Why did you fuck up? Because you didn't get enough sleep. Why didn't you get enough sleep? Because you were on-call at 3am. Why were you on-call at 3am? Because the apps keep crashing once a week. Why are the apps crashing once a week? Because nobody has prioritized fixing them. Why has nobody prioritized fixing them? Because the feature work is higher priority.

Or: Why did you fuck up? There was no validation of the change before applying it. Why was there no validation of the change? Because we've never prioritized validation. Why have we never prioritized validation? Because we don't think it's important. Why don't we think it's important? Because we never look back at our previous failures to see if there's a pattern of failures from lack of validation.

So even from "I fucked up" we find a number of problems and things we can start addressing.
Instead of installing bumps and doing a marketing campaign, why not actually fix the problem and install roundabouts? They're safer, cheaper than lights, and more environmental because they keep traffic moving.
If you as a pedestrian are having this problem, it's because the road geometry is completely unfit for the purpose and the cars have absolutely no chance of reacting to your moves either. This should only happen on very low speed streets.

It's certainly not your fault either. Somebody is guilty of mass manslaughter.
In a world full of meaningless gestures, this stands out as particularly fatuous.

Surely, HFTs are the key player for spoofing? To play this game, you need to be able to pull your orders faster than people can execute on them. E.g. you see flow on one exchange, you pull on the other?

As I see it, the main problem with spoofing is that it distorts the market information. Any trader, human or machine, can look at the current order book and assume it is somewhat bona fide. Without that, exchanges are just a random draw (more than otherwise). Hence the appeal of dark pools (well, at one time) etc.

I agree, it's just a shit sandwich for them. They should leave asap if they can.

Also, somehow in Zurich (another place with obscene salaries and real estate prices), the service workers lead decent lives from what I've heard. They're paid enough to live on, and it's reflected in everything involving local labor (e.g. a sandwich at a local kiosk) being super expensive in absolute terms. BTW, I'm not sure if their higher wages are mandated by minimum wage laws or are an just effect of labor market forces.
The copywriting is very fresh and to the point:

Go away NOP!
We have roundabouts everywhere in France, but in the US, they seem not very popular.

They do removes the need for traffic lights, make priority checking a non issue and avoid left turns among other benefits. Although they prevent you from going to fast locally, they tend to make traffic more fluid on average.

Why are they not used that much in the US ?

I do a lot of these design experiments. I have an idea such as "what if wikipedia was designed only with reading comprehension in mind" and then I see what taking it to the most ridiculous extreme does. Sometimes it pans out, like I'm fairly happy with this wikipedia mirror, sometimes it doesn't--like I have no logos or branding anywhere on my sites, that turned out to be a bit confusing.

My mirror clocks in at 21 Gb. I'm self hosting so there's no real money cost besides the one-time investment in hardware. A really chap person could probably host this off a raspberry pi attached to something like a Corsair Voyager and serve multiple requests per second.

There's some technical trickiness in actually storing the files in a file system, since most filesystems don't deal well with having millions of files in the same folder. So I've had to build a four-tier directory structure based on the hash of the file name to be able to store the files. They're stored in a structure like 31/444/781/225/foobar.gz.

I did some experiments storing them as BLOBs in a database, but I couldn't get it to work.

You can keep asking that question, but physics doesn't care about who is morally right. Everyone should pay more attention to increase safety. Drivers, pedestrians, cyclists, everyone.
Hi.

Left turns where the pedestrians have a green light, or oncoming traffic does, are batshit crazy. Kill them before they kill more people.
It's odd to me that such a significant source of fatalities is being addressed in a very unambitious way. Left turns are clearly difficult maneuvers in many parts of SF. Why not turn them into protected left turns?

This "just blame the drivers" attitude is really odd. Their response is to tell drivers that they need to take more care and then enforce the care with an obstacle course. Why not do something harder that would be more effective? Protected lefts. Separating walk signals from green lights. Tickets to penalize poor driving. Tickets to penalize anyone walking out of turn. Tickets for anything that makes the left turn more complicated so drivers can focus on the job.
The 2nd stupidest thing about the term Latinx is how it is spelled.

No other word in English operates this way. If you want the 'x' to be pronouced as 'ex' you should spell it that way. Latinex. Or hyphenate it like we do with x-ray. Lantin-x.

But of course the 1st stupidest thing is that no other word in Spanish operates remotely like this either. It shows a lack of understanding or care for the Spanish language. Not too different than the attitude of colonists they despise.
Since I was trying out nushell, I came across Starthip which supports nushell! I noticed that prompt managers which run non-shell binaries may be unable to support things like showing the tty since I assume they are execing any external tools (/usr/bin/tty) in a non-tty environment. But still very cool to have the same prompt run unmodified in zsh, bash, nushell etc. The git VCS performance in it is pretty good too even in large monorepos.

The current status quo in south bay is at least 4 states per light cycle:

Horizontal straight (vertical pedestrians

Horizontal left turns (no pedestrians)

Vertical straight (horizontal pedestrians)

Vertical left turns (no pedestrians)

So the proposal increases the time a given pedestrian can use the intersection from 25% of the time to 33%.

Many simple south bay intersections have 6 states, and I’ve seen one where they’ve added a 7th state to the cycle so the bike lanes can go straight while cars have a red right turn arrow.
> The second you take any donation, you can't use the excuse of "I'm doing this work for free. Leave me alone if you don't like it" because at that point you aren't doing it for free.

No, I don't agree. Communicate clearly that donations are in no way payment for the work being / to be done, does not constitute any preferential treatment / service agreement, and you're good.

This setup works for me well, and I have no issues with people's expectations.

This isn't quite correct - NXDOMAIN responses can be cached, so if you create a new record, and you've already queried for it, you might get a cached response.

In BIND, this is configured as a NXDOMAIN cache on the SOA record for the zone, but that's an implementation detail.
It’s because it’s a book review with a tiny bit of other stuff thrown in, and ends up being neither.

I've been driving in the US for 16 years. The "left turn on green" is still the most non-intuitive part about driving here.

As a driver, when you have a green light, you need to pay attention to giving priority to incoming traffic and pedestrians crossing the street, while also maintaining your calm with cars lining up behind you. It's way more intuitive that when you have a green, you can go.

Do you accept that at some point they might try to take away an honor from you because of it?

Personally, I'd say yes. I know enough to try to diminish my animal consumption, but for a variety of reasons I haven't eliminated it. If that is someday seen as monstrous enough that they want to revoke my awards and recognition, I'm actually all for it. It will be a better, kinder world than the one I live in.

I've tried a number of alternative prompt approaches in the past, but they've almost all been script based approaches, and the delay as the prompt message was generated was always palpable to me. Starship has been the only one I've stuck with, primarily because of just how fast it is.

Exactly. No methodology can overcome a low enough baseline of trust. Over time, cynicism gets equally distributed and the justification for literally any process or technique becomes vapid corporate kool-aid. You're just left with thinly-disguised attempts to assert power met with toxic resentfulness.

The way I see it, there's a spectrum of trust that goes from one extreme where almost no process works well, and the other extreme where almost any process works well.

So there's the easy discussion of how your technique is supposed to work, and then the hard discussion of how much trust it requires of the people involved.

> I think a lot of people just forget that there's a big blind spot (...)

Honestly, I think most people just don't care.

If they cared but forgotten they would be doing some other obvious things like slowing down when they drive close to parked cars or setting their mirrors to cover around the car as well as possible.

But that is not what I observe. I see almost all drivers to drive fast inches from parked cars and I can see the driver's face in their side mirror when in car behind them -- clear indication that they have side mirrors set to the road behind the car rather than cover huge blind spot on the side of the car.
I'm in favor of this, but I think it's a complete non-starter politically. It would largely affect the elderly, and the elderly love to vote.

That's called daylighting and SFMTA knows it exists. That they aren't using it everywhere is baffling[1].

> I understand the city isn't going to reduce street parking

It should, but given how much push back there is for every change to cities that make them better cities (increased density, prioritizing local movement of people by improving things for transit, cyclists and pedestrians, implementing safer streets) I'm not holding my breath.

The quite large homeless population living all along the streets also contribute, although hard to quantify in stats as I don't think they're kept. The number of people who 1) are stoned out of their minds on x (not just alcohol, but things like meth/heroin) or 2) just don't care (they'll see you and step out anyway, and slam your hood when you stop), just suddenly step out in front of you from between 2 other parked cars. You have a split second to react, even at 15mph. Combine that with less than ideal visibility, especially during fall/winter (dark early/foggy/rainy) and it's a recipe for tragedy. I think I see more bike accidents caused by that than cars because the bikes are typically driving on the shoulder between the parked cars and the closest lane, so even less chance to see them step in front of you at the last second. You can see this around any large homeless population living on sidewalks in any large city in the US and it's not unique to SF at all. Just stand on a street corner for 15-20 minutes and observe the road all down the block.
So much this. Day-to-day I drive an older automobile (an early 90s sedan, design-similar to models as early as 1986) and every time I get in the driver's seat of a recent model car I'm reminded of how much more limited my visibility is.

Ask HN: Recommendations for indoor/work space air quality sensors?
After experiencing negative effects first hand, I've read a lot on the importance of air quality, which became quite more important with the increase of home office time in the past years. I'd like to get a reliable, preferably connected air quality sensor, at a price that makes it reasonable to place it in multiple spaces (like sleep, work).

I'm looking for a solution that has at least both humidity and particle matter (CO2/PM2.5/PM10) sensors.

There are DIY options as all required components seem to cost a few dollars, but I'm looking for ready-made products without soldering.
While there really is quite a few of them, seemingly there is nothing between the $10-20 (Amazon desk stations, Ikea Vindriktning) and the $150+ range (PurpleAir, Kaiterra Laser Egg, Netatmo), former looking too cheap to be trusted, the latter possibly be too expensive to get multiple of (especially as reviews are not uniform of their accuracy).

Do you have any recommendations to monitor indoor air quality?

I built something similar for personal use. It's a Mac app that uses AppleScript to poll Spotify for the track that is currently playing. It then looks for chords on Ultimate Guitar through a small NodeJS API that uses Puppeteer to scrape the site. I'll usually just put my guitar playlist on shuffle and have this app open alongside it.
Hour and a half total round trip? Almost certainly more including traffic and navigating the city? Plus having to drive yourself ( or public transit) instead of a cab?

How often are you actually making that trip? At that point you aren't participating in the culture of the city.

Also you aren't going to school in the city, aren't meeting people at cultural events in the city, etc. Etc.
That assaults you with a mix of garish colors and animations, but sections of sanity break through now and there.

The site for Yvette's Bridal Formal, sadly now gone but archived [1], lacks the animations, but doubles down on the color assault and doesn't interrupt it with any sanity for arguably more effective inflection of mental damage upon the viewer.

> Divide is split into each cycle's ops, iterate for as long as your results need.

You know what would be better? If you had a decompression routine built into the CPU that would convert division and modulus commands into this loop at the micro-code level.

That way, a divide / modulus cycle (probably taking 20 instructions taking 50+ bytes) can be compressed into a singular instruction (1 instruction taking 4 bytes)... using less L1 cache.
I did. That still only tells you the first time those characters are used forwards and backwards. It's unhelpful for email addresses where the likelihood of repeated characters goes up a lot and for any passwords where there are multiples of the same character.

Everything is life is unfair. The question is where does the government need to intervene.

In my opinion, not yet in the case of Amazon. As I listed, they numerous competitors, and one hardly needs Amazon to obtain their goods. It is trivial to throw up a non Amazon retail website.

At least I can think of many more businesses where consumers do not have an option and extremely high switching costs that need to be dealt with first. Such as a home’s wired internet service provider. That is an unfair advantage that needs the government.

I would say the iOS/Android duopoly is another big one.

Yes -- as a runner it is extremely common for me to be hidden by the A pillar and almost run over. These are extremely clear-cut situations, e.g. someone rolls up to a stop sign as I'm entering an intersection.

When the car doesn't come to a complete stop, it's easy for a moving pedestrian to stay in the blind spot as both objects move. I watch the whole time and never see their face.
>That's not how realtor fees work. The seller pays them

1. even if you're not paying them, it's baked into the price.

2. OP mentioned buying and selling (for a loss), so he'll eventually have to pay it

3. if you search around, realtor fees are customarily at 6% for the seller, so my estimate of 2.5% for both sides is actually underestimating it.

> What you've described is a worst-case scenario which completely ignores the fact that homeowners have a real asset they can then sell.

I'm using the case that OP himself provided.

>Further, any of this handwaving about all the fees of ownership apply just as well to whoever owns the property you're renting -- all of which costs they simply pass to the renter. There is no world where renting is as cost-effective as ownership over the long term.

Right, I'm not claiming that you're not throwing away any money when renting, just that it's nowhere the full rent, and the numbers aren't as rosy as OP initially suggested (ie. you can lose $144K house value in 4 years, and still break even).
I'm not sold, yet, on roundabouts improving safety over four-way stops. Pedestrians at regular intersections are pretty easy to spot. But when you come up to a typical roundabout, the road is twisting a little, you're looking to see what traffic is approaching the roundabout, and the crosswalk is usually right in the area where the road is twisting to line up for roundabout entry.

I don't know that I have any suggestion, though, to make it better other than try to keep pedestrians far enough from the roundabout that drivers can easily focus on them and not be distracted by more moving parts.

The argument that you are only crossing half the road at a time is fairly compelling, though. I guess there's a trade-off there.
