       @john I’ve been impressed with scholia (https://scholia.toolforge.org) - I believe it’s Python flask plus a JavaScript framework, it might be a good pattern to follow.

       @tiago “ the empirical research on the impact factor indicates no association, or in some cases a negative association, with nearly any quality indicator you can think of.”

       @john the main problem with planes is not their per-mile inefficiency (they’re not bad, and a packed passenger airplane is better than a single-occupancy car) but that it makes it easy for us to travel thousands of miles repeatedly. But trains are much better than planes generally assuming similar occupancy levels.

       @john city subways and suburban commuter rail in my experience are usually quite full; long-haul trains maybe not.

       @john these patterns probably vary country by country, or even by region, maybe depending on the rail network operator’s decisions or government regulation. I guess airlines are allowed to vary their flights day by day depending on demand, while rail schedules are more set. They can still vary train length by demand though.
