The curse of the north bay is the lack of trains. BART runs to the east bay, but not the north. The ferry is basically worthless if you don't actually live in San Rafael. It's a nice ride, but very slow, and not cheap. Personally, I quite

Then I expect the average developer could get a big bump in salary working for an SF company. But it's not a free lunch: cost of living is high here and some things like commuting are terrible. I know developers who moved back to Minnesota

I can only speak for web application development, but $140k is definitely not for "extraordinarily experienced and talented programmers only" in San Francisco for someone doing js/rails. Are the people you know working in startups where par

It is true that for people to buy ideas they must have value. But the transaction must also be feasible. The trouble with ideas is that I can't easily prove to you the idea is valuable without having already given it to you, thus destroyi

I second dekz's encouragement. I went from windows/eclipse to windows/eclipse + cygwin to linux/eclipse to linux/vim(et. al). It's worth it. It really is. At some point you will marvel that you ever thought it was a good idea to navigate

The difference being that the magician deceives you for your own benefit and at your request. Though the CEO and politician deceive you (or lie with the intent to deceive), you didn't ask them to.

I agree. This is the reason I no longer watch the show. It may be "longing for the old days", but I feel like the earlier seasons had a higher ratio of explanation to repeated viewing of explosions.

You know, if I had a terminal emulator that I could run vim with 24-bit colour depth in, that would go a long way towards turning me from the path of heresy.
