“We found that there’s this perfect one-to-one relationship. If a city increased its road capacity by 10%, then the amount of driving in that city went up by 10%.” One of the earliest, and still one of the best articles on why building bigger roads just leads to more driving. Call it #InducedDemand, or #JevonsParadox, or the #LawOfCongestion. Via WIRED, it’s worth a read and share.

I don't generally crosspost, but...

I don't suppose any of you are reading the privacy policy before handing over your PII inc your phone number to OpenAI, huh?
It's a very hard pass from me.

For reasons I can't fathom, Internet Archive Scholar got attention today, a mass of it, painting it as a "new" service. Actually, it has been out there for about a year. BUT....

If beautifully structured access to academic citations by the millions is your bag or desperately needed tool, especially ones that are ONLY left in the Wayback Machine, you are in LUCK. And this will be your favorite day. Try it.

Happy DEC-10 Day!

Dennis Ritchie's lost 1968 PhD thesis is notable not just for its contribution to mathematics, but for its mysteriously and impossibly perfect typesetting. And the fact that it was never actually submitted, possibly due to a snit over library fees.

Fortunately, Bell Labs hired grad school dropouts.

MILAN has approved a £200 million plan to create a new 750km network of bike paths linking 80% of the city to bike paths, & connect the city to surrounding areas. The goal is to achieve a 20% modal shift to biking by 2035.
Strategy & leadership.

I saw this on Etsy today and I can't stop giggling.

a debugging manifesto

When I was in college i got into flight simulators for a minute, and discovered there was a whole community of people who roleplay as air traffic controllers on a multiplayer version of MS flight simulator. There was specialized radar and comms software and you could sign up for classes where you learned real-world lingo and techniques for directing air traffic. I tried it for a couple weeks and realized it was basically "having a stressful job" as a hobby

anyway now I'm a moderator on mastodon

I've been programming for 40 years, 35 of that professionally. I've built my own compilers and entire game engines and I don't think I could pass a programming test for a job interview these days. We never gave programming test for RtMI, we just talked about programming with the candidate and never got a bum hire.

I think I've found my new favorite Japanese word...
