The major obstacle to living in SV is the insane cost of homeownership that puts the (pretty commonplace) aspiration of living in one's own home with a nice yard out of reach of all but the richest (even being in the top 5% of incomes in the nation is no guarantee of being able to own a house in Palo Alto, for example.) With the recent passing of Prop 19, things get even worse: people who are looking to inherit homes from their parents are in for a shock if they have siblings --- they may be forced to pay a much higher property tax if they do not all live in the property! Prop 19 is written to benefit Realtors and Firefighters: realtors get to pry houses out of seniors' hands to sell, and firefighters get to increase their salaries and ranks. Prop 19 will also massively reduce incentives to rent (or alternately, bump up rents to much higher levels to cover the much higher property taxes), leaving housing the same or much worse off (my bet is on the latter.)

Add to this the ridiculously high income tax burden and sales tax burden, and it becomes clear that raising children is also out of reach for most (particularly if you do not want to send your children to the piss-poor public schools in many areas.)

For singles also, particularly men (who comprise the majority of techies), things are pretty bleak: there is too much competition for women, and opportunities to date do not come by easily at all.

If homeownership and family formation are supremely hard, and so is finding a mate, what exactly is the rationale for continuing to live in the Bay Area? It seems to me that the Bay Area will become an in-and-out type of place (like Manhattan or some of the other New York boroughs perhaps), wherein you bust your ass for several years and decamp to a lower-tax (or better still, no-tax) jurisdiction to get on with the next phase of your life.

It's a not a myth if you're in the SF Bay Area. Other parts of CA are terrible. As you've pointed out it's both smoggy and hot. Coming from FL where there are only two seasons, I call Bay Area's weather "air conditioning" weather. It feels like you're in a really nice climate controlled building, but outside with sun. That said, it's not going to last with climate change. Air quality is already taking a beating with all the forest fires, and it's getting hotter and hotter. Pretty soon, it'll be no different from what people think of today as SoCal weather.

Stencil creators here. We love the title, but that is not our goal. We built Stencil for a very specific use case: building out a bunch of Web Components for our Ionic Framework project so they could run in any frontend stack. Stencil will generate React, Angular, and Vue bindings from a standard Web Component base, so developers in each of those frameworks get the native experience they expect, and any issues using Web Components (in React, for example) are smoothed out and fixed.

Stencil is really focused on building design systems and reusable component sets, like the kind we needed for Ionic Framework.

+1 for induction stoves. We gutted and redid a house a few years ago, and decided to go with induction primarily to avoid the complexity of running gas to where the new kitchen was. No regrets.

Induction technology has come a long way; make sure to read reviews and get a stovetop that does "simmering" well. Also make sure to think about the interface -- a lot of induction stoves require two steps to change the temperature (first click several times to choose the burner, then click several times to adjust the temperature up or down). We went with one that had a full range of buttons for each burner; only one press required for any one change.

Edit: I do think the considered criticisms of this piece are valid, especially the idea that when a correlated measurement (e.g LOC) of a thing (e.g productivity) becomes rewarded, it blows that correlation as everyone starts optimizing the measurement rather than for that thing itself.

Yeah, because remote code exploits are particularly an issue with Electron, as opposed an order of magnitude less likely to happen with it compared to native code.

Basically you got it completely backwards. The typical native app (which is not Rust or Java but C/C++/Obj-C, etc) only keeps the unsafe part of Electron, and even drops the sandbox (whose holes can always be patched, but total absense cannot).

I'm about 2/3 through it. I also thought the blockchain stuff was a bit weird and buzzwordy, but technology is not really the point of this book. It's more about the kinds of social/political/economic changes needed to address climate change and other problems, which in this case includes ecoterrorism and revolution.
I notice, though, that your examples are not from programming at all. Your examples are about users of devices. True, programmers use languages, but programming is far more complicated than using a music service.

Something like "no code" may make programming easier... until it doesn't. That is, you get to the point where either you can't do what you need to do, or where it would be easier to do it by just writing the code. If the "no code" approach lets you write significant parts of your program that way, it may still be a net win, but it's not the way we're going to do all of programming in the future.
Having used it for the better part of a year, I can tell you that using Tailwind has vastly improved my CSS. Now, I'm basically using CSS all the time, with the ability to do media queries quickly; so I guess my thoughts are the exact opposite- it helps you learn CSS even better than you ever would have.

Extracting out components and using @apply when I desire is fast and easy too.

Are there any quality brands that have a vent that can be directed outdoors? We're renovating our kitchen in the next year and are planning on doing this, but haven't had any luck finding a natural gas stove which is made to vent outdoors.

I don't have counter evidence on hand but assuming the oven is vented outdoors, my understanding is that a hood should be relatively low-powered, not high, in order to then capture emissions from the stove top. It should be a function of size, height from the stove top, noise constraints, etc.
Yeah, because other companies or FOSS have a better track record.

E.g. we can drop Exchange for email for a safe alternative like Sendmail.
Yeah, I've had some friends leave (to CO and DC), but I'm skeptical of companies and VCs leaving.

For a kind of funny example, there was an episode of the all-in podcast (mostly a podcast of successful VCs) where they talked about SV politics and leaving.

The irony was while they talked about CA politics to an absurd degree ("worst run state in US", etc.) when they asked each other if they were planning on leaving all of them said no.

People complain a lot (and there are good reasons to complain!), but people have been complaining since at least 1993 and it's still an economic hub for startups. I'm skeptical of that leaving.

I have seen coworkers and friends leave, but it's mostly a housing issue. As people turn 30 and want to have a family if you haven't cashed out $5M in some exit event then it sucks to live here. $500k can get you a nice place in CO, $750k for outside Seattle.

I have had older friends leave to have a family. They went to Santa Cruz, Seattle, Denver, DC, and Austin. It's a shame. The ones that stayed either are very rich where a $5M house is not an issue, or they still live with three roommates and rent without kids.

Some other reasons to complain about, but that I don't think are usually deciding factors for people to leave:

- Bad policy (AB5), Extra founder Tax, Hostility towards tech in general.

- Political monoculture (I don't mean not enough trump people, I mean it can be controversial to be an obama era moderate/neoliberal and 'woke' politics is hard to avoid).

- High state taxes that harm capital gains and new money. This is related to housing and prop13. Not only do the people that live in housing they bought decades ago pay almost no property tax compared to new buyers, they then push to restrict new supply while also pushing to increase tax on new money. This comes in the form of higher capital gains tax (there's a bill to raise it to 16.3% this year retroactively, by far the highest in the country). They also push legislation to increase tax on the companies excluding homeowners to fund their services (which indirectly affects the employees again). This kind of thing makes it doubly hard to be able to buy in and live here.

Ah, LinkedIn. This reminds me of a story.

A few years ago, I had the very bad idea of replying to one of the typical "lol millennials amirite" posts. I called it unprofessional and told them to be more careful about the way they carried themselves because "this is not Facebook".

This prompted a lengthy, downright insane reply from another person, who criticised me because "Facebook is a very big job searching platform" (huh? How does that change my point?) and called themselves "a world thought leader, according to my friends".

At that point I just blocked that whole thread because it was actually giving me anxiety and I just didn't know how to reply to that without making things worse.

I wonder how much of this is because of copyrights. Look at the way a lot of older music has been preserved in modern times, through the use of sampling, covers and other things.

The Beatles, Elvis, even Dylan played a lot of covers of old blues tunes or other songs that had been lost by that current generation and were made popular again.

The way laws work now, that's not really something people can do any more without being sued or paying licensing fees. I don't see a lot of Beatles songs being sampled, because it costs a lot, so a lot of young people who might have heard some of their music won't really get the chance.

I know me personally, i've only discovered a lot of older music after hearing a cover or a sample in a song that's made me go back and look for the original.

Look at reggae music to see the difference. Songs from the 50's and 60's are still being remade, covered, remixed and used in modern songs. A lot of reggae fans still know the big names from that time because you still hear their songs.

Higher density housing. You can turn parts of the bay into a modern city, with highrises. That way folks won't have to commute to work.

Or you can massively increase transportation capacity, not just with roads but (more effectively) with trains and subways and other forms of fast, efficient public transportation.

Of course none of this will ever happen, SFBA residents and government will continue to exclusively focus on slaughtering their golden geese until they all gone.

People didn't have the modern tools easily creating very slow programs 30 years ago, but I'd argue that it was because those tools weren't useful to them since their programs had the requirement that they need to run on machines with 10 mhz processors (with way less work done per cycle, no branch prediction etc). So most of those "productivity enhancements" comes from hardware being so fast that you no longer have to care about things.

And no, a game engine like Unreal isn't performant, it wastes a ton of ram and cpu on bookkeeping. It is a small fraction of a modern computer but back then you'd rather have all the resources instead of wasting a huge amount of them.

Eliminating gas appliances by 2022 seems a bit on the extreme side when simply requiring vented range hoods would solve the issue. Requiring vented range hoods would be a good idea, regardless of the heat source. Smoke, from burning gas or burning chicken, generally isn't good.
The biggest surprise for me was just how quickly an induction cooktop can heat up a pan. When using gas I would often turn the stove on as I finished chopping vegetables to let it preheat, but after burning a few things on the induction cooktop I realized I need to have everything ready to go in.

Other trouble I had was largely due to the Ikea Tillreda cooktop I purchased first; it only has ten temperature settings which made it difficult or impossible to find the correct setting when sauteeing. The second cooktop I purchased was a Duxtop model which has twenty temperature settings which seems to work just fine, and the Ikea cooktop still finds use boiling water and other tasks where precise temperature control does not matter.

Another problem that I have with both cooktops is that the actual heated area of the pan is only about 6" in diameter, whereas it seems to be common for a full size induction range or cooktop to have at least one 12" element. This is more noticeable than with a standard electric stove because the heated area on induction comes up to temperature almost immediately whereas the unheated areas of the pan take a long time to warm up through conduction.

Edit: I should add in case the above sounds negative that I love using induction and can't wait to have a full size version! The digital control and fast heating give me better consistency and less time standing around waiting than gas. I would however recommend that anyone thinking about switching to induction first buy a portable unit to try out as decent ones are well under $100.

Air quality and health are quite significant in predicting COVID mortality on a neighborhood by neighborhood basis, too. Environmental air quality -- socioeconomic status -- health outcomes (and more) are tied in a very complex network with a lot of reinforcing cycles. I don't know what the distribution of stove type by income level is, but I do have the impression that richer Americans are more likely to have fancy induction ranges, and poorer Americans are more likely to use gas.

Annoying as I certainly find gas more pleasant to cook with.
I think your house may be an anomaly. From what I've read, the average Bay Area house produces more from solar than it uses.

Anecdotally, every person I know with solar does not pay an electric bill (I also live in the Bay Area). My neighbor has solar, and has four adults in the house. They also run a catering business so they have a commercial walk in freezer and refrigerator in addition to their normal appliances, and they don't pay an electric bill either.

And when I run the calculator for my own house, it looks like I won't pay a bill either, despite running the A/C all summer and the heat all winter. We've just been too lazy to get it done.

Maybe your system isn't working correctly?
Consistency for consistency's sake is not a virtue.

The best solution to all the style discussion nonsense is an automated, mandated style. The better solution is the team being mature enough to only care about real problems and not gate development with personal preferences. There's something to be said for feeling comfortable in your space. The company's codebase is not your space.

Agreed. I run the vent and usually crack a window when cooking just so food smells don't permeate the house forever.

Sounds like a classic "don't write this down or leave a paper trail" type situation. Everything else, though, should be subject to discovery by a competent lawyer if it has to go that far. Then again, she's probably under a forced arbitrage clause, meaning the cards are stacked against us to get any visibility on the matter.
Ask HN: Best DataViz Libraries for Python?
Hi,

I am looking at dataviz libraries for financial data that can operate inside of JuypterLab and natively as well through a browser.

Best example of this I have found so far is https://perspective.finos.org/

With example of it in action (on a popular Tableau dataset) here https://fwd.ac/df4

What other libraries should I be evaluating (Opensource or Commercial)?
> I said it is impossible to cook properly with electric. If you know anything about cooking you know that is a fact.

I do and I do not know that as a fact. Can you cite it please?

Heat is an important aspect of cooking, but the source of the heat (outside of hotspots) isn't maybe as important as cookware heat-storage-capacity/heat transfer speed.

The only thing I can immediately point to gas doing that electric/induction cannot is a traditional round-bottom wok. But I'd be lying if I said a wok was a major part of my cooking.
For me (in SF): climate that matches what I want perfectly. The option for snow or beaches on the same day. The food, the diversity, the grittiness, the jobs, the history. And all my family lives here, too. The biggest one of all: walkability, never having to get in my car unless I want to leave the city.

Where did you end up moving that you found a better fit for yourself?
In general, this is good practice for working on a team.

However, given that we're talking about Linus Torvalds' opinions on what makes code 'elegant' or 'good taste', I'd say it's implicit that we're talking within the domain of low level, high performance code, such as kernel code.
You could build up housing density in the places that people work so they wouldn't have to commute.
>> and still come out ahead financially.

Ya. Earning a SF wage but living elsewhere is great. But there is a flip side to this coin. As employees realize they can work from home, employers also realize they can have employees work from home. They will soon realize they don't need to pay SF wages. Those who convert their in-office jobs into work-from-home are a covid oddity. Those who will be hired in the future on the assumption that they will always work remotely will likely face much lower wages. I predict a race for the bottom.
