So you want to demolish all the car parks that already exist? All of them, tomorrow? Don’t you think it will take some time before the builders can come and replace the last car park in your country with whatever it’s going to be replaced with? During that time, would it not be better to put solar panels on it? (And then remove them before it gets demolished and put them somewhere else)

I am not American, I just think it’s a stupid criticism of such a plan that we “shouldn’t have cars and therefore shouldn’t have car parks” because the fact is that we already do have them so we may as well use them as best we can.

In any case I don’t agree on a total ban on cars entering city centres, at least not in the foreseeable future. The most bike-friendly cities I have lived in and visited have also had many cars. I suspect there is a place for personal cars, deprioritised compared to buses and bikes, in most cities for many years to come. During that time there will need to be car parks. Those car parks should have solar panels on, along with pretty much all other buildings.

Personal cars are going to be here for way longer than 20 years, but 20 years is still long enough to build a lot of solar panels, so the same questions still arise. What will your answer be?

OK, so in 100 years you get your wish and personal cars no longer exist. For the next 100 years, would you like to:

1. put solar panels on top of car parks; or
2. not do that?

In addition, after 100 years on top of the car parks that still exist (perhaps for the shared cars), would you like to:

1. have solar panels on top of them; or
2. not have them?

Well fuck me sideways.

If it’s actually “age verification” as quoted, not “age recording” then it’s significantly worse than the state-level bills.

Are you asking why Qt’s main target is the desktop, rather than mobile?

I think it became popular because you can deliver the same app to mobile and desktop platforms. And because js gave people a very easy intro to development on the web so tons of people know it.

I don’t think it became popular because it was better at making an application on a single target. I’ve never made a webapp with the equivalent of GLADE or QtCreator so I don’t know if it even exists - but those tools are very decent if you had a basic understanding of UI layout.

What RT interfaces do electron apps let you use ;)

I’m confused why Qt Creator wasn’t available - is this project old enough to vote or was there some technical reason :P

Writing stuff in a proper gui framework using the tools we’ve had for decades is not really that bad, it’s just not what all the tutorials are for. CSS can be an absolute pig to get things just so, or was until quite recently.
