No, no one at the highest policy/government levels is doing anything about that. It would require treating drug addiction as a health care issue, with a plan to solve the underlying root causes, support and care for the affected and su

If you’re referring to Ferrocene with the certified Rust fork, then I’d like to make the minor correction that we don’t consider Ferrocene a true fork, but rather a downstream distribution of the Rust projects compiler. There are very littl

The experience was okay, I would take it again. We went all the way from the start in Milano to Messina. The train left Milano on time and pretty much remained on time except for a minor delay in Rome (15 minutes). We had a 3 person sleeper

Yes, I have. As I wrote in the sibling comments the last time just a week ago, the actual train that’s being discussed here. I’ll be again on Friday, for the return. I’ve taken multiple other night train connections before and in my experie

Nobody is making anything harder on purpose. You can take a plane. But for a lot of European distances, night trains are perfectly good. I would love if they’d resurrect the night train that went to my parents place - I would board it on Fr

The time you spend on a night trains is spent sleeping. They deliberately don’t run full pace - no one wants to arrive at 5 in the morning. So they slow-roll on a long stretch to make arrival times reasonable. Very often you can make an ear

We just took the train to get from Berlin to Sicily for our holiday and will take it back on Sunday. There’s no one forcing you to take the train - there’s plenty of airports around here. But night trains are - at least for some - a great w

For me it offers 15000 plus transport to the dealership for the C3, but there’s plenty of other cars for less money on the list. Also: German prices, German taxes - the pricing is likely entirely different elsewhere.

Plenty: https://www.meinauto.de/lp-neuwagen-unter-15000-euro Depends on where you live, obviously, but I used to own a C3 (on the list) and it was a perfectly usable car.

Yes, that’s what they do. But I still fail to grasp how that helps them - they still look pretty bad. Worse, actually - if you want to frame Andre as the bad actor, then my next question is “You knew that a bad actor had previous access, wh

I don't even understand why RubyCentral included the proposal to use the log data in the post about a security incident. Whatever we may think of the proposal, the only purpose of including it in this place is to smear Andre. The incid

Concrete is not a good material to build ships. As a ship moves it goes over waves and is subject to forces that want to bend the hull. Steel flexes slightly, but concrete does not not. It becomes brittle over time and the ship breaks apart

If you read the guidelines, there’s quite a bit about being polite and not inciting flame wars, not only off topic items. It regularly happens that posts or even users get removed for that reason. There are platforms that have much less str

The statistics on this are much less clear than Tesla would like us to believe. There's a lot of confounding factors, among them the fact that the autonomous driver can decide to hand over things to a human the moment things get hairy.
