I did 38 years of NYC mass transit commuting. From northern Bronx to lower Manhattan took 1.5 hours each way (1 bus, 1 train). From Flushing Queens to lower Manhattan, also 1.5 hours each way (1 bus, 2 trains).

I remember ashtrays in elevators. Imagine smoking in an elevator, and the person complaining about it was considered the idiot, not the smoker.

My first computer exposure was in high school (Bronx High School of Science) in the 70’s. They had an IBM 1620, looked like something out of a movie with lights and switches, and a typewriter-like console. We wrote little programs in Fortra

I’ve only had Heinz until the Covid shortages, and I was forced to try Sir Kensington’s ketchup, and I will never buy Heinz again. Sir Kensington’s was thicker and tasted more like tomatoes.

I worked on a team of about 20-25 devs. We used the Digitalk toolset, using Team/V for source control. You opened a repository/package browser instead of a class browser. There was versioning at all levels and good package managem

Use the debugger to step through, and you will see the implementation that is about to be executed? The debugger code itself could give clues on how to do it.

I did for a while code gen from UML, in IBM/Rational Software Architect. They would transform the model into an intermediate xml, which was fed to JSP’s for code gen. We also used Sparx Enterprise Architect to model a large amount of b

I was amazed that in the DAO hack everybody made money, even the victims! You ended up with coins on both chains, more value then you started with.

This is very sad to see at the Bronx High School of Science, a school I attended in the 70’s. Many of these kids will travel 1 1/2 hours each way to get there, hoping to get a world class educational opportunity.

“Settled” might also imply that it was already paid. I’d imagine it like a house sale closing, the papers get signed and a check gets passed all in the same transaction? No check, no “settle”.
