  • Oh I see. Most of Australian cities are actually suburban and have had wider footpaths than necessary, as well as parking buffers. It’s trivially easy to just convert one side into a protected bike lane.

    I still argue that in a lot of urban areas where the road has swelled to its natural limit, depending on the road, it can be good to reduce the road by one lane and add a protected bike lane. But this is situational. Not every road needs a bike lane. But there should be bike lanes every so often, so people can safely get close to their destination without bothering motorists.

    It’s too much of a mental simulation to imagine how reducing car lanes becomes a benefit to those that must drive because of a reduction of traffic and potential improvement to overall flow.

    Fair enough. I agree that reducing a road by a lane can improve congestion, it isn’t always the case, and isn’t a simple sell.







  • Docker in and of itself is not the problem here, from my understanding. You can and should trim the container down.

    Also it’s not a “whole nested computer”, like a virtual machine. It’s only everything above the kernel, because it shares its kernel with the host. This makes them pretty lightweight.

    It’s sometimes even sometimes useful to run Rust or C++ code in a Docker container, for portability, provided you of course do it right. For Rust, it typically requires multiple build steps to bring the container size down.

    Basically, the people making these Docker containers suck donkey balls.

    Containers are great. They’re a huge win in terms of portability, reproducibility, and security.
