They were enjoying the recognition that they needed to code for hipsters on fixies. Does say a lot, though: "this is the LIDAR profile of a bicyclist at rest. Code as pedestrian." "this is the LIDAR profile of a bicyclist at motion. Code as vehicle." Now they gotta go through and say "IF bike.motion(velocity) <2mph, bike.motion = bike.rest. IF bike.rest(velocity) >2mph, bike.rest = bike.motion." And now you know why I don't code.We repeated this little dance for about two full minutes and the car never made it past the middle of the intersection. The two guys inside were laughing and punching stuff into a laptop.
I propose a more robust system whereby all hipsters are required to wear special hats that emit an infra-red beacon; naturally these would have to be vintage garments with the circuitry added, creating a whole cottage industry around the production and distribution thereof.
