@NORTAJeffersonParishTransit
Could’ve Waited Until The Audio Finished (Was Very Annoyed 🙄)

@NORTAJeffersonParishTransit
I Mean The Passenger Who Pressed The Stop Really Could Have Waited Until The Audio Finished But At Least I Got To Hear The Main Library Audio At 0:22 It’s Better Than Hearing Main Lib At 0:01 Then There’s The Stop Requested Button 🙄

seattle but it’s only the parts where you’re allowed to have a store www.arcgis.com/apps/mapview...
a dark gray map of seattle showing a very small amount of thin bright red (commercial) and orange (neighborhood commercial) strips around major thoroughfares. downtown is colored purple and pink because it's zoned separately. the rest of the city is exclusively zoned for residential, where corner stores and coffee shops are totally banned

i think the bluesky ui should differentiate between “you blocked this person” and “this person blocked the person quoting them”

“this has of course infuriated ballard residents who think they deserve light rail more than pinehurst residents” at least ive *heard* of ballard before
Seattle got a new light rail station, too and the Seattle Times absolutely hates it, judging by their recent reporting. The city failed to build up a dense new community around the Pine-hurst station during planning and construction, so it may be underutilized until developers realize this (there is a tempting looking golf course to bulldoze right next door). This has of course infuriated Ballard residents who think they deserve light rail more than Pinehurst res-idents, but there's no word yet from Sound Transit on my modest proposal to build the new line to Magnolia Village instead and ignore Ballard voices.

i think perhaps the whole framing of “difficulty in video games” as a coherent topic is the problem. nobody complains about difficulty settings in like, sudoku

the journey from "well i'm new here, i shouldn't mess with processes i don't understand, chesterton's fence and all" to "i've been here for long enough to know all of this shit can't be changed, i'll just let the boys deal with the fallout to their own decisions"

look if nothing else, our culture would get over its prudishness real fucking fast if there were a macro wolf guy who was just jacking off downtown and rubbing his balls on buildings and whatever. instant, massive icebreaker. but none of that can happen without this small business loan

let's zoom in on this for a second, because a lot of people are being derisive, so: for many actual people, the available options are (1) real career doing weird niche symbol manipulation well enough that employers are incentivized to provide actual autism accommodations (2) washing dishes somewhere

so there's a youtube subculture of chopping up “take five” into increasingly convoluted structures — at first it was just "different numbers of beats in the measure" and now they’re doing ... stuff like this youtu.be/XtFEMxBdvB4

they were looking for feedback on hacker news and I couldn't help it
HN comment from me:

I apologize for being somewhat direct but what prior art did you engage with? Why are you making people create a branch for each change in a stack? Why do developers have to create new commits when iterating on the PR? Where is the proper support for interdiffs? What about change IDs?
The fundamental issue with GitHub -- really, its original sin -- is that the review model is wrong. It encourages a new commit + merge workflow, which is simply worse than an amend + rebase workflow. Basically every other review system in existence -- Gerrit, Phabricator, what Google and Meta have internally, the LKML -- works around stacks where people amend and rebase their commits when changing them. All of these have some notion of a "diff", with "versions" that are each tracked separately, and the ability in the review tool to do diffs between those versions. My hope with stacked PRs was that for once GitHub would use this as an opportunity to modernize its review system and bring it in line with all of these other ones. But sadly that just doesn't seem like it's on the cards.
