A map of Europe titled “High-speed rail plan” showing future high-speed train connections and travel times. Green lines represent future new connections, and magenta lines represent future train travel times. Major cities are marked with circles and connected by these lines. Examples of travel times include: Lisbon–Madrid (3h), Paris–Brussels (1h15), Paris–Rome (6h), Berlin–Warsaw (4h15), Berlin–Prague (2h30), Berlin–Vienna (4h30), Berlin–Budapest (6h15), Berlin–Stockholm (4h), Riga–Tallinn (1h45), Vilnius–Riga (2h), Sofia–Athens (6h). The map includes the EC logo in the bottom right corner.

We’re launching a bold plan to make high-speed rail the fastest, more sustainable way to travel across Europe by 2040.

It’s a concrete timeline to remove bottlenecks, unlock investment, and harmonise rail systems ⬇️

Ukraine is Europe!
We stand by Ukraine.

We will step up our support to Ukraine so that they can continue to fight back the agressor.

Today, it became clear that the free world needs a new leader. It’s up to us, Europeans, to take this challenge.

Apple Lawyers: "are we sure it's OK to train our LLM on this code? The license says 'attribution required'…"

Apple Engineers: "no problem:"

Now we’re all Forked! Forked is a new Swift framework for working with shared data, on device, and across networks.

I've spent the 6 months working on a new approach to shared data in Swift: Forked.

Main features:
- Git-like branching and merging for Swift structs
- Advanced merge algorithms (CRDTs)
- Macros to make structs mergeable
- Sync structs via CloudKit with <10 LOCs

For shapes there’s short hand static functions. So instead of RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius:) it’s rect(cornerRadius:). I find it prettier.
