Another thing is we don't have much practice as parents over our life time. A quick google says US has 1.87 children per family. So we end up having ~2 kicks at the can, raising our children the best we can, with the results only comin

I often code with my laptop while I ride an exercise bike. Can't use a mouse there. Trackpad is terrible when hands are sweaty. Move too much for home row, so I two-finger type. Vim is great for this.

These books are more for casual reading, except for Book 3. If I may, do you have more recommendations similar to Book 3? In addition to my personal interest, my read of the OP request was he looking for more technical details. For myself,

Flat roofs are also architectural wankery here in Canada, but they are more and more popular these days. My friend built a contemporary and modern house with the flat roof. Thought they were having troubles with leaks, but then learnt it wa

I wish they would refresh the product line soon. I need to replace a laptop, but I refuse to pay the Apple premium for old products. If you look at Macrumor's buyers guide, it's all over due except for the Macbook. ( http:/&

Yeah, I couldn't help but think about my nephew and nieces. No urge to get their driver's license, can't find things in the grocery store, not sure how much cash change they were supposed to get back...basic stuff. The video

Yeah, the incentives on wall street hugely promote risks. You'll get paid a huge bonus if your bet pays off. And then downsides are limited to just losing your job, in which case you just go get a new one.

I've gambled a lot with poker and sports betting (where you're against other people), but always felt like a dumb ass when I played those casino games (blackjack, craps). Such a strong negative feedback loop to me. I never under

No, it never happened. I was always taller and fatter than my classmates. Fortunately no one bullied me. I just remember my dad telling me this is what I have to do. My mom confirmed that my dad fought a lot when he was in school and milita

Maybe the app would tell you who is doing the inviting. You'd know from the person if it was sincere or not.

It's unfortunate that a common first project idea is "hey, I should build a website", which is HTML and CCS - and isn't programming at all. Then when they go beyond that they'll hit the crazy fragmentation of web de

I started at zero and Hartl's tutorial was my first try. I got stuck too. Ruby &/or Rails has too much magic and doesn't teach you how things work. I switched to Python and Django. Python has tons of beginner learning ma

Typical valuation methods are: multiples, replacement value, comparable transactions. 1) Multiples: a comment from Flippa says websites go for 2-4x annual net profit, which is similar to a Mom&Pop operation. So if your side project made
