Life update: I'm currently unemployed due to an acquisition (decided not to join the acquiring company) I've been working on a DAW for the web. Like a baby Garageband that runs in your browser. It's starting to take shape! twitter.com/aykev/status/1…

@KathAleeninSF @feraljokes I think that's an unambitious plan for the second wealthiest city in the US and the world, but I'm not try to policy-craft something thats so unlikely to happen lol

@aykev @feraljokes Helping, at this point, would be conservatorship requiring mandatory detox/rehab before any (temporary) housing assistance.

Going to work at 7:45am in San Francisco, District 9.

Mexican Style Architecture ✨

@CowyPotter @hectorvelazhv los edificios se diseñan previstos para mucho peso, precisamente porque no sabes que tanto querrán poner los residentes en sus respectivos departamentos

@hectorvelazhv El detalle de ese edificio es que las plantas están en macetas, que indica que no estaban en el diseño inicial, lo que hace creer que el diseño del edificio y la construcción no fue prevista para ese peso extra... 🤔. no...? Es una suposición...

Este edificio es de mis favoritos de la CDMX, por más edificios con vegetación y terrazas !

@hectorvelazhv Cabe mencionar que tener sombra sobre las ventanas es buenísimo para reducir el calor Hace falta mas arquitectura así y menos cajas de cristal dependientes del aire acondicionado

@feraljokes @KathAleeninSF The problem is not looking at them The problem is the state failed them. San Francisco with less than a million people has a higher GDP that megacities like Mexico City, but refuses to do anything to help those in need

@KathAleeninSF Oh no you had to look at a homeless person are you OK you fucking demon

@EncestralZ @BastiUi If you need to delete multiple items the solution isn't faster or no animations, the solution is a way to select multiple items and delete them all at once. Repeating the same action multiple times is annoying

@BastiUi L’animation est trop longue, imagine si t’as même rien que 5 tickets à supprimer… T’as ta réponse

Il y a 15 ans, on supprimait des tickets de cette manière sur iPhone. Où est passé le fun des interfaces aujourd'hui ? Pourquoi l'a-t-on perdu ?

@AliGrids Neither. The buttons should say "Keep" and "Delete" You only need one verb (the action the button will perform) and it's clear without reading the rest of the dialog

delete project UI - left or right? 🧐

@elyeims @Handre @TrenMayaMX Sounds more like California High Speed Rail to me; it's been 11 years in construction already, "estimated" to open 2033 Tren Maya opened its first lines after just 3.5 years of construction

@Handre If the Mexican @TrenMayaMX had a building, it would be this.

The Ryugyong Hotel towers 105 stories above Pyongyang, a concrete monument to central planning's inevitable failures. Construction began in 1987 with grand promises of completion by 1989. Thirty-five years later, this hulking pyramid remains the largest unoccupied building on Earth. Kim Il-sung's regime poured an estimated $750 million into this vanity project during the late 1980s, roughly 2% of North Korea's entire GDP at the time. The original plan called for 3,000 rooms, seven rotating restaurants, and all the modern amenities befitting a world-class hotel. Construction halted in 1992 when the money ran out and structural flaws became undeniable. The building sat as a windowless shell for decades, earning the nickname "Hotel of Doom." Central planners operate blind without price signals, profit and loss calculations, or genuine consumer demand. They allocate resources based on political whims rather than economic reality. The Ryugyong Hotel exemplifies this perfectly: no market research determined tourist demand, no competitive bidding ensured efficient construction, no profit motive disciplined the project timeline. Compare this to capitalist hotel development. Entrepreneurs risk their own capital, study market demand meticulously, and face bankruptcy if they miscalculate. The Marriott Corporation doesn't build hotels that remain empty for 35 years because shareholders would revolt and competitors would crush them. North Korea's socialist paradise produced a $750 million concrete shell that generates zero revenue and serves zero guests. Every centrally planned economy produces these monuments to waste, from the Soviet Union's ghost cities to China's empty shopping malls. The only difference is scale and stubbornness.

Good evening 👋

@BrazilGera1997 Moreover, they fear being treated as non-white due to how they treat non-whites themselves There’s plenty of non-white people in Argentina and plenty of discrimination too

O maior medo da pessoa branca de um país de 3 mundo é ser tratada como não-branca em um país desenvolvido Por isso cria essas teorias pra se autoafirmar, no fundo, branco Pq sabe que só é branco dentro da América Latina e quando chegar na América do Norte/Europa, deixará de ser

Why do Mexican homes look plain, simple, basic and sometimes unfinished on the outside but super cozy and surprisingly different on the inside? They’re perfect examples of don’t judge a book by it’s covers

@Alonso_GD There's this fake "banana republic" caricature is in the American mind perpetrated by TV and videogames All the meanwhile they've carved their presidents in mountains sacred to native americans, and put them in replicas of greek temples Very American, this kind of idolatry

I hate when “banana republic” (a term associated with LatAm) is used to describe something the US is doing for its own US-centred reasons. I have a supposedly “banana republic” passport. It’s never had the picture of any of our President in it, don’t drag us into this

@wesbos honestly current GitHub is fine we just need performance and reliability

what would a "better github" even look like?

@FernandoSwan @AxPz86 hay 113 millones

@AxPz86 Ajá pero te recuerdo que en provincia no hay 21 millones de habitantes.

Estos chilangos llorones no soportarían moverse un sólo día con la infima calidad y cantidad de transporte público que hay en el interior del país. La calidad del transporte de la CDMX está a años luz de la calidad en el interior del país, insisto no soportarían un día.

@Ravenismeee The axolotl 🫶

China has the panda, Australia has the kangaroo. What does your country have ?

@Vick_Rfx_78_01 @VeroTeigeiro Yo no te estoy insultando. No te sientas amenazado, estamos platicando nadamas jaja Todo sistema eventualmente colapsa si no entra tanto $$$ como sale. El metro pierde ~$12 pesos por pasaje. Si queremos mas viajes en metro, tenemos que o subir el pasaje, o los impuestos

@aykev @VeroTeigeiro jajajajajajajaja El punto de los proyectos de obra pública es para cumplir 1 de los 2 objetivos como mínimo. Resolver una necesidad social Generar recursos para más proyectos. El metro cumple perfectamente la primera. Pero tu mente de aldeano ignorante te delata.

El suburbano al AIFA es el recordatorio de que cuando al gobierno le conviene, construye trenes para viajes diarios. Pero cuando no, manda a la gente a matarse por un lugar en un lento e insuficiente Trolebús que se construye rápido para presumir en las siguientes elecciones.

@ReyPeatonMX Wey parecen esposos recién divorciados "Si te quería 😭 Yo plané llevarte flores. Yo te iba a llevar de vacaciones. Yo quería ayudarte en la casa" Dos sexenios, no lo hicieron. Punto. Mejor que hagan obras en los estados que gobiernan, a lo mejor los perdona la ciudadanía

Se desgarran las vestiduras porque dije que este tren se planeó en el gobierno de Fox, cuando no había AIFA.

@Vick_Rfx_78_01 @VeroTeigeiro Gastar 1/5 del presupuesto total de transporte para un metro que va a cobrar solo $5 pesos es generar un hoyo en las finanzas de la ciudad. No me sorprende que no se haga metro Efectivamente, es demasiado barato nuestro transporte público. Hay que subirle el precio

@aykev @VeroTeigeiro De entrada no confiaría en un análisis gringo. ¿Ellos qué saben de transporte público masivo? Y segúndo, gracias por confirmar Baratito para el nexicanito

@VeroTeigeiro youtube.com/watch?v=p6dPQh…

@VeroTeigeiro Vi un video en un canal (gringo) sobre transporte público que explica por que es una opción interesante un Trolebús elevado En resumen: la mitad de capacidad por la mitad del $$$. Costó 4% del presupuesto (2019-2022). Tren hubiera costado 9%, metro 19%. Está interesante.
