Behold! What took me like 7 hours to make with gnuplot, a distance time graph for passenger service on a current Indian Railways line with a bunch of history, it be single tracked, the red lines are infill stations with passing loops (most of the data for this was collected by mapping the line in OSM and using schedules online)a EMU train taking 2+ hours to cover a stop and go 120 kilometers seems unreasonable, also you can see all the padding at the ends of each schedule lol

X, Y Plot Labelled "Gwalior Birpur Regional Rail", Distance on the Y axis, ranging from 0 to 120, with the X axis labeling time in minutes, parallel lines in red displaying stations with passing loops, and points labelling stations where the train stops for passengers

@skinnylatte Something I find cute for some reason on older maps especially since I like staring at them is the older transliterations of the names, Poona for example, is always intriguing, ive more recently come across "Spiri" for now "Shivpuri", "Soapur" for now "Shoepur"

For Pune or Poona specifically its intriguing neither can figure out the "neda" sound and how to transliterate that

fascinating how humans have invented the most energy and space efficient way of transportation (trains) and decided to remove as many funds as possible to putting that into the most egoistic and less efficient way of transportation (cars)

Avoid using your hand as a tool. Almost always prefer to use your hand to *manipulate* an appropriate tool. You're going to need your hand for other things.

@aasthas Sufism is especially tied more to its cultural and religious rights, and it can be insensitive i'd argue to have it displayed as 'meal entertainment', I do not know the context there, but certainly, an event hosting cultures is great! but it needs to be carry the caveat of what it is displaying, and within what context, something like this can cut both ways, being an honour, or can be a exhibitionistic display even?

disaster2life disaster2life
@aasthas I wouldn't say I am the person to defend culture and tradition, especially Sufi tradition, something I grew up only distantly with, but at least of my experience attending conference/related stuff social festivals in a similar vain, Being happy there _is_ representation is something, but doesn't mean you cannot / should not be critical of it? There is always room for improvement in 'showcasing' different traditions (continued)

I am so damn sleepy and sick, can't fall asleep and I sit here waiting for OSRD to compile some more bullshit because modern projects need to be written in 7 different languages, all while I read the specification for an Indian Railways multiple unit so I can do my hobby project of running a simulation of whether a local suburban railway / regional rail system in my home city is possible;

I need to get better hobbies

For now, I will no longer be uploading to the NEW queue.

And yes, I will now go outside and do something nice instead of trying to argue on mailing lists about use in . Maybe do the same. The weather is great outside. :)

The French courts yesterday handed down an unfavorable ruling against Quad9 in a major case that undermines the transparency and stability of the internet. As a result, Quad9 will no longer be able to offer its free cyberprotection service to users located in France effective November 24.

the most important part of history is when a mouse fell out of a light fixture and got added to the count of members present at a Technical Committee meeting (9 Nov 2016)
