For me, it’s messages like “How’s it going at City and County of San Francisco?”

Certainly one of the best child-proofing mechanisms I’ve seen

I would like to ask: do you have a position on the following?

- an allowlist/blocklist to replace whitelist/blacklist

-primary/replica to replace master/slave

Also, how old are you? I’m not young but not old and I don’t associate racial overtones to the latter terms

When I search for restaurants with an “open now” filter, it shows me restaurants that are closed… according to Google maps. Not sure if anyone else has seen this happen.

Yep, everyone’s happy until the cosmic rays hit

This without a mention of Clipper is odd. The Clipper Card system is the most likely target for expansion of the current infrastructure.

Considering I can’t even go into BART and come out the same station moments later without being charged $6, which is non refundable unless I give my name and address, I have little hope for this idea.

I know one member of the relatively new Clipper software team, which was brought in with a mandate to consolidate and expand functionality, and it doesn’t sound like they are exceptionally skilled or productive.

*Under a building near city hall, for those of us trying to think of where in Elections this thing could possibly be, heh.

Exactly right. If you could make it in 1980s/90s NY, you can make it here. If it isn’t for you, that’s fine.

I’m having lunch down the street right now. There’s nothing forcing them to work remotely.

It’s not THAT bad here. Different and a bit more dangerous than most places. More hectic, dirtier, homelessness, drug use, etc.

Some of the people on the street have hearts of gold. They deserve a narrative too.

But hey, if these negative stories keep undesirables (read: suburban people who complain about everything) out of the city, I don’t mind.

Sitting here in Chinatown ending a tradition!

Wow, very similar experience with a flight that had to be re-booked for the next day. They swore up and down in Paris that I’d be compensated for the hotel stay, but I couldn’t get them to commit in writing even after a two hour conversation.

It was baffling that they weren’t worn down by that point. I suppose that was their thinking too.

Seconded regarding the versatility. I ran a pre-admission clinic from a VBA app inside Excel for a major university hospital.

I’m a recent divorcee who was unhoused for the past few months but sheltered in very cheap hotels in San Francisco before recently signing a lease to continue living in an SRO on a month to month basis.

The divorce was a shock to the finances but not a big one. I make over $100k and am just now zeroing out my debt, much of which was education related.

The reason I haven’t signed a serious lease for a proper apartment in the city is because I look at apartment prices and just can’t bring myself to pay $2300+ for a place for myself. Studios below that price or living out of the city do not appeal to me, nor does living with roommates after a few recent experiences with that. I don’t do drugs or have any mental health issues.

I think there are others like me in the city - willing to accept Spartan accommodations rather than throw thousands of dollars to live in slightly better conditions - but I have not yet met any.

I feel like I am basically gentrifying the lowest level of housing before homelessness.

My finances are healthy and I am saving at a decent clip which is similar to a huge raise in salary.

I get that SF is one of the most expensive cities in the world, but when I look at other housing markets, I’ve noticed that rents are more similar to SF than in the past.

Millennials are pretty strained financially right now, Gen Z even more so. Minor shocks that would have been inconsequential for previous generations have become embiggened.

I own the DocuSign subreddit. We are going dark permanently… until Reddit decides to reassign it to reps from the company. This is part and parcel of the hollowing out of the platform.

This has the potential to “peel off” some portion of anti-vax moderates; maybe some who are looking for a way to save face as they re-enter the pro-vax fold.

Lives will be saved. Bravo, Micron Biomed

Also, it is kind of like an extreme version of the risks of flying cars. One hubcap/collision can mean catastrophic downstream effects.

Here is a list of Vice Chancellor salaries in Australia. Even in public institutions, they get paid handsomely - more than the Prime Minister.

I’m of the opposite opinion. At this stage, he has heard the counter arguments. He is smart enough to know what he is doing.

I genuinely think he is making these statements to wind us up, though I don’t guess as to why.

You’re right to identify nuance, but there is a lot of devil in the details regarding classification

You can go to ninite.com and download the installer for FileZilla. What’s cool about it is that you can keep double clicking the same installer file to update it.

I live in SF and volunteer in the Tenderloin. I absolutely love it here. No idea what is going on with the public perception of this city. Just seems like a lot of political hot air.

When you get down to the street level and actually talk with some of the people out here, you realize that they are people too. There’s a lot of humanity missing from the discussions about SF.

Things might be dirty or smelly or even unsafe in particular areas, but I wouldn’t trade living here for anywhere else. And I’ve lived in a lot of places.

Box did this same thing at the large, public university where my department was responsible for the implementation and maintenance of the project.

It was so wildly predictable, yet every time I went to our businesspeople they claimed without irony that there would be “unlimited storage” and that “it’s not a problem”. Didn’t tolerate dissent. I eventually ended up leaving and claiming that it was a finite universe.

Now they are locked in hard, and trying to figure out how to keep the number of seats they paid for by removing accounts. No policy from the beginning on that, so they are having issues.

So predictable.

Can anyone point me in the direction of companies that are pointedly not using Agile/Scrum?

I understand that embedded and large systems are most likely to eschew agile as it's frequently not a good fit for the work, but I work in Python/Django mostly at the moment.

Scrum especially seems to fail in spectacular ways vs. other production methodologies in that when Scrum fails, it can be a net negative to the company. I feel as if I were to restrict my job search to companies that have anti-"Agile" methodologies, I would be more likely to work in a true agile environment.

I understand the pressures that create Scrum, as nature hates a vacuum, but I can't understand why there isn't any slack at all to experiment and fail in most smaller organizations. Perhaps we're disinclined to "hire smart people and get out of their way" nowadays, because we can only make data-driven decisions.

I'm sure that the best products are made by a small dedicated team of competent individuals communicating openly with one another, and I'm equally sure that success is rarer among those orgs. But, as someone with a degree in psychology, it's plain to see how operationalizing healthy communication patterns can have a counterintuitive result.

I’m hesitant to give examples unfortunately but yes to the above and lots of what we do is bespoke whereas we could leverage Django for a lot of it. How are you putting it together? Independent Python classes that exist outside of most of Django core?

I’ve been using DDD with Django/DRF and as a mid level, I’m confused as to why we aren’t leaning on native Django more and writing less boilerplate. I don’t know if this is a common complaint though.

I would join you if you were serious about it

I wonder how many self-hosted GitLab instances are configured with the same assumption in mind

I'm interested to hear the answer to this, as an American living in Europe who has deleted his Facebook account while living here.

The bugginess of the nouveau driver has been an accepted fact since time immemorial. Hence the reason for Torvalds' middle finger on the subject. Nvidia is slowly coming around but the arc of history isn't treating it well.
