Cities can now achieve “what was once thought impossible”: cutting air pollution by 20–45% in little more than a decade. A new analysis has found that 19 cities, including London, San Francisco and Beijing, cut levels of both PM2.5 and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) by more than 20% since 2010, driven by measures such as cycle lanes, electric vehicles and restrictions on polluting traffic.

Had a really good day today ❤️ got excellent results on a project I’ve been tinkering with, had a lovely dinner + walk through Oakland with some of my wife’s friends, and found a conveniently located cocktail bar with outdoor seating and some creative menu items I’ve never had.
I’m… helping?

I'm not sure what you need snake oil for. No snake I have ever personally encountered appears to be in need of external lubrication.
angry? understandable. but before you send an angry @ to a stranger on social media about politics, maybe double check:

Defense in depth:

1) Write tests for the new functionality

Don’t trust that

2) Adopt the new functionality in existing API so the tests for that also get coverage

Still don’t trust that

3) Grab another team’s project, replace all their versions of similar stuff with mine even where it doesn’t make sense to, make sure their tests also still pass

STILL don’t trust that

4) Install it on my work laptop and use it for a while

I still don’t trust it but I’ve run out of test ideas so, merged 🤞
