For someone with no experience with SF and just looking at a map: a huge amount of the East Bay is closer time-wise to the busiest weekday BART station, Montgomery, than the western part of SF.

Even in the Sunset and the Richmond, 1 bedroom rents are still expensive. I poked around Craigslist recently and found plenty in the $2500 range. If you go across the bay, it's a little better. And, if you can deal with BART turning into a pumpkin at midnight, you might enjoy your work commute more.

Edit: this post assumes you take a job in SF. But, big companies are building more and more office campuses on the peninsula, away from reasonable public transit options. If I recall correctly, office rents in the city are actually on the rise, considerably, and it is driving larger employers out of the city under the guise of "putting our employees together to collaborate better."
Do you have any special insights into the process?

Naively, I would hope that the Bridge governing body would get the stakeholders together with medical experts to come together to decide on a sensible list. That doesn't seem to be the case, I'm guessing it's (lack of) money?
What Is Unit Testing in Node.js
Yes.
However it only works when trees grow and are not burnt after (use in construction for example).
I will try to find sources if you're interested but basically this solution (planting forest & not burning wood) does not scale.
You'd have to cover very large areas with trees (losing land for agriculture btw).
To push it further as the amount of land is limited this can't work with a scenario of growing emissions.
It's clearly interesting to mitigate the problem though.

There was no suggestion of a return to prohibition, just an increased societal resistance to alcohol’s pernicious effects.

I live in Australia, which has never had prohibition, but like the UK, our drinking culture is probably as bad or worse than the U.S.

I should know; I was an excessive drinker from my late teens to my early 30s, and it could have turned out very badly had I not taken abrupt action when I did.

I took two full years off drinking from age 33, and adopted techniques to develop emotional health that I continue using to this day, and these days I can enjoy alcohol in moderation and have no ill-effects.

There's an Australian organisation called Hello Sunday Morning [1] that supports people trying to adopt a healthier relationship with alcohol, just as I did.

They have no agenda to prohibit or restrict people's ability to buy/use alcohol; they simply offer methods and support services to help people to cease their dangerous use of alcohol.

All power to them, I say.

> “Do you think,” the professor was saying, “that you could spend two hours reading the same passage, the same sentence, even the same word? Do you think you might find it tedious or boring?”

This sentence remained with me for two days. Then I went back to the article and tried to read this sentence for two hours. But I was bored after reading a few times. I understand why. Because I got its meaning! Once I understood its meaning it makes no sense to read it again and again. So the Prof. must have meant to read a sentence you don't understand again and again until you understand it. Are there such intractable sentences? Or, maybe if I read this sentence for 2 hours I would extract new meanings.

Bacillary dysentery is common in India, and her case was extreme. Basically, the infection reached the stage where her intestinal lining was visibly sloughing off, and she told me later it was more painful than unanesthesized childbirth.

In any case, she was prescribed a single dose of a large pill for treating both amoebic and bacillary dysentery, so we're still not sure which one it was, but she was back up on her feet less than a day later.

Why should people respect formal education?

Even in many "scientific" fields, standards are so low that most published research is wrong. The non-scientific parts of academia are dominated by in-group politics and shallow status seeking. And in much of academia, evidence is less important than ideology: research and researchers are banned not because they are wrong, but because their ideas are unacceptable.

If academia wants respect, it should work on improving itself instead of trying to find a "strategy that works against populism".

I don't think that npm itself should be blamed for being too easy to use - That's a good thing in most cases. I think that the main problem is that a couple of years ago some very vocal members of the Node.js community had been promoting a hard-line philosophy around publishing and using tiny modules.

The consequence of that is that projects ended up with hundreds of tiny dependencies (and sub-dependencies) which increased the attack surface and introduced their own bugs and/or vulnerabilities.

I think that the Node.js community is wiser now. Vulnerability detection tools like Snyk.io have been useful in encouraging module authors to remove unnecessary dependencies from their modules.

Now the trend seems to be to use a fewer modules which offer more functionality that is more closely matched to the use case.

In a same vain: when producing content using latex ( in the eighties ) I had a problem that papers under construction looked way to good ( lie as if was printed) ; in order to counter the good looks of the printed paper I choose to use a typewriter like blurred ink dropped font to ensure that what was printed was a draft and still under construction; producing graphs that show intent but not precision is very useful.

Interesting. Intuitively I would expect one of the effects of the internet/computers/smartphones would be to further reduce illiteracy, since it is mostly text based, and it is more engaging to teenagers than books were.

That seems to be the case. Found some chart for France of illiteracy by birth year [1] [2]. There might be other factors but I kind of doubt that schools have improved much for generations born in the early 80s vs late 80s, while illiteracy dropped by about a third to half.

> Also, why not create multiple scala-Js projects to do what you're looking to do?

That won't help. Scala.js banks heavily on whole program optimization to reduce the size of emitted Javascript. Two independent Scala.js modules will contain redundant code including likely upwards of 100kb of Scala standard library (collections, futures, etc.)

There is an issue about webpack-style code splitting support for Scala.js somewhere on github, and Sebastien said it's doable with the current architecture, so we'll likely get that eventually, but it's not there yet.

I do love working with Scala.js - great language and great interop with JS.

Indeed, and it can even be done with HTTP/1: https://jacquesmattheij.com/the-several-million-dollar-bug/

tl;dr: a smart server can start pushing dependencies as soon as the request for a module comes in.

Even with HTTP/1, the browser will handle a response that came before the matching request.

Related: I don't recall it was djb or Bruce Schneier, but I remember, after Snowden's revelations, one of them criticized the NSA/NIST was using a "denial-of-service" technique to push flawed standards. That is, it's relatively easy to draft a protocol but hard to analyze them. You would publish a dozen of ciphers and protocols at once, then the cryptographers would busy working on some of them. Eventually, flawed standards went through without being noticed...

Interesting. I remember in the 90s there was a lot of talk about introducing a "Bit Tax" as a way for governments to raise revenue from the newly-mainstream Internet. There was also debate about an email tax.

I think the ReasonML parser and formatter have numerous issues that'll keep it from being adopted more widely.

Especially with nested expressions, the inability to find mismatched parens and braces ultimately turned my team's experiment with it sour.

The base language's grammar is said to have inconsistencies, but I think Reason's 1:1 matching while keeping older constructs makes translating very difficult. There is a tool to do so, but it's lossy.

That said, I use Reason React for a small front end project at work and sort of wish that the ppx for JSX wasn't tied to Reason, so that vanilla OCaml could be used instead.

An example of lossy translation from Reason -> OCaml:

2k for a studio in Dublin, east bay area about 1 hour via Bay Area Rapid Transit, assuming you can walk to work because BART is extremely limited for a mass transit system. 3k for a two-bedroom, so probably split the difference for a 1-bed. It wouldn't be so bad if we had better mass transit, there are only a handful of stops in SF and if you have to take a bus from there your commute time probably doubles to 2 hours. Buses suck.
We don't need to scale up if the developed countries agree to scale down consumption. Reducing commuting (working from home when possible), have taxes on airplane travel, tax goods that come unnecessarily from far away, invest in durability. This is not scyfy solutions sorry to disappoint
Excellent observations!
> I’m also not sure how much static analysis a la Rust could help the problem without accepting Rust levels of productivity.

You're implying that Rust has productivity issues, which is not true. I'd say I'm as productive in Rust as I was in C# and more productive that I was in JavaScript. Productivity isn't a problem in Rust, the true issue is the level of involvement and effort needed to learn the language in the beginning.
Google's data collection seems much more "transactional" to me. Most of what I share with Google seems to give me something in return, and I don't see obvious "leakage" of this information. Beyond whether or not my contacts have a gmail account or not, I know exactly nothing about what my contacts do with Google, or if they use it at all. I also don't see third party companies with information about me from Google. edit: I will say, I started to get skeeved out by Google when they were pushing Google+ hard, because they started having the same kinds of problems: information about contacts was popping up in places it didn't belong. It was never as bad as FB, but I'm still glad that failed.

In contrast, FB seems to just want everything, and they're much more subtle about how they get it. But worse than that, I constantly see information about friends and myself from FB in places that it didn't seemed like it belonged. Right from the very, very beginning: remember when websites would show you people that "liked" them, and your friends would be at the top? That kind of shit just screams "leakiness" and it's why even since 2005 or so I gave as little information to FB as possible.

FB's problem is that their business model requires them to exploit some users information to generate content for other users. They've been getting more and more aggressive about this over time. It used to just be your friends content, and people seemed OK with that. But as they pushed the limits further and further, it's getting too fucking weird and people don't like it.

Google isn't like this. Google shows me ads when I search for stuff about what I'm searching for. They show me ads in maps when I'm looking for places. That doesn't bother me. The FB equivalent would be telling me about my friends who also searched for this, or also went to this place (hell, FB does this, a perfect example of what I was saying above). If Google starts doing that kind of shit, that will be the end of Google for me.
This was a quite common criticism over r/Python[0] as well, saying that using C modules and then benchmarking "Python" with C isn't fair.

Perhaps it was my wording that caused this confusion, for which I am sorry, but I never meant to compare "pure" Python with C. The point I am trying to make is that, Python with C extensions can be as considerably[1] performant as C code for network or memory bound tasks.
