thekevjames | 2 years ago | on: What crime stats don't reveal about crime in San Francisco

FWIW in 8 years of living in SF, I've reported three theft-related crimes. The two below $300 never got any response (from my perspective!) and the one above $300 (eventually) resulted in the return of the relevant property. Mo idea how exact or how essential the dollar value is... But it seemed to matter?

FWIW that experience is exactly the same as my team has... But we're on Elastico hosting. Constant black box breakages that can't be debugged, nodes getting restarted for opaque reasons... We've been considering switching to Amazon's hosting to avoid these.

Sounds like it might be a "grass is always greener" scenario. ...maybe I'll spend more time looking into self-hosting...

Most people aren't software engineers, either.

I had fun exploring Docker->VM conversion a while back [1], though the larger goal in my case was to be able to make the build path to custom GCP VM Images a bit simpler. Exciting to see other cases where folks are finding this sort of flow useful!

"Mobile settings" [ ] Opt out of mobile pages This will cause all your sessions and devices to only experience the desktop site for all pages. Pages designed to be responsive will still scale down properly.

I saw there's now an option in Github user settings which allows you to mark your entire account as always serving desktop pages when you're on mobile.

Ironically, can't dig up the link on mobile since I've not yet clicked that button.

This is specifically a Feedly issue; see https://feedly.uservoice.com/forums/192636-suggestions/sugge... . As far as I've seen, Feedly doesn't really respond to bug reports like this.

Among other reasons, this is why I've moved away from Feedly to Inoreader (http://www.inoreader.com/),
