I can't edit my post now, but to be clear I was talking about kinetic energy. I would have thought momentum is not a very useful thing to talk about in a case like this where there was some pretty obvious transformation of energy into

Hm. I'm no physicist but I think your math is off. Remember it's velocity squared. Your car going that fast is has more than a kiloton of TNT or approaching 5 terajoules of energy... that can't be right. For a 2 tonne car, my

I don't disagree. I agree it's worth the extra effort up front if you're expecting the code base to last. And the exponential complexity you mentioned, well, that's basically why I left Rails. It can be designed well..

I'd agree, for 95% of projects. If you are serving web pages, or implementing something that doesn't have a lot of server side work in between requests, then sure, pick Rails. But if you do have something active running on the ser

OK, I admit my experience on french trains is pretty dated. But I was thinking more of the TGVs, etc, and the ICE in DE. It's not just the metros. If it were, Singapore or a Chinese city would probably top the list.
