Part of me wants to put this into a homework assignment for my engineering students, but another part of me doesn't want to die by being lynched by a mob.
There is no such thing as spoken Swiss Standard German. It only exists in written form, and is basically regular high german with a few spelling differences (most notably we write ss instead of that redundant contraption the germans use to denote the same thing that makes typing a horrible experience). It has no more or less in common with swiss german than... well... actual german.
If you'd listen to something like a swiss news anchor instead, what you hear is really just high german, maybe with the suggestion of an accent, but then that's hardly any different from other german news anchors that have a background in an "unfortunate" dialect. Never mind our politicians though, some of them are famous for the most horrible accents (at least the ones with german mother tongue. The italian and the french speakers obviously sound quite different).
In other words, what you heared was just a Swiss speaking German with an accent
Yes. We call it german! Trouble is, it has no official pronounciation guidelines...
It is indeed the school language, not only written but also spoken, though it isn't that long that school is in german since first grade. Back in my days school was still in swiss german. But nowadays, english already starts in third grade and french... not sure when that starts now. Used to be french in 6th and english in 8th, with italian voluntary from 6th (as well as latin and greek voluntary from 8th, I think...?) but I'm not sure how it is nowadays. (also, we sometimes joke that turkish and albanian start in Kindergarten, since it can at rare times happen that kids with german mother tongue are a minority in the class).

Well, at least there seem to be relatively simple approximations that should be good enough for the use case.
Those times when you completely fail to realise the complexity in a coding problem in advance...
I just wanted to solve a layout problem that I figured should be manageable, broke my brain while actually thinking about it, went googling and found out that apparently it's called a "multiway partition problem" and there's scientific papers being written about it... ?
You're going to need a LOT of struts.
I don't. That one was really, really disturbing (in fact, I believe it actually disappeared before the forum switch). The lit fart emoji, on the other hand...
Just the buggyness of the prototype is manageable most of the time, but the lack of proper integration into the wider ecosystem as well as deployment and monitoring infrastructure is what really starts eating into your time...
