The biggest thing I see with this is you're now blocking both left and right turns while the vehicle is moving.

If you look at something like the 511 Spadina Streetcar in Toronto which runs on a right of way (ROW). You're in one of three states: the alternate direction of traffic is allowed to move, traffic going straight is allowed to move (including the streetcar), or cars are taking left turns.

Other LRTs and Streetcars either run on a ROW or they are on their own road without other modes of transit. Similar to portions of the Nice trams, and dozens of others.

LRTs and streetcars are generally running in the middle of the lane meaning that will only block left turns. But if you have a tram (they call it a bus, but that's stupid) that's required to be on the outside of traffic it would have to stop or slow down whenever a car is turning right. And when cars are taking a right turn, if there's not space on the road due to a back up, that tram will now be forced to stop since the car will be on top of the tracks.

Given the cost of building the infrastructure vs the time saved. I don't see how you're coming out any better than an LRT or BRT.

This is if it's in local traffic. I think a lot of these issues could be avoided on highways if you're able to fiddle with the design of off-ramps. Of course, that highway would need to be two lanes in each direction.

100% agree. And not just "the two guys joking around tag" but the "we recorded this in one take and then published straight from garage band." That would be a significant improvement over the podcasts discovery tools inside of every podcasting app.

That make it a lot easier for any of the new shows coming out that are trying to be like a Radiotopia or Gimlet style show, to be discovered.

20 y/o App Academy grad here. I was 19 when I finished the program. First, I must say the program was totally worth it. This is true that you have to pay regardless after the program. It really blows. The fee was also quite a bit lower when I went (I think it was 12,000, 3k upfront) back when it was just 9 weeks. It was explained to me that people under 22 showed more of risk as they might go back to college since their peers are still in college. It sucks that they weren't more transparent, but I found it to be completely worth it.

Additionally, There was more than one occasion I was late on payments and they were always lenient on my payment dates without ever charing me interest. Should they be more transparent? Absolutely, then and now. But I found it to be totally worth it.

Neat site! Usability note, I would add something to catch all key strokes. When using the search bar(which is pretty cool looking) I started typing, searched, then I hit delete to clear the prompt and was sent back. Granted this is normal behaviour of any website, but given it's a command prompt, I'm used to it being always ready for my typing.

I gave it the benefit of the doubt that this isn't anything malicious. It seems like you were even able to normalize the currencies and distances? Are you actually checking if the email has it listed in Kilometers or Miles?

Omaha Code School 13 years ago

There are a lot of mentors and almost all of them are very involved with the tech seen in Omaha and the midwest. Some have their businesses, some are recruiters, and some are just very good programmers. To my knowledge, none of them are actually full time.

Omaha Code School 13 years ago

I came out of a coding school in New York, had a little background in freelancing, no degree, and found work in Omaha. I'm certainly not paid the salary of a senior level, but I did get a great job where I can get the experience I need.

Oops! I'll make an amendment to my post.

I meant to say it "made it easy to read the gap." But thanks for reading the post. Did you get a chance to check out the site?
