Great guide, but Chicago's best sandwich, the jibarito ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jibarito ) was overlooked.

Oh, man. I totally forgot about "Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark". Yeah, those freaked me out. Granted, the drawings in those books were pretty gruesome, but the stories themselves were pretty scary. Totally forgot about that.

Your logic makes sense, but there's something special about visual imagery - the way the images go directly into our brains without being filtered through our imaginations - that gives it true power. When I was a kid, I read a lot of h

Brewer! Makes more sense than brewmaster. I assume that dealing with common aliases is on the todo-list. Just the ones for "police officer" could be pages long, and region-dependent.

Erik is one of the original signatories of that manifesto.

I searched for police officer and brewmaster. Got no results, but it did suggest a "brand editor".

Nope. Even entitled snots don't deserve to be killed when it can be avoided. Not going to debate that point. Passing on the right by cyclists is legal in Chicago, BTW, when done so with care (the law was clarified last year). It's

Haha, I knew as soon as I saw that you think respecting people's lives is treating them as "sacred cows" that you must be a Chicago driver.

Right. I rarely drive and actually try to obey the law when I do so, but where I live (Chicago), obeying the law is a recipe for angering other drivers. Things like obeying the speed limit or stopping for pedestrians in crosswalks delay oth

Not so strange once you find out the some charter schools can effectively choose their populations via disciplinary measures. http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/education/success-academ...

If you think the current licensed taxi fare structure is fare, then you must have spent your entire life in wealthy neighborhoods, or you would know how difficult it is to get any taxi outside of those neighborhoods. The wealthy have alread

That's amazing. I've got the same combination on my luggage!

I think that's why the article mentions "bike-lane legal". It sounds like it's trying to be a bike with a big cage attached and an electric assist. Personally, without the maneuverability of a bicycle, I can't imagi

One of the many reasons I value Ebert is that when I read his reviews, I can tell if a movie will be worth my time, regardless of his assessment of the film. I love some films he hated and I hate some films he loved, but I've never felt lik

When they heavily subsidize bicycles or living close to your workplace, I'll less of a problem with subsidizing more of the vehicles that pollute my environment and threaten my life.

Don't forget this one: http://www.economist.com/blogs/dailychart/2011/08/americas-f... Honestly, all these (with the exception of Alaska) come down to population density. In the US, it's not North versus South, it's urban versus rural, as

Yes, I practice part-time pair programming, as do a lot of programmers I know. Frankly, I think it's good to pair full-time while you (you, personally or your team) are learning it, but not beyond that. The OP tried pairing for a month - no

Nope. Being against scientific studies because what they uncover may lead to measures you dislike is not anti-scientism. It's anti-science. Science, done correctly, inconveniently disregards your values and preferences, so it's perfectly ra

I don't think "pro-science" means what you think it means.

Yes, more behavioral, less algorithmic. At least, fewer general algorithmic questions, though maybe expect some that are specific to the employer or your experience. Regarding the managing thing - not necessarily, though most programmers wi

If 90% of the population was riding bicycles, several of my friends would still be alive. Also, poor kids would do better in school due to lower asthma rates. Also, our municipalities would be far more solvent. The real puzzle is why there

As a cyclist, pedestrian, and occasional driver, it's mildly annoying how ignorant the typical driver such as yourself is about such things. Most of the roads on which you encounter cyclists are funded by taxes other than gasoline taxes. I

Nope. When you're a new college grad, it's assumed that you know jack but are hopefully smart enough that you can learn it. Even if you've had some internships, it's understood that someone else was calling the shots, and you're just doing

If its a block's worth of traffic, it's because the rush hour drivers are driving vehicles that are unnecessarily large for getting individuals to and from work. If such drivers were in appropriately-sized vehicles, like bicycles, there wou

Out of curiosity, what state are you in where motorized vehicles get exclusive access to the lane?
