I don’t agree with it. There are many capital cities that are in terrible locations for highspeed rail and are would be a diservice to the rest of the country.

Cities like Amsterdam, Berlin, and Viena are just the worst places to reach for most of their respective countries. Say you live in Munich and you want to travel to Amsterdam, you are still stuck on the slow train if you focus on a Berlin-Amsterdam route.

If high speed rail is supposed to be successful it should be about covering geographical distance fast. Or the car and planes are still going to be the prefered option.

Kind of thinking the same thing, I want to learn rust, but have not gotten an excuse to start using it. Maybe dedicating 8-16 hours per 2 weeks could help me learn rust and do something more complex than writing hello world. I have some additional time in a month or so, so might as well try

I picked my regional one (technically also better for latency)

I don’t make the rules 🤷 Maybe easier to prove? The media just doesn’t like getting sued.

The article does say:

The man was reported to have sexually assaulted one of the women

They can’t say it is sexual assault, until the person has been declared guilty in court. So they put it in quotes to indicate that is has been alleged by someone else

This is something I explained to a client of mine. I do see AI as part of the Future in software development, but it won’t replace programming as it is just the most precise way to tell a computer how you want things to work.

I think / hope AI will help get rid of a lot of boilerplate code. Where you’ll have AI driven programming languages that only require you to write business logic and define architectural requirements and AI can handle all the details of how it connects, where to fetch and send the data and to do it efficiently

I setup my own email server, it was an absolute pain to setup, especially since I had no idea about all the little details of sending and receiving email. It was kind of fun to see everything come together

In the beginning I had a ton of email go into spam boxes, especially with gmail. Later I found out that if you don’t add the proper email headers like to: "Name Of Recipient" <email@example.com> it goes straight to the spam folder. (So you always need to provide a name)

I am afraid to touch anything now though, as it is currently very really stable (on a vpn btw)
