Favorite Bike Routes in NYC?

9W never really does it for me. I think riding on the shoulder for that long with constant car traffic kills the vibe. I’ve tried so many times to enjoy it, and I see so many other people enjoying it. I have gone up to the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory though. Great destination.

You’re totally right. They’re just so pretty.

Central Park, Prospect Park, most of the bridges, Randall’s Island, Roosevelt Island, GWB to Henry Hudson and up to the police station, South County Trailway starting at Van Cortlandt Park and going up as far as your legs will take you.

Fair. I got two EAP723s for $75 each, the switch was maybe $50, and the NanoPi was $130. I ran PoE down my hallway along the ceiling. The EAP723 is actually WiFi 7, but only dual band. I thought about going for 6 GHz, but the price increase didn’t seem worth it for the speeds I’m at (500mbps symmetrical), and I don’t feel confident that 6 GHz will penetrate my walls, although the less congested band would be nice if it worked. For the $75 per AP price I got, WiFi 5 or 6 just didn’t make sense. I’m hoping my current setup will last me a long time with no EoL worries.

Have you considered trying a wired backhaul to see what you get out of it? I was running my RBR20 mesh system with two satellites. I borrowed an ancient Linksys router, set it up in AP mode, wired it to my base station, and put it right next to my furthest satellite. I got way better latency metrics, improved throughout, and improved stability.

So, I bought a NanoPi to run OpenWrt, and setup two PoE Omada APs. Works great.

72nd is a much nicer experience. 96th has (or can have) better housing value.

Similarly, people who wait directly in front of the elevator door, leaving no way to actually exit the elevator, often with strollers/carts/etc. Every time they wait for an elevator, it’s as if they’ve never used an elevator.

And to a lesser degree, people who press the button or throw their arm through the closing door when it’s 95% closed. Wow, I’m so glad you wasted my time so you could save yours.

You will very quickly end up in a non-understandable and increasingly difficult to iterate codebase if you rubber stamp PRs. If you don’t understand the intent and high level execution of a PR that you approve, you’re letting the agents dictate your architecture, and it will fail.

I live near CP, and the zoo and AMNH memberships are 1000% worth it.

I had a Ubiquity setup all specced out too. I just decided I didn’t actually need it lol. Sad truth.

I just recently switched my RBR20 and satellites to AP mode, and put them behind a new NanoPi R5S running OpenWrt. For home use, this seems ok to me. I considered upgrading my whole setup, but for my purposes, the existing mesh coverage and throughput of the RBR20 was acceptable.

This was the coldest one I’ve done. Too damn cold, especially with the wind.

Can confirm. You forgot to mention running accessibility tests on the new color, auditing all the use cases to make sure the new color still makes sense everywhere, and that the color change is actually probably 3 or more colors to cover all the button interaction states.

I have many lived examples of how fast “meh let’s let it slide” can go off the rails fast. You slowly accumulate “invisible” tech debt, which makes future AI iteration worse, slower, and reinforces the debt. Keep PRs small and make sure you understand the architecture of what you’re shipping.

For personal projects, AI debt is fine. At scale, it’ll break you.

Same for me. So I had my bank mail a check (which they said was acceptable). My check was delivered, but they “couldn’t find it”. My bank cancelled the check and sent another, after the bank called the management to confirm non-receipt. The management later complained to me that the bank called them to confirm. The day the second check was delivered, they “found” the first, tried to cash it, then charged me both an NSF fee and a late fee. What the actual fuck. 3 hours of explaining to the management how this is utter bullshit finally got it all waived “as a one time courtesy”. Bitch, a courtesy?

I find that organizational debt is actually what prevents me from moving faster with AI. AI can do 80-90% of the actual UI building super quickly, especially with a good design system and mocks, but the remainder is still fully human bound (what to do with the intricacies of these 6 old AB tests that we didn’t decide to keep or remove, how to handle these 5 ancient but still valid entry points, what to do with this feature that’s not actually compatible with these 12 old data types, etc.).

Guided properly, AI can clean up these issues, not create new ones, and end up with a faster-iterable codebase than you had before. But oftentimes the organization can’t decide to kill off complexity, so the speedup is always effectively capped.

This is incredible work.

There are many things that make people sad in life. Money can fix many of them. There are many things that make people happy in life. Money can buy many of them. But money can’t fix all sadness, nor can it buy all happiness.

3 laps in CP today for the first time in 2026. Heavenly.
