I’d only consider Flow with an erasableSyntaxOnly equivalent and native support in Node.js + oxc

[Flow @flowtype]

If your "Flow vs TypeScript" take is from 2021, it's out of date. Flow looks like TypeScript now - but it has pattern matching and React component syntax, while catching runtime crashes TypeScript waves through. Examples below. 👇

A friend of mine who works in rare books mentioned today everyone he knows is getting weird, big orders from the same buyer this week for "long tail books"—decades-old textbooks, private press niche history, unremarkable but rare titles just collecting dust.

Obviously AI, right?

This seems like “commoditize your complements” since pivoting from UI to headless git server

@pitdesi This has to have been partly inspired by his FTX Super Bowl ad

[Contextfree @ctx_free]

Absolutely not, instead upzone the shitty SFH stock of the sunset into row housing.

Reverse views … lots of land to build on

@rough__sea So instead you prefer breathing engine bleed? Air quality is so much better on 787

@sdamico Muni trains tend to be more pleasant than buses and anecdotally also have greater fare enforcement through inspectors and gates at stations. Maybe not a coincidence!

[Sam D'Amico @sdamico]

Muni should aggressively enforce bus fares.

The bus will instantly become nice.

@pitdesi @lhfang No rice is ideal but imo La Taqueria fell off since 2010s. Haven’t found a true substitute but for carne asada I like Taqueria San Bruno

lol i cannot fathom living in sf and thinking deli board is a sleeper pick for sandwiches

[britton winterrose @Winterrose]

I’m mad at my SF friends rn
the barstool team is CRUSHING the discovery of good food spots that NO ONE has ever recommended to me.

on the other hand I’m stoked to explore these spots with the homies when I’m back in town

comment “hell yeah” if you’re a founder and want to go on food adventures in SF w/ me

[Contextfree @ctx_free]

@luusssso Agreed. Single staircase fire codes fix this. Architecture is dictated by legal constraints that make attractive multifamily dwellings impossible to build.

Too cheap to meter, too fast to cache

Grocery stories are the truly the last bastion of enjoyable retail experiences. Otherwise, I’m shopping online if I can. Better selection and pricing

[Contextfree @ctx_free]

Call me old fashioned but I love walking the aisles of a grocery store. The routine is comforting, there’s no salespeople, and there’s something about the sheer abundance and variety of products that is just awesome to behold

[Canon Reeves @ReevesCanon]

We've built a first of its kind grocery store in Austin.

Dinosaur bank required “wet” signature for doc upload but too lazy and principled to print. Naturally, I used iOS document scanner of fullscreen preview for convincing artifacts and voilà!

@levelsio Luxury absolutely still exists but unlike other parts of the world, simply being expensive doesn’t guarantee luxury. Has there been a decline? Of course, but skill issue is also at play
