There are Kinky subway cars in Boston as well. Probably too old to to be listed on their page now. I wish we could have these modern, nice looking ones.

I'd checkout Racket: https://racket-lang.org/ It's got a nice UI for starting out and getting good error reporting. It's also well documented.

So does having to drive to work, sit in traffic, pay for and maintain the car (or more likely in the US, cars.) I live in a city, share walls, and am less than a 10 minute walk from my office. My coworkers come in early and leave work late

I had no idea Narragansett was now considered a craft brewer. I’m used to the old ‘gansett from my youth that was cheap but a bit too sweet in the wrong way (probably due to the corn they use.) I drink it once and a while just for the nosta

I live downtown (Leather District) and work downtown (Post Office Sq.) I think there's really quite a bit of stuff to do. Not NYC stuff to do level, sure, but definitely not a wasteland after dark either. I do agree, there are some bea

macOS is a better comparison to Windows than iOS is, since iOS is just for iPhones and not desktops. macOS will show you the stack trace of a crashed app in a dialog. This allows more technical people a chance look into the reason for the

I don't like the $99 fee either, but to be fair, Apple will tell you that they can't tell if the app is dangerous. Not that it is dangerous. Specifically, they will tell you that the app Cannot Be Opened Because the Developer C

I tried Verizon 5G for several months. It could be very fast (600Mbps down, maybe 100Mbps up) but it wasn't very reliable. We had some days where it just didn't work (maybe two days out of six months.) It's $50/mo (IIRC)

In the past I'd only ever used an iInk reader at the beach. I just didn't care for their small screens, but lightness and water and sand resistance made sense in that environment. Recently I decided to try a Kindle Scribe and I&#x

The 8G on my wife's last Intel MacPro was definitely not enough for her light browsing and email reading, it just ground to a halt swapping browser memory. Admittedly she visited web sites with a lot of crap on them, but still.

Good point! With a monitor you can easily glance away and focus on objects in the distance to exercise your eye muscles, something my eye doctor always has recommended. Probably not so easily done with these, which means it won't happe

This past weekend I took a 2018 Mac Mini w/i7, 32G RAM and 1T SSD the the Apple Store to trade it in for a new MacBook Air my wife wanted. Before the Apple person looked up the trade in value she told me, "I can tell you right now

Agree, I'd prefer that as well. If not that, at least make it possible to pay with your phone or smartwatch like NYC has done. That really seems to have done a lot to reduce the time to board there.

Just started reading, "Quit: The Power of Knowing When to Walk Away" by her so can't confidently recommend it, but so far I'm really enjoying it. Again, poker experience, knowing when to fold, is relevant.

I haven’t used teams that much, but one annoyance I found immediately is that it uses the lowest resolution of my webcam and doesn’t offer a way to change it to other resolutions. Slack and FaceTime both work fine with the same camera, but
