@MichaelMcG4 @Scott_Wiener @SFBART Someone is walking through it in this video but they've been edited out x.com/kts/status/174…

At 0:10 someone is fare evading through the emergency gate directly to the right of these new gates but they've been blurred out.

@Scott_Wiener @SFBART What about the gate on the right that people just walk through?

The new BART fare gates in action — kicking off at West Oakland & coming to a station near you! BART is doing what’s needed to modernize & improve the system. BART is essential to the Bay Area’s future. Shoring up & transforming our transit systems is a huge priority for me.

i don't think iMessage extension apps have seen any love since launch in iOS 10... i'm getting an auto-layout update on background thread crash for every single message from my app - I have no control over that.. it's the Messages/extension machinery that is modifying the layout

Seeing a large migration away from Rails convinced me of the benefits of languages where types are checked at compile time. Twitter existing in 2023 is proof that you can get pretty far with Rails but eventually the tech debt bill comes due

DHH@dhh

Gotta love the pivot from "it doesn't scale" to "you can't write real systems without types" as the new ding-dong argument against dynamically-typed languages like Ruby (and vanilla JavaScript and Smalltalk and...). rubyonrails.org

@saulsugarman @fionama Once you've experienced the alternative I think you'd wonder why we can't do it that way here. I doubt this law has deterred many underage wine-buying attempts but it's added 5-10 minutes to countless legitimate transactions. And I often see shoplifters walk out while I'm in line

@kts @fionama The alcohol bit never bothered me -- I just wondered why they couldn't have the self-checkout supervisor person check your ID and approve that purchase.

Saul Sugarman@saulsugarman·11 Eyl

... then cancel your streaming membership and start going to OG video stores, too? 🤷‍♂️ I think we can have self-checkouts and local shops. I like this illustration though. 💕🥰

Robin Galante Art 🎨@RobinGalante1

Self-checkouts make me so sad. I will wait in a long line just to enjoy a little chat with the checkers. It’s such a gift to go to the smaller shops where we all know each others’ names. Support your local grocery store and get to know the folks who work there. ❤️

@terronk @MLNow @eyessfboe @LydiaChavezZ Oh, yeah... The purpose of the tower is obvious to everyone but the reporter. Plaza regulars (who hang around all day and sell goods for cash w/o collecting sales tax or issuing receipts) are 50-50 on it. Doubt anyone who walks through on their BART commute was interviewed.

Lee Edwards@terronk·30 Ağu

@kts @MLNow @eyessfboe @LydiaChavezZ Agreed. I was talking about the original article, which is full of the usual pro-crime bias.

UPDATE: Just a day after it was first erected, the panopticon-like tower at 24th Street BART is gone.

@terronk @MLNow @eyessfboe @LydiaChavezZ "UPDATE: tower is gone" is just reporting local news as it happens without extra commentary, which imo is something ML does very well and should be applauded for. Sometimes their writing is heavy on the author's opinion and lighter on facts, but not in this case afaict

@MLNow @eyessfboe @LydiaChavezZ I’ll apologize for unintentionally misgendering the author. I had misremembered this piece from when I read it the other day as a Joe Eskanazi’s. Won’t apologize for criticizing your paper, Fox News, or anything else that’s lowering the discourse via absurd wingnut journalism.

I dropped my membership after “opposing bike theft is racist” but in case you need another reason here it is. I’ve never encountered road rage from a driverless car.

SF Bicycle Coalition@sfbike

Last weeks CPUC vote to expand AV permits on our streets has major implications– more cars on our roads, equity concerns, and continued safety issues. Read more and stay updated about what happens next: sfbike.org/news/the-sf-bi…

One thing we can all learn from this - if you hate your landlord, put an enormous strobing logo sign on the roof, and they, not you, will owe the city a fine. (Except you, my landlord, if you’re reading this, you’re awesome…)

San Francisco Chronicle@sfchronicle

The glowing sign atop the social media company’s 1355 Market St. headquarters was installed last Friday and removed on Monday after an outcry from nearby residents and a notice of violation from the city. trib.al/dI88TAm

I rode in a Cruise AV last night and it complied with several traffic laws a human SF taxi driver would’ve ignored. We need to update the laws to reflect how humans actually drive (u-turns across a double-yellow and double parking should be allowed when safe)

Lee Edwards@terronk

Listened to @jeffreytumlin’s interview to figure out which statement they had to retract for being misleading, and there were so many, I couldn’t tell. Let’s start: “you’ve got cyclists dealing with a bike lane that’s blocked.” Here’s how Waymo actually deals with bike lanes.

Camera enforcement could help. I once had a driver accidentally drive into a similar bike lane in South London and it ruined his entire day because he was sure he'd be getting a £160 ticket in the mail for a maneuver that saved 2 mins. No cops & instantly regretted the mistake.

Reggie Aqui@reggieaqui

If you are driving and a garbage truck is ahead of you on its pick up route, you are now stuck. Your option? Yup, the bike lane. A mess.

Making GIL-less Python an "n" ABI tag instead of a major 4.0 release seems like an attempt to avoid the marketing cost of a breaking change without avoiding the engineering cost. Existing C extensions would need to be recompiled and audited just like 2to3 #backwards-compatibility" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">peps.python.org/pep-0703/#back…

Tourism spending in San Francisco is set to hit 2019 levels next year. People coming here are finding a beautiful city ready to welcome them. A recent survey by SF Travel found 92% of visitors would come back to San Francisco. We know our challenges, but visitors love this city.

In the UK you settle your bar bill after each round and leave a 0% gratuity, but in the US you settle it after the last round and leave a 0-20% one. This is to compensate the bartender for the risk of serving you alcohol without a credit check

@pt (Speaking from my own experience). Being prepared also matters for non-STEM degrees too but the feedback is perhaps not as brutal nor as quick

English

Kevin Sweeney@kts·14 Tem

@pt So if a UCB STEM prof says a high school course won’t prepare you for the subject they teach, they’re telling you the easy way. Much better to learn that way than when you fail their course a year into your undergrad and have to change your plans

English

parker@pt·13 Tem

Years ago our school added an A to STEM, I guess because STEM was important but too hard to teach? I’d love for my kids to go to Berkeley (go Bears!) and think that’s much more likely now that they’re outside the CA public education system. Sad!

Helaine Olen@helaineolen

Do I have this right? California is adopting new math standards even though the UC system opposes a component of it and is signaling it won’t accept the permitted substitution of data science for advanced algebra when evaluating kids for admissions? Huh? latimes.com/california/sto…
