I think one key point why things are this way for CH, is that they decided to move to Takt scheduling (clock face scheduling) in the 70s. Integrated country-wide scheduling, makes doing those long term planning much easier. (e.g. you know t

Also there can be some really great country specific apps. E.g. in Switzerland there's the free official Swiss Topo app with all the official maps incl. all the trail data. Can easily create/import/export tours.

iirc some companies (google?) had been doing that before section 174 anyway. (which is why it imo isn't super convincing to tie layoffs with section 174 rather than e.g. end of zirp) ok I read it in https://blog.pragmaticeng

That would be nice indeed, but shouldn't prevent us from prioritizing reducing CO2 emissions first.

Sure, if you don't trust anything what's the point. There's a lot of information that relies on anonymous sources and we usually use third party to vet them (otherwise how would they stay anonymous). Without this system we&#x

With clock face scheduling (like in CH and planned for Germany) they very much do since schedules are optimized to align with periodicity. On some Swiss lines it's fairly common to have trains recover their delay at departure (which al

The phrasing for quoting sources is extremely codified, it means the journalists have verified who the sources are (either insider or people with access with insider information).

Yeah embedded software strikes me as one of those areas where rust can really shine (and where the cost of a crash can be high esp. if you run close to bare metal).
