Weather

So the SF pasttime isn't baseball or anything like that, it's laughing at tourists who wear shorts. All the visions of warm, beachy California are lies spread by the Los Angeles tv industry. SF can be cold and windy even in summer (actually especially in summer, the land warms up and causes the fog to roll in) and the fog is beautiful but it's FRICKIN COLD. I always bring a jacket to SF no matter what time of year it is. It can be 30 deg C maybe 20 miles away and 10 degrees C in SF. No joke.

Food

SF has awesome food, with a lot of Asian and Mexican influence. Here's a great list from all price ranges: http://www.sfgate.com/food/top100/2014/

Pay particular attention to Mexican/Central and South American food, since I know the UK has great Asian food but not Mexican. The burrito is a Californian staple. Try the al pastor and the carnitas.

Guidelines for Singular They in Technical English

by 0xabad1dea, December 2014

This document is an RFC of sorts for increasing the adoption rate of Singular They in technical English. This is not an ultimatum; this is not shaming anyone who has done otherwise; and this is definitely not applicable to any other language.

What is Singular They?

Auto-enable Local HTTP Caching in Test Kitchen

Note: total experiment and hack, looks nasty, could be awesome:

Setup

• Drop the kitchen.local.yml into $HOME/.kitchen/config.yml
• Install polipo (with Mac: brew install polipo, with Ubuntu: apt-get install polipo)
• Drop polipo-start and polipo-console somewhere useful (perhaps $HOME/bin?)

This is how I debug SystemStackError when there is no stack trace.

My first attempt was:

begin
  a_method_that_causes_infinite_recursion_in_a_not_obvious_way
rescue SystemStackError
  puts caller
end
