I'm curious, how old is she now? I met a 3 year old recently (through my kids Montessori) who is reading chapter books and I was honestly blown away by it.

I'm dealing with a situation right now that is, IMO, simply unsustainable, in terms of number of living things vs. square footage of living space. I've got 7 humans and 3 animals living in 3 bedrooms / 1,634 square feet. 3 of

I can attest to this. I live on a major fault line. I got serious about natural disaster preparedness back in 2017 with Hurricane Harvey and seeing how the federal response was so bungled. It puts my mind at significant ease knowing that I

I'm no longer a religious person but I was raised a Presbyterian Christian. It was very common to hear the adults around me recite the Serenity Prayer when I was younger. I think there is a lot of wisdom there. I don't know if tha

I'd say that the .NET teams that I work with (probably 60-70 FTEs) are 80% Windows, 15% Mac, 5% Linux. A handful of the Windows folks are using WSL1/2. But we target Linux for everything but our oldest ( we've got a couple of

I agree with what you're saying completely and have said so on HN in the past. It's my opinion that Rust won't break through the embedded world until the toolchains are there and I don't see an incentive for the vendors

At the rate things are going, in a few more years I wouldn't even be able to afford the home that we got into in 2016. It's already "appreciated" by 60% with no signs of slowing down. Every home that sells in our neighbo
