IN 1936, IN JUST 6–8 MONTHS, ROBERT MOSES BUILT 11 MASSIVE PUBLIC POOLS ACROSS NEW YORK CITY; ALL OF WHICH STILL EXIST AND OPERATE TODAY
Built fast. Built big. Built to last.

@FangYi11101 It’s because they all go to the same schools on the coasts.
Of course Harvard isn’t gonna take 10 kids from the same high school.

Chinese kids who grew up in the Midwest/South didn’t really face that much discrimination when applying to top schools — that was reserved for the Bay Area/NYC striver kids

The famous SFFA case treated Indians and East Asians as a single group. This masked significant heterogeneity: It's way harder to get in if you're Indian! In Columbia's internal admissions database (h/t @cremieuxrecueil), East Asian applicants had a 41% lower odds of admission than equally qualified White applicants, whereas South Asian applicants had 63% lower odds.

@ulkar_aghayeva Next thing you know, they’ll start teaching people how to cut across diagonals instead of traveling along perpendicular walkways.

@Crawbaddy @esjesjesj This is actually an interesting point… At 60mph, 4 seconds is 107 meters.
English
how retarded do you have to be to think that 4 seconds is "too late" for a car crash? 4 seconds is basically an eternity if you're controlling a car.
Picture yourself driving down the highway. Count to 4.
If you're controlling a vehicle 4 seconds prior to a crash then you fucked up.
English
Btw what happens is drivers see that autopilot is about to cause a crash and disengage it to try to stop the crash and it’s too late. Then tesla gets to say that autopilot wasn’t engaged

If you own a home with a basement, attic, or backyard, chances are you’ve thought about using it to earn a little extra income or as space for a loved one.
We want to make it as easy (and affordable) as possible for you to do that.
NYC recently legalized ADUs — but for too many New Yorkers, they’re still tied up in bureaucracy and expense. We're fixing that.
Our new toolkit at nyc.gov/aduforyou includes preapproved building plans and a financing calculator so you can get right to building.
If we want New York to remain a city for everyone, we have to make it easier for homeowners to stay here. ADU for You will do just that.

@AzFlin It’s performative. Yes, the AI already knows this but you want to let the other devs know that you know this too.
English
absolutely no need to include this in a .md
AI is already well aware of when to properly use useEffect
people love stuffing their .MDs with knowledge that the AI already knows
Alex Danilowicz@alexdanilowicz
Yes.

@Handre Wait until you discover the government-mandated spoons we have at home…

I want to believe this time will be different but I already see every lab being flooded by career-strivers. They will never truly build anything but their status and LinkedIn.
The faang-for-life class has overgrazed and is now migrating to new pastures.

In 2010 people working at Google would have believed Google will kill most startups when they enter a category. Case in point: Google Flights. It launched in 2011. Should have killed most flight comparison websites + travel agents. Yet today they are doing better than ever…

This type of EV-Maximization would’ve made SBF proud.

@spaghetti_codes @finn_hulse Eyyyy. I was once his TA. This man is goated for approximation algos.

@finn_hulse This is like one of the first problems you would encounter in a streaming and sorting chapter of algorithms (shoutout Alex Andoni for teaching me this)
English
i had to retire my favorite technical interview problem so it is time to ask it to my loyal followers (solution in replies)
given a stream of N not necessarily distinct integers from an O(N) sized universe, for some massive N, find a way to estimate how many distinct integers appear, only using O(log(log(N)) persistent storage
use 5 lines of pseudocode
there was a time in my life where i wouldn't work with someone who couldn't answer this

is there something like the opposite of autism where you're exceptionally skilled at reading people and love being around them, and instead of perceiving the world through categories you see it all as divinely connected and full of signs everywhere

@mornings0da Despite stereotypes., Americans actually rank very high in terms of friendliest travelers.
They’re most likely to help others with their bags, give seats to the elderly, hold elevators, etc.
English
Europeans love complaining about Americans but every American I know cares about being respectful when traveling. The only rude people I’ve ever encountered in NY are European tourists. No tipping, no spatial awareness. They’re the ones who disregard local customs when traveling
Enezia is seeing bts@aegifogur
you’ll be enjoying your day on the paris/versailles train line and then you’ll hear this agitating grating voice and it’ll be an american tourist talking the most loudly you’ve ever heard a human talk

@natssauer People congregate near the host. The host is normally busy in the kitchen or serving people. Not chilling in the living room.
Every time I host a dinner, I assign one person the job of nudging guests out of the kitchen.
English
Every time I throw a large house party i am surprised by where people end up congregating. It’s never where I plan for them to congregate.

@drvolts A few years ago UCLA did a study on room usage. I often think about how useless a porch/dining room is. Why hasn't there been more innovation around how people ACTUALLY use their space in their homes? wsj.com/articles/SB100…

@Kpaxs In my early days, someone once broke a glass and we had to scramble to clean it before legal and HR caught us doing “dangerous and unsafe” activities.
Bureaucracies can sometimes beat this out of you over time. Your job is to push back until a happy medium is reached.
English
Here a controversial take: most of the authority that exists in any organization was never formally granted to anyone. It was assumed, exercised, and then retroactively legitimized by the fact that it worked.
Kpaxs@Kpaxs
I call it the "Refrigerator Principle" Most organizational dysfunction exists because everyone assumes someone else has the authority to fix it, and the fastest path forward is often just pretending you have that authority and dealing with forgiveness rather than permission.

@tenobrus Each Devin starts a company by hiring more Devins. A pyramid of Devins.
English
who the actual fuck is using devin in 2026 man
Scott Wu@ScottWu46
Interesting stat - our enterprise customers have already done more Devin sessions (and more merged Devin PRs) in 2026 than in all of 2025. Not bad for 2-ish months into the year!

@mnolangray John Paul Dejoria of JPMS is a billionaire that lobbies extremely hard to protect his cartel of beauty schools.
They’d rather protect his bottom-line than help poor people avoid his exploitation.

In Louisiana, the Democratic hair braiding licensing bill would require 600 hours of training at a licensed cosmetology school, an annual exam, and a fee. The Republican bill would require an annual 20-question health and safety exam and a fee. Why are Democrats like this?
