As an alternative to web sockets and JavaScript, can I offer my alternative (ok, it's not persistent chat) implemented with character devices as a Linux kernel module? I don't know if it still works, but it has the same name :)

I fully agree with ditching distracting screens for safety reasons, but this article focuses more on customers disliking the screens. Maybe my 2017 Civic is not new enough to experience that frustration? It has a touchscreen with Android Au

To be fair, that's exactly how LA turned into LA: they ripped up streetcar lines, demolished parts of the city to make room for interstate highways, and changed the development rules to require low density and lots of parking. Which is

You might be interested in pre-commit which does exactly that! https://pre-commit.com/ It probably will also support Ruff if it doesn't already.

I believe that you'll find the plenty of people complaining about both of them. Speaking as one of those people. The sideshows have woken me up at night on a couple occasions.

Sure, and I'm happy to see those uses get developed. :) The original argument I'm pushing back against is that by replacing deliveries in cities, drones could deliver the car-free pedestrian/cycling utopia of our dreams.

This can't be reiterated enough times. Forbes articles, in my mind, are automatically bunk now, since they accept minimally vetted blog posts from their "contributors" who are just looking for SEO and a boost from the brand n

I'm definitely on the side of walkable and safe streets, but I guess I'm interested why you think drones would be a better option than delivery vehicles, or that they would deliver on the promise of a car free future? Drones are l

That's an argument that's pretty hard to justify. Most zoning rules with parking minimums attempt to meet peak demand for free parking. Subsidized free parking means that all the extra spaces are paid for by the business regardl

If there was already plentiful parking at your destination then the whole "cruising for parking" discussion is moot anyway, right? The concerns were about congested commutes to denser downtown areas where parking is difficult, or

by brenns10 4y ago
Much of this depends on the particular city's rules and when development happened. Off-street parking requirements have become far more common since the 1950s. Places that developed prior to this (and didn't dramatically re-develo

I think it's a moonshot because it expects that we will have shared, open standards and protocols for all of this, which will either need to come from industry, or from regulators. Neither feels very likely. But then again, it could ha

Congestion pricing and market rate, unsubsidized parking _should_ be the default already. So let's start with those policies now :)

Exactly. Which means drivers are getting a great discount thanks to the people who don't use a car, and the non-drivers are getting a markup on all the prices they pay. And the non-drivers were already paying a huge amount to maintain

I mean, for sure there are some cool moonshot ideas. However I think it's pretty important to have some proof of concept or even a technical idea of how that would work before dismissing all of the concerns around congestion. Waving ar

Sure, fair market pricing for parking via bidding would be amazing. Of course, there's decades of subsidies for parking built-in, but the price would still be much higher than you'd expect. (Check out "The High Cost of Free P
