STRiDEXon ‘I lost everything:’ Homelessness surges in Silicon Valley

These articles always find insane numbers. People pack into apartments and houses before leaving. I lived in Santa Clara right near the Caltrain tracks, which is in no way a ghetto area. But 2-3 bedroom apartments frequently had 4 or more cars and ~2-4 adults and 1-2 kids. Our apartment was a 3 bedroom 2 bath and was 2500 and we had 3 of us and 3 cars. This was my first apartment after college with two friends, was cheap for me as a junior dev.

STRiDEXon Global Demand for Bitcoin Shifts Wildly in Response to Regulation

coinbase makes it simple. I think they'll be able to hold onto it as well.

node-sass uses precompiled binary unless you're on a version of node that hasn't had a published binary or one of the few other reasons.

STRiDEXon Engineers in San Francisco Have Mediocre Take Home Pay

STRiDEXon Consider a Dell Optiplex FX160 Instead of a Raspberry Pi

Here's a google spreadsheet someone put up the last time other options were talked about https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1TCugLk0GSukeWjhsLu73...

STRiDEXon Noun Project – Icons for Everything

I read some designers discussing the filter icon usually being a funnel which doesn't do much filtering. It does funnel something into something. https://thenounproject.com/search/?q=filter interesting to see the other options that show up.

STRiDEXon TypeScript at Slack

You don't. You'd have to use something like https://github.com/hapijs/joi

STRiDEXon Vultr introduces $2.50/month plan

It is a pretty good deal, maybe they'll raise that to 3 since most clusters require 3. I wonder if competition could otherwise spin up a bunch and make their loss leader (if it is a loss leader) into something unsustainable.

STRiDEXon Copper is key in burning fat

My bottle of Bayer mens one a day says 2mg 100%

STRiDEXon Cruise Shows Off Level 4 Skills in SF, Passing Uber and Maybe Waymo

At one of the red lights it comes to a complete stop then crawls forward. 0:49 Maybe because of the cars turning left. That stood out to me

STRiDEXon RxDB – Local JavaScript-Database

Its exactly what i was expecting, but i've been looking at projects like https://github.com/ngrx/db lately. Maybe the title should say IndexedDB somewhere.

Server side rxjs db... I'm not sure what that would be.

Saw this on hacker news the other day https://gist.github.com/alirobe/7f3b34ad89a159e6daa1

STRiDEXon Wi-Fi TimeSync

My friend was using wireless speakers for his projector. Noticeable lag between the speakers and the mouths on screen. Ended up throwing wires to the speakers to fix it.

STRiDEXon Show HN: Angular 2 HN – A progressive Hacker News client that works offline

Really cool. Love angular-cli so far. Would like to see the styling from https://vue-hn.now.sh/top used as I think the animations are challenging to replicate in angular 2.

STRiDEXon Maya – Python Datetimes for Humans

I've used timezones with momentjs. http://momentjs.com/timezone/ Its great. The parsing also has a strict mode http://momentjs.com/docs/#/parsing/string-format/

When did you last use it? I love working with momentjs.

STRiDEXon Ok, let me explain: it’s going to be Angular 4.0

The internal changes include upgrading from typescript 1.8 to typescript 2.x. WHAT A CHAOS

STRiDEXon Dear JavaScript

I remember that angular 2 thread. Half of the problems were the breaking changes between release candidates. I was one of those early adopters, pushing my code along between releases. It was bad, but nothing I didn't expect. They talked about the changes and explained the motives clearly.

I think the problem is people want to be bleeding edge without joining the community.

Edit: question for James. What did you build with angular 2? Is it public?

STRiDEXon Htop explained

Use https://github.com/yaronn/blessed-contrib or something similar

STRiDEXon Brew commands send data to Google Analytics

I've seen this crop up a few times recently and a vocal minority seems to panic every time. I ran into it the other day installing pm2 w/ npm which downloads an optional package that they use for analytics https://github.com/Unitech/pm2/blob/master/package.json#L184

Is the problem that they are using google's service? Is it the tracking that people don't like? Is it the messaging/copy to the users? I'm sure there's plenty of people on hacker news that build analytics software for a living. I've worked on email click and open tracking. Doesn't seem terrible if it helps them build their product.
