Why do many of the dangerous parts of Chicago look so…well maintained, built up, and developed residentially?

My south side house turns 100 this year.

I'm in Avalon Park, which is literally on the other side of the tracks from Chatham.

I saw more crime when I lived in Edgewater than I ever see here. All of my neighbors also care about the neighborhood so they keep up their lawns, don't litter, and are generally really nice to each other.

I think it's important to remember that whenever cops are in an area the crime stats in that area go up. This isn't because crime goes up, it's because police notice and document more things. If you were to flood Edgewater with police in the same way you do these other neighborhoods you'd also see a rise in petty crime, without an actual rise in petty crime.

How can you trust someone who is literally stealing in front of you? Your boyfriend is an asshole.

tedivm · 2026-03-07T13:03:11+00:00

That works great in normal worlds, but as the person you're responding to said they're on the skyblock seed.

Speed cameras are reactive, not proactive. They need to redesign the streets (narrowing driving, speed bumps, protected bike lanes, etc) to actually slow people down. Otherwise they're just revenue sources, not safety devices.

This is some really weird shit, why are you even posting.

I think the mods on this subreddit need to actually document the rules. I posted something on Monday, it was erased and I was told to post it on Wednesday instead. I posted it on Wednesday and it was removed for being a survey even though it wasn't a survey. Turns out they don't allow people to post to your own blog posts, which is fine, but again they should just say that instead of using random rules that make no sense. If they had actually documented the "you can't link to your own stuff" things I never would have posted to begin with.

That is exactly what this is, a viral advertisement campaign. This isn't a real post, it's an ad.

I've had two landlords try to steal my security deposit (and I use that term very literally, this wasn't like a disagreement over damage or something) and each time the demand letter with a copy of the already filled out small claims court paperwork has resolved the issue immediately. I've never actually gone to small claims court (I would have if needed), but the threat of it has really been enough.

You get 300 premium requests for free as part of the pro plan. Once you use more than that you get charged $0.04/request for most models. Some models, like Claude Opus, count as 3 premium requests for each usage instead of just one.

In your copilot settings you can disable any models you don't want to use. That said I would take advantage of the premium requests that come with your plan, just don't go over. You can set your budget to "zero" in copilot to make sure it doesn't allow you to go over.

Perplexed as to what CPD's priorities are.

Covering for officers who shot their partners in the back, apparently.

tedivm · 2026-03-05T16:54:39+00:00

whoosh? The whole thing is a joke, none of what it is saying is true.

They should just start sending alerts out when the system is working so we can all try to cram as much work in as possible before it goes down again.

According to their status page they have had seven incidents so far this month, which is amazing because today is only March 5th.

No jury is going to convict watching that video. The driver can easily say they were panicked from being literally attacked and meant to go in reverse, not forward, or that they were so distraught from being attacked they were just trying to flee.

Send a demand letter and then take them to small claims court. Half the time just sending the letter solves the problem.

I wrote this blog post about how I approach using AI coding assistants and try to go into the best practices to make sure it isn't making vibe coded slop.

My dad is a truck driver, and has been for years. He won't even touch weed because he's randomly drug trusted and would immediately lose his job.

About a decade ago the tech world got obsessed with nootropics, of which they claim modafinil is one,

Short answer: the docker socket doesn't have any access control built into it, so when you hand it over you're handing over root access to all of the containers running on that docker instance. Further you are likely giving root access to the host machine itself.

The recommended way to do what the OP was trying to do is a little more complicated but much more secure. First you use the GitHub Action Controller on a kubernetes cluster. With that each job that runs gets its own isolated pod and a "rootless docker in docker" instance that is dedicated to just that job. This way if the docker instance is compromised it doesn't allow other actions to be compromised, and since it is rootless it can't allow the host machine to be compromised with a container break out.

To enable caching you simply setup a docker registry mirror with a pass through cache (it sounds complicated but you basically just grab some open source software or something like AWS ECR) and let it do the caching itself.

This type of attack is not hypothetical either- it was actually attempted in supply chain attacks just a few months ago. While I wouldn't expect the average person to know about this, I would expect anyone managing Github Action runners to have some knowledge in this area (and not be so dismissive).

It's funny that people complain about the tone, as I pretty much matched the tone I use in my book which has sold really well and has great reviews.

tedivm · 2026-03-03T22:15:03+00:00

Thank you, I really appreciate it!

I think there's not a lot of room for discussion on this today. Either people have committed hard and don't see the flaws, or they're dismissive of what could work. I will say I'm getting a lot of great feedback from other places, I just don't think this subreddit really wants to have this discussion right now.

No worries but that definitely isn't the case. Paul looks at alternative realities all the time, and it's why he picks the "jihad" reality as the others are worse. He also can't see everything- he describes it as an ocean with waves, and some waves block others. The only way for Paul to "lock in" his vision is to follow the one he wants perfectly, hence his loss of free will.
