I think it actually is a good example, I think your argument would make sense if they were moving to a new growing location, but the fact that they're moving to a place they could have moved all along exactly shows that now there is some incentive that didn't exist before
Most of these complaints aren't really city issues. BART isn't run by the city. PG&E provides power to 1/2 of the state.

The housing issue is one that the Mayor has some control over. But not a lot. There are too many landowning moneyed interests to get anything done with zoning. Even the non-moneyed interests work against themselves by supporting policies that actually hurt the poor.

Right now, it makes sense not to prosecute petty crime. Those folks really have nowhere to go, so they could be arrested, then released back to the streets, and now they can't get a job because they have a record.

SF needs to make major strides in up-zoning the entire city. That alone would solve a lot of the problems. Then they can start worrying about petty crime with all that extra tax money they would have.

SF isn't even the biggest city in the Bay Area (San Jose is) so if anyone is going to push on PG&E it should be a multi-county effort, not just rest on SF.
Because for decades liberalist idealism hasn’t effectively addressed the issues and people keep on thinking that the problem is they’re not liberal enough and double down on it(DA Budin). Although if ND is any representation some people are experiencing buyers’ remorse... We’ll see.
I used "C# The Complete Reference" with the command line compilers to learn it in the later beta and through the 2002 release. No IDE, just a windows desktop.

I think VS Community started in 2015... there was also a SharpDevelop and MonoDevelop option in between, from pretty early on. I used SharpDevelop on my own projects for a number of years. Around 2011 I started using Node more and have been back and forth on projects since.
Maybe because SF has been sucking all the oxygen out of the room and people continually apologize for all of its shortcomings and bad decisions. There's a lot I like about SF, but it's easily the most putrid city in America I've ever lived in.
I'm one of these people and I want to be able to do both. Work used to be 10min subway from my place, yet I want to be able to stay home when I don't want to be disturbed at work.
This piece seems to be a political hit piece on SF. Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of critical analyses on the failures of both the city and the citizens of SF, but this is not that.

This appears to be someone who is mostly interested in just complaining. (And with a clickbait headline that isn't backed up in the article.)
The article brings up BART wheel/rail noise, which is an interesting window into SF’s unique and some might say self inflicted issues.

It’s my understanding BARTs screech comes from statutorily over-powered brakes grinding flats into the wheels.

The power rating didn’t take into account the fact that BART is both an all weather outside and an underground (dry) system. On wet outdoor tracks the indoors-only power brakes lock up and wear the wheels flat.

In turn these flats grind periodic indents in the tracks, and the whole thing has a feedback loop which ends up in the entire track being corrugated and no wheel ever being truly circular. Solid axles (no differentials) don’t help either.

Screeching and howling ensues to a level that is damaging to the hearing of passengers and staff alike.
This is a weak rant that has little business being on HN. Just a bunch of random complaints that poorly reflects the totality of SF. Some hits are totally misplaced, like this one:

> But the culmination of local incompetence and misplaced priorities has to be the blackouts and fires. The monopoly utility, PG&E, began rolling blackouts this past autumn to prevent sparks in dry and windy weather. Millions went without power for days.

What on earth does this have to do with SF? PG&E is a state-wide utility over which SF has no particular authority, and SF wasn't even affected by the rolling blackouts.

Certainly SF has problems with property crime, homelessness, housing costs, and NIMBYs. But clearly people still love living here, as evidenced by the continual inflow of people to the city and the region. Articles like that this attempt to paint it as a wasteland feel completely out of touch with the actual reality of living here.

Not really. They just outgrew the conference space in SF. They don't fit in Moscone anymore.

i think there are reasonable arguments for each permutation of answers!

Ultimately, every negotiation comes down to BATNA (best alternative to negotiated agreement.) You have to demand from the company you think can/will pay the most the amount of compensation you are confident (but perhaps not sure) that you can get from the second-expected-highest company. This is similar to a Vickery auction -- the winner is the person who is willing to pay the most but they pay the price the second-highest bidder put forward.

In tech labor, the distribution of compensation for the same work is much wider than almost any market participant realizes.
I immigrated into the US (from Canada) to work for a tech company, and a piece of advice I got from our legal dept was: Whenever you cross the border and the guard asks you what your job is, answer "Software Engineer". IIRC it was important I answer this correctly because that's the role that I was permitted to work for (under a TN, later a H1B; I'm now naturalized). Saying "programmer" or "developer" may have been fine (I don't know), but I do recall some emphasis on getting this right.
I don't think it's too common, but Vue does support JSX: https://vuejs.org/v2/guide/render-function.html
Absolutely! In that long comment, mitchellh briefly talks about the impact of employing folks in different states on potential corporate tax.

Now imagine you ran one of the big billion+ USD revenue tech companies, and you're not talking about different states in the same country but a distributed workforce in many countries and the political pressures on taxation of e-commerce or similar business models involving intangible goods. One of the key arguments in many a tech company's tax/legal toolbox (usually for arguing they should pay taxes on one jurisdiction instead of another) is in which countries their engineering efforts reside and to what extent.

It's really no wonder that employment legal & finance wins out on totally flexible work arrangements in that situation, for better or worse. Politicians aren't taking any hostages in this context, see eg. France.

To provide an example from sufficient years back: I had to represent the stance of a past employer on compliance with Russian privacy laws to Roskomnadzor[1] in their HQ in Moscow. Through a carefully planted trick they tried to get us to commit to establish just the right kind of representation to be able to tax our revenue from Russian customers. In many countries, the narrative would've been "you have engineers here, you therefore build your products here, you should pay income tax here". Curiously, there isn't really obvious right or wrong in all this since the goods are intangible.

(Disclaimer: experience entirely from prior to my current employment at Google, I don't speak for Google in any way and have no insight into these matters at Google.)
In that space, you'd mostly have needed to use Mono and MonoDevelop, depending on the time-frame.. after MS bought Xamarin, Visual Studio for Mac is actually a descendant of MonoDevelop
It really is nowhere near as simple as that. Each neuron is made of 100 trillion atoms. For all we know, each one of those atoms is responsible, in its own subtle way, for contributing to the total "change in voltage" of the neuron as a whole. For all we know, adjacent neurons can induce tiny amounts of current in each other, even without being directly connected. The stuff that actually gives rise to consciousness is vastly, astronomically more complex than the graph of whole neurons.
Seems they are working on changing the wheel shape.

I definitely agree with you in regards to the "everything is a text file" thing, but the average computer user doesn't know how to properly utilise text files and manage them effectively.

This is similar to the fact that basic knowledge of file systems and file formats is lacking in many modern teenagers, because this is all abstracted away by smartphone apps and cloud storage.

As a tech guy, I'd love to run the crematorium using YAML files in GitHub, but the reality is that the target audience for the system is Funeral Directors and Cremation Assistants, so it needs to be a non-technical user interface.
Where I work we have been moving at 150% pace over the last month. I suspect its related to working from home not actually slowing anyone down and everyone not wanting to look like they are slacking while not in the office. Personally I have been starting work 40 minutes sooner than I normally do since it just takes me 40 less minutes to get to my desk.
Observations on ARM64 and AWS’s Amazon EC2 M6g Instances – Honeycomb
Interestingly, one commenter posted that switching to OpenJDK fixes it. So it's some interaction between the hardware, the JRE, and JetBrains. I look forward to the post-mortem for this one.
Huge wealth disparity.
But tesla is the only one selling cars you can get today i guess. Waymo's ride share is still very very limited in availability and likely won't expand anytime soon
It hasn't changed! Except for PowerShell, but that's... oy.

I have PowerShell, Git Shell and Cygwin running on my windows Dev box and all three make me cry on a weekly basis because I have to switch between them to do different things. I suppose one day I will sit down to fix my Windows dev environment, but it makes me feel so bloody frustrated that my muscle-memory shell is so ... perverted by windows implementations.

MS is bringing Bash to windows natively. I don't know how that is going to work since piping just isn't there, but I've got my fingers crossed that I'll only have to deal with ONE shell for windows!!!
Isn’t BaRT going ahead and tapering the wheels time reduce the noise? I think I heard there was one measure they were taking.
Depends on your situation. If you're already in bed with Microsoft, the support you get is pretty damn nice, and surprised me a lot.

A client of mine, a large multinational's overall corporate IT is very much Microsoft oriented, but I was working together with an R&D division, setting up a Linux/k8s-based proof of concept project. Somehow, the Azure team got wind of this and asked if we could meet. I expected absolutely nothing, but they ended up sending very competent technical sales guy, together with 2 engineers, that could answer every single question I threw at them, and they offered to help designing and setting up the infrastructure part, without us ever asking, no strings or invoices attached.

I think this sped up the poc by about a month or 2, just because they backed my opinion pretty much all the time, and had very valuable feedback and proposals to tackle certain other things. It also removed a lot of political crap, which is always there in a multinational. Being able to show the department head that Microsoft agreed with my solutions carried quite a bit of weight, and it didn't hurt my position at all.

Now, one of the managers tried to get the same support from both AWS and Google. AWS could send us some engineers (which would just be some freelance AWS certified engineers), but they fully determined the schedule (first slot we could get was 3 months after us asking), and there was a quite hefty invoice attached. Google didn't even respond. Now I know that cloud providers don't work that way, but many businesses don't like that. They want to be able to call someone when shit hits the fan. MS just uses their "boots on the ground" to also push azure within such businesses, and I'm not surprised it's working.

But would I host stuff there myself? Doubt it. I think the top 3 cloud providers are just too expensive.
As someone who got an undergrad degree from a top 40 school and is now taking courses at a state system school accepting a lot more students, I completely agree.

The difference in terms of work output and professionalism between students is massive. Presentations from other students lack depth and often fail to explain basic concept; they have very little educational value. Group work is a complete mess since a lot of people never learned how to organize themselves, have very little motivation or fail to explain their ideas properly. Simple things you usually learn in undergrad like putting a bibliography together or spell checking documents are lacking. You end up wasting huge amounts of time correcting other people's mistakes.

Another big difference I've noticed is that students seem to have little interest in the area of study; none of the ones I met have non curricular side projects. There's also a lot less discussion happening outside of classrooms.
Honestly the remnants of the caste system are hard to distinguish from "legacy" in America. If you're a Bush or a Kennedy you're going to have an easy time getting into school - in America it's a bit weirder even because buying your way in is generally considered legitimate and culturally approved.
To be fair, when I first saw this advice to read the book first, the book was this one: https://doc.rust-lang.org/1.30.0/book/first-edition/ which is much shorter.

That is, the advice "the best way to learn Rust is to read the book" came from when the book was a different one; it's still repeated (perhaps by people who learned from the old book), but it might no longer be as valid.

Just for fun, I've been re-reading the book (that is: reading the new book), and it's much more tiring than I remember the old book being (but I've learned a new trick or two, things that didn't exist back in the Rust 1.0 days when I first learned through reading the book).
At least Kubernetes won’t be in trouble since its no longer under the aegis of Google. CNCF is now the maintainer.
I'm capable of having fun at these events, but I would still rather spend the time getting work done. I just consider these events an investment in building rapport that can help in efficient communication during the "actually getting work done" time that I prefer.
I think that the Schwab example is much better, as they could stay if they wanted (they have the money), but decided to leave anyways.

Because that worked out so well. Aren't there more and more economists saying that the New Deal made the Great Depression longer?
Because not everyone wants to work out of the Welsh countryside and the number of developers available there is limited. Which is a factor because developers still have some power. Because the market isn't completely flooded with developers.
Neither LA or SF have the subway that resembles Tokyo in how busy it is but has nothing in common with Tokyo in how clean it is.

Consistent cross platform: This is actually the one thats probably most difficult with react-native. Since unlike electron or Flutter, React-Native uses native UI for each platform. This means you can achieve full parity with native apps in terms of the UI. But all the platforms have different capabilities so since react-native can take full advantage of all the platforms, and isn't lowest common denominator, there are differences between the rendering / support across multiple platforms.

Can the native UI framework do multiple windows? - Then React-Native can do multiple windows.

Rendering to a windows that isn't owned by the framework is what React-Native refers to as Brownfield apps. This is absolutely supported. For instance, Microsoft Office is using React-Native for some parts of their UI in Android, iOS, Windows and macOS. And the Office window is not created or owned by react-native.
As someone just getting into mobile development, I've enjoyed using it significantly more than native iOS/Android. It's so much faster and more straightforward to spin up designs,

Nothing makes me rage more than people who leave audible cell phone notifications and ring tones on in places that are supposed to be quiet (offices, library).

Not enough of a balance in local politics? Republicans and Democrats are both shitty sides of the same coin, so there's a reason they're 50/50 in most stable places.

Governments enjoy legal immunity for policy decisions. There is zero legal basis to establish liability.
Focusing on hospital stays misses an enormous aspect of what hospitals do; routine visits, outpatient procedures, etc. There are plenty of reasons one might visit a hospital for something elective that doesn't show up as a "hospital stay" from that link.

My kids get eye exams at the hospital. My son's allergist is there. These visits can wait, and they make up a lot of a hospital's business; the staff in those areas have little to do at the moment.
Hacker news has become tumblr. Thank you for opening my eyes recently. Keep the downvotes coming. Bye!
People love to say this but rarely provide concrete examples. Google has a habit of discontinuing unsuccessful services, not technologies like SDKs or whole programming languages.
Recent Mac GPUs have been... weird. I've had small artifacts on three different 16-inch MBPs (one that I returned, a replacement that I decided to keep, and one that I was issued at work).
I learned from the sdk command line and a book... mostly because after 9-11 within a couple months my day job and side job were gone and had lots of time on my hands for about 8 months... through the later betas and the 2002 release I hadn't touched an IDE for it... after I got a job though, kept up with it... but SharpDevelop worked for me for the most part in the earlier years.
The list contains basically every business in existence. The application is what is arbitrary. Factories with PPE and distancing is a no go, but construction is OK. You can go to a liquor store but can not get heart surgery. Then, on a national level you get bizzare edge cases like attempts to shut down drive in church services
The rust book is great and I refer to it frequently, but rust never clicked for me until I just jumped in and did the advent of code with it.

I think the hard part of just reading the book is that unless you have some problem you’re trying to solve, it’s hard to get motivated to read it.

It’d be nice if there was a book that’s a bit less dry —- something like Learn You A Haskell or Why’s poignant guide to Ruby.
Things make more sense when you take a look at the post-WW2 black population growth in the Bay Area compared to the rise in interest in "local control" growth policy and the timing of some famous "Progressive" votes like the Freeway Revolts: https://i.imgur.com/6F0gP4l.png

I certainly can't speak to _intentions_, but I can observe the result of how basically every decision taken since the '60s has worked to maintain the segregation that used to be legal at the time: http://www.radicalcartography.net/index.html?bayarea
They already did, a few years ago. It's much, much better than it used to be—you can now have a conversation in the transbay tube. And the new cars ("Fleet of the Future") are actually quite pleasant, although they've been rolling out very slowly.
Does anyone else think that the massive decrease in driving (due to lockdowns) is a game-changer for the outlook on autonomous vehicles? Suppose we can embrace a society with fewer drivers, isn't that better for autonomous vehicles by most metrics?
My thoughts as well. If you don't need high availability or any horizontal scaling, you can still do it as simply as the GP did. These days customers expect your site to never go down however, and that forces complexity.
Or just like a ton of other companies like Magic Leap, they went for a moonshot and are discovering that it would have been better to iterate instead.

I suspect we will see a replay here of the ULA versus SpaceX history of the last ten years, and at the end, Google is going to look up and wonder "what happened" while Tesla continues to dominate the actual market.
A bit late: you're correct, but it does provide a standard API for looking up additional metadata, even if it's non-standard. That's using custom claims and/or the user info endpoint (which can include custom claims). You can use custom scopes to limit what is available as well.
You are just completely wrong and have no clue how liability works in US civil courts. Did you get your legal education by watching TV?
> Sound completely unfair? Government overstep?

Yes, if I want to try to create a thing I reasonably believe will have value, and I'm honest about it, there should be little regulatory issue. Considering how many other cryptocurrencies there are, I REALLY don't understand at all why SEC cared about this one. There are far more shadier ones around than TON.

> We aren't allowed to sell people something that doesn't exist?

We do that every day. Commodities futures and stock options. Speculative investments in oil, gas, wind, tech, medicine, cars, etc. SOFTWARE. Not only that, we allow people to pay other people with promises they have the right to buy a thing that doesn't exist at a price we set today (unvested non-voting stock options), because we THINK it might be worth more later, although we fully acknowledge it may cease to exist, or even never exist at all (unvested options in a company that never goes public, or sells, and your shares vanish).
For anyone finding a solution to code blocks... I write these comments from Safari on my iPhone
Certainly, but you'll likely find it has a higher proportion of elective procedures that can be held off than, say, the NICU.

Which will mean that department's staff - docs, nurses, receptionists, billers, cleaners, etc. - will be more likely to be on the furlough lists than the ER or ICU.
Problem is the camera has to be sitting in the middle of your screen or it will be looking like you are looking away. Even the built in camera on the bottom left of my dell xps looks stupid. And then video conferencing tools compress the video to shit anyway. Also most of us don't have fancy looking home offices. I'm currently working from a desk in my bedroom so a video call would have my bed and an unpainted drywall covered in plaster lines/patches.
Not real impressed with Apple Mac OS stability lately. I am currently experiencing the WindowServer crash coming out of sleep on my MacBook Pro 16.

Look like it has something to do with the AMD dGPU and Catalina so again probably a GPU driver: https://mrmacintosh.com/10-15-4-update-wake-from-sleep-kerne...

Then you have another fun one probably related like it spinning up the fans and the GPU consuming double power when you run the built in display and an external monitor, but not with just external monitors: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/16-is-hot-noisy-with-an...

Of course the problem with Apple is zero communication even acknowledging an issue leads to all sorts of wild goose chases usually involving reset pram or whatever.
