Unfortunately I don't have a good way to test on Safari. I'll see if I can find someone to help me with that.

The issue seems to be the webp format. I was also not seeing images on an old firefox version. You should use a picture element, so that you can provide working fallbacks.

> I predict that in 50-100 years we'll look back on the age of the automobile as one of the biggest mistakes in urban planning.

I think that's a very hyperbolic prediction. I think elevating the automobile to the detriment of other forms of transportation will be viewed as a mistake, but the automobile itself is no more a mistake than the horse and carriage were.

> My dream is that one day most streets in Manhattan will be closed to car traffic and replaced with green space full of trees, flowers, children playing, and usable public space.

When was this ever true in Manhattan, and why do you think it would become true just by getting rid of cars? Crowded city streets predate cars by centuries.

0x14c1de72 · 6 years ago
There is a difference though, centuries before cars they didn't have trains/metros/drones/airplanes so the streets were the ONLY venue for transportation/logistics, thus necessary.

That said I don't believe a city without cars will work unless it's planned for that before building. Basically all everyday logistics would have to be underground. Obviously it would only work for very densely populated areas.

I'd like to see something like that though. Small densely populated areas connected by trains/metros and surrounded by forests.

Lucky you. In my case, I end up thinking about the problem in my sleep, come up with solutions that are a mix between reality and fantasy within the dream and usually end in a horrible loop of the above while I desperately try to break out of it. In short, spoils my whole night sleep ( at least how I feel about it next day ). Rarely have it actually produced a successful solution!

> usually end in a horrible loop

Describes perfectly some problems I've had when sleeping. They are not really any problems I think before sleeping and even in my sleep I'm not sure what the problem is but oh boy is my brain thinking hard about it. Usually I need to reset by walking around my apartment for a minute. Thankfully I've had less and less of these nights recently.

People that use lua, what do you use it for and why did you pick lua?
0x14c1de72 · 6 years ago
Pretty much only for modding software/games that provide a lua API. If I were to create a software like that I would definitely consider implementing a scripting interface with LUA.

That's a very interesting definition of modern browser.

0x14c1de72 commented on Ask HN: What was your best interview experience?    · Posted by u/raman162
drugme · 7 years ago
The best few (spanning multiple decades) have been those that didn't feel like modern "interviews" at all.

That is, no: grilling, brain-teasers, "culture fit" tests; no pre-loaded, condescending "lemme see how dumb/smart this guy is -- because I can tell" vibe -- or other head games of any sort. And for that matter, no "script".

But rather, simply: "Let's look at / talk about your work. How can you help us with our work? BTW, I'm liking the way this conversation is going -- when might you be available?"

To keep things simple: roles/projects opening with discussions following the above model are pretty much the only ones I am interested in pursuing, these days.

What you described is most of my interview experiences and what I would actually call a modern interview.

The reason why they don’t ask you is you are (most likely) a westerner. In my experience if you are an underage looking japanese buying alcohol alone, they most likely will ask your age.

And drunk driving in japan? It’s much more common than you would think.

0x14c1de72 · 7 years ago
When I was on exchange in Japan my underage friends from joined me multiple times for bars and not a single time was their ID's checked. I've only had my ID checked during some special event like Halloween in very central areas in Tokyo.

In stores they will not even check ID's or ask your age verbally but you just tap a button that says you are old enough to buy alchohol.

Thank you and it's been added to the issue tracker! Should be included in the next release :)

I would be very careful about adding a copy to clipboard feature in a website like this. At the very least i hope you will strip newlines in case you implement this. Would be quite awful to copy something without noticing and running it if you mistakenly paste it in a console.
