  • I like Nim and many concepts of it with the big point of discussion being that function names get normalized (helloWorld === hello_world).

    But I feel like that Nim is a language without purpose. It’s all nice and cool on paper, but it has no use case where I think “I have to do it in Nim”.

    Go is known for making small, fast startup web apps, Python for making small one time tasks or Data work, Rust low level programming if you like functional programming, PHP if you want yo setup a website as fast as possible.

    But Nim doesn’t have this, it doesn’t have a library that’s better than in all other languages. It’s nice but what for?







  • If we randomly assume they were halfway down (no idea on where they actually were but as a blind guess 50% is a good starting point)

    The wreck was found 500m away from the wreck of the Titanic, the Titan descends in a curve and not straight downwards, gives pretty good indication that they were near the depth of the ocean floor. Combine that with the fact that they descended faster than anticipated and that they lost communication right around the time they were supposed to reach the lowet point, I think they were close to the ocean floor.

    But cautiously saying half is probably better.




  • Was aus seiner Aussage letztendlich folgt ist, dass wir mehr getrennte Trassen brauchen. Da gehe ich voll mit.

    Ja, ich auch. Mir hat letztens jemand erzählt, dass wir in D früher in jede Richtung zwei Schienen hatten, eine für Normalverkehr und eine zum Ausweichen. Das ist eigentlich ganz praktisch wenn z.B. ein Zug Verspätung hat, dass die nachfolgenden nicht betroffen sind, oder für Reparaturen.

    Ebenso sollten Fernverkehrszüge auch eigene Trassen haben.

    Aber das Zugnetz wurde in Deutschland leider an Trassen, Zügen, Bahnhöfen, Personal kaputt gespart.

    Und auch wenn ich eher negative Erfahrungen mit der Bahn habe, fühle ich die Geschäftsführer auch, wenn die kein Geld bekommen und unlösbare Erwartungen haben.
