Missing Large Housing - Alfred Twu - Medium

Missing middle housing — fourplexes, townhouses, etc — is great for most places. However, in places like Palo Alto, where land is north of $20 million an acre, it’s time to look at Missing Large…

What will happen if we’ll RETHINK our street corners?

We'll realize that until now, we've made them too car-centric. Street corners are designed for fast driving, which means pedestrians have to risk their safety just to cross the street.

But if we’ll rethink our street corners we’ll get

■ More space for pedestrians
■ Shorter crossing distance and time
■ Greener spaces
■ Safer Streets
■ Beautiful street corners

Intro 870 + 871 from CM Althea Stevens creates an advisory board and map for crossing guard deployments

After several years of messing around and getting side-tracked, I'm happy to have finally finished a Minimum Viable Synthesiser.

At some point I should stop designing modules and actually make some music with it...

Undefined behavior (UB) is one of the most misunderstood programming concepts.

It's much more dangerous than most people believe. It can wreck your program even if the code with UB is *never called*.

Here are the most common falsehoods people believe:

Falsehoods programmers believe about undefined behavior

All kinds of reasonable-sounding beliefs about undefined behavior are wrong. Let's go through them.

The reason I stopped creating new open source projects was because I couldn't afford to maintain them.

I was expected to not only share my work, but continue adding new features, docs, and providing support for free, forever. It just wasn't sustainable for me.
