Somehow the argument against more money for infrastructure is never levied against freeway expansions.

A future with significantly reduced car traffic in cities ? It's perfectly possible. Cars will never completely disappear, only someone that hasn't thought about the problem or that is building a straw man would say that. Car own

You've identified a problem: public transport in some places sucks. But then veered away from the obvious solution: invest in it to make it not suck.

The thing that continues to happen is that people living in rural towns think that cities changing their mobility priorities to decenter cars is a personal affront. People asking to properly account for the negative externalities of car own

Note that the companion cubes have full physics interactions with the world, something that I don't think was ever done on the N64. Also, looking at the video, the framerate is significantly smoother than the famously choppy GoldenEye.

No subset, all of crates.io gets built for every beta amd then stable right before release looking for any changes from the prior stable. Note that this is not all Rust code that exists, but it does help a lot.

Different people with different use cases have different complains. I haven't quantified but have certainly seen various complaints about both cases from different people.

If there was a magic pot of gold, it would be technically possible to precompile every crate version with every rustc version on every supported platform and distrivute those prebuilt rlibs to users through cargo. That would help with first

For what is worth, you can use https://lib.rs to see the earliest version a crate supports. For Rust 1.63.0, you will have to rely on Clap 4.0.32 from December 2022, instead of anything newer (which only support 1.64.0+): https

We consider poor error messages to be bugs. I know most people don't, so I've made it one of my missions to yell it from the mountain tops to encourage people to report more often. We can't fix what we don't know about.
