David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Yes, I also saw it and it was not great. Not enough deep level knowledge of transit projects to do it justice.

Huge caveat, I am not a Russian speaker (of any level), so I am purely going on the translated text and her body language.

Is there a possibility that she is being sarcastic / self-censoring? I have wondered this after seeing this clip come across my feed a few times now.

Like when you're in a restaurant and the waiter comes by to ask how the food is, you don't say "crap", you say "great" and just never come back.

This PSA has a corollary PSA:

Your users aren't reporting bugs. Nobody (99.9%+) reports bugs. Listen when someone reports a bug, because that person is probably speaking for 1000 others.

PSA!

It's so easy to forget to handle websocket reconnects in LV, but if you're deploying regularly, your users are likely seeing A LOT of bugs coming from this.

Go to one of your pages, click around a bit, then run `liveSocket.socket.triggerChanError()`, and see what happens.

Yes! I really really loved all the care and details, like how each person’s text bubbles work according to how they wrote or otherwise reproduced text.

Ik vind het ook een overtuigend argument en ben zelf van plan, een niet van nature GLPVDA stemmer, op hen te stemmen.

CDA zal komen met dezelfde verhalen over GLPVDA. En als ze allebei hetzelfde doen dan heb je een klassieke tweestrijd.

Ze willen zelf stemmen binnen halen van de andere linkse partijen. Wat er gebeurt met de rest, boeit ze niet heel erg. Daarom die verhalen over hoe erg het is voor de linkse stemmer als CDA of PVV het grootste wordt. Ze willen dat mensen denken “dan moeten wij zorgen dat GL/PVDA het grootste—

Jezus. Je stelt één kritische vraag en je wordt meteen uitgenodigd op alle talkshows? Dat zegt echt heel veel.

Ik vind het adembenemend hoe snel het vrije pers uitgeroeid wordt in Amerika.

Small towns with busy roads passing through them are also so different from small towns without that. Look at Creemore for example. Super nice little town. Off the main road. (I grew up in nearby Stayner, which does have a main road going through it)
