Newsflash: young medical professionals can't afford this crap either. Most of the people I know in that camp have monumental student loans. The climate of aggressively taxing high income means professionals will always be at a disadvantage since they pay half their income to taxes (in Canada at least). 350K student loan is equal to 700K in pretax earnings. Plus you gotta eat and stuff.
Why would a person ever point a taser with a laser sight at uniformed police in this country?

Yes this is a tragedy, but how are police supposed to react to a gun-like object pointed at them, in the heat of the moment?

Cops get shot also. They are nervous on the job. As we would be, in their position. Are they supposed to react to a pointed gun with understanding and open arms? I just don't think that's practical.

Continuous Discussions Podcast: Episode 37 – Live from Mobile Delivery Days
Deciding whether policy should encourage or discourage immigration is 98% value judgement. "Metrics" might be able to measure what you care about, but you have to decide what to care about first.
And yet people will still throw out the ~76 cents on the dollar figure that has been disproven again and again. Even 3% may be statistically significant so I don't see why some people feel the need to be blatantly dishonest regarding the problem.
What is a neighborhood if all the people who live in it are completely fungible? What does it mean when a city is far more enthusiastic about spending money on neighborhoods of wealthy people and is glad to neglect neighborhoods of poor people? The most substantial funding American cities are willing to allocate for poor neighborhoods is police.

> I don't think people resent a changing neighborhood so much as they resent people with different values settling down and expecting the neighborhood to bend to their preference.

Honestly, that's just wrong. People resent how the schools only get better when wealthier people move in. People resent how petty violations are brutally enforced on the poor and relaxed once the neighborhood "gets a little better". People resent how a neighborhood improving implies they, the undesirables are forced out. These are all things i've learned from people speaking out about how they feel about their neighborhoods gentrifying. Where are you getting the idea that they care about "values"?
It's funny how similar the concept of education of this bot is to people. I mean I've heard people say racist things about certain minorities, never having met them, never having experienced any relation with them, living besides them, never even actually looking at sociological studies describing them, but purely know things about them from other racists... and indeed, you'll see them parrot the same nonsense soon enough, much like this bot does when surrounded by nonsense.
I think that self-regulation is a real effect... tho tempered by momentum (i.e. Java's OOP/abstractionism momentum is huge).

Saying the effect exists says nothing about the effectiveness of that effect.
In California, real property is only reassessed at market value when it is sold or transferred. So property taxes won't increase on long-time residents who don't move. Rent control is, I believe, intended to provide the same effect for long-time residents who rent instead of own. I agree that increases in other components of the cost of living of an area can have the same effect though.
So. Four policemen put 40 bullets in somebody, and that's supposed to be "normal". What the hell?
> How stupid of people to reuse small often used functions that only do one thing well.

This is a straw man argument. The reason so many people are criticizing left-pad et al is about the cost of adding a dependency.

> trust their package manager

That's exactly the problem: you're assuming that a package manager can be trusted. The network isn't reliable, packages can changed innocently or maliciously, and mistakes happen.

The "stupid" part is pretending these have zero risk, and the part that makes some people angry is when they also have to depend on this zero-risk assumption transitively through another library.

> It's not javascript devs fault that the standard library is so piss poor

Nobody is claiming it was. However, Javascript devs are responsible when they add critical dependencies on external components. They are also responsible when they publish libraries that extend those critical dependencies to the people that use their library without a very good reason.
I'm under the impression that any zoning changes would immediately cause land prices to skyrocket making any development (say a 30 story high rise that should have made some economical condos available) too expensive for the general public. It feels like a self-reinforcing downward spiral (or upward, depending on where you sit).
xhyve isn't exactly production ready (and the main repo hasn't been updated for a while). Did you guys actually solve some of the major problems (e.g., https://github.com/mist64/xhyve/issues/86 - crash coming back from sleep) or is that an expected part of the beta experience?
What force makes people stay living in the same rented house no matter how bad it makes their life? Somehow people all across America are managing to survive despite not living in gentrified areas. Is SFBA the only place those middle class people can find a job? That sounds kind of unbelievable. Are they unmotivated to move because it's too much hard work? Afraid of losing friends and being unable to make new ones? I know these are costs but they really too high to bear?

Personally, I live in a relatively small city and my income is far higher than my expenses. I once lived in London and the two were almost equal. Life was less comfortable then but I certainly didn't blame the rich bankers for pushing up my rent and bus fares.
Because not many people own homes in the US. So if local prices go up, renters have to move elsewhere. If you own a house, chances are you still have to move because other services become too expensive for you, but at least you made a nice profit on the house. If you rent, it's a lose-lose situation.

We'd love to get your feedback on the new filesystem engine in the Docker for Mac app. It's been a ton of work to get right, and there a few corner cases in the current beta that we're squashing, but overall things "just work" for my day-to-day Linux development on my Mac using the current beta.

At this stage, pointing it to the weirdest and most wonderful filesystem stressers you can find is welcome. We'll leap on any issues you find...
The older population maybe, but the new immigration is typically a wife and children living here (going to school, enjoying subsidized health care, etc) while the husband stays in mainland China for work (paying no taxes in Canada of course).
A lot of the discussion here really isn't talking about the problem at hand.

From the perspective of Babelify users, a major bug was introduced into software they depended on. I don't know how much money in developer time was lost due to this but it would almost certainly be in the thousands of dollars.

And it could have been a lot worse. It could have been something more complicated than left-pad. The author could have introduced a vulnerability or outright malicious code, or been hacked and done the same, and millions of people would have downloaded it and run it.

Arguably, small modules are good if you control them. Maybe they are more composable, maybe they enable better testing, maybe they encourage code reuse. I am not going to argue for our against small modules.

But none of the positives of small modules matter if an unknown developer who you have no reason to trust can change or unpublish the module out from under you. It's irresponsible as developers to risk our employers' and clients' businesses in this way for a function we could write in five minutes.
Rocket vs. Docker
Very excited about this. Docker Machine and VirtualBox can be a rough experience.

Does this mean it is closed right now?
While I'm sure there's plenty of self interest at play, it's important to remember that there were explicitly racist legal practices as well. A specific example is the practice of racially restricted covenants, which literally prevents a home from being sold to a someone who isn't white:

Clash with Apple Loosed Possible Ways to Hack an iPhone
For me these two platforms are more-or-less the same from a user perspective. There're some cosmetic changes, like notifications are handled better on Android by bundling them, instead of pinging for every single one of them. Apps are usually on both platforms, same with games. iOS users at my work seem interested and impressed by the Nexus 6P, some consider the possibility to switch someday. But it really doesn't matter as long as the device get the stuff done, does it? :P
If you're using docker on mac, you're probably not using it there for easy scaling (which was the reason docker was created back then), but for the "it just works" feeling when using your development environment. But docker introduces far too much incidental complexity compared to simply using a good package manager. A good package manager can deliver the same "it just works" feeling of docker while being far more lightweight.

I've wrote a blog post about this topic a few months ago, check it out if you're interested in a simpler way of building development environments: https://www.mpscholten.de/docker/2016/01/27/you-are-most-lik...
This is a difficult question to answer. I switched a long time ago, when bash did not provide the kind of completions that zsh does. Nowadays bash is catching up.

Try these things in bash (with completions installed):

1. cd to a git repository and type "git [TAB]". Do you see a list of git-specific completions?

2. cd to a directory that has a makefile and type "make [TAB]" do you see a bunch of make targets?

3. cd to a directory that has some PDF files and some other files. Type "okular [TAB]" (or whatever you use to view PDF's. Do you see just the PDF files as completions?

4. Same as 3, but try other programs like python, perl, etc. How well do bash completions keep up with zsh completions?

I'd be very surprised if bash supports completions for programs that zsh has missed.

In general, switching from bash is very easy. Your muscle-memory from bash transfers very well to zsh. You may want to change the prompt to look similar to your bash prompt, so you'll feel at home. Translating my bashrc and bashprofile took just a few minutes.

I tried oh-my-zsh and it did not feel right for me. If this is the reason you're switching, all I can say is that zsh offers benefits even without it.

Know thy audience.

Those who own and rent to others are not looked upon favorably by those who rent. It's the Scrooge principle: A man who provides a service to those who would otherwise have no service are despised by all.

The sad thing about the opposition to the Ellis Act is how much it hinders the renting populace. By not allowing the landlord to pass along costs to the user, the user ends up losing more because the landlord is less likely to sink more monies into a facility.

Edit: If you are going to downvote me, please take the time to provide a reasoned response, I am open to hearing opposing points of view.
yes. he obviously got killed because some white dude didnt like the look of him. the gun he was pointing at the cops is not related to his death.

> being not only shot to disable but absolutely destroyed

There is no such thing as "shoot to disable" with firearms. Firearms are lethal weapons. They should only be used when deadly force is justified, and cannot reliably be used to "disable" someone apart from killing them.
From a European perspective this is more 'Death by police state' than anything else.
1. Economics is not morally neutral, it's not a force of nature that blows through a town like a snowstorm. Economics is deliberate human activity. Economic justice and injustice is a coherent concept.

2. White flight and the creation of urban slums was a deliberate policy on the part of the government and its various partner institutions. Redlining by banks, whites only suburbs, highways built through poor and black neighborhoods, tearing up businesses and uprooting families, policing policies that targeted undesirables, etc. I find it hard to believe anyone can examine the evidence and come up with such an apolitical explanation as "self-interest".
Don't people usually mention both? This one didn't. But even the full un-minified source code of this one is just a bit over a kilobyte, so perhaps the author didn't feel the need to minify in the first place.
I meant that more that I have multiple options to choose from.

Multiple browsers means there are multiple competing sets of debugging tools, each are good at some things and worse at others. For example, Firefox was among the first to be able to properly debug promises, while chrome still let it swallow unhandled errors.

After writing that, i think the reason i love working with JS is because of the choice. A lot of that choice isn't necessarily because of the language (you could easily have that debugging experience in other languages), but it's currently in javascript.

Paper works for me, too. I get intense cathartic satisfaction in drawing my checkboxes (with drop shadows)--my co-workers make fun of me.* There's value in not only having a to-do list, but re-writing it from time-to-time.

I've tried multiple software applications, from plain text, to trello, to custom software. Nothing works as well.

* This actually serves another purpose as well: in a page full of notes, my drop-shadowed action items pop out.
How do you handle your npm dependencies?
Yes, quite a few issues of that nature have been fixed (and we are planning to open-source the changes later in the year once we stabilise the overall application).

The bug above has been reported to Apple and they've reportedly fixed it in the latest 10.11.4 seeds, but we've put in a workaround that detects ACPI sleep events and freezes vCPUs just before going into hibernate mode. None of the beta testers have reported any sleep crashes using Docker for Mac recently, so if you do see anything of this nature please let us know.

Cops always say that they feared for their life when they end up shooting an innocent person. If we just take their word for it, we're effectively saying that there are no circumstances under which we can legitimately criticize the police for killing someone (because the officers involved will always say that they perceived their lives to be in danger).
This is huge! We had a lot of trouble getting fs notifications working in containers, especially for hot-reloading of code.

Our solution was to create a custom fs watcher that would look for changes in the content of the files (it's only code, and for development, so speed doesn't matter much). I have been looking to replace this with something cleaner (at least with something like Dinghy and actual filesystem events), but Docker for Mac is likely the way we'll go.
My goodness. This is some of the best news from docker this year and we are still just getting started. Packaging various hot reloading JavaScript apps will finally be possible. Gosh. I can't begin to say just how excited I am for this.
I've tried many TODO apps, and apart from my Inbox being a (small) TODO list, I just maintain a tmux window called "notes", and it's literally a large file I type into via vim daily.

I never remove notes, I just add a new header for each note I need to take. These notes are eventually moved into actionable items (Trello is good for this), or if the task is quick and small, I maintain a generic "TODO" at the top of the file and delete that line item when the task is complete.

Keeping it simple just means I don't think about it, and actually get shit done.

It is true that this case has the signs of unnecessary, racially-biased police brutality written all over it. It is also true that gentrification in SF is causing serious problems and culture clashes.

But I think it's unfair and quite a stretch to take this example and say that 'gentrification' is directly responsible for this killing. The underlying problems here are racism and police brutality, which in this case are correlated to, but an entirely separate issue from, the sudden influx of wealth.

> Why would a person ever point a taser with a laser sight at uniformed police in this country?

this is why police continue getting away with it. there are people out there like TheMagicHorsey who just believe everything they say, no matter how ridiculous or nonsensical.

upon hearing something totally and utterly unbelievable, he thinks "this guy was crazy", instead of "the police are lying their asses off to cover their own ass, who you gonna believe, cops or the dead guy?"

and bless his heart, that's probably because he's never had to deal with the police in any meaningful way. good for him. must be nice.
I'm not talking about packaging node libraries for developers. No node developers are going to use system packages to install their libraries. What I mean is packaging applications written in node for end users.

For example, you can install Wordpress on Arch with `pacman -S wordpress' and you'll have a managed wordpress installation in /usr/share/webapps/wordpress. Then you just edit some wordpress config files, set up your http server to serve php from that directory, and you have a wordpress blog.

It would be nice to be able to do the same with Ghost.

He got killed largely because some white dude called 911 for no good reason. (I mean, we're talking about someone who's so clueless about what a city is that he thinks that anyone who's brown is likely to be "foreign".) We have no evidence that Nieto pointed the taser at the cops who shot him.
Thats the whole point. The victim worked in security - he knew about police work.

So either the police was lying (as one witness said) or they did not identify themself as police
