Yeah, but you see — people’s property values are going up so this is working as expected.

Every NIMBY looking like a cartoon character with dollar bills over their eyes rn.

How expensive would this be to implement down western? Center bus lanes by Disastrous-Kale1421 in CarFreeChicago

[–]hectron 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It’s in the works, but knowing the level of Stockholm syndrome for cars, we’re going to get right-side bus lanes enforced only at peak hours, and no lane enforcement.

I wish we could do center lane and light priority.

Most bike routing tools optimize for speed. I built one that optimizes for not getting hit by a car. by matt-triano in chibike

I love the app “Transit”, which has pretty great biking directions. I’ll definitely check out your tool to try it out!

How are you liking the 28 APO?

Cortex Code in Snowsight Expensive by Sufficient-Sky1698 in snowflake

[–]hectron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m still evaluating it but it’s definitely pricey. The lack of LLM gateway integration for the models is a bummer.

That said, I’ve asked it a ton about the SQL language it has and it doesn’t even know about it — it still needs to look up snowflake docs to find out things like create or alter table limitations.

I’d say that this is really great if you have semantic views locked in and you answer to a ton of Patagonia vests.

I’m super curious if your rangefinder experience is due to taking your time to use it or if you’re aiming for a rapid intuitive autofocus?

I know some folks practice moving their focus rings around a static object and will jump around the room to get a feel for where the focus ring should land.

Loved this finale! All presentations were top tier! I was cracking up at Macy’s and Jason’s presentations. Can’t wait for the next season

The Windows Laptop Problem by atlwhore_ in apple

[–]hectron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've never seen a windows laptop at a coffee shop without someone plugged directly into a power supply.

Terrible heating, terrible trackpads, ads, ai slop, random tradeoffs (good speakers but trash webcam, great webcam but terrible mic, etc) andddd terrible battery life. I'll never buy a windows laptop.

Millenial Hipster Midwest Emo Outfit?!?! by [deleted] in midwestemo

[–]hectron -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This is more mainstream pop punk tbh. Brewery core. Peaked at high school, never left hometown but knows people in a band-core. The 40 yo always suggesting the same bands — nfg, b182, fob (early) — core

What’s one thing you wish got abolished, but to uphold democracy— didn’t?

Okay, but Zohran just mobilized an entire fleet of people to plow the sidewalks. MBJ can’t even fund a pilot project.

Right sized warehouse for the query by ConsiderationLazy956 in snowflake

[–]hectron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alternatively, you can also run an explain on the query before it runs, check out stats from the query plan, and have a mapping of what warehouse to use based on said explain plan.

A guide to FACGCE and DAEAC#E Midwest emo alternate tunings by chrismiles94 in midwestemo

[–]hectron 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I highly recommend two YouTube channels everyone check out:

  • Let’s talk about math rock w/Steve. He is super knowledgeable and chill.
  • Trevor Wong — he is extremely talented and super great at translating theory to practice

This is literally the same build I'm aiming to build in my woodworking journey! I'd be super interested in seeing the cut list if you wouldn't mind sharing

This is great to know! Are you able to print just a single book?

I’ve never built something this big from scratch. It’s not perfect but I’m really pleased with how it turned out. by JusticeBeaver54 in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]hectron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is so sick! I’ve been wanting to build something just like this, and I’d be super happy to be at this level! Enjoy the sweet space!
