The main difference I see between bikes/pedestrians and cars/motorcycles is that there is minimal cost/effort to reverse and change your mind. So, on a bike or on foot, you can jaywalk or run a red light by slowly peeking out and making sure it's safe. If someone with the right of way is coming, you can simple stop and let them by. You absolutely can't do that with a car or motorcycle.

My general rule, as both biker and pedestrian, is to not get in the way of others who have the right of way. They shouldn't have to change course or worry about you. Most pedestrians (and plenty bikers too) are absolutely clueluess though. They don't look for bike lanes, they walk in the bikelanes, they jaywalk without looking if a bike (or car) is coming, they open car doors without looking, etc. I think this frustrates a lot of bikers, so they end up not caring and trying to ride through a crosswalk full of pedestrians and doing other asshole things, but I don't think that's the norm.

As a reasonable adult, I know I shouldn't jaywalk or run a red light because they are rules, but I have confidence via my senses that I can do that with absolute safety and respect for myself and others.
Thanks for articulating this, although you may have just started a religious war.

My only addition is why cyclists don't completely stop at stop signs. It's a LOT of work to get up to speed from a dead stop, so it seems a bit pointless to do it when you can clearly see that no one is in the intersection. Also, as you are trying to accelerate from a dead stop, it takes a while to get through the intersection. If there does happen to be a motorist there, they have to sit and wait while you (slowly) go by. It isn't necessarily legal, but cyclists not completely stopping probably helps everyone.
The graphics support sounds neat for (developer) workstation usage, hope it gets at least a basic suspend/hibernate support soon to complete the picture.

If you are removing yourself from the road for _every single_ car, regardless of the direction of travel, then maybe it doesn't matter.

If you are going to stay on the road with other vehicles: You _never_ ride against traffic. Drivers are less likely to see you if you are biking where they normally don't anticipate any traffic. Even in a rural environment, biking with the flow of traffic gives the driver better visual cues that something else is on the road (you) and they have more time to plan their approach. It also gives them more time to find something appropriate to throw at you.

I think that they might just want to profit from all the love going into LLVM. Currenlty hotspot has costum optimization and if you have a product based on it you have to maintain this and improve it. If you manage to creat a fast powerful LLVM based JVM you can profit from the other work going into that space and maybe distance yourself from the orcale standard.

However, currently not that many JIT are LLVM based so it seams that it needs some love to get this to working well. Both for GC and compilation speed. Thats at least my guess.
How many shows have opening credits this long anymore?

You have some shows, like The Good Wife, that use a five-second title card.

Some have more elaborate titles, but still only go 15 seconds (e.g. The Mindy Project)

Compare with an 80's show like Dallas, where the credits went a whole 1:10! That's like lost real estate for two or three commercials!

That was the point hundreds of years ago, but its now fairly inaccurate. For the purposes of food labeling, a fluid ounce is defined as 30mL, which makes a fluid ounce of water weigh almost 5% more than an ounce. Sodas are typically more dense - Coke is 10% more dense than water, for example, for a total weight of over 13.5 ounces for a 12 fl oz can. Seems like a pretty big difference to me.

I find this data very 'surpising'. Average rent in Rockridge: 1775, Average Rent in Fruitvale: 2300. For those not familiar, Rockridge is probably the fanciest, most expensive neighborhood in Oakland, whereas Fruitvale is a 'hood where you won't find a lot of people walking around after dark.
If that's the case, Millbrae is a great stop. It has good schools, a safe downtown with many local shops, and a library. These are all within walking distance of the BART station. As an added bonus the station is the only station that also houses the Caltrain.

The only draw back is that a ride to/from say, the Embarcadero can be fairly long at times, sometimes approaching 45 mins off peak. Yes, I know it's only supposed to be 35 mins, but from my experience it's always a bit longer.
How about trying to understand and deal with the root-cause of people shooting up schools?

As the companies I work(ed) for evolve from JS => jQuery => Backbone.JS => Backbone.JS + Marionette => EmberJS, so does my skill have to evolve. I also have to write some JS code on top of PhantomJS + CasperJS (not for automation testing but instead for performance monitoring) to support enterprise product at the moment.

I used to hate JS with passion but now after seeing Chromebook, Chrome Apps, NodeJS, and my current favorite: MeteorJS. I just have to suck it up and learn JS to be honest...

Would I bet an enterprise app to use NodeJS if it was using my own money? Probably No. Would I bet my weekend projects and ideas on NodeJS/EmberJS/JS? Yes.

I think the JS ecosystem is still unstable and a big mess but let's hope it moves to a better direction.
We used SoftICE extensively for driver debugging. I seem to remember a pushbutton that slid into the ISA slot to trigger a NMI but now I'm not quite sure anymore if it was SoftICE or Periscope that had that.
...and commute time. The mission and 24th price quoted at $2.8k is a 15 minute commute to downtown SF compared to a 51 minute commute from the Milbrae at $1.8k. That's $12k over a year compared to 37 work days of extra commute time, which is more than a month and a half of work days over the course of the year. Starting tech salary for a new college grad is what, $110k? With all the free time in the world, it might be worth it, but go up from there and it quickly gets questionable.

Median posted rental prices may not be a great metric. Some comparisons don't pass the smell test - West Oakland should not be more expensive than Glen Park or Berkeley. Berkeley should not be cheaper than Fruitvale or Lake Merritt.
I am surprised at all of the hate that Yahoo! is receiving for this, in the comments section of Hacker News (not surprisingly). This is great in my opinion, I think React.js is definitely the future of SPA's especially when combined with the Flux architecture. As someone who has been using React on a daily basis for the last few months, I have a severe man-crush on it. It just makes so much sense, combined with something like Browserify and working with a isomorphic workflow (shared codebase front and back-end).

And those who say Yahoo! are just jumping onboard the React hype train or Node.js hype train, you have it all wrong. Yahoo! have been using Node.js for the last few years, in-fact early 2010 is around the time Yahoo! engineers started playing with Node.js, long before it was considered mainstream cool or being used really in any high-profile scale environment.

It is rare that a company the size of Yahoo! truly ever embraces moving at this kind of pace and embracing new open source technologies, languages, frameworks and libraries. Now that Yahoo! have openly declared their use of React on such a large scale, expect it to explode even more so in 2015. For an open source project that is a little over a year old, React is getting the kind of user-base and adoption that most open source projects can only dream of having.

This news excites me. I honestly cannot wait to see how it all turns out.

PS. I have noticed a few people in the comments section getting confused. Yahoo! Mail is NOT using React just yet. The current mail product is still using YUI and plain HTML/Javascript. If you read through, it mentions 2015...

It's the "Nigerian Prince wants to give you $100M" email scam scaled up another notch.

Where that was a pure numbers game, the criminal knows if they send out 1M emails, 1% will engage, and of that 1% they will get 1% to send money, that "scam" could easily be thwarted with a simple click of the delete button in you inbox or the increase of spam filtering to help the unsuspecting or unknowing not start the process at all.

This online extortion is certainly more aggressive and has an immediate effect on your life. Criminals are always looking for the next way to get ahead, I wonder where the "spam filter" to thwart this effort will come from and what they will move on to next.

Umm, the site you linked appears to say exactly the opposite. Here's what is says:

> Illegal insider trading refers generally to buying or selling a security, in breach of a fiduciary duty or other relationship of trust and confidence, while in possession of material, nonpublic information about the security.

Here is an example it gives of insider trading:

> Employees of law, banking, brokerage and printing firms who were given such information to provide services to the corporation whose securities they traded;

Isn't that exactly what the parent is describing? The banks used nonpublic information given to them to provide other services.
The argument here is why would you want to look so similar to your competitor when you have plenty of money to set yourself apart.

"is to not get in the way of others who have the right of way"

IMO that should be the rule for everyone :) The point I was trying to make was that often in these sorts of debates I see a lot of finger pointing between drivers & cyclists, with the cyclists saying, "Yeah, but we're more vulnerable - you all need to be more careful and allow us to do XYZ". But then they ignore that there's a third party who is even more vulnerable and often the behavior the cyclists propose increases danger to that third party.

"that I can do that with absolute safety and respect for myself and others."

As I said elsewhere in this thread, I'm AOK with people doing whatever they like in terms of traffic rules as long as it has zero impact on other people. Running red lights, jaywalking, etc - if no one is around, who cares? I jaywalk multiple times a day around the corner from my house - I live just off a busy main drag with very few crosswalks, so I just wait until there's a massive gap in the traffic on both sides and run across. OTOH I see people crossing that street all the time by just walking out and holding their hands up to signal to drivers that they should stop ... sorry, but no.

Hmm, yeah, I always felt that was weird as a default since most beginners probably don't know vi/vim. Now I have to wonder why the default doesn't just take input on stdin for the commit message. Well, I guess you lose the ability to edit previous lines so maybe that's it. I guess nano as a default would probably be reasonable.

A couple folks have mentioned some of the numbers being off and not passing the sniff test. It's important to look at the methodology. All they did was calculate the median for all rentals within 1/2 mile of the station, as the crow flies.

Glen Park is a perfect example of how this goes wrong. It's right next to a freeway, and the homes right on the other side in the not so good neighborhood, while far away from BART, are counted because as the crow flies they are very close.

The relative strengths is ability to change vs stability.

Generally here, the development skills vary more between individuhals than between age groups.
Straight out of university, young developers tends to have done smaller projects (1-4 team members, 100 man hours each) and have excellent technical knowledge about latest toolkits. They will be able to solve very difficult technical issues and have an agile mind.
They do not have experience from issues arising in larger projects (10-100 developers) due to legacy code, support agreements, management issues, project methodology, and they haven't even tought of corporate culture and office politics yet (sometimes for the better). The love for "my new stuff is better than the old code" can lead to design decisions which causes untested technologies to be used in the wrong places.
Young developers often have no kids and sometimes no spouse, which makes them work long hours,and be very flexible in crunch times.

Older developers tends to have spouses and kids and responsibilities. This sometimes is a problem, but it can also force them to release the code as soon as possible, instead of doing a third or fifth round of optimisations and improvements. Older developers have seen the office politics and shenanigans several times and try to avoid them or even handle them. The older developer may sometimes be lazy and stick with older tools instead of new technologies, which can make products look and feel like they were designed last decade. But in large corporations, it's better with a released working code that looks old but is stable, than code which isn't stable.

Money-wise it's a toss-up. The extra experience from older programmers comes at a premium cost, which most of the time makes me assign junior programmers for the bulk of the work and senior ones for architecture etc.
