Charlotte's transport referendum has won.
1% sales tax increase is expected to generate $19 billion/20 years, funding:

Just with early vote reporting, Charlotte's transportation sales tax referendum is currently up 55–45%. But I caution this is just the early vote!

Trump tries to build a fake wall of inevitability around everything he does.
Today, voters - literally from sea to shining sea - broke through all that, and this is just the beginning.

I was so sad to hear about Daniel Naroditsky passing away.
During the pandemic I spend hundreds of hours watching him teach chess on Twitch and YouTube. His famous super slow “speed runs”. I learned so much from him and I’ll miss him a lot. Rest in Peace.

The latest version of MacOS and iOS is so sloppy. When they released Vision Pro as a half baked expensive thing I told Aosheng that it was day 2 for Apple. I am sad to be right. It’s so depressing to watch a company that you admired for so long dissapear in front of your eyes.

Spent some time this weekend working on a vagrant box that makes it easier to use ROS2 inside Ubuntu on an Apple Silicon Mac via VMWare Fusion.

Not sure what is more challenging trying to get ros2 work done on MacOS or trying to get an Ubuntu VM running on an M series Mac. Just pain on top of pain everywhere you look. :)
