This is not always the case, especially in urban areas, as was shown during the recent debates over congestion pricing in New York. Car commuters into the central business districts are a much smaller, wealthier group. Free roads act more a

This would be a good argument if the road network was sized for transporting goods primarily. As it stands, road networks in population centres are largely sized to accommodate private motoring.

This is often called "event sourcing". The other commenter mentions Datomic, which probably is the 'latest and greatest' form of event sourcing (I've never used it). https://vvvvalvalval.github.io/po

You don't need undeveloped land. You could increase density on land that is already developed. In the US, even urban areas have a lot of spots where land is used inefficiently: surface parking lots, wide streets, large setbacks, single

"IFactoryRepositoryLocatorBullshit" really has nothing to do with Java the language. That's just how some developers choose to design their programs. What specifically is Java terrible at? I find Java to be as expressive as m

Why build a new city when you can build a new neighbourhood in an existing city? Building a new city is risky. Building a neighbourhood allows you to piggyback on the success of the host city. People already want to live there. Employers al

This is both hilarious and a great point. Java has no "cool factor". HN headlines will add "written in Rust/Go/Julia/Elixir" for coolness points. If you put "written in Java", it would actually m

>Not to mention the pain point that it still is to install and configure a JDK, and make it work properly with Intellij, why is it still so complicated? You just download the JDK, and set JAVA_HOME to point to it when you want to use it.

I don't that find Java as a language has fewer idiosyncrasies (perfect term btw). For example, the many modifiers: public, private, "package-private", protected, default, abstract, static, final, volatile, synchronized, etc.

Some of these things can be achieved with lower-tech sensors. Outdoor lights with light or motion sensors are common. Garage lights typically turn on automatically when the garage door opens. If you mean the human-sized door to the garage,
