyone else on that network, more or less than the VPN?

Programming@programming.dev•[Solved] Any opensource, themed CV generators out there?
1·9 days agoMarkdown and HTML are both examples of markup languages but that doesn’t mean that the words are interchangeable.
It is not possible under any circumstance to represent all that HTML supports within markdown.

Programming@programming.dev•[Solved] Any opensource, themed CV generators out there?
4·10 days agoGiven that HTML supports significantly more formatting than markdown, it’s completely unsurprising that any conversion is imperfect, this is not a flaw in pandoc, it’s simply not possible.
I’ll also point out that I was suggesting that OP starts with markdown and converts that to a required output format using pandoc. The barrier to entry is significantly less than using LaTeX for example.

Opensource@programming.dev•Who Should Pay For Source Code Availability?
1·11 days agoThat’s interesting. It does make me wonder … how does the Go community deal with malicious actors who “tweak” their “vendored” copy of a library, or am I missing something?






If you think YouTube is paying for it, you’re not running a channel of your own at something like 0.001 per view.
