It probably depends on where you live in SF. I was on the border between Noe and Mission. I lived there for a decade and found it very walkable. I owned a car but drove maybe once a month. I had good produce at corner stores (both Asian and Mexican), a butcher and seafood store in walking distance. Nice restaurants and parks in walking distance. I took BART downtown to work. Sometimes went to the ferry building. There was a summer farmers marker a block from work and dozens of restaurants in a one block radius. (We moved for more space and better schools.)
I’m using Ansible inside a Docker container at work, which has worked beautifully for me.
Thanks, that’s a helpful comparison!

Digitally, I use a variation on BuJo rapid logging, implemented in Markdown with plaintext. BuJo itself has become essentially scrapbooking for task management, but the basic idea of logging in bullet lists makes a lot of sense.

Markdown has three legal bullets for UL lists, which along with some sigils after the bullet/space is plenty for complex logging one line at a time. Here's the "key" at the top of each of my journals:

#### Entry Key

* Event
* Project
* Planned Task
+ New Task
- Note

#### Event Status

* ! Key
* ? Maybe
* % Cancelled

#### Task/Project Status

+ ! Key
+ ? Watch
+ ^ Tracked
+ ~ Carried
+ $ Completed
+ @ Delegated
+ % Dropped

Sample log for a day looks like:

### Friday :: November 8, 2019

#### Highlights

- This cool thing that happened!

#### Planned

* Some event
- Meeting notes
+ Action Item

* Some planned task I copied from OmniFocus

#### Journal

+ ^ Follow up on so and so issue
+ ^ Make sure stakeholders aligned

- Reached out to Coworker
+ $ Wait for followup
+ $ Schedule lunch for Tuesday

- ! Some great idea
- DJSON awesome for nested JSON
- To extract from logs, wrap with [""]

I use Keyboard Maestro macros to quickly create the header skeletons from templates as needed and I fill in "Planned" during my daily prep. From there it's just appending to the bottom. I also have Alfred workflows and other scripts that know how to append a bullet line to the journal file, which helps a lot for logging notes from anywhere.

Periodically, I search for "+<tab>" in the text file, and it finds all the new tasks I haven't marked with sigils in the gutter row. That lets me quickly move them into OmniFocus for longer-term tracking. Someday I'll script it.

For you, if you really only want notes, even simpler. It's just a day header and appending a bunch of - bullets!

But there'll always be times when it comes down to paper. When all that fails, I have a nice-looking aged-brass Fisher space pen in my front pocket and a Moleskine Cahier (the cheap cardboard ones) in my back pocket. If there's something important to catch unexpectedly the last thing I want to do is fumble with my phone. The notebook is by far the quickest option.

There are some really nice leather wallets for Cahier/Field Guide-sized notebooks, and it actually helps balance my sitting posture by having wallets in both sides. Here's an example of one wallet I bought--I bought both a Horween and Chromexcel version from this seller and they're both high quality.

If you make it nice enough to carry around, it quits feeling like a chore to do so.
It's very easy to explain. Even very weak companies that are located in "hot" cities have chance to catch really experienced and knowledgable talent. One good guy employed for 6 months can be an amazing catalyst of great changes, you can very quickly modernize process and technologies if you have passionate people on board. It does not matter that they will all leave in couple months, the know-how will stay. The "less popular" places are the polar opposite of this mindset. If talent is not easily available, you will find companies with no proper culture, stupidly old technologies and "old guard" not wanting to change much if anything.

Longer names can be seen as unnecessary and duplicating information. One has to balance between being verbose and laconic when it comes to naming in general, but judging by the lack of annotations in this case, not much care was put into it being easily readable. It may be useful to report it, once that's an issue: chances are it just seemed obvious to the author, as it also often happens to code in general, and acceptable to users.

If you see an insufficiently documented and/or straightforward API, and there's no good reason to use that one in particular, I think it may also be a good idea to look for alternatives, in any language.

> how's package management?

I think it's fine, but there are different opinions on how it should be. I prefer a better system integration and shared libraries coming from system repositories (which is usable with Debian), Cabal works fine, Stack seems to be popular, some seem to use Nix.

> Did you guys ever resolve cabal vs stack?

"Resolve" as in choosing a one true way to build/install things? I don't think so, but there is this annual "state of Haskell" survey that includes build tools, which was closed just a few days ago this year (but no results available yet, afaik), though there are the results from last year [1]. "State of the Haskell ecosystem" [2] may be of interest too.

There certainly are imperfections/drawbacks (and/or varying approaches/opinions/preferences), and it may not be a good choice for you for making a dynamic website (I think in many cases the overall best choice is the language one is most fluent in at the time), but my replies were mostly with the "I really want to use Haskell for something useful" sentence in mind: being exposed to worse (or at least less suitable) bits and running into a dead end can be unfortunate in that case.

Given that Assange greatly benefited Donald Trump's campaign (by publishing damaging but authentic emails from Clinton's campaign), I won't be one bit surprised if the US charges somehow disappear as well.
They are there because they have insight into a phenomenon they have studied and is being discussed, and they may have a book or something that further explains what they are talking about should the listener be interested. Should they not mention or promote their work?
> I think most people who like playing video games would have some sort of video game playing hardware, yes.

False. Almost everyone who owns a smartphone plays videogames now. The mobile game market is huge. A lot of people dont own hardware specifically for video games, but still like to game.
Its very possible stadia will work on android soon . Xbox has a similar service in brta that already works on phones.
>I'm not calling this fake news.

Let's go up a few comments where you said:

>I'm still failing to see where this is "news" as opposed to "agenda."

It's right there.

>Can you please provide a general rule or set of rules that we can apply to all articles so that we can tell the difference between journalism and political activism

You made a claim that the article is "propaganda", "activism" and "agenda" (your words). So the onus would be on you to prove your claim. Or at least offer a coherent argument why you believe that. As far as I can tell, the only thing that makes this propaganda in your eyes is (a) it's from the NYT and (b) it opposes your worldview somehow.

Anyhow, I'm going to stop here with this particular thread.
I think I'm more shocked how incredibly addicted and dependent people are to the internet and gaming. The conversations here are just, "Oh my god, I can't be without high speed internet for more than thirty seconds! I might die! Planes need super fast internet! My car needs it! My fridge needs it! My dog's food bowl needs it!"

Stop. Go outside. Hug a tree or something. You need to realize, I'm a capitalist republican. I'm telling people to hug a tree and I mean it. You people need to hug a tree. Go out, with a book and sit underneath a tree for half an hour and collect some of them vitamin Ds. Leave your phone inside because no, the world will not end if you are without a phone for more than ten minutes. Chill, the fuck, out.
It's still better in many cases than modern ML (especially if you incorporate explainability and efficiency as metrics of "better" next to the predictive power), so I wouldn't object much if a company called it "AI". In fact, if I learned that an "AI" behind some product was just linear regression, I'd trust them more.
Probably nothing because most people don't work at a tech company and couldn't/wouldn't work remotely regardless. Also the city has plenty of other benefits.
I am sorry, but freedom of expression cannot exist without respect. Most of the Catalan political leaders voice their opinions with respect and they get heard everywhere.

You could argue that "hatred" is in jeopardy though, if you feel it's worth.
Unrelated? How? It's Facebook. They have shown a repeated assualt and disavowement of social responsibility. I wouldn't expect Exon mobile to do very nice things in non oil contexts. Are you saying you would?

Reference? Where have you been? Cambridge analytica? It's advertising arms? It's all selling user data either directly or indirectly. Don't be so naive.
> If anyone actually knows the secret to not having your own mail-server's mail go to spam on these bigger systems, please tell, I've Googled it for years with no success.

I've been running my own mail server without sending problems for almost a decade. Right from the beginning, I had a clue and knew that sending SMTP directly from a subscriber IP address was going to be a nonstarter. Such IP's have a negative reputation due to abuse. Instead, from the beginning, I used my ISP's (big ISP in Canada) SMTP forwarding host, configuring my SMTP server to log into that server with my credentials.

(I had a couple of hiccups along the way with the ISP's SMTP service, and they wouldn't help me unless I reproduced the issue with a supported e-mail client. Naturally, an Exim server running on Debian isn't a supported e-mail client, because it's name doesn't sound like "Microsoft Outlook" or "Mozilla Thunderbird").

Anyway, the main advantage of running your own mail server is not the ability to send SMTP directly to someone's MX server, but rather that you have your own MX domain for receiving mail, via a machine you control. Your setup isn't "lesser" in any way just because you're sending through a more reputable SMTP forwarding host.
I'm going to take the contrarian view here, and say it's not clickbait.

I admit that I'm not a C++ expert, but naively I would never have expected clang-format to have any effect on my code. If you stopped and suggested header re-ordering to me my first thought would have been "I guess it must not do that. Maybe in practice header re-ordering doesn't actually matter with reasonable code?".

The title here doesn't describe the contents of the article, but it describes a very important consequence of it that C++ programmers should be aware of. It gives a specific example of the consequence. I'm ok with that.
That link mentions multipitch climbing, which is surprising but cool. Every artifical wall I've seen outside of a climbing gym was strictly for single pitch top roping. I'm not sure how that will actually work in practice though. Are they really going to open the wall up to lead climbing? Seems like a liability and logistical nightmare. The article certainly implies that's the case, but is worded confusingly enough that I'm skeptical.
“Due to its origins for use in managing potentially damaged infrastructure, the remote machine need not even have free disk space or a writeable filesystem.”

I first thought of an AI given the task of maintaining its own existence. But it’s probably meant more as a CM like ansible. That’s a little closer to reality than sci-fi.
The title would be a /little/ clearer with a dash between Clang and format.
I wouldn't say I "can't", nor do I believe my distaste for this form of writing indicates I should evaluate anything about my use of time.

Frankly that along with the caps "YOU" comes off a bit hostile, but I see you are a writer so maybe it came of as a personal attack of sorts. Apologies if so.

I see these type of articles as ultimately doomed to fail because the audience they are after likely isn't the curl up by the fire with a novel while wearing a faded beige cardigan that smells of tea and old book set. Plus they are really annoying when I'm trying to obtain information.

It's not just time. More attention and working memory. These types of articles abuse it for very little gain. They are like Christian rock. Not good rock. Not very Christian.

This is an entirely different topic from how well researched the article is.

Consider this an opinion piece rather than a news comment.

An old quote sums it up perfectly for me: “The job of game AI is not to win, but to lose in an entertaining manner.”
It's malware with a conscience.
Sure, if you are the kind of person to sell and buy used games, that will probably be pretty cheap. But that's becoming more niche by the day, even without Stadia. Most game sales are digital downloads from a storefront.
I'll see it when I believe it. This isn't true in the bay area whatsoever. There's "talent" everywhere you look. The uber I took to the airport today was driven by a guy who just came to the US and is primed for a product manager role based on his entrepreneurship in his home country.
500,000, later 1,000,000, per year. See the table in the article: the overall sum of the contract didn't change, he asked for 9 million to be paid earlier than initially planned. They'd somehow have to reappear entirely later for everything to look clean.
I loved the sunray description. In a lot of ways this reminds me of Firefox OS. It's really amazing technology but before finding product/market fit, we have to find product/solution fit. Super important to find even the core group of users who really need this. I like Stadia - and I'm a social casual gamer. I play games on my Fire TV lol, and it'd be a convincing argument for a device to bridge the gap to more beefy games, but positioned against Xbox and PS4, I'm not looking to do any sort of heavy gaming

The worst part is that they'll get away with it too, since any kind of accountability in politics seems to have caught a cold and died.
I understand. I use AWS at work now. It's mostly curiosity about your experience than anything else.
Does the company mention AI in their name, marketing material, or investor pitch? Then it is snake oil.
I know people that bring cigarettes to every trip they've had in more than 10 years. Doesn't make it right either.

Always having to rely on video games and the internet is a problem. You seriously can't mature through being alone in your own thoughts? People gladly, even smugly, say I'm a bad guy because on the weekends I treat myself to a cigar. Yea, I know it's bad and I don't push that habit off as some glorious thing to be protected. I have my vices. But I don't let my vice control me or become my identity. Everyone is on the kick the last 10 years like "video games define me". Y'all need to stop and go outside to hug a tree.
Yeah and wifi is already pulling out all the tricks like FEC, CSMA and the like just to scale with usage.

At the end of the day the internet is a packet switched and not circuit switched topology despite telecom pushing hard for circuit switched in the early days. Preference is given for throughput and not latency(although network-next is working to address some of that).
I moved from the bay area to Charlotte NC this year, and it's fantastic. A big brand new apartment in a walkable area downtown is $1200. I'm making the same salary and brand new houses can be had for $300k in a nice neighborhood. It's the number 2 banking capital in the US after New York, so there's endless growth potential for someone interested in fintech. We're on the same line of latitude as San Francisco so there's plenty of sun and the winters are extremely mild with little to no snow. I really can't think of any reason other than chasing FAANG positions why anyone would stay in the bay at this point.
The additional hardware would also block me. For a 4 months trip in Europe I used a service similar to Stadia: Shadow.tech that runs on your regular pc. Made able to rank up on For Honor quite nicely, even if it was not as nice as my too expensive gaming PC. You definetly should have a look at it.
Undoubtedly. At the same time wages will likely drop for them, as developers buy in to the rather stupid notion that their geographic location, rather than the value of their labor, should have anything whatever to do with their salaries.
Maybe someone should make a tool that randomly reorders your header includes until optimal performance is found.
Why is the delivery more important to you than the facts? I find that very, very curious. In all honestly, it reads like you're desperately trying to change the topic.

For more, see my other comment. But I'm respectfully bowing out of this thread now.
When was he extradited?
And I bet I can beat that with a trivial algorithm: if(marketing copy contains the word 'AI') return 'bullshit'.

WRT. presentation, I didn't read it as claiming that just predicting social outcomes is hard; I read it as saying that perception is the only category where "AI" actually works somewhat (from the "automating judgement" part, I'd argue only spam detection works; I'm yet to hear of any effective ML solution for the rest of the bullet points there).
This is a plot point in Neal Stephenson's "Fall".
These calculators are highly misleading. You absolutely can live comfortably and squirrel away much more cash at 400k anywhere in the US vs 150k. I’ve lived this experience between “low” COL and high areas.
Or "header inclusion order may affect performance." If someone points to this as a reason not to use clang-format...
The AI innovation must be that they can figure out which marketers are likely to forget to have a burn pixel because those marketers drive more revenue.

It’s actually a drop-in engine for Ansible originally. See author’s blog: https://sweetness.hmmz.org/
The use-case is mainly to get rid of the inherent bottleneck that Ansible has, where you have to execute everything from a single manager node. It also contains tons of optimizations at the networking level, etc.

It makes sense if you've got 1000s of nodes you're managing with Ansible, and you need to increase efficiency. If you've ever tried running an Ansible playbook against even 100 hosts, you'll know it can be painfully slow even with SSH pipelining. Mitogen makes that much much faster. AFAIK Operon[1] is just a better version of that (with the possibility of personalized support contracts, etc).

IMO song lyrics are using music as a carrier wave, and we may associate the music with the feelings expressed in the lyrics. That's a bit tainted ...

When it comes to purely instrumental music I won't usually attach emotions to it ... unless it was designed to be 'programmatic' or 'paint a picture' by the composer. Even then, there's no need to play along. I don't buy the "major = happy, minor = sad', that can be more than a little naive.

Instrumental music is a rich, rich language, and - for me at least - it often arouses emotions I've never felt before. I'm not so sure that it 'generates' those feelings; I suspect that it CONVEYS them. Which is why the greatest music (in any culture) endures for centuries.

This is how we’ll actually get AGI. Creating the necessary pre-conditions for a quasi-simulacrum of life, and just letting it rip. Beautiful work, I’m excited to dig into this further, a little later tonight.

This + incentives (hint hint, a little crypto-wallet with some cash) could really set the stage to create “Agents” (agents in the sense of independent, self running processes with their own cash balances, trading goods & services for new incomes, much like corporations which only exist in the context of humans managing day to day operations).

I’d write more but instead I’m going to dig into the docs + source code.
See, that's the type of thing that's intriguing! And it seems like it should be possible to capture in the statistics (at least so that Charlotte appears above Jacksonville), but it seems like this report is more about advertising for Emsi to try to make potential clients (municipal governments in currently unpopular places to live) feel like there's hope if they just hire the company to consult with them.
Read whole thread so far, haven't seen anyone mention their network conditions. Can people indicate to me if this is just as nice over Pacific ocean sized hops or is this just working nice when you're talking down the road / in the building?

Agreed, and I personally use the following heuristic in my product evaluation: the heavier the intensity of advertising, the worse the product. After correcting for rough company size (bigger company = bigger baseline advertising budget), I found it to be quite accurate.
That's true, but future prices and rents are very difficult to know. If you buy, your costs, ex-property taxes are known for the rest of your life.

This means you can customize the house for your needs, make friends, have you kids make friends, join community organizations, etc, without having to worry that one day when you go to renew your lease, your landlord will have an unaffordable surprise for you, and you have to give up everything you've built up.
