Shockingly good article — correct identification of the root cause of performance issues being excessive dynamism and ranking of the solutions based on the value/effort ratio. Excellent taste. Will keep this in my back pocket as a quic

> And that is sad, as third party libraries should never perform better than standard library. It's quite literally the opposite. The purpose of a stdlib is standardization, stability, and broad usefulness, not extreme performance.

Correct. Alas, we've designed our society around the expectation of everyone always getting everywhere via driving. And once you've driven to work, you probably don't have any other real option than to drive back.

It's utterly fascinating you wrote that and yet could not make the right conclusion. "In a small town, which is 12x6 miles judging by google maps yet has 590 miles of bike paths." + "not all, as the author of the video h

Calling everything but cars exclusionary is mildly hilarious. First of all, you're simply forgetting about public transport. That's needed too and pretty much covers all your concerns. However... 1. The disabled? How many of tho

No worries, it's already happening and your resistance to the status quo changing is expected and accounted for. Try to bike to work sometime — it's good for the soul. And your health of course.

Removing car capacity by 50% and adding 1000% bike capacity at 1% of the cost is good, actually. It's not really 1000% of course, it's infinity% — the average cyclist is not capable of cycling on the roadway, so a bike lane li

What attitude do you expect from marginalized groups? Suffragists, slaves? Ring a bell? If you think I'm exaggerating or something, I'm really not. You were born into a world already bulldozed for cars so you literally can'

The higher the friction, the lower the probability of conversion. E.g. Amazon famously found every 100ms of latency costs them 1% in sales. At its most simplified, this can be thought of as a simple function of time — the more time somethin

"Not at fault" as far as the law is concerned, is a low bar. If you're one of the last cars in a queue, you should be checking your mirrors for exactly this scenario. Throwing your hands up in the air saying "well the la

A helmet is priority #100. If your helmet ever comes into play, you've fucked up so bad it'll probably not help you much.

Driving predictably and smoothly is good. The only time there should be any braking considered remotely "hard" would be when something surprised you, which should almost never happen.

This is dangerous nonsense. It's basically just a justification people find in order to feel good about their unsafe driving.

Neither does the car — it won't drive into what LIDAR sees as a wall. But stopping is not good enough, it needs to be able to navigate the obstacle as well. Also, even if the car behaved perfectly anyway, these scenarios are useful for

Not entering a roundabout when it's clearly safe to do so is a mark against you at a driving exam. So would be always driving at 5mph. It's just not that simple.

I'm looking. Comes out unfavorably to cars. Obviously. I guess you're comparing the total cost of trains vs a subset of costs of cars, as is usual. Road use and pollution are free externalities after all.

Yeah, but that's because it's implemented poorly. It literally asks you to confirm deletion of each file individually, even for thousands of files. What it should do is generate a user-friendly overview of what's to be delete
