New guy here in MNPLS, looking for a good hardcore electronic or trance music spot

E175-FSM · 1 day

Two places I frequented were Triple-Double Tuesday at the Triple Rock, and Too Much Love at First Ave. I'm not sure what they're like in the last year or so (moved to SF), but they were good places to meet some people who were into that.

Another one that I went to while I was at home in Nov. that was quite cool was Menergy at The Kitty Cat Klub. I think there's one that happens at The Varsity too, but I don't know details.

I think the key is meeting people who know where stuff is going on, and there is no lack of it once you find it. Good luck and enjoy the fine city!

I don't think the title implies that, and that wasn't my intention. He is self-described as homeless, on his own website, so I don't think it was misleading.

how so? from the article:

According to his website, Choe has since been homeless, "wandering the earth, making good art and bad music."

You guys are making me homesick!

I had it just about every semester in my time there. Sci/Eng is not easy, this is why we all get well paying jobs :). I felt the same though, but you can do it if you work hard! Enjoy.

I am in the 'thinks it's silly' boat; I just moved to Cali from Minnesota and had never seen one before, except in a movie where a guy put it on his head like a cowboy hat.

Is outside membership not an option because of money? Some gyms (as opposed to fitness clubs)may cost less than you think, for example Gold's Gym is $15/mo. They are cheaper because they don't have pools and saunas and the like, just workout equipment and showers. I know it doesn't exactly answer your question, but I am telling you because not knowing this made joining not an option for me for a long time because of costs. Good luck.

How depressing. I live/work in MV and found this thread while looking for places in the city. I've been in MV for about 8 months, since I moved out here, and it is very isolating--though the 6 minute commute is nice. There is a good crowd of redditors on the peninsula, but being in the city is very attractive. Also, a car is basically required for any mobility on the peninsula (you don't mention it, but throwing it out there).

it's going to suck even more to be an attractive woman on a flight...

it can't do more, but it makes it a whole lot more convenient.

one nice thing is that new boxes are ready-to-run, no installation of the guest OS or manual configuration, since most parameters can be configured in the Vagrantfile. another thing is that it will run the provisioning script (puppet, chef, shell, custom) each time the box comes up, or explicitly via 'vagrant provision'. yet another that I've yet to use, is the ability to manage multiple boxes via one vagrant file.

maybe it's because I am old and dried up at 27, but "lots of sex" put the article off to a bad start for me. not because I don't love sex, I do, but I find myself wanting to do so many other things that it's hard to motivate for sex. it's such a massive time commitment, and I'm always anxious to be doing something else. the rest of it was accurate though.

Another aspect of Centen: the exchange students (as opposed to int'l students) loved to have fun and experience new things. I lived there for two years and had the best time, probably the most fun/interesting time of my life--it was like reverse traveling. I had a car and am a SE mpls native, which helped a lot. I know they live elsewhere too, but there were a ton of them in Centen.

big ups for gandi. I used them for all my domains in the past, before I got sucked into godaddy. maybe it's time to look into going back.

I don't think I'd use it, but I don't think it's inconsistent with zazen practice--at all the temples I've been to, they say to sit however you feel comfortable. Sitting in a chair in front of a glowing rectangle wouldn't be comfortable for my practice, but maybe it's a start for members of the younger generation who don't know much else.

Also, I'm kind of surprised that 8 minutes is the max. I've never done less than 15, and can't see less than that being useful.

I'm new to the bay area and just got another stupid charge from WF. Bank Transfer Day is coming up on the 5th. Here are a few threads from the past couple months: http://www.reddit.com/r/bayarea/search?q=credit+union&restrict_sr=on

I am leaning toward Patelco because people say they have good online banking and they also have TONS of locations, even some back home in Minneapolis.

Not always to the completion

Isn't that the truth... I think I abandon things as soon as the particular curiosity I had about it has been satisfied. There are always 5 more things on my plate that take over once that happens. Sometimes I wonder if I have ADHD, but it's never been a problem so I've never sought diagnosis ;)

Currently I'm learning Mandarin Chinese

Good challenge, I want to do this and have tried and failed to launch--typical complaint of not being able to distinguish tones. What resources are you using?

For the past couple months I've been learning software business/marking/management-like skills. I'm a developer who just moved to Silicon Valley and wants to be more of a leader. I am studying Peopleware: Productive Projects and Teams and Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion. I've finished Managing Software Debt and have The 48 Laws of Power and Quality is Free in the queue.

So-far the stuff is giving me some good insight, with Influence being the most directly applicable. In addition to describing persuasion techniques via anecdotes and a little "evolutionary" theory, each chapter has a "How to say no" section which is invaluable.

I live in Cali and my mechanic chewed me out for waiting until my 2011 Civic's oil life indicator went to 10%, at around 5500 miles. He said the oil was ridiculously "burnt", and told me that the manufacturer has an interest in killing the engine. I trust neither entity, since they each benefit from their side of the argument.

So what is this "burnt" oil, and where is this website they link getting their numbers? It tells me to wait 7500 miles on my car, how do I know when I should actually change my oil without killing the life of my engine?

just so you know, sites with oauth don't need your login credentials but rather get a time and activity limited token that gives them access to your data. they bring you to the 3rd party service and ask for permission X and then are issued a token that can only do thing X and expires after something like 1-2 hours, and do automatically if you log out of said site.

I'm not trying to persuade you to trust that, merely informing you how it actually works.

The season takes place over only a few weeks: this thread. I think it's pretty plausible that he'd not call/see Astor and Cody in such a short window.

The era of global modules is dead.

No it isn't. This article describes an unfortunate reality of npm modules and declares it a new ideal.

The article does not support that conclusion what-so-ever. It is very easy for a system to support locked versions of transitive dependencies. In order to address this problem I think it will take some cooperation and discipline on the part of module authors (yes, there are a lot), but it's counter-productive to declare a well-known anti-pattern the new way things ought to be. Dare I say, look at the success of Maven Central and the concept of snapshot/release versions for inspiration? By all means, do what the article suggests for now but I would no means strive to follow it in an ideal world or call global modules dead.

edit: typo (so->do)
