Devs that don't think about the environment their code runs in are bad devs. Sadly, this group seems to be large.

2 years ago I moved to SF from a shithole city. I had taken off like 3 years to work on my own projects. It was more difficult than I expected to find a job without any connections. Took about 3 months after moving here.

I think there's at least some bias against people who have taken time off because they appear comfortable not having a job and therefore the company has less leverage over them.

Promoted? Yes. Actually? No.

Interesting inclusion of intellectual property as a top level subject.

On limited information, this sounds like a work around on a root problem of runaway dependencies.

Maybe something like proguard could reduce deployable jar size to only the classes used.

I assume these are daily dev deploys and not production deploys.

If they did, they should allow humans and limit the amount of energy used during the matches, like calories in a tuna sandwich.

What does their blood test tech not working have to do with regulators?

Most of these lose on weather, culture or proximity to the ocean for me.

All of SF isn't easy car free, but I live downtown. SF could have significantly better mass transit. In order to get completely car free in my lifetime would probably require opt in to a new city due to people who have jobs related to things that should be removed.

NYC is too dense and the main prominent industries appear to be wall Street, advertising, and fashion which are not things I like. Car traffic is also pretty horrible.

I work remotely in SF. I live here because I like not owning a car, walking and biking most places, and non-tech things to do. I'm just lucky I can afford it. The solution is to build more good US cities that aren't car centric. I'm not aware of any. Build a from scratch city with a target of at least 250k residents on the California coast and I'll move.

I don't know how many people think similarly, but there's still a lot of non-tech people in SF.

Podiversity.com - Netflix for Podcasts. Limited shows so far.

Every show or network shouldn't have an app. Users need a simple consistent user interface.

Also, teach the robot to replace it's own battery or fuel.

My impression from the article was that the sellers didn't have independent agents. They were approached by the buyer's agent when not even listing their house.

Wouldn't they just get a job to offset expenses or move to a cheaper city?
