101km

The first time I went to work here a few months ago I got out of the Lyft around 9am and two meters away a homeless man was injecting something into his veins. My office is in the Mission.

Some parts of San Francisco are very dirty and the homeless issue is not exaggerated. Everybody knows about the Tenderloin at night.

With that being said, I drove across the US two years ago and if you keep your eyes open you realize it is all over - Portland and Seattle are no better, just less talked about.

My rent is $1300, I live with one roommate on Russian Hill. I'm flexible and lucky so this is not representative. A girl I know who works at Google lives in inner Richmond (arguably a less desirable area) by herself and pays nearly triple for some reason.

It is hard to find a proper gym for less than a Benjamin and food is above average for an American city but hilariously expensive. Good way to gauge is pick some fast food chain and compare, Dennys is x2 here than the rest of the country.

All in all this place isn't the shiny happy city you'd imagine from watching Full House or or the counter culture epicenter of hippie times gone by. It doesn't suck, I'd definitely visit for a week or two if you have never been, and there's a lot of history here but in the end it is no longer a very remarkable place to live.

I know you can have a workspace and edit local files via Chrome, but is there really no simple way to "close the loop" and sync the devtools changes to a local file?

This extension is a nice step in that direction but still involves copy/paste and editing.

That is actually fixed now.

Ah, darn, I'm a few hours late so you will probably miss it but I wanted to ask for a long time:

Sounds like a lot of stuff like this has accumulated. Your dedication to backwards compatibility (and testing) is always very impressive, but don't you ever get the urge to do a parallel "SQLite Next" effort as it were? Kind of like python had the 2/3 years.

I've spent ~1 month tramping all over Cuba. This is absolutely spot on.

Continuously the last two years, 30+ countries. :)

What kind of details are you looking for? I unbox at the Apple store and:

- Temporarily turn off Spotlight & Time Machine (Permanently) because it helpfully tries to index everything and tinker with a handful of system preferences while a memorized curl|bash runs

Mostly appearance related. This can also be automated but doesn't seem worth it as it only takes a minute. I don't use iCloud.

- Selective sync with Dropbox (which was just installed for me), mostly for the 1Password folder, while the rest of the script runs. Read HN or better yet about the new surroundings.

- Manually run software update and reboot into my now familiar machine

- Turn spotlight back on

I do forget to remap the esc key each time I do this, or the name of the thingie that helps you do that, that's about the only noticeable difference between old and new machines.

Agreed.

With that said, some none negligible chunk of the issues you linked fall into cosmetic (better error message), proposals, works as intended (docs could improve) or self inflicted misconfigurations of running a go beta. 53 sounds worse than it is.

I don't know why this had so much drama around it to be honest. And yes, it is far from perfect, it will be approximately as crummy as python/ruby/node which is still an improvement.
