Say what you want about BBEdit no longer being useful in the modern era, but whenever I have to work with a multi-megabyte file that my IDE chokes on, BBEdit can open it no problem.

The API is only for apple devices, right? Web apps that uses Dark Sky's API (like the gp's webapp) will absolutely get killed.
Edit: I was wrong. It has REST API and access from other platforms are allowed.
nope, it has a REST API. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/weatherkitrestapi
I know people who are already using it in random python scripts and whatnot, e.g. https://sixcolors.com/post/2022/06/adding-apple-weatherkit-d...

So with MetroCards going away the privacy implications of this are pretty big.
Check out this thread on Twitter with more info:

Highlights:
OMNY is not a project of the city. It is a system
operated by the private organization Cubic
Transportation Systems. Cubic has quietly taken over
the monetization process of the majority of
major US and western EU cities
OMNY says they won't disclose your data except
for potential sharing to law, "safety", and
anti-fraud related entities, "affiliates and
subsidiaries". OMNY is owned by Cubic subsidiaries
include military service providers, & cos that
serve the international intelligence community
Cubic is owned by Veritas Capital. Veritas Capital,
among other things, helps run the DHS's biometrics
database. Their CCPA statement says they collect
and share information collected from "portfolio
companies" that includes Identifiers.
MetroCard was also created and run by Cubic, nothing new here.

Haha yeah. Maybe re-do your marketing on this one.
It took Apple well over a decade to support a basic, essential function required for webapps to be able to have elementary cross-tab capabilities. Apple kept the web down on this one, super super hard. Absolutely brutal punching down. They mercilessly said they would not do it, that it was not going to happen. And that kept the whole web down. iOS said no. The titan has spoken.
They did have it in Safari, and they took it out. There was a webkit bug open since 2015 asking them to put it back in, finally closed earlier this year.

Road Guy Rob did a video recently about a failed edge lane road experiment. Seems like a good idea to me as long as car traffic isn't too heavy.

Not clear which emissions are being offset. Although, relative to ICE racing, the bar is low.
most emission from ICE racing (at least in the high level series where they do a lot of traveling) is from the planes and ships that transport the team members and equipment, and I imagine that's the same for Formula E
Similarly, https://favrd.it has been posting the top tweets of 2009 (as compiled by Favrd, RIP)
You'd just have to find an empty value Metrocard (that wasn't previously bent for this trick), make a partial vertical bend in the magstripe track in a certain area, then swipe a few times and the turnstile would let you in on the swipe following display of the "Swipe again at this turnstile" message.
I think it had something to do with causing difficulty writing to the magstripe track, and the system generously allowing entry if it couldn't determine the last write state of the card, before the whole card got revoked? Or something along those lines.
