Transit (transitapp.com) supports setting your walking speed, which is essentially this by proxy, and it's a great app.

This is overstated. At least as of 2017, Americans walked about 93% as much as people in France, for example, and a little more than people in Portugal or Greece. https://www.stati…

This isn't really a path, and certainly not an official trail. It's a use trail [1] that should probably get (edit: now has) an informal=yes tag [2]. I think it still counts! [1]: …

The NYC video was about Floyd Bennett Field, a former airfield that's now part of the Gateway National Recreation Area, to be exact.

You're not wrong, but part of the core problem with LLMs is that they write every blog post and README like they're writing the opening titles for Blade Runner.

You normally add bonds when nearing retirement.

Disagree on that being the advice in the US. Most basic investment advice (and target-date funds) will use a three-fund portfolio containing US, ex-US, and bonds.

Google Flights shows a “contrail warming potential” stat on each flight result.

There are plenty of times when you have to trust someone(s) else with your belongings, sometimes for a very long time - say, airline baggage, bus luggage compartment, hotel left lu…

The video showed well over a minute of manual setup time! Most dome tents of a comparable size can be set up in less time than that. Elastic cords help pull the poles together, you…

Well, relatively little of the prompt actually addresses visual design, and the parts that do seem to evoke Claude's worst impulses toward cliches rather than discouraging them. It…

You should read their frontend design skill [1], which lots of guides recommend blindly, in classic LLM cargo-cult fashion. It doesn't say what people think it does. [1]: https://g…

LLMs abuse em-dashes by putting them in places where a comma would be more appropriate. Especially as the separator before the last item in a list (in place of an "Oxford comma"). …

You give them (a scan of) your state ID, or just send in your previous passport if it’s a renewal.

The process in the US is you open an online form, type in your details, and upload a JPEG of your face! Then you receive a passport in the mail a few weeks later! I would say that …

US citizens aren't fingerprinted on entry, regardless of race(!). They don't even have the fingerprint machines in the citizen line at any airport I've ever gone through, which is …

OpenCode Zen works with Pi, etc. It's totally separate from the OpenCode harness that this article is about.

Not those issued in Denmark or Ireland, apparently [1], though I see other sources saying Denmark does fingerprint now. Most countries don't fingerprint children. [1]: https://en.w…
