I'm Australian, and the photo clearly showing that you can park a car and get two cars past one another tells me that these "narrow streets" are substantially wider than all the normal streets in my vicinity.

I suspect this is more of a stroad (and planning) problem than an actual narrow street problem.

Have you got concurrency and parallelism swapped around?

The functions you've called out are higher order functions regularly associated with the functional programming paradigm. "In the first place" for a lot of people would be a functional programming course at a university.

For your specific case, rust (like a few other languages) implements these through iterator programming. There's a section in the rust book that might help.

Apart from academia you learn from experience, including a healthy amount of reading other people's code, just like you did to find out about these functions in the first place!

what's stopping three, or four, or an entire suburb?

If this leads to spontaneous direct democracy I'm all for it

Australia has ABC Vote Compass, but it has some oddities based on issues with our political/media landscape:

  • it only places you relative to the three top parties
  • all the questions are specific election wedge issues (mostly between the top two parties) rather than broader ideological questions, and so it only updates in the run up to each federal (read: national, Australia wide) election
  • it takes politicians statements at face value, and doesn't factor in actual behaviour in power which is often at odds (if you're curious, look up the history of high speed rail or nuclear power in Australia. Both have been used for electioneering again and again, neither exist despite the advocating party winning)

It doesn't need a punchline because the NACC is a joke
