Most of the JS bloat comes from really aggressive analytics, error tracking, and a/b testing. Not many developers are willing or given approval to remove these features up for smaller bundle sizes.

Anything under $2.25/watt would put it within under a 4 year payback period, Alberta has good rates for solar. Rooftop solar doesn't have operating costs that I can think of unless you want to clean them and clear snow which is optional. And inverters usually have a 20-25 year warranty.

My sister plans to just buy the self driving subscription for the month they go on road trips and thats it. Far better than buying it up front.

I still really like the Arc browser. Other browsers are still missing some of the small UI/UX things Arc has.

The real world isn't A/B tests. No government is going to spend millions on equipment and infrastructure on a congestion zone because some engineers are like "Let's just test this out. I have done zero research on what could possibly happen, but it would be fun to see what the results are."

This makes perfect sense for a headless CMS. An editor might upload changes or a new article a few times per day/week into a database through a headless CMS. A webserver could make a request to the headless CMS/database for every web page load, but if the content doesn't change then the webpage can be computed and served statically. The web server can compute just the changes per page or regenerate the whole site on any change on the backend.

Free streets are a handout to suburbanites that drive in and don't have to deal with constant congestion, pollution, noise, and collisions that people living in the congestion zone have to deal with.

I doubt you were old enough to be around and voting for councillors pushing for parking minimums back in the 1950s. You were born into a lot of rules you never chose or voted for. But you happen to like these parking rules.

This is like the tech bro version of: private investors buying properties is inflating property prices.

The problem is blue collar people, which is a new one to me.

The NIMBYs don't only block new residents moving in. They also block existing residents from building new housing that reflects changing tastes and trends.

Beet juice plus antacid is a solid way to urinate red for me.
