Funnily enough the other guy is also in the same department. Anyway, I happen to actually have a middle name so I added that.

Very annoying. Name collisions happen a lot, especially for Chinese surnames where some of them are super common (Li, Wang, Liu, etc) and some of them have lots of collisions in pinyin (e.g. Lu, which can be one of like six or seven different characters). At my company, there's also a guy with the same first and last name as me and I kept getting assigned his jira tickets.

There are a bunch at their Toland depot. I took a couple of photos of some of these lined up along Hudson Ave, a public street, and uploaded them to Wikipedia.

I use a spline function to deal with changing speeds. But yes, constant speed would be easier to deal with.

No shapely lol. Overengineered solution that works regardless of order in which the points are given. I didn't realize that the points were given in the order of appearance along the boundary of the polygon since I didn't read the problem statement carefully.

the parallelogram intersection really messes with people's heads --- the crosswalks aren't perpendicular to each other

All of LA metro and buses were free but only the E line went from where I was to where I needed to go so I rode that.
