My main problem with autotools has never been m4 but the fact that they don't provide a good experience on Windows. Cygwin is not something you want to depend on due to performance, and while MSYS has made great strides, as of 2024 it&

An associate editor of a prestigious software engineering journal rejected our paper, because they wouldn’t overrule a single bogus review.

Back in the day, there were a lot of great widgets for Delphi and a lot of small companies selling commercial widgets. That ecosystem made Delphi (and to some extent, C++ Builder), extremely popular. Most of those vendors moves to .NET (usu

Most of the non-high speed routes are gone indeed. There's 1 non-high speed per day, while there are 8-10 high-speed (which are a lot more expensive).

This is true. Also, high-speed trains are a lot (2x, 3x or more) more expensive than the traditional trains were, for a very small time savings (15-20%) in many cases, which means a lot of people cannot afford to travel by train anymore. So

My bet: they want to restructure and sell the company. Selling something you don't fully own is tough so they'd rather control 100% of it and then sell it, even at a loss.
