  • No, car-centric design is everywhere. North America is especially egregious, because of the power of automakers here, low infrastructure complexity at the time of automobile dominance, and privately owned, small scale rail/cable car networks that were bought up and destroyed by auto companies in the 20th century. Plus economic incentives to drive the creation of the suburb.

    But, like, most European cities have torn up massive amounts of infrastructure trying to make car-centric design work. Amsterdam specifically is a “bike” country because of anti-car-centric design they embraced in the 70s, rather than something that they’ve always been.




  • Someone at work sent me a docker admiral project that uses an agent to spin up the environment. Literally wrote a README (well, copilot wrote it) that is to be fed to the agent in order to start the service. It was the most aggravating shit I’ve seen in a while. And all it does is run install on the projects and then run the dash script.

    The round earth viewpoint is very boring to discuss. It is round, obviously, but anything fun about that feels like math to talk about. A myth about a flat earth feels mystical and like you’re in a secret group. There’s an appeal in believing something that skeptics have a hard time understanding. I know, I’ve been both in my life, and the struggle is real. (Never a flat earther, though)
