my Year Of Code

@thebostonlol @ElleryKlein Teaching typing would be so much more relevant to most peoples lives than cursive. I don’t have any indication that cursive is being replaced by typing though :(

@swyx @vercel @nextjs Ah, turbopack replaces webpack, swc replaces babel. My bad.

@swyx @vercel @nextjs How does this differ from swc?

The big launch of @vercel’s conf is live: Turbopack - the Rust based next generation build tool - 700x faster than Webpack - 10x faster than Vite - 4x faster cold starts The Third Age of JavaScript is here. Available with @nextjs 13 today.

@SamHasThoughts I think this is better to walk or run vs beacon, but I fully agree this is disappointing as a viable bike commuting route. It makes me curious about the massive sky bridge by lechmere. Is that even this wide? If they ‘fix’ that design with a “walk bikes” sign I might explode.

I think Beacon St. is genuinely a better place to ride than this new "community path". There's just no way for people to actually use this little space. What an embarrassment.

@DrTaraGoddard When I last looked into it the cost for flex posts and Jersey barriers was surprisingly close. I think flex was $83 each and barrier was ~$200, but it covered the space of two posts. The barriers won’t ever need to be replaced as well.

@bikepedantic Are there any plans for a bike stand somewhere? It’d be pretty cool to have one pivot out for easy access.

@crschmidt I didn’t know about the bridge thing, but you should definitely register it on bikeindex! bikeindex.org

I learned earlier this week that when you buy an ebike, apparently you're supposed to take a picture of it on a bridge? I'm a bit derelict in my duties here, but I tried to make up for it by taking a few. (Neponset River Greenway, and Mill Pond Reservation, taken today.) 1/

@englishpaulm It’s amazing how many people do this thinking that it is somehow more secure.

My doctor at MGH just asked me to fax lab results to his office. What is fax? What decade is this?

@bikepedantic Yeah I was just about to post that. Maybe there is a thriving bullitt market in bend and they are eager to avoid shipping? ;)

@realBurhanAzeem A real estate developer?

@BenForWard3 That’s a warm caterpillar you have there!

Simon single-handedly redefining “Mr. Autumn Man” fashion

@bikepedantic What’s your secret sauce for knowing all cargo bikes for sale in the continental us?

@smellsofbikes Short term: would washers on the bolt head side help the ugliness be less visible?

The hardware store only had 3 of the m6x16 screws so I had to use a 20 and it's going to irritate me to no end until I cut it down.

@bikepedantic I support that vision. Also toll highways should ticket drivers that travel at a speed significantly higher than the speed limit. No cameras needed. If the ticketing was automatic and consistent then traffic would move within a much narrower speed band, perhaps more smoothly?

@benharvey1213 Most drill batteries are powerful enough to run a car horn off of them. A push button and a relay make it a little bit more useful.

How do I get an actual car horn on my bike

@ojc1 City paint co, violette bakery, pyara spa were the first few business names that searching the peoples names from the document brought up.

Does anyone know where there’s a list of the businesses in “Cambridges Streets for all”? I’m struggling to find it and I’m worried I might have just gotten lunch from one of them.. 🤢

@ParissAthena Don’t get off the plane ;)

@jenplusplus 100%. And the recent move to make most user events async makes everything so much slower and more fragile.

@bikepedantic @thebostonlol Weather might play a role. Even in June I hear frightened questions from people considering bike commuting about winter.

@theXSSrat This is so kind. Thank you for doing this.

Okay we did this a while ago and I want to do it again Anyone that donates 50$+ from this moment to a charity gets ALL my courses for free. I need proof, either screenshot here or email info@thexssrat.com Let's get those charities some much needed dough <3
