Somebody broke the passenger window of my car to unlock it and steal my stuff while I was sitting in the driver's seat talking on the cell phone, in Langton alley next to Brainwash. But that was decades ago. It's always been like that. Just get their attention and politely ask them to go away and steal somebody else's stuff.

Edit: I was being sarcastic, role playing an evangelist with Stockholm Syndrome, and was actually quite impolite to him, once I finally managed to get his attention!

Edit 2: Once I was lucky enough to observe the iconic green Art Nouveau neon sign of HOTEL ESSEX in the Tenderloin when just the right letters were burnt out to spell "HOT SEX".

Hotel Essex, at the corner of Ellis St. and Larkin St., in The Tenderloin, San Francisco.

Up from the deep: The Tenderloin

https://upfromthedeep.wordpress.com/uptown-tenderloin/commen...

>Hotel Essex. 684 Ellis Street. Hotel with 128 rooms and seventy-two baths. Architects: Righetti and Headman. 1912.

>Though unique amid the surrounding architecture, the Art Nouveau-inspired facade of the Essex was nevertheless crafted to blend in by its designer, James Francis Dunn. The hotel’s neon blade sign is especially fine. Now owned by the Community Housing Partnership, the Essex began undergoing renovation late in 2006.

>Night-Sign---Essex

>By the end of April 2008, its renovation was complete. The paint job is unfortunately garish and unbecoming, but the new marquee and restored blade sign are spectacular, although it seems the latter may still have some electrical problems. Even so, the corner of Ellis and Larkin is utterly transformed after dark by the torrid glow of neon.
Exactly, I dont think this is a clumsy PR play as the OP suggested. All big cities are experiencing increase in homelessness, crime and violence, drug use. You see it in Austin, Denver, SF, Seattle, LA, Chicago. Many of these cities were already bad and are getting worse, but others used to be 'good' cities and are now moving into thunderdome territory.
As one of those people, it isn't always. I'm politically opposite those typically associated with virtual signaling, and I drive an EV because it's way cheaper (total cost of ownership), more fun, and more pleasant than an ICE car.

Environmental concerns didn't factor into my choice at all - far more important to me is the thrill of silent, uninterrupted acceleration and not spending time at gas stations.
Came here to mention this. Great idea for website however. Perhaps one of the most disappointing cliffhanger ends was the TV show "Startup".
As rents go up, these rents eat up most of the wages, thereby increasing wages. Increasing wages cause inflation, and it is called "cost-push inflation", as both cost of goods, cost of services include wages.
Because USA wouldn't issue a national security letter to get dirt on foreigners? Seems like if Mozilla wanted to choose DoH as way to protect people from being spied on they wouldn't choose USA-based companies?

Like "don't get caught by your own gov accessing restricted material get caught by USA gov-related organisations so they can sell you out to your own gov & benefit USA".

If you're bothered about who's watching your web traffic then it seems highly unlikely you want to add USA to the list of who is watching you??
Part of the reason people like Trump have very fancy residences is because they are exempt under bankruptcy laws. So he can store his wealth as gold plating on his toilet, file for bankruptcy, get out of all the loans he can't pay, then continue on with his lackluster investing. I bet even a tax on the value won't remove that very lucrative use of it.

What a principal residence as an investment does for most middle to upper-middle class Americans is force them to save some money so that they have some amount of wealth when they retire. I don't know if that is important or not, since it's not very liquid and has dire consequences if you lose it.
I’d put them on the same level…I feel equally unsafe in the sketch parts of Paris and SF. I speak both French and English fwiw.
Ngrok is one of those things that I know isn't that complex but I gladly pay for it year after year because I just don't want to deal with that stuff and it rarely lets me down.
Nonsense.

Highest murders per capita are far higher in smaller towns. You're much more likely to get shot by a drunk angry husband anywhere in Wyoming than NYC.

San Francisco is a fcking mess — mostly by decision, it appears — but "cities are dangerous places" is just silly.
I lived in NYC post covid. Trust me, it's no Disneyland.

I lived in NYC in the 70's. Trust me, comparatively, even post-COVID, NYC is still Disneyland.
The issue is there is probably no good way to address climate change without impacting standard of living.

The solution is to emit less CO2. Carbon capture/reclamation will never be enough to actually change things particularly with the current levels of emissions.

So how do we address that? Best way, IMO, is to go after the largest CO2 emitters. That's transportation, electricity, and industrial emissions (mostly concrete and steel AFAIK). Hitting any of those industries with a tax to incentivize reduction will impact standards of living. It will raise the price of goods which ultimately hit the poor and middle class.

You could also subsidize switch over, but that's ultimately a lot harder (and probably less effective) than more general carbon taxes.

And, of course, this has to be done globally, so if we really wanted this to be effective then it'd mean not just fixing your own country but also ideally subsidizing or sanctioning/embargoing bad players.
Maybe you didn't venture out much, but you should realize that is _mostly_ exclusive to market street. One street of a thousand. Yes it occasionally happens elsewhere like any city, but Market and especially the tenderloin are infamous for the drug use and depravity.

Why people keep staying there instead of the hundreds of other and safer hotel locations? Maybe hotels need better regulated ratings to take into account the surrounding area.
As for your first question, I don’t know why anyone would other than home buying is an emotional process. As for why realtors would push it: they want to close deals. Plain and simple.
I’ve managed remote teams since 2008. Never read any books, but here are a few tips I learned along the way:

* 1on1s are very important - There is no water cooler for remote teams, so you have to manufacture it. Take 30min with each team member each week to just chat without an agenda. If the conversation gravitates towards work, fine. If it doesn’t that’s fine too. But I would take an interest in my employee’s life outside of work. I would make it a point to know what their hobbies were, their family’s names, their life story, etc.

* Protect your work time - Each Slack message is an interruption. Have at least a couple hours a day where notifications are muted so you and your team can get into a “deep work” state. If something is urgent, pick up the phone.

* Trust your team daily, hold them accountable weekly - Don’t micromanage your employees and ask what they did each day (outside of a daily virtual standup if they like that, where they post 1 message about what they’re working on and what they might need help with). But at the end of the week, evaluate their performance and adjust your management style to fit. With remote work, it is possible for folks to push the envelope on work/life balance, so be ready for that, but don’t assume it or be so worried about it that your policies become stifling.

I’m sure there are more, but those are a few that served me well through the years.

Good luck!
One nice thing about recent versions of SSH is that they include support for signing arbitrary messages with your ssh key. I know you're not supposed to re-use keys but there have been situations where I needed to prove my identity to people who only had my ssh public key. This would have been super useful in the past.
AT the time they were. Nowadays people barely know what a file is.
Note that this may detect a lot of problems that are not necessarily fatal. It's just that enabling those warnings and sticking to it prevents errors from appearing once you earnestly start working with the code - like you will need to in order to modernize it.
> Violent crime in us cities is at historic lows, despite a small uptick in the past year or two.

It might take some years to put the current numbers into proper context, and maybe it's technically accurate that things aren't as bad as say the roughest part of the 70s, but as a current big city resident, this definitely feels like gaslighting given the actual lived experience. Friends have gotten mugged. People here have changed their behavior: many people are no longer wanting to take the subway without a friend.

You can find a ton of articles like this.

https://edition.cnn.com/2022/03/05/us/new-york-city-crime-wa...

> Major crimes in New York City spiked nearly 60% in February compared to the same month in 2021 -- a large majority occurring in a small swath of the metropolis -- as Mayor Eric Adams rolled out his plan to combat gun violence and crime in the city. The New York Police Department tracked increases across every major crime category. The city recorded a 41% increase in overall major crime through the first months of 2022 compared to the same period last year, including a nearly 54% increase in robberies, a 56% increase in grand larceny incidents and a 22% increase in rape reports, the data shows.

I'll even go further to say that reducing fossil fuel usage for transportation (cars) and heating (natural gas) will improve quality of life for many. Air pollution is majorly bad for people's lungs, brains, and overall health. Not to mention the complete waste of time that rush hour represents.
Is this some new feature I don't know about and can't find?!
Talking about particle/quantum physics, is there a book/youtube channel/whatnot that would describe (some/main) experiments and results that have convinced physicists that classical physics does not work when you go small. I mean, I know about double slit experiment, but I guess it is a long journey from that to the Standard Model.

So instead of the heavy theory, I'd like to see the stuff that made people scratch their heads in the first place.
This is one of the better walkthroughs I have seen so far. And I have seen a fair number.
This is just learned helplessness. Out of control violent crime is not an inevitable part of city life. It doesn’t have to be this way at all. Feel free to compare the violent crime rates in my city (Singapore) to San Francisco.

This is one of the more practical and useful articles I've read about ML in practice. Going through these calculations feels much more like solid engineering vs the hand-wavy 'use a different model' or 'have you tried model distillation' type performance discussions I see elsewhere.

> There is a world of difference between your inability to see the appeal/utility of a thing and that thing being actually worthless, as you are so stridently insisting here.

I am asking a question, and answering "preservation" (which is not really the answer the poster made, since his goal is new development) without giving an actual concrete example of what behavior needs such accurate preservation kind of defeats the purpose of asking the question in the first place.

If the answer is "for the sake of it" that is also fine. But I'm unaware of anything post-P3 that would really require cycle-level emulation, so I ask. Most PC emulators "draw the line" around that era for a reason, even the ones who wouldn't necessarily have performance problems with newer machines (like DosBox).

> But since this discussion started, you've only really come out swinging with disparagement. One has to wonder why you are putting so much energy into suppressing and trashing someone's hobby.

What do you think? Because not only I have the same hobby, my work is also related to this. I am most definitely not interested in thrashing it.

It is also the _main thesis_ of this entire article, so why shouldn't we discuss it?

SFPD is not ignoring crime; they are vastly understaffed, as a result of London Breed's "defund the police" move in 2020.

They do not have the resources to respond to all crime anymore. They have to do triage with the depleted resources they have available. They only have enough officers on duty to respond to the most serious violent crimes (and sometimes, not even that.) Everything else is tier 2.

There are likely problems with the code even under Debian3 too if it won't build on more modern toolchains.

First is make some simple test case scripts that work on Debian 3, so you can cheaply get a feel for if it still works once it's building again. Run these after evety build.

You might want to run it under valgrind on Debian 3 and fix any bugs coming up there before trying to clean it on a modern toolchain. Because it will be much easier to find and fix those when it runs well and you don't have to guess if the problem is the newer toolchain.

You might want to crank up the compiler warnings step by step on Debian 3 first, and fix those first.

Then bring the cleaned and still working code to a new toolchain, under valgrind.

Don't worry if there are pages of compile errors... these are usually a handful of things wrong appearing in multiple places.

in addition to the papers you can pick in the polling station, in the week before the election, French people should receive the papers for all available candidates, so you don't even have to take a paper at the same time as the envelop (or take a few papers and then use one from your pocket).

I'd love to see copies/scans of all of these articles. That would make for fascinating reading.
SF is not a particularly large city relative to other major cities. It's not even the biggest city in the Bay Area (San Jose). Geographically, it's very small, just 7x7, and the amount of space where one can rent office space (especially a significant amount for a growing company) is a small fraction of that.

I'd be really surprised if you told me you live in SF. Getting screamed at as you're walking through the Financial District during working hours on a weekday is commonplace. Feces is commonplace. Maybe you've heard of the Tenderloin and how bad it is? That's almost adjacent to the FiDi.

Add to the fact that these things, plus the move towards WFH coupled with insane housing costs, are driving large numbers of workers out of SF, and why wouldn't a company move out? They'd probably put up with the crime if they still had to be there in order to attract top-tier talent, but once the talent leaves, there's no point in staying, enduring harrassment and the smell of urine and feces, and paying sky-high rents.

> Politically you may be right. As a piece of policy, it's a solution in search of a problem.

Voter ID, yeah; but lack of ID, no. My understanding is not having photo ID causes people way more problems than just difficulty voting. If you can solve a real issue through a non-issue, why not?

> Even in places like the UK (which have ID-free voting) personation is essentially a non-problem. Literally a handful of votes a year

That's not the whole problem, though. The other issue is perceptions. If people are no longer trusting and they perceive impersonation as an issue, all the assertions that impersonation isn't a problem aren't going to do any good to rebuild trust.

No, PFAS is not like Nuclear. The biggest problem with Nuclear are explosions with extreme risks. PFAS had lead in the past to birth defects - even during "normal" plant operation

That said, until shit had been hitting the fan a lot of facts about PFAS had been kept in secrecy with active manipulation going on. Even today there isn't much authorative and practical information available.

Also the practical benefit of Teflon pans over say Emaille or iron pans is more than questionable. Are professional cooks really using Teflon pans?
Thank you! That's not the exact figure I remember seeing, but it's probably the same data.
My original claim was that cities are dangerous places. This relatively anodyne claim was met with claims that not all cities are dangerous (a false statement; show me any city and I'll show you where to find plenty of danger), which doesn't refute anything I said, let alone bring up any data. In fact, they characterize their argument as "incredible", so I don't know how I'm supposed to take that. Like, if you're telling me something is incredible but you don't back that up with any credible data, what am I supposed to say? It seems like we're all going with our personal experience here as 0 data have been brought up or offered by anyone.

If anyone wants to offer some data about the safety of western cities in Europe, I'll show you some data that demonstrates they are dangerous. The only thing we'll be quibbling over is degrees of danger and how much one city is more dangerous than another, but again that doesn't refute a single thing I said in my original post, which was just to say that cities are dangerous. Which if you are upset about the usage of the word "are" in this context, then change it to "can be" to make you feel better.
I like it. I do not like the back button behavior though.

I might see if you can fix that at some point in the future. You probably have other things to fix first. Great idea though.
Trust may be misplaced. What is said in the neutral environment may be fed back to management.

I've been noticing a somewhat similar boom of new good-looking apps in the GTK/Gnome world. Although those are mostly smaller projects (single developer free-time pet-projects) with very small scope (doing one very small thing well), but the sheer number of those good new projects is amazing compared to the status quo of a decade or so ago.

And although you credited the MacOS specific applications boom entirely to the good toolkit, I think the GTK/Gnome app resurgence comes from a synergy of three factors:

1. The rise of more ergonomic programing languages (Rust, Go, ...) that make desktop app development more fun (GTK programing in C works, but it is like pulling teeth, soo much boilerplate).

2. The rise of new app distribution channels on Linux (e.g. Flathub)

3. And the improvements to the toolkit.
> The primary issue is that the photo IDs are not easily accessible(time and money) in US.

Isn't that pretty much a myth? The vast majority of people have a photo ID and many states which require one also give one for free. The only onerous impediment is that you have to go get one.
FreeDOS perhaps.
Hope it's not a red herring.
A state with nuclear weapons and ruled by an authoritarian tyrant without any counterbalances is waging a war while throwing threats to other nuclear weapon states.

This is happening in the part of the world where I live in.

Furthermore, the countries involved in this war are the biggest exporters of some crops and we could be facing global famines this very same year.

So, no.

I'm going to wager that the majority of comments here will be along the lines of, "ok, doomer."

That's where we are now. More than forty years of denialism and anti-science political pandering brought us here. With all of the calamities happening in the world right now, many people "just want to go back to normal." Unfortunately what was normal sucked.

Normal is advertising, marketing, and campaigning to ensure people feel personally responsible for the climate crisis. Normal is articles and helpful guides on how you can reduce your, "carbon footprint." Normal is green-washing products so that you continue along consuming as much as possible without having to feel like there is anything wrong with it.

Normal is paying lobbyists to prevent any action on climate change from impeding any industry from reaping profits off exploiting the environment. Normal is making sure that coal plants continue to burn, oil continues to be extracted and traded.

Normal is making sure people feel like they ought to take several vacations around the world every year. That they ought to have more than one car, live in a neighbourhood that requires it, that driving to work for an hour and a half each way five days a week is a totally normal thing to do.

Normal is making sure nobody notices how weird it is that we bottle water in plastic and sell it. Normal is making sure nobody notices that big corporations set up these operations on stolen land and avoid persecution for endangering the lives of the people that live there and the environment they operate in.

There's so much more about, "let's get back to normal," that is just gross.

Why do we want to get back to that? Is it even each of us, individually, that want this or is it someone else? Who benefits the most from, "going back to normal?"

If the pandemic has taught us something it should be that we can radically and quickly alter social structures when we need to. I try not to let all of the anti-mask/vaxx pressure from a vocal minority make me cynical. But I haven't forgotten the wild fires, floods, hurricanes, heat waves, record ice sheet loss, missing glaciers, and the thousands of species going extinct and into decline. Going back to normal is going back into the past. That sucked. I think we should be looking to the future. Make a new normal that sucks a bit less.
