This seems like a pretty naive take. We "went places" in the past for one set of reasons, we'll "go places" in the future for another set.

i built the same thing (though only the notifier, not all the stat tracking) for my friend group back in 2017 when PUBG came out and we were trying to play together as often as we could. can confirm it worked great.

i eventually moved the bot to glitch.com (rip) where we could collaborate on it and it evolved into a monster of in jokes and utilities. it's going offline this week unless i can find the time to migrate it off glitch

> In the US, trips that are 50-300 miles are almost all done by car because that distance is too short for commercial airlines and too far for public transportation.

How can the solution be worse cars rather than better public transport?

The article is arguing that the people the author agrees with should have more authority to do what they want and the people they disagree with should have less. And when those people won't leave then "we need to be okay ruffling some feathers". Sounds pretty fascist aligning to me.

I was ready to be "just another screenshot app" but then I saw the distance measure tool, that's very cool

Typescript/Deno is very ergonomic and presents a lower barrier for entry for writing web servers. However, it's a relatively large and slow to start runtime which makes it less than ideal for developer tools.

You should use the right tool for the job. Not every language is good for every job or every person.
