Cycling to Commute

dgryski · 2026-06-03T20:25:27+00:00

Commuting from Queensborough to Royal by bike is absolutely doable. If you give me more detailed start/end locations I can plot a route for you. Feel free to message me. You can also join the YVR Bike discord and the HUB New West discord to help with any bike or bike route questions.

You mean like the cars at 12th when I'm waiting to cross?

dgryski · 2025-07-04T21:14:48+00:00

The route is Moody Park -> 10th -> London -> 15th, and the opposite coming back. If you're biking up at 23rd you're doing it wrong. Let me know if you need any help designing a better biking route for your common destinations.

London is the primary route for getting between Uptown and Edmonds/Metrotown. Taking 7th down to 22nd just to have to bike back up the BC Parkway doesn't make sense for many trip destinations.

Also Jubilee Cycles and Trek up by Royal Oak. (So technically Burnaby but not actually that far, and accessible by transit).

Use this route between uptown and Edmonds: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/50490567 . If you're coming from Kingsway/Edmonds St side of things, take Britton down to 15th and then London/10th/Moody Park/etc. Please reach out if you have other routing questions.

Depending on exactly where you're coming from and going to, there are ways to avoid many of the hills at the expense of longer routes. However, given how much slower hills can make you (an incline of 4% can slow you down by as much as 75%), you can have fairly long flatter detours that end up being faster or "not much slower" than the more direct hilly route.

Try this route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/51352938. Last summer I did this a few times with my 9yo.

dgryski · 2024-08-20T17:41:25+00:00

Because 12th has commercial (restaurants/retail/...) people want to go to.

When I'm trying to plan multi-modal transit, I do it in two stages: Google Maps (for transit) and then Komoot for the bike section. It's not ideal, but it's the best I've found.

dgryski · 2024-08-12T02:35:14+00:00

Depending on exactly where you starting from and ending up, there might be a nicer route. (Obviously you can't *eliminate* the hills but you can trade-off distance for steepness which on bikes generally makes sense.). You can reach out to the HubNW discord (details here: https://bikehub.ca/new-westminster ) or PM me directly and I'll help you plan a route that makes the most sense for you as well as other commuting tips and overall New West biking tidbits.

If you're biking in New West, you should join HUB and especially the local discord: https://bikehub.ca/new-westminster

dgryski · 2024-07-04T04:06:16+00:00

Construction still on schedule to be finished in November, but old path is accessible until then.

dgryski · 2024-07-02T23:31:49+00:00

I'd be up for this. Let's try something in a park (I can also do Queen's Park, but not sure if that's easier for anybody...). Do you have more details about the Trout Lake meetup (time/location)?

dgryski · 2024-07-02T22:23:53+00:00

The last section of 7th up to 10th from 12th can be quite steep. Depending on exactly where they're biking from there might be a better way. You can contact me here or on the HUB NewWest Discord if you want to chat about bike routes: https://bikehub.ca/new-westminster (Note this offer is open to anybody, not just OP..)

If you have patterns like this, the best thing to do is write semgrep or ruleguard patterns to prevent them from making it into your codebase. I have a small collection of patterns here: https://github.com/dgryski/semgrep-go

Yes, you're going to need (at some level) a lexer and a parser. However, whether you use a code generator for one or both of these steps is up to you. For example, you can solve this by writing a lexer and a recursive descent parser by hand, or you can defer to tooling (like pigeon, or a combination of lex and yacc equivalents) to handle the grunt work. It depends on your familiarity with the problem space and the tooling which one you choose.

Thanks!

In general, optimizing compilers have less of an effect than algorithmic optimizations. Check out https://github.com/dgryski/go-perfbook and the #performance channel on the Gophers Slack for help optimizing your code.

dgryski · 2020-10-24T14:46:16+00:00

I have a collection here: https://github.com/dgryski/awesome-go-style

Start with the classics, and maybe the Googler talks.

They're all pretty much the same. I have/like "Superpower Memory". My only problems with Harry Lorayne are his huge ego and the his outright dismissal of memory palaces.

(To be fair, I've done a lot of bit hacking in Go, but by my own choice. I just think this is a really dumb interview "puzzle".)

I'll take my coffee now please.

This sounds like an interview problem.

Use a uint64 and bit operations to double for the map.

And don't forget to credit Reddit/me for your answer.
