I bike on lower Randolph all the time. On lower lower Wacker only if you count crossing it between the Riverwalk and Lakeshore East Park.

It's hilarious how many people avoid lower Wacker drive in Chicago because they're so dependent on gps.

I don't have a car so I don't drive often, but I can't stand gps directions when I do, constantly changing the route and micro optimizing. I just look at the map and try to remember it. (Admittedly, having a map in a car is useful, even if I don't like the directions).

A related atrophied skill is the inability for many people to find a place to stop for lunch on the route, since they only understand turn by then directions, not the map.

if they have agents write the scrapers you better believe they're playing every evil trick in the book

yes, people (some of whom I know) have looked at this of course: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S136403212...

but it's somewhat risky, since if the power goes out in winter, to first order, everyone dies. I think you'd always keep the generator on at low load, just in case.

Note that wind turbines at pole have not historically been very successful, maybe that will improve.

Yes but the South Pole burns jet fuel. Not much wind and 6 months of darkness.

The hut point peninsula is consistently windy though and the turbines are pretty! https://photos.app.goo.gl/goDVb7KuiKr6soHT6

Without cubic furlongs I don't have a good intuition for the amount

Just wait for the new reflecting pool standard of official water.

i just saw this for the first time today in Romania...

C compilers are already so fast... Now a fast C++ or rust compiler would be useful.

Or they're self conscious about their use of AI so they take a maximalist stance to compensate.

don't you just love having a point cloud so dense that it's completely unreadable?

it seems a lot of people don't know about histograms...

heh, from my address in downtown Chicago, I get 2.34 miles in the shortest direction and > 3000 miles (aka don't reach 100k within the US) in the longest direction (slices of lake michigan passing through unpopulated stretches of the UP. Canada is not included, but not sure it would help much...

like, not in a browser?

no support for native GUI?

Python startup time is a problem. I don't know about ts but I bet it's worse.

probably buckeye fans

Used this on our balloon payload! Works like a charm with microchip ICs.

and for Romania, which has far, far more than are listed

yeah, like my university's whole accounting system...

I think it's better now but PDF viewers used to ignore the interpolation method for bitmaps, resulting in colormap histograms turning super blurry depending on how they were saved. Oh and 0 width lines...

And so can I using the convenient Firefox VPN...

I'm not concerned with CPU use/wakeups while actively using it, but with it sitting idle doing nothing.

Otherwise an idle TUI wouldn't halve my laptop's battery life. Maybe that's an exaggeration but not that much, based on looking at wakeups in powertop.

But Gemini is bundled with various plans, like the ones that give you more storage for photos.

you should be careful about the times it doesn't say honest!

I'm fine using my mobile browser for things. What I'm not fine on is using the, um, internet intent thing that comes up when you click on a link in slack or email or something and isn't actually you're browser and if you switch applications it might go away forever?

SLOC should omit comments no?

It works really well for a ton of use cases (e.g. any data acquisition task, which is mostly what I use C for...)

USPS is def an option for Digikey...

(not that I use it since they don't deliver to our loading dock)

cool, now can you stop randomly having my google maps app go dim and dark as I'm biking making it impossible for me to see what I'm supposed to do next?
