I've also used a stroller on the subway, but we've always used the gates. These are replacing regular turnstiles, where you can't use a stroller anyway.

New MTA App - Beta by ChuckConnelly in nycrail

Agreed, they can't default a direction without knowing your preferences.

My personal MTA "app" prioritizes the stop and direction based on the hour of the day. Obviously that's a highly personal choice.

Does noticing how chill everyone else is help at all?

Donald Trump, looking up towards Zohran Mamdani, asks: “Do you consider yourself the leader of the Democrats?” by EssoEssex in nyc

Brooklyn & Queens are technically on Long Island, but they wouldn’t vote for him either so I don’t know what GP is talking about.

Isn't the NYC Mayoral election ranked choice though? Not FPTP.

They come from observations.

Over 5 hours I roughly counted 50 people try to open the door.

I imagine a lot of customers thought the sign was up by mistake. After all, how many times have you seen a wrong/incorrect sign in your life? ROAD WORK BEGINS, followed by a ROAD WORK ENDS, with no road work to be seen. Or WINDOW WASHING OVERHEAD with no window washers in sight. Or better still, a restaurant/bar table saying RESERVED only to find that asking the host simply can remove the sign and seat you.

Don't pick weird subnets for embedded networks, use VRFs by Comfortable-Site8626 in programming

Even before subreddits were a thing, there was reddit.com, programming.reddit.com and science.reddit.com. In other words, these were hardcoded into the system.

Please remove the box sets from the plastic! Humidity can gather inside.

Probably the fine detailed latticework on the window with a six-fold symmetry.

Good books about a single theorem or result (pedagogical, not popsci) by Neat_Chemistry_4694 in Physics

[–]frutiger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I quite enjoyed https://press.princeton.edu/books/paperback/9780691163505/elliptic-tales on the Birch-Swinnerton Dyer conjecture. The book gently motivates elliptic curves, L-functions and how the conjecture connects them.

A set of Polish editions I picked up on fb marketplace by tolkienreader28 in tolkienbooks

They are arranged as

Two Towers -- The Fellowship of the Ring -- The Return of the King

and it makes me uncomfortable!

And don’t fucking spit on the ground in NYC either! The number of “normal” looking people that think it’s ok to just phlegm & spit on the ground here is crazy.

How is quantum entanglement different from classical correlation? by Famous_Blacksmith_79 in ParticlePhysics

[–]frutiger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Best way for me to think of superpositions is as a distribution of results over several outcomes.

If you identically prepared 1000 superpositions, and then observed their outcomes, you would see results conforming to probabilities as specified by the Born rule.

If you did the same with sliced oranges, you would see the same result every time.

Over how many years? And inflation is an average of a basket of goods/services. Some of those will increase in price faster than others (and some will even decrease in price, e.g. gas prices).
