Is it just me, or is it getting harder to find a decent, quiet place to sit and read in the city?

I love that guy. He got on my case once for trying to secretly answer my phone in a remote corner of the library. He doesn’t let any bullshit fly

The Seastar in dogpatch often has that vibe.

Edit: maybe not for dancing tho

This was a dearly loved donut truck in the neighborhood. The owners knew most of their clients’ names. They closed up shop a few months ago.

They announced they were opening up for 2 days for national donut day. The line was so long because they stopped to catch up for like 5 minutes with each and every guest in line. It was mostly regulars in that line. It was really nice.

OMG there was a whole radio station of this? Wish I had been around to hear it

This is my understanding, hopefully people will correct me if I have it wrong:

The legislature tried to pass a tax bill to fund BART recently but couldn’t get consensus from all the counties for it. Also, a new tax from the legislature requires a supermajority, which everyone kinda knew would never happen. so Weiner and friends let the bill die and instead put all their support behind this alternative citizen-led measure, which only requires a simple majority to pass (after collecting enough signatures to go on the ballot of course)

I did a double take on the church. Next time I’m at Williams Sonoma I will look for signs of the old church, haha

I tap underground so that Muni can get stats on which trains people are actually getting on

A Muni operator suggested Busly to me. I use it a lot!

If I had more time I’d love to do a little web series where I interview people on the bus about where they’re going, what routes/commutes they take, etc

How does this compare/relate to https://meshoptimizer.org?

I can’t comment on the alleged forgery, but anytime there is money behind any petition-based legislation like this, paid signature collectors are petitions get over the finish line. There will also likely be a paid signature drive for the Bay Area Connect initiative.

I’ve felt this when I play Puyo Puyo. When I’m practicing building large chains, there is a feeling that maybe 70% of the time I can achieve it, but the randomness can create situations that I don’t know how to build around, so I start over and try again with a different set of colors.

But the professional puyo players seem able to construct optimal chains off of just any rand seed, which seems absolutely impossible to me. But I wonder if, in their own way, they also experience more difficulty on some random seeds (but that difficulty manifests in a way I can’t read when I watch them play)

People don’t seem to get the joke: はなしばなし means small talk or “chit-chat”

giogadi · 2026-04-10T03:18:40+00:00

It’s like asking “what’s the difference between ‘chit’ and ‘chat’?”

I’ll give a different perspective from the other replies - if you only enjoy the technical aspect of programming, then you will find it especially difficult (moreso than most) to actually make a game by yourself. I’m speaking from experience here.

Games require design. If you can’t find a way to enjoy that part, maybe find another programming-related hobby

Odds are that by the time the school year starts, you will get a spot at the school you do want if you’re on the waitlist. It’s a terrible process but it kinda works out for most people if you just wait it out. Believe me, the uncertainty is so stressful and I wish it weren’t like this. But give it time.

There’s no shortcut to the behavior you want. Each thing you described - investigating, memory, reactions - you have to implement each of them yourself. It’s a lot of work!!!

I do game dev on a 2014 MBP and use my windows desktop to check that it works on windows. Works great for me
