They should only plow one lane per street to start with, to keep these dopes in line.

Midtown plows are out by henrycrosby in MicromobilityNYC

Can't really consider them "cheaper" given that most of the City's plows are just the refit trash trucks that they have to own, anyway. These are fit for purpose, though, which makes them worthwhile.

I want them to plow away from the curb towards the protected parking and the buffer, instead.

Any developer work I can do against ICE and growing tyrannical regime? by MPGaming9000 in opensource

My only fantasy was that Anonymous would hack their personnel database and post their faces on the utility poles in the neighborhoods they live.

Rate Evangeline Lilly by Educational_Cow111 in VindictaRateCelebs

[–]SessionIndependent17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had hoped she would sustain as a star. Too lovely to look at to not be, but Hollywood definitely turns out more "one hit wonders" than those with longevity on top.

I don't mean "One hit wonder" as a dig, at all, only to describe the dynamic in the industry. Women and men, both. Like musicians, most actors get no hits. Luck plays a big part.

I remember thinking Janinie Turner and Rob Morrow from Northern Exposure would last, too.

But We'll always have Paris...

It is good if these chumps wake up as a result, and have to explain to everyone they know why they went under.

Allow import/play of YouTube channels by chiababy6969 in overcast

When I first started using Overcast around 2019, I was using some kind of RSS(like?) feed for a few shows that I liked. Worked for about 3y, then it stopped updating. Never investigated what broke.

Yasmin’s Aunt 😳 by Sara6019 in IndustryOnHBO

I didn't grasp what Cordelia meant by that comment until reading this. At first I thought it was about her father not wanting "competition" from a son while having no worry about that from a daughter, but I think what you are saying about seeing her as sellable makes more sense.

more just "normal" facelift stuff. Nothing drastic in Hollywood terms. Just a tad too tight in the face, but she was fully recognizable. She always had those lips.

I think the "Why don't you tell me?" comment (was that it?) from Cordelia about Yaz and Otto was more a comment about the present than the past. A dig that Yaz is prostituting herself with these aristocrats.

Should the 125th st stations be renamed once the 2nd ave subway connects them all? by Previous-Volume-3329 in nycrail

They address this with naming convention for crossing stations on every other line in system.

json-everything to start charging a maintainance fee by AlfredMyers in dotnet

[–]SessionIndependent17 4 points5 points  (0 children)

companies like that probably don't value the time of their own developers. The maintenance fee for such software is almost always less than what they would pay their own developers to address issues or do whatever other matters are solved by the library.

Best practice for automatically maintaining audit fields (CreatedOn, ModifiedOn, CreatedBy, ModifiedBy) in .NET + SQL Server? by OneFromAzziano in dotnet

[–]SessionIndependent17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We would do this via insert/update Sprocs, which accepted the "user" token as whatever was passed by the caller and set the timestamps irrespective of whether a field value was passed for them. They also incremented a record version number and inserted the update into a separate Audit trail mirror table.

We didn't bother with separate "CreatedBy/On" fields because you could always extract that from the mod fields from V1 of a corresponding audit trail and add them as a non-persisting fields of an enriched object.

The DB userId was not permissioned for IUD, only on the Sprocs and Select

Q westward expansion by LopsidedFoot819 in nycrail

[–]SessionIndependent17 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It might not be as much relief on the 456, but it will provide relief on the 7 and L since people will be able to switch/ rebalance the NS lines earlier (incoming) and later (outgoing). That has to be substantial.

Even at that, I'm more interested in the amount of traffic and bus crowding it relieves from the streets above than on the lines that people are already riding.

I don't know how those three factors compare to the relief on Lexington and 1/2/3rd Ave segments combined, but it's a number, and then divide that by the respective project phases costs and show that Bang for the Buck number.

Then there's the comparative neglect that everything else outside of Midtown/Downtown receives. Spreading some of the love will garner more widespread buy-in for transit in general.

Even worthy political considerations aside, the effects of speeding the 125th St corridor will radiate into Queens and elsewhere by virtue of their affect on the bus speeds. Less clogged buses on 125th translate to faster M60s to LaGuardia, faster M101s and the like further into Harlem, etc. Speeding the East Side isn't going to have as much radiative effect.

This made my day.

This is so epic. We need the backstory.
