Since I was a child it's been my dream to travel, slowly and low, in one of these over the tree tops in New England during leaf season, or through Fjords, or across beautiful countryside in France or Italy or wherever. I don't wan

I rarely have fewer than double that number of tabs open in Firefox and never have crashes. Maybe it’s crashed on me in the past, but if so I don’t remember it happening.

Yes! Every spring we open up our summer place and I have some Nespresso pods left over from the previous year. I always expect it to be terrible but find I can't tell the difference to fresh. Still, regardless of age it's just not

I love my city but I can see how this would be true for non-Bostonians. If Boston is your home you do just know, in the sense that you know other drivers may not know or care so you are on the lookout for them. You just curse those driver

I failed completely because in my selection (US: Boston/Cambridge) there are multiple streets with the same name like Broadway and First Street, and I always picked the wrong one.

This made me laugh, and might even be true. There were a number of years where we had the highest number of of traffic accidents in the country and yet the lowest related fatalities. That was because traffic was moving so slowly that most a

Everyone’s different, I guess. For me, I’m often struck by how lovely things look on my 27” 4K monitor. I have several older 1440 monitors that I no longer use because they look so grainy and unpleasant now. (Edit: I’m using macOS, might be

I still have one of those too. I do love the keyboard on that, it feels very luxurious to me, but I have to admit I can't type as fast as I can on my 2019 MBP work or 2021 M1 personal MacBook Pros. I'm definitely in the minority i

Not if you need to implement some setter logic though, or want to reserve the option to do so in the future. And not if you want those instance variables to be available as JavaBean properties. I haven't developed in Java in a long tim

The one thing Alexa is really useful for is setting timers while cooking. Hands free, nameable timers make it worthwhile for me.

I hadn't read that, but it reminds me of her first book (I think) "The Guns of August" which describes the first few months of WWI, and which I enjoyed very much.

I remember reading something similar for the pins in an MG (or Triumph? not sure anymore) manual transmission. In this case the suggestion was to use peanut butter to hold the pins in.

I agree that they felt great to type on but at least for me typing speed was much slower. Going back to my 2010 (I think) MBP now, typing still feels great but it also feels like typing in molasses.

I love my 2019’s keyboard. That’s the year they added the extra membrane to prevent dust getting in. It’s been flawless for me for the last two years.

I know I'm in the minority regarding the keyboard, but on my 2019 model it's been flawless and I really have come to like it quite a bit, more than the one on my 2014 even (except for the vertical arrow keys that is. Seems like no

I'm a very happy Starry customer. It's been great having fast, symmetric speeds (200Mbs) and a reasonable monthly fee ($50) that doesn't constantly increase without notice. Hope this doesn't change them.
