And I guess we just fight over it and the strongest person gets it for free?

Comrade Trump agrees, and has canceled this misguided half measure.

We wouldn't be in this mess if the people who "critique power" had spent even 1% of their energy celebrating and bragging about modest progressive successes instead of tearing Democrats down relentlessly with every breath.

Gee whiz, no corruption going on here, I am certain.

Many families use 20-gallon cans, most likely much smaller than what they actually need, because Oakland has some of the highest waste collection fees in Alameda County. The city charges $110 per month for a 64-gallon can, compared with roughly $50 in the nearby cities of Emeryville and Fremont.

Glad the NYTimes is getting clicks off our city's dysfunction and every other place in the region sending their problems here.

Social media connected me with a new current career path which then became a company. It has also driven me to the point of madness (at least, before I left twitter). I've put in guardrails on unhealthy modes of engagement, which has helped.

I'm still using the Dream Machine you sold me (plus a couple more at the office) and a Ubiquiti 16 port PoE switch. All rackmount, but stacked on a shelf... if I add the NAS then I might actually buy a small proper rack, and maybe do something silly like raspberrypi k8s cluster.

Huh, I didn't know Ubiquiti launched a NAS product line. This is very appealing to me. store.ui.com/us/en/catego...

Yup they're gonna have to lose their precious trail.

Ian @woolie.meowmeow.city · 17h

Looks like where I used to work.

Ian @woolie.meowmeow.city · 17h

Yes, so what? It happens.

ROW can be created. It's been done before. It will be done again in the future.

$11 billion is about halfway to a second Transbay tube. Or we could have the dumbest fucking road to nowhere in history.

Caltrans has released a cross section for the ultimate (raised viaduct) version of SR-37.

Now maybe I'm just being paranoid, but if you were building a road that you planned to keep at 4 lanes wide, I don't think it would look like this.

Cross section of 114' wide bridge structure with each direction having a 12' outside shoulder and a 10' inside shoulder.

It wasn't quite Bic Camera but kinda surprised me to see Fuji GFX lenses for sale at something I thought was basically a CVS.

America, the Land of Plenty - until you realize that a random drug store on Robson St in Vancouver has a better stocked electronics and camera section than most specialty stores in the US.

I sold my Leica gear (not too much, just an M3 and three lenses) to help bootstrap my company in 2018 and I still miss it even though I hardly shot a couple rolls of film with it 😆

Somehow I'm not already familiar with this model... which is it?

I'm porting a lot of older javascript UI code to typescript because it's better and safer but also because Claude is much, much more effective in typescript and it's helping to add new features faster than I could add by hand in the past.

One could ask what, even the tiniest action, should have earned respect.

Claude can "one shot" port 500+ line vue components written in javascript into modern typescript. Kinda amazing tbh.

I just want "yarn link" to work. Just once, reliably. This is unacceptable.

Ian @woolie.meowmeow.city · 1d

I think it's likely I'll be able to stop by this happy hour!

It is much warmer than I expected!!!
