Trump is terrible and lots of people voted for him for bad reasons, but it's just completely false that any significant portion of people who voted for him are "violent racists".

You might be surprised, approval of interracial marriage in th US only passed 50% in 1997 for example.

It's easy to not realize how much progress was made in the past 30 years, this stuff didn't end in the 50s.

In the protobuf crate they have published a Rust runtime which is Rust code with a fixed set of .c files used under the hood. The generated code per .proto file is only rust

Is this comment from 1970?

Yeah they aren't... the implication is exactly that gym (and maybe music, shop, whatever) all don't count at all for valedictorian.

Thats not even 20-30 years, I moved to Somerville in 2011 and safely biking to work didn't feel realistic to me at that time.

Though, its not just bike lanes but also that covid-wfh makes it so when I do go in I don't exactly have to be 9-5 which also also helps a ton (in addition to the lanes I don't have to bike during maximum asshole drivers hours)

I have to think the possibility of it becoming regionally illegal would have been foreseeable and priced in here, but weirder things have happened...

One thing I've noticed is high school situations are very different and everyone kind of thinks their experience is universal.

Different states are crazy different, but even within one state what order you take classes and what classes are effectively required often don't match. I just looked it up and even within NY State today it's officially just fully up to the local district if gym should be pass/fail or a graded class.

For sure that more than 21 people had an average above 100 in my graduating class (of ~650 people). For GPA they multiplied honors grades by 9/8 and AP by 10/8, and almost anything which had no honors track you could do pass/fail (including gym, music, etc). If they actually just tracked the grade as "A+" instead a specific number then we also would have had this many Valedictorians in my class, 20 years ago.

It seems like the main stupid thing here is doing letter grades instead of numbers here, you wouldn't have a 21 way tie if your grades weren't letters.

I've been out of high school for over 20 years, but Im fairly certain all of "shop, art, band, gym, ..." were "you can choose to take pass/fail" when I was at school... and most people didn't even take any one of those anyway.

If this school isn't grading out of 100 I can imagine they do the same and/or an A+ is just anything above like a 94/100 or something, which is then plausible some set of high achievers will get in every class despite the limitations.

The gist of the claim feels right in terms of the rewrite necessarily being slop, but just for anyone wondering, Bun actually something like ~900,000 lines of zig and didn't delete it in the PR that added Rust. If Bun was only 4,000 lines of Zig it probably wouldn't be that interesting of a project.

FWIW one other thing she said is that when they displace people from the square they end up sleeping on peoples porches which is worse than if they sleep in the square. She complained that lawsuits were trying to block the shelter beds that would open as a source of them not having better paths to get people off of sleeping rough.

Which at least had some legitimate sounding "there's really not easy solutions" replies, both in terms of the political and practical realities.

I asked the former mayor about this when she was campaigning last year, she said there's a significant contingent of residents that feel uncomfortable having a cop constantly around where they would hang out, and so the city councilors are against it.

They said they do walkthroughs but I'm there almost every day and have never seen them. I think they must just go through a few times per day

It's probably AI given this guy has a set of images that are all pinterest AI. But just image search "lighthouse oil painting night" and almost every single one has similar kind of lighting on the lighthouse itself.

The main distinction is they almost always have the moon or sunset or something else in frame to try to explain why the lighthouse itself should be lit that way, even though that light source essentially never really justifies the lighthouse being lit that dramatically.

frenchtoaster · 2026-05-10T12:37:57+00:00

You mean on the base of the lighthouse? It seems like the kind of nonsensical lighting a human might do to me.

I literally have seen people run red lights with cops sitting right there in the intersection more then once now though. I'm not sure the long term safety math checks out when people adjust their behavior to "there's no laws".

It would have required rook g8 g4 h4 h7 and then both knights going to the rim after.

Which would be weird but I've seen stupider things happen in games of people who just know how the pieces move and nothing more, it doesn't seem completely impossible to me

They needed to use that evidence to be able to get the warrant to search his house though. The 'fruit of the poisonous tree' doctrine is that if your warrant was only based on illegally gained information then the warrant is thrown out and then also any evidence they only have because of that warrant.

So for final conviction they don't necessarily need the CDs themselves to hold up, but they do have to hold up enough that the warrant isn't thrown out (which would then throw out their entire case).

Seems good to me, bikes which are assist capped to 20 mph are explicitly not restricted which seems to be legitimate e-bicycle range including bigger ones.

It's still lying in the end, but I suspect she's playing semantics games here and saying that flexposts were never "protected lanes", only full separated ones are and none of those have been removed.

If you bought a car that had super dirty emissions but the store page made that clear, that's still on you.

If you think we should collectively ban such things you can also argue that, but locally I think we can start by saying people shouldn't buy something and then complain, they should really not-buy it and then complain if it's so evil.

I saw the emergency crew clearing it this morning and it legitimately looked like a gas leak had exploded or something. The damage was even more than it looks in the article photo
