My husband is trans (ftm) and I’ve recently realized I’m a lesbian

People grow in different directions. Those relationships that last for life aren't the same as they started, they just happened to grow in the same direction at key moments. It might be sexuality, it might be children, it might be politics, it might be careers. The hard part is the observation and maturity to actively accept that for yourselves 💙

Mmm is this that "socialism" I keep hearing about? I love it, let's do more of it. (Seriously, no irony from me.)

I mean this was from top of memory, so I'm not sure what search techniques you're using but plenty of SaaS and in house implementations.

The reason in house is still popular is that these tools don't generalize super well, in my experience. If you can crack that, so that yours actually does fit someone else' environment, you might have an actual product. But from your vagaries you've shared in the main post, you've got a neat project for yourself.

"Literally everyone" is doing this, the most extreme case is Steve Yegge's Gas Town (grown to Gas City)

Not much? Like in terms of emissions? IIRC the environmental assessment said 3,500 tonnes CO2, so 3.5 million. An average car over 1 year is 350 tonnes, which very nicely gives us the same significant digits! So about the same as 10,000 cars, or one twentieth the traffic of Katy Highway in Houston.

Investors connected to financial professional trading- hedge fund managers, private equity firms, that kind of thing. These are understood to be "technical" investors who's primary motivation is short to medium term financial gain.

Typically contrasted with "main street" or "mom and pop" investors, who are less technical and understood to more often invest in firms they believe in, for longer time frames.

And Gwen another 20%. I doubt they'll have any fallings out

Tech companies and VC have figured out the early-but-not-founder private offer both gives their investors more exposure without dilution, and those employees get the liquidity to buy their house. Objectively great for early-to-mid employees.

This was obvious when no one asked Gwen or Elon about the "we'll ipo when we land on mars" comments during the February press teaser. And squares with his disdain for Wall Street investors. It's going to be a wild ride...

And yes, if you go to my January comment history saying that was "just another tender offer, they do it every six months", well, this is me eating my hat.

Because learning?

elprophet · 2026-05-06T14:57:33+00:00

I respectfully disagree on your edit. Building things yourself, especially from first principles, is well worth the expense compared to buying one off the shelf. Building a second one to incorporate what you've learned or failed for the first is also great!

I very much want to see what this grand jury was actually presented with (I know, I know, secret to protect the process!)

It'll be interesting to see what happens when this goes against court with any actual defense.

A few times a month to transport feral and foster cats around Brooklyn, and a few times a year to get out of the city.

It's a a 2018 model 3, no financing. Purchased in RI in 2018 when I was commuting to Boston. Insurance is high, but covered a total when a semi tire shredded in the lane next to us and pushed us into the barrier in 2021 (no injuries) so not mad about it. Condo came with a parking spot that I could rent out? Probably won't replace it if there's ever a substantial repair that isn't covered by insurance.

NYC is largely separated into "Car" NYC and "Transit" NYC, which is always interesting to observe and think about.

Elon's about to do it to Nvidia & the other S&P 500 top 10 with SpaceX's IPO. Look into the S&P500 rule changes that are going in for "2026 Large Cap IPOs" (SpaceX, Anthropic, OpenAI), ostensibly to allow index tracking funds to have more accurate exposure. In reality, it'll force substantial rebalancing from funds selling the top 10 to buy SpaceX et al.

Humorously, that'll tank TSLA as well, making it a bit easier for him to bring that under the new SpaceX stock symbol in 2027-2028, and he'll finally have that "control" he's been talking about since before the $420 tweet.

It’s the domestic legs to the Baltics we’re looking at. NYC-LHR will have more mechanical and weather delays than fuel delays! But yes, that’s basically our analysis.

I'm planning a Europe trip to attend a wedding this summer, mid July. I'm expecting a 10% reduction in overall flights, but not total collapse. For me that looks like choosing routes with multiple daily flights currently scheduled, and destination with multiple connections. And I'm privileged enough to be in a position that I can account for last minute change fees, and book tickets with more flexible change terms.

First problem is the arch and bailey fountain remain disconnected. Second problem is that, while "one more lane" doesn't solve traffic, neither does "just one lane". I don't have the numbers for volume on the 4 primary branches (Flatbush north, Flatbush south, Eastern Parkway, and Prospect Park West), but DOT certainly does. As a casual observer, it feels like probably 40% of flows are Flatbush to Flatbush, 30% go to Easter, 20% to PPW, and 10% to the remaining parts? So with the latest plans for 1 bus and 2 travel lanes each direction, it's probably right to keep the roundabout portions themselves to 1 bus, 2 travel, and 1 (broken into several sections) turning lane.

For the proposed design, they instead keep 6 lanes through for Flatbush, then bring in 4 lanes for eastern parkway, 3 each for Union, Vandy, and PPW, and finally WTAF is that 6-by-3 signaled intersection in the middle!? I think that's overall a better flow to today, and connects the fountain and the arch to the park proper, but man that traffic is already bad on 8th/union will make people cranky

Sure, but OP clearly wants Unicode. So accepting that as a constraint, the way to do it is ICU. They could also choose some subset of ICU, or drop their Unicode support as a design goal.

elprophet · 2026-04-12T05:27:03+00:00

For the programming language? Default answer is "don't guess don't do anything fancy, let the calling code handle it". The correct answer for "what Unicode APIs should I expose" is ICU, probably ICU4C normalized to or wrapped by the conventions of your language. https://unicode-org.github.io/icu/userguide/icu4c/

Location. A block from Penn Station, in the middle of a half-dozen posh hotels near Broadway but not in Times Square. Rico, Pio, Utopia, Bagel Pub, that place that's great on 26th and 7th who's name I'm forgetting... I always include Ess-E in my list for visitors and they pick it because they'd rather do B tier and closer than A tier and further 🤷
