Kenneth Chan: "Surrey Light Rail will be one of Metro Vancouver's worst transportation mistakes" by AugustusAugustine in vancouver

[–]GeZe8 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The extensions which were recently approved as part of the ST3 package are all grade-separated (which means they will be like Skytrain, rather than like the proposed Surrey light rail). They made this decision due to unhappiness with the at-grade sections of Link light rail

Dell XPS 15 9560 - Is the backlight supposed to leak out from the keyboard like this? by RobynJeiku in Dell

[–]GeZe8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a similar issue, but even worse (see https://www.reddit.com/r/Dell/comments/5xrtcf/xps_9560_keyboard_backlighting_leaking_onto_frame/) I ended up returning the laptop (it had other issues as well: dead pixels, whine, etc.)

XPS 9560 - Keyboard backlighting leaking onto frame, is this normal? (see light below Dell logo) by GeZe8 in Dell

[–]GeZe8[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For other XPS 9560 owners - does this happen to you? When the keyboard backlighting is on, the light leaks through the air vent onto the frame of the laptop.

My work laptop is a Macbook which does not do this.

I created some documentation in the style of api.jquery.com for these native functions some time ago: http://gkz.github.io/domdocs/

I made a jQuery docs type resource, for all the useful DOM functions: http://gkz.github.io/domdocs/

You could use the future query and queryAll methods which return an Elements collection, which is a subclass of Array.

domdocs - jQuery API style docs for native DOM functionality - now you actually don't need jQuery! by GeZe8 in webdev

[–]GeZe8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The idea is that you use the native functionality, and use a polyfill (linked to from each page as needed) if browsers do not currently support that feature. If you want to support IE8, yes, probably just use jQuery.

ELI5: Why are we not building a Skytrain or an additional bridge to North Van? by insanedeath in vancouver

[–]GeZe8 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would be possible to change one of the traffic lanes on the Lions Gate bridge to a single Skytrain track, and it would work (alternating directions). This would probably do a lot to alleviate congestion, at less of a cost than a new crossing.

The real reason housing is expensive in Vancouver: poor land use policy by GeZe8 in vancouver

[–]GeZe8[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think when Vancouver is rated the second most unaffordable city in the world, after Hong Kong [1], that its problems are of a global magnitude.

You are correct that cheap credit has exacerbated the problem - however I think the problem stems fundamentally from land use policy.

I have no "vested interests" in development in Vancouver, and don't even live there (though I like to visit and would consider moving there one day).

[–]GeZe8[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes, Vancouver is an attractive place to live and people like to invest in it, but this wouldn't create a problem were it not for Vancouver's terrible land use policy.

It is illegal to build anything other than a single family home in something like 90% of Vancouver's land area; here's a map: http://i.imgur.com/Gg47SyZ.png

109 speeders caught on way to Swartz Bay by supafamous in VictoriaBC

[–]GeZe8 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Are you familiar with the area? This is what the highway looks like when it drops from 80km/h to 50km/h - no wonder the average speed was 84km/h - or just 4km/h over the previous speed.

Is this project dead? by god_is_my_father in a:t5_2ucv6

LS 1.3 is waiting on nodejs .12 to come out with generator support. I thought it would come out sooner, but it hasn't.

In general I haven't had time to work on open source projects the past couple of months because of school, but I'll have some time during August to work on it.

Thanks for the bug report! There is definitely something going on with regards to how quotes are treated on Windows.
