100% agreed. There is no "by right" construction in San Francisco. If you want to build a building that fully within the intended zoning and use of the space as currently determined by the city, it is still subject to conditional

It seems clear that there's a difference between a reasonable set of policy prescriptions and wholesale slaughter of human beings.

100% agree with this. I'm working with a new team and our (remote) PM loves scheduling long meetings (60 minutes when we sometimes finish in 20). I'm trying to help him see that we don't need to block out 30 or 60 minutes for

One of my favorite long form pieces of all time. I think about this piece probably once a month.

I worked on the blog team for Barack Obama's '08 campaign. The comments section developed a culture of posting a link to their personal fundraising page as the top comment, and other commenters would then donate to it. Someone on

My company is actually very interested in using Optimizely server-side, but unfortunately there is no Go SDK. Would love to see that happen.

I'm a programmer who spends all day in Go working on backend systems, but came to it from Javascript, my first language. Pointers were one of the concepts that took me the longest to understand, even having dug into them previously in

What's the backup tool you use? I've had trouble finding something that works.

Flow gets a good amount of the way there; it doesn't have quite the tooling of TypeScript but VSCode is actually able to bring a lot of that tooling to a Flow-typed codebase. Just yesterday I finished a major refactor that I'm not

I wasn't responsible for setup, but we've been using Buildkite ( https://buildkite.com ) for our CI and it's been very nice. We run it through a Kubernetes cluster of workers and as far as I can tell it's been

I remember the day Oink went down. Sad, but What.cd grew out of it.

I had a really stellar interview experience at Asana (and, full disclosure, I didn't get an offer). What really stood out was the pages of notes that the recruiter sent me before inviting me to apply again in a few months. I had just b

I once had a "lifeguarding" job that was 20% making sure people didn't drown, 60% janitorial work and pool equipment maintenance with toxic chemicals, and 20% listening to snotty members of the country club say incredibly ton

What an excellent article. I've understood how side-channel attacks could occur, but this is the first thing that I've read that makes the link to how they actually are performed. Thank you.

Interesting package but I'm curious about the choice of Firebase. Seems like Firebase's data binding model is antithetical to the patterns React encourages (unidirectional flow/Flux).

Another of the 10,000 here - this is such a delightful story. Also just discovered the "units" conversion program and disappointed that the default Mac library has only 586 units. And shockingly there don't seem to be compati
