I took a Lyft from Soma to the Marina last night at 5:30pm, which is pretty close to peak weeknight traffic. It cost $14 and took 17 minutes.

The Muni bus would have taken 31 minutes according to Google Maps (with much higher expected variance, based on my personal experience) and would have cost $2.50 (or $2.75 if I didn’t have a preloaded Clipper card).

Because of that expected duration variance; the probability of sharing a bus or bus stop with a profoundly troubled, violent, or dirty person; and the fact that the difference between $2.50 and $14 is not very significant to me; taking a Lyft was an extremely easy decision for me.
Please show me the proper typing of the map transducer in TypeScript. I'm willing to learn.

Time will show what unknown challenges and problems http/2 carries. So far, the protocol is studied mostly by google(and less by cloudflare), there is limited research by independent parties.

From the article, i see that the author heavily relies on the chrome devtools to demonstrate the performance benefit, relying on chrome connection statuses.

My spdy and http/2 tests in 2016 did not show much imrovment in perceived load speed for our e-commerce site. optimizing delivery(for us - caching the pre-rendered javascript components and pre-loading some ajax) yield better results. ymmv.
This comment is kinda snarky and borderline facetious but man, I can't help but agree. After 10 years hanging around this site if there's anything I've learned it's that I am nowhere fucking near "max geekiness". I couldn't stick with a project like this for 6 hours, let alone 6 years. And yet literally in the last week I've been (gently) ribbed for being nerdy enough to think reading books for pleasure is an acceptable leisure activity.

This is orders of magnitude of geekiness beyond anything I could possibly accomplish, and I mean that in the best possible way. Kudos to the author and thank god for the real nerds.
Those tools have a negligable learning curve because once you set them up, you can simply forget about them and write JavaScript code.

Interestingly, the platform design of ProseMirror is one of the key reason which drives me to Quill in one of my side projects. Don't get me wrong, if your goals mostly align with ProseMirror, it's a perfect tool, but if you want to deviate with ProseMirror in some aspects, the coupling design between different ProseMirror packages is actually a headache. On the other hand, Quill feels more like a simple library targeting exactly one use case.

In addition, I feel that Quill's delta format [1] is much more elegant and easier to work with than ProseMirror's changeset [2], especially if your architecture uses a different language that's not JS.

This is a depressingly provincial attitude. Public transit is not available within ten miles of a majority of the US population. Widen your perspective.

WRT #2 it's certainly not supposed to be that way. But if an H-1B worker quits, they have something like two weeks to find a new job or else be deported on the spot. In other news, mysteriously, H-1B workers tend not to quit even faced with low wages and poor conditions.

No, I read it. It's nonsense and your numbers are bad beyond any excuse of napkin-math. They're plain ol' down-home gibberish.

[edit] let me demonstrate: the most basic problem is that your numbers in various categories do not measure up to one another in any way that makes sense. -3 for writing typings, +0.1 for catching 10-20% of bugs that would reach production. Either you're having way more trouble writing types than you should or you have so few bugs that catching 10-20% of them isn't very valuable. Plus, read the thread. You just ignore all kinds of benefits of TypeScript (mostly benefits of having any, even half-assed, static type system on top of JS, period). If you like something else, propose it and compare TS to that. You're saying it's 1/10 better than vanilla JS with TDD + code review but 30x worse in terms of that benefit than JS when it comes to time spent adding types. 30. Times. That's just one example, the whole chart's a wreck in a similar fashion. Plus I bet if you ask on this thread folks will be happy to suggest + entries you simply omitted. See the ones suggesting (correctly) that static types make both TDD and code review, which you like, a hell of a lot faster.

In the worst case if some little thing you want to do won't work well in TS or is too expensive to type properly, write that piece in JS. Yes, that's terrible. [pause; significant look; raised eyebrows]. But it's not worse than JS. Obviously. And you can do that in TS. It's part of what makes it such an incredibly easy sell.
My YouTube suggestions list is filled with videos I just watched in the last few weeks or months. Along with the some new videos, but remarkably many already watched ones. They are not labeled as such.

I suspect I blocked some cookie or changed some setting they didn't want me to change, and this behavior is deliberately calculated to be punitive. It's not very user friendly.

Or, the YouTube developers are just not very smart. Either way, it doesn't look good for them. This would be so easy to fix. If they don't know how, they are welcome to reach out to me and I can give them some ideas.

Yes it did occur to me that some users might like this. But they way they have it set up is very confusing and suboptimal for my needs as a user. I will admit though it may be serving some business need that they have, like saving their bandwidth by re-serving me old videos from my cache.

You cannot change your skin color, you can change your citizenship though. And it's not just America, you'll run into these restrictions in every country, often times more strict.
Practically speaking you’d be shifting the burden from the people who can afford it, to people who can’t. I see similar arguments from people who resent paying into social security and other things. It seems to be a combination of ideological convictions, lack of empathy, and unawareness of why these kind of measures were created in the first place. Ignoring all of rhe knock-on effects of a massive road network and it’s upkeep, it’s ability to reduce the cost of freight, and subsequent lack of rioting from people who couldn’t afford milk without those “subsidies” seems ultimately short-sighted.
I think statistically managers start at about 28 for smaller companies.

I have a huge breadth of experience with projects both big and small. Also where I live, fluent English isn't so common. Also have some professional training experience.

I do blog a lot of stuff on management on Facebbook. Crazy theories and books to read, to the point of obsession, because I'm frustrated at how many projects are managed. A lot of people recruit me from there.
The reason why this gets more attention in Go than elsewhere is because it's unusual for the kind of language Go is (lot lower level than something like Erlang). Everything else in Go is really "better C so long as it's not C++", but goroutines are an experiment in their own right.

I just bought a 2013 PiP and knew the EV range was < 10 miles.

What I like about it is:

- on my 65 mile round trip commute I get a +10mpg increase if I leave home with a full charge and without charging at work.

- I get the lovely EV driving experience for the 4 miles in and out of the city I work in.

- I'm not contributing to poor urban air quality.

- Its fully charged with 10 miles in 90 minutes. At weekends I frequently find that I make more than 30 miles of all-EV journeys around my home town.
I think his rhetoric has a lot to do with how people view it now. But the funding that you’re talking about to repair and expand existing barriers was already used and the barrier exists to my knowledge. Dems also offered billions for immigration and border security that he rejected because he specifically wants a wall, despite the fact that it won’t have the greatest impact which is visa overstays.
This turned me on.
That is legendarily bad.

I think I'd just be obnoxious and say cancel cancel cancel cancel cancel cancel cancel cancel cancel cancel cancel cancel cancel cancel cancel...

This is insanely well-written.
I'm just engaging in common-sense ethical reasoning. It seems wrong to require that all whites employ a much higher bar for hiring blacks. And, I have the same intuition about requiring all Americans employ a much higher bar for hiring foreigners.

Also, I think there is a big difference between allowing discrimination (which is only wrong if you belong to a protected class) and requiring discrimination, which is pretty much always wrong.

So its one thing to argue about whether employers should be allowed to discriminate against foreigners (or blacks). There are some good arguments on both sides. But I don't think there are any good arguments in favor of requiring that employers discriminate against foreigners (or blacks).
When the majority is only 51 to 49, "quite high" doesn't cut it. Even with the VP to break ties, it only takes two defectors to lose. Commonly there were three defectors.
Open borders simply means people can travel freely, similar to the Schengen Area [1] in western Europe. It doesn't mean they have some sort of automatic dual-citizenship or whatever it is you're talking about here.

> Maybe parents should have a separate login for their kids that doesn't have the CC info saved?

In at least one case in the article (the 12-year old in Phoenix), the kid apparently did have a separate account; but he asked his mom to let him use her card for what he thought was a one-time purchase, but Facebook stored the card info and behaved like recurring payments had been authorized. (Also the game appears to have been highly non-transparent about when such charges were being incurred.)

So while I agree that the mom would have been well advised not to let the kid use the card for even that one-time purchase, I think that pales in comparison to Facebook's conduct.
Maybe they could have a button or link to disable that specific category or advertiser from ever showing up again. Make it easy to use on the spot - that would put a bit of flexibility in users hands. Same for automatic feeds and content suggestions.
People who are interested in this topic might want to read Richard Pettigrew's "Choosing for Changing Selves":

He offers a response to L.A. Paul and a way to choose in light of changing selves. I am not sure how convinced I am myself, but it is very good philosophical work.
In normal situations yes. On occasions where you want to maximise DoF and focus stacking isn't an option (say macro shots of moving insects) it's a useful approach.

The DoF when shooting macro can be fractions of a millimetre.
Sure, but the neighboring city might be eighty miles away while a drive across town might be five miles.

>I find it weird the way Facebook seems to be using the term here.

In my experience fraudulent chargebacks for payments processed without liability-shifting authentication (3D secure etc) are typically lumped together as "friendly fraud". Regardless of origin. With digital purchases, especially fungible ones like game credits, there exists quite a lot of organised fraud exploiting "one-click" checkout chargeback SOPs.

Hey, you got your Jordan Peterson in my Time Cube!
(January 2017, using August 2016 data)
There are many parts of the country where lavish acreages are built in communities far from town (save money on the land, put it into the house), banking on the automobile to commute thirty miles each way.

SF isn't even an anomaly here- look to the coastal mountains above Palo Alto. Lavish houses on large plots of land. Yeah, they are expensive, but you ain't getting no mansion and ten acres in the heart of SF for a paltry $50M.
> You cannot change your skin color, you can change your citizenship though.

Not on your own. You need to find a country willing to accept you as a citizen. For the vast majority of people in the world, the only countries that would accept them are those where they would be worse off. So the countries that do (successfully) prioritize prosperity of their citizens also effectively lock out most people from elsewhere. The trickle of immigration is just that, a trickle - it is deliberately constrained with various rules and requirements, and it would be a much bigger stream if anyone who wanted to change their citizenship could apply (even if you filtered out, say, people with criminal records and such).
> Most likely Facebook is making more than $70/year/person from users who are willing to pay $70/month for ads-free experience.

I think you mean "willing to pay $70/year". Fine, set the price at whatever the break-even point is (how much FB thinks they can make from ads for the type of person they expect to be willing to pay for the free version). At least then we'd be able to make a choice. Right now, we have none.
What I find interesting is how long unexploded ordinance remains a threat. What I find frightening is how long we've lived with this risk, and done nothing.

What's everyone so angry about?

Having been through H1B, I think the system is designed fairly well. It's extremely hard to figure out whether a particular hire required a foreign worker. And, in doubt, the US in general always sides with what's easier for companies. So, in doubt, immigration will consider that there is more harm done if a company doesn't get the worker they need than if a US citizen's job is taken by a foreigner. And probably even more so in tech, where jobs are allegedly plenty.

As with everything some companies will exploit it, which is forbidden, but then they get outed, and then they get sanctions, and abuse is reduced...
When I was on an h1b, I was making around 60k in the middle of the country, working for an amazing startup where we were ramen profitable. My skill set was highly specialized for the job. However, I couldn’t be a founder due to my visa status and we couldn’t pay each other even basic salaries. But we did some pretty amazing stuff for DARPA, DOD, and eventually some commercial enterprises.

You would price out people like me and make it virtually impossible for me to become a citizen eventually. But maybe that is by design and I don’t mind that opinion. All countries have nativist subsets of society so it is just a normal, natural stance.

Historically, america has attracted the best minds. Historically. But maybe now the populace believes the natives need to be protected from outside competition so that they can improve. Fair enough.
I used to think the Hybrid Synergy Drive in the Prius and other Toyota hybrids was a fancy name for an electric motor bolted onto the gearbox of a regular ICE car. I’ve owned several Prii over many years.

Canada used to have its border post at the physical border. But felt that this allowed too much smuggling with the reserve all around it.

My understanding is that moving the border post had more to do with poor community relations. It became too much of a hassle to maintain it on Akwesasne land:

They itemized nine flat lies from that one article alone.
Two points.

1. I am on board with a government serving its citizens. That of course doesn't allow governments to murder foreigners at will. I humbly submit that it also doesn't allow governments to prevent a willing American employer from hiring a willing Indian employee.

2. Again, why is it okay to look out for your own citizens first, but not to look out for your fellow whites first? Your argument so far seems to be - because! Suppose I start an organization (we'll call it the KKK) whose whole purpose is to serve whites. And if the KKK then goes around preventing all white from hiring blacks, surely that wouldn't be okay.

'the jews' doesn't refer to anything specific, and has a history of psuedo science referring to it as a lesser 'race'. 'china' is almost always referenced for their manufacturing business, and it would be dishonest to leave out the reality that Chinese industrialization is very fierce to make a buck.

Even if we were referring to the people of China, in China, there is a significant problem that money is King and morals be damned in the process. Not all, but an overwhelming trend is dishonest to ignore, if not morally wrong.
Actually, I suspect its easier to get a full-body skin graft than it is for a low-skilled third-worlder to get an American citizenship.

A talented (foreign) friend of mine had the opportunity to switch to a better, higher paid role but due to the effort involved, the risk and the pause in H1B premium processing just hung on to his current role.

The H1B program itself is not a problem and in-fact is a big positive contributor to the US economy; but it definitely has issues like the one you highlighted (e.g. harder for employees to switch jobs) that should be addressed by the government to make it more viable.

The thing that would make the most sense would be to allow the First Nations tribe in question to vote on which country it should belong to . . .

The thing is that they mostly consider themselves independent. I'm not sure such a vote would get a meaningful result, and it would probably raise tensions rather than lower them.

Might doesn't make morally right but it can make factually correct.

Two parties disagree and eventually one says to the other "if you don't stop it I'll make you stop it."

This is a truth claim that can be honestly verified through physical struggle. If they win, then their might did make them factually correct. If the other side was mightier than the other side proved themselves correct when they said "no you won't."

No?

Linus has been well poised to survive the demonetization apocalypse much better than other shows by building brand sponsorships that are somewhat relevant to his prime content.

That being said, I can't stand most of his content. He tried to build a server, bought the wrong case, and thought he could take a dremel and an angle grinder to the motherboard to fix it. This didn't work, so he RMA'ed it and took another angle grinder to the new one.

His Ubiquiti and Unraid adventures are similarly ill informed, causing him to attempt things that won't work or work poorly for a short time, then fail spectacularly.

I’m not quite convinced that the effects would be so regressive, especially in the longer term. Couldn’t most national food transportation (including perishables like milk) be done with rail freight? Even if the retail costs stayed the same, surely the environmental costs would be drastically reduced (and surely the longer-term costs of climate change will be extremely regressive).

In other words, I question the premise that federal interstates reduce the cost of freight if you include the environmental externalities.
