L’Ardoise is like a 10 minute walk away, tops.

It's not United Dumplings, it's Dumpling Union from 1809 Union Street. They have similar names and use a similar paint color, but they’re different. Here's the data from the city government: https://data.sfgov.org/Econ...

You can see that they have separate business names and Dumpling Union, not United Dumpling, has a record with the city tax collector at 598 Haight Street.

Re: Why We're Phasing Out Our App

Your RSS feeds carry the “This app will stop updating on April 17, 2018. Learn more.” warning which I assume is how you’re notifying app users.

You aren’t also killing your RSS feeds, are you?

So is all of San Francisco built on top of a tangled web of gas mains or just the western addition?

Re: Bike Shop At 'Mojo Bicycle Café' Closing, But Eatery To Remain

Phil Dokas — Tue, 27 Jun 2017 22:52:19 -0000

Gonna miss this bike shop, the first time I took my bike in for a tune up it came back better than new and I’ve been back many times since. Glad to see they’ll still be open for food and drinks, their popup hosting has been great too.

Nooooo! This means they’re closing down right? Any idea when?

Indeed, cites vandalism as the reason (though none was visible inside the day the sign went up – maybe inside machines?).

Incidentally, Wishy Washy is not on the interactive map in the article.

Gotta love how that lady kept a publicly financed copy of Atlas Shrugged and returned it for free after she kept it to herself for who knows how long.

Please stick to the actual news. I read Hoodline to find out what’s going on around me, not to find out if someone thought up a real good knee slapper.

We pay taxes. That pay for infrastructure.

Re: Imagining Life Without Sutro Tower: San Francisco's What-If Skyline

Phil Dokas — Sun, 24 Apr 2016 15:21:45 -0000

I think the “design rendering” link in the article might be wrong. Right now it points to http://ww2.kqed.org/news/au... which doesn’t seem to contain any Sutro Tower design renderings.

And p.s. in case you need some photos of Sutro Tower… https://flickr.com/photosof...

Re: Giant Agave Plant Puts On A Show Near Judah & 12th Avenue

Phil Dokas — Fri, 03 Jul 2015 00:35:56 -0000

These are amazing plants and it's a hell of a sight to see them in bloom. Huge mutant asparagus. I’m actually a native of Ann Arbor and visited that 80 year old agave before it died this past year. The botanical gardens had to remove a pane of glass from the ceiling to let the stalk keep growing.

The owner should collect the seeds from the pods! I bet someone from the Conservatory of Flowers or Botanical Gardens would love to help with the collection and propagating another generation.

Re: The Fretz Zone: My Big Beef with Hearthstone's Tiny Interface

Phil Dokas — Tue, 30 Jun 2015 11:41:38 -0000

It’s totally fair to take issue with the layout and size of things in Hearthstone, but the part of the argument reliant on the HIG makes a big mistake. The minimum touch target size isn't 44x44 *pixels*. It's measured in *points*. Points are a unit that changes based on the screen characteristics. 44 pixels on a 2x screen translates to 88x88 pixels. In fact, 44 points translates to the same physical dimensions across every iPhone ever released.

Oh Uber, this is what happens when you fight tooth and nail to not be regulated as a taxi company. You’re either a taxi company or you’re not. This isn’t an à la carte existence.

Beware with that io.js performance blog post. The y-axis scales don’t start at 0, visually exaggerating the differences pretty drastically.
