They've generally dropped said love in the newer framework versions. Also - don't judge MS' love of XML too much, without it, we wouldn't have gotten XMLHttpRequest. :)

Cycling's a big part of my life. I've been involved in advocacy groups, racing organizations, commuted most of my life, etc. I'm also a fairly smart guy. I recognize the difference between being out training fast/raci

I wouldn't say so. I have lived mostly north, and sometimes west, and found it to be generally the same. Pick your neighborhood based on other factors.. closeness to the CTA trains, quality of food options, and general cleanliness. I

"Also, not to attack the GP, but there is a Chicago cyclist personality I see frequently. They do dick moves with their bikes, cause accidents, never obey any traffic law, scream at pedestrians, and constantly pretend to be innocent an

Honestly, if I have to deal with corruption, and all the other stuff, I'll at least have nice weather with it at this point. Central coast California, Boulder, CO, etc.

Let's see.. in the 20 odd years here in Chicago, the sum of my police interactions are: Hit by a white shirt (supervisor) who came out of an alley on clark st while in a bike lane - somehow my fault, detained. Hit on foot, by a car wit

Just curious, as I'm not a physicist, what's the definition of "near room temperature"? Because 203 k = -97F/-70C.

The other thing to remember, in the U.S., is that parents are constantly in a one-up war with each other. The two sides of that spectrum are "my kid's got the best lunch for him ever" and "my kid's got the most awe

The replies to this post are all quite analytical and focused on the value proposition gift wrapping gives you. I know it's more expensive to do it myself, but it's one of the few things I'm truly terrible at, and my family&#

Think back to Uber's beginning. It was incredibly elitist - only black cars, twice what a taxi cost, etc. Even the name reflects that. They're almost at parity now though, at the normal person level in Chicago at least. I get n

I agree with what you've said here about taste. However, I would add that the use of extra virgin olive oil is so heavy handed with TV/marketing that people don't realize just how much specific flavor it has - and that it&#x

So if I show up with a kidney to sell in a cooler, all good? Does it matter where I got it? Ok, how about we say, you have to sell it yourself, at a licensed organ selling place. Then we regulate that you've got to be licensed to sp

Comparing a war general to a con artist? Not only that, Tojo was tried before an international panel, not just the US, and largely used as a figurehead to take blame and avoid execution of the royal family. BIG difference between world wa

In ten years, we'll be seeing the same articles about the sprawling hi-rises in downtown areas, as more industry realizes how much cheaper remote work can be. There are certainly jobs that won't work remotely, but there's not

You've just nearly described my exact working environment. Only, on one side I have a highway. I have a friend who works across the road from me. If we met up for lunch on foot one of us is taking a 30 minute walk because it's

There are quite a few doctors out there who do nothing but write rx's for stimulants, all day long, and make a killing doing it. A semi-annual blood pressure check and once over to make sure the person doesn't look strung out see

Every time I read an article, and 20 seconds into it, mid-paragraph a modal window tries to get me to register it evokes such an rage I just stop what I am reading and click back. This UI pattern is one of the worst I've ever seen.

This is the place the Olympics are going to be this summer. I can't help but hope the people use it as a stage to protest, but would imagine the media would largely ignore it.

It's also pretty much the best of the worst, when it comes to something big enough to deal with > 50 employees and software development. Trello is cute, but fails after about 10 contributors, and locks you into it's rather sim

This is basically a puff piece. Evanston has a cute little downtown area that's great for walking, but like most suburbs, lots of streets don't have sidewalks, the main route north through it (ridge) is banned to bicycles, forcin

Odd. Chicagoan here too.. I find staff at Walgreens to be some of the most miserable employees I run into in the retail sector, whereas CVS employees generally try to be helpful and seem to not hate their life. I think once you cross the w

As a former smoker, current nicotine gum addict, I'm surprised CVS hasn't advertised its massive price difference on it and nicotine patches in addition to their not selling tobacco. I can buy (generic CVS branded) nicotine gum f

I had to look up "abstruse". I understood it's meaning from context, but wasn't sure if it was a portmanteau of abstract and obtuse, or an actual word. I've honestly never heard it in my life, and wouldn't st

Sorry, all the nitpicking about small points in an article don't mean nearly as much to me as the dozen or so people I've known who's been miserable working there for low pay, and told me so personally. Embrace the culture y
