Bikes generally fail pretty miserably at trucking children around. You're pretty much stuck going right to one of the giant dutch cargo bikes to carry kids and all their paraphernalia, and once you drop off your kid now you're rid

I'm fairly certain the ones I had were the "Grail Quest" books by J.H. Brennan.

I just went and looked at the Fighting Fantasy books and I don't think I actually had any of those. There must have been another series that was copying them. Try as I might I can't find them.

Yah these were huge as a kid in the 1980s. There were also these combination choose your own adventure/RPG books. It was an RPG where you rolled dice and fought monsters but the book acted as the DM so you could play by yourself. Livi

For sure.. it is not a great hardship to have restrictions on these systems here. These systems are most prevalent on expensive European brands that have terrible reliability ratings. Totally obvious when you see which cars are blinding you

I think Eclipse is probably still slower on modern hardware than Visual J++ was in 1999-2000, which was the last time I used it. The first commercial Java project I worked on we used Visual J++. It was a great environment at the time, the

I think this kind of article is helpful. The thing I notice most is a lot of people buy cars (and replace them frequently) that are way above their "level" and represent hugely irresponsible decisions. E.x. you should be way into

There are pretty clear differences in what a BS in Computer Science represents from different schools. 1st Tier schools a Bachelor's degree holder has most of the fundamentals of mathematics within computer science. Complexity of algo

Yes I was referring to Kendall Sq. day cares when thinking of $36-40k/yr. I worked there when my child was born.

On top of that the MA regulations are different in other ways. Any day care center in MA that is $16k+ you will find that 90%+ of the staff have at least a Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education. Probably not the case in a p

I live in Massachusetts.. mentioned in the article as averaging $16k. I have a child who stopped going to private day care a year and a half ago. For us it was more like $20-24k/yr for child care. There were centers near one of my w

I find it hilarious the author claims the car was superbly prepared and then talks about them having engine issues at altitude. Almost guaranteed this thing had a hacked up EFI modification done by some tuner... those guys never really know

This has got to be the most narrowly targeted game ever. I played through all of HL/HL2/Ep1/Ep2 IIRC, but I can barely even remember the story clearly it was so long ago. And it's such a blur maybe I never finished Ep2.

It's only a 32 degree angle. You could certainly walk up it fine. Citation needed for sure and the authorities must have never encouraged it and I'm not sure why it'd be super fun to slide down but given the popularity of hik

64GB RAM is like "hallelujah". Doing enterprise dev with Docker + Java is pretty horrible with 16GB on my 2017 MBP. The fact that this review didn't even once mention the fact that this machine is now thicker & bigger a

Just as a follow on... At one point I had to read a management book about this problem, it was probably published in the 1990s, it was Pre-Agile Manifesto for sure. It had recommendations like: - Meetings should be first thing in the mornin

I feel like we're only having this discussion at this point because: - Agile brought interruptions to a new level of pain - We have too many instant interruption communication points (slack) - Open Offices have made interrution far wor

There's a flipside in another sport. In Men's Lacrosse at the college level they wear helmets... in Women's Lacrosse helmets are not allowed, they wear ridiculous eye-cages instead. Their argument is that they have less conta

I mentioned it in my post.. a lot of financial people recommended taking loans to buy stock options. Also in some cases especially with public companies they gifted you the options as income. That got marked as income even if the stock th

On top of having to fail password/2FA security basics for your kid to be subjected to this you have to: - Have both parents decide the child is not a high enough priority for one of them to stay home - Decide it's too much hassle

I'm sure this is legit but I wonder how they controlled for people who just go for a walk and/or get exercise every day even if they don't have a dog? But no disagreement, if you're a couch potato who is not otherwise mo

I would be real curious how this passive radar design helps in an actual war environment. Even if you discount all the possible issues like the F-35s not being in "stealth operational mode", having reflectors, etc.. this is not a

Throwing 75lbs of clothes away in a year blows me away at first glance. I hate shopping for clothes & buying them, I guess I naturally buy stuff built to last and I'm really conservative with fashion I guess. (Which is probably m

How is this a stupid interview question? There are a lot of positions this would be a great indicator of whether or not the candidate could do the job. If low level programming is involved the candidate better be able to handle this. Just
