Hey @fivefourpod.bsky.social

I just had a brainstorm that CA Prop 13 violates the 14th amendment and lo and behold, so did someone else 23 years ago in "Nordlinger v. Hahn".

I suppose this isn't the spiciest topic... any chance of covering it on the pod?

Ms. 5yo rode her bike up a hill she has been afraid of

1. "This is so hard!" - while climbing
2. "I never want to do that again!" - immediately after
3. "Can we do that again tomorrow?!?" - 1 block later
4. "I'm still out of breath!" - 2 blocks later

I was in for some maintenance 2 weeks ago at The New Wheel in SF and they were struggling with an unexpected delivery of extra bikes... I wonder if their supplier saw the writing on the wall and decided to ship them an extra order ahead of tariffs?

Buy an e-bike! @newwheel.bsky.social
Bike/politics crossover: if you’re in the US and have been thinking about buying a bike/ebike, now might be a good time to buy from the inventory of your local bike shop. They’ll need the support and it’s likely supply will be constrained soon. And hey, biking would save you money, too.

Where is it spec'd that MethodHandle instances are reliably interned? Simple tests like:

```
assertSame(
MethodHandles.constant(Object.class, "hello"),
MethodHandles.constant(Object.class, "hello"));
```

fail (JUnit4, jdk21).
For class instances that are enforcibly interned, such as Class, MethodHandle, etc. This may just be your "certain low level classes" bucket, but it is possible to write classes in a way that instances that are .equals() but not == cannot exist.

Year 4 of #treebybike.

Managed to not flip the trailer this year!

When picking it up, another person getting a tree with an SUV asked me where I was taking it… Turns out we’re neighbors, going to the exact same place 3 miles away 🙃
