Fun lover. And by fun I mean building homes, protected bike lanes, funding transit and other things that are good for people. Also board games.

And some flight video too. Evidence for the buzz off interpretation because the picture is but a second before Hooty takes off.

I'm totally enamored with this book and tearing through it.
And recommending it to my sailor friends who will get a lot of more out of the sailing terminology than I have so far.

Before the end of this month I will have all of the key concepts in this book memorized.

Some personal news, I just got a PR squatting (at this body weight) and I'm very close to an all time PR. LET'S GOOOO

Yes! I thought through the PWW in words and then paired it with the inner product proof. I've added your proof to my personal notebook right next to the inner product proof.
Always this quote comes to mind.

If you have not seen the inner product proof, it is delightfully straightforward!
Let u and v be vectors defining the sides of the parallelogram and u + v and u - v be the diagonals. Since the inner product distributes over vector addition we have the following proof.

Does anyone have a proof of the parallelogram identity, with two requirements, no use of inner product and no trigonometry?
I would be delighted if anyone has one. I've tried but have not made any headway at finding a proof or devising my own. #MathSky

He has walked some of that back after critique. www.strongtowns.org/journal/2023...
I still think he's too anti-automated enforcement. Redesigning roads is better (if we had unlimited resources), I think we can all agree on that.

I just went to his account to block him. But I gotta say it is honestly very funny that he thinks it is classist to assume most people don't know what empirical evidence is. I assure you, most people do not.
And it is funnier considering the fact that he is mostly allergic to empirical evidence.

This is a harrowing read, but it's well worth your time. Resolving myself, once again, to do more to end homelessness. It is urgent that we build more housing.
