Feel like it's a miss to not market these indirect-drive bikes as a 2-in-1 commuter/stationary bike.

If the pedals only power a generator w/ fancy software to emulate road feel, it should be feasible to implement a stationary "exercise bike" mode.

Would be super compelling for apartment dwellers.

If American's genuinely "loved" cars and driving, I feel like we'd see fewer drivers engaging in uncontrollable, rage-induced violence.

Three Arraez whiffs in 2 ABs should be an automatic Cy Young.

I'll have to get around setting that up!

If the goal is to have platform agnostic backups, I could see some people being cagey about letting a single platform manage those backups.

Still, platform-managed backups is absolutely a better default than no backups at all.

Nice! Good to know.

Feel like there's a need for an app/service specifically designed to create portable copies of your at:// data, either locally or in S3 or something else you directly control or manage.

I'm having trouble wrapping my head around the portability aspect.

In the hosting analogy, I have a local copy of my website files, and switching hosts is matter of uploading those files somewhere else and changing my DNS.

If Bluesky shuts down, I have no local copy to "move"... So what happens?

Two blocks North/South*

East/West a 1/4 mile is four blocks, but bus stops still tend to be every two.

It's those E/W lines that tend to be the most egregious with the overly-frequent stops, in my experience.

Gotta extend Nico. Doubt you'd get better bang for buck anywhere on the FA market.

Same for Carson Kelly.

The OA, 1899, and most recently, Scavengers Reign

I wish there were more innovation in the "solar hybrid" space. Even if solar isn't viable as a sole means of charging, it could take a decent load off of public infra.

Being able to park anywhere and trickle charge opens up some interesting possibilities IMO.

For real. In the e-mobility convo, EVs are way more a "but no" than a "yes and".

Cubs should extend both Kelly and Hoerner ASAP if they can. Doubt you'd be able to find better bang-for-buck anywhere on the FA market.

Kaegi is the best. CCAO has been doing fantastic work under his leadership.

@chicagocta.bsky.social also seems there's a lot of duplicate info between the "pay-for-your-fare" and "buying-fares" howto pages.

It may be beneficial to drop "buying-fares" since "pay-for-your-fare" seems to have much better SEO.

I'll happily donate a rewrite draft if it'd help jumpstart things.

Yeah IIRC the type-safety seems to present some challenges. From the gleam_otp doc's "Limitations and Known Issues":

> Actors do not yet support all OTP system messages, so some of the OTP debugging APIs may not be fully functional. These unsupported messages are discarded by actors.

@gleam.run's one missing piece IMHO is a batteries-included framework or CLI for multi-target projects. Wisp & Lustre are great building blocks, but wiring them together yourself presents a bit of a barrier.

For all their faults, 'rails new' and 'npx create-react-app' do wonders for adoption.
