This project should actually attain mass adoption. I have not seen a credible objection to the code/simulation overall. So that's good! If the code sucked I'd be the first to hear about it.

I'd like to massively elevate this system. First, I want to see the results of real world Fill/Flush trials. If the F&F deplaning simulation seems credible after these IRL experiments it should be evaluated irl

(consider only visiting this site on a desktop sized monitor if possible :D)

Please review my attempt to discover the true time cost of the marginal handicapped parking space. I am tired of thoughtlessly accepting this imposition into our physical space. A code review is very much solicited!

very_good_man — Sat, 03 May 2025 14:57:37 +0000

I wrote this website for my Aunts/Uncles. It lets them log the state plates they've seen. I was criticized by a high IQ friend into supporting the DC plate. And that's why the max score is actually 102% in a given month :D

I pay an exorbitant $5/month for Cloudflare Durable Objects and Workers. The code is public here:

Thanks for reading guys!

probably half of my comments are flagged or reported. that's censorship. look at the comment history yourself and stop censoring people.

The censorship is almost non-stop. And no, it wasn't "Always Like This!"

Hey as a 20th birthday gift to the internet, why not stop censoring comments?
