And lane splitters are paying attention to the road ahead, and are watching to make sure they have enough space, that they have an escape, that there is nothing in the way, and that nobody has a turn signal on or has room to suddenly change

>I’d also like to add that I think lane splitting is wildly dangerous and dread driving in California. Surely motorcyclists die from this every year? So it's a bit contentious, but from what i've seen, it's safe as long as

I'd just caution against doing this in some areas. A member of a group I used to ride with decided to stop riding when someone opened their door to stop him from splitting in PA. He smacked into the door, was physically okay, but ended

Bolting on the newer features as additional packages has a few downsides in my experience: * Increased complexity. So now in order to use request in a modern JS ecosystem, you need to install request, and request-promise-native, which itsel

While I agree that there is room for both (callbacks make sense in some areas, promises/async/await in others). I feel that promise-based async should be the default, since it provides so many additional benefits. >A middle gro

util.promisify won't work on request in most places because they don't use the defacto standards of callbacks (the first argument being an error argument, callback being the last argument, etc...). Funnily enough, i believe it pre

As the post explains, Javascript has changed significantly since request was first created, and that left them with 3 real options: 1. Try to make massive breaking changes to the request module to make it more easy to work with in the curre

It's not an expectation in any sense of the word, but it is a "nice to have" which makes both the owner of the location and owners of electric cars happier. Dedicated parking spots for "green" vehicles are worthles

I don't think so. Tesla is like Apple in a way. They are both the "Brand name" and the "technology" all in one package, and splitting the 2 would lead to each one being significantly less than half their total. Pers

That's fair I guess, I did a cursory search and saw things from Toyota and Nissan in the $16-18k range, and I didn't really search more. But I was also expecting to compare MSRP, but I now realize that it's not really a good
