The metro areas are dense and tend to have decent public transport. The problem is in the smaller towns and rural areas. When I ride my bike around in the Willamette Valley I can go miles and miles without hitting even a small town. In Germ

As an German expat in the Pacific Northwest this fills me with longing. We have like one train here and it's slow and expensive..

The article says that they are losing so much money that it's not sustainable.

I enjoyed the brief time where VC money was directly shuttled into my pocket but I knew it wouldn't last. Taking public transport whenever possible.

I agree, getting to play with a new system is still as exciting as getting my first AppleSoft Basic program running back in the 80s. Also, with all the cool low-cost micros and robotics gear available now this is truly still the golden age.

Has anyone grown heirloom varieties in their home garden and is it worthwhile, e.g. does it taste good or is it more for the nostalgia factor?

My grandpa lived in Berlin in the 20s but I'm sure he was too square to participate in something cool like this. When he was in his 80s, though, he was a early adopter of "Bildschirmtext".

Great list, thanks, I'll be sure to use some of these. Here's the obvious question: how many more unknown-but-useful features are hidden away in other similar articles.

Sure, that's scary, but the science linking that to sweeteners is very weak. I'm not pro sweeteners but I'm anti bad public science communications.

We have an obesity epidemic, not a diet-coke-cancer epidemic in this country. I'd say the occasional can of diet soda is a good tradeoff.

Is the science good on this claim? I keep hearing it and we should be more concerned about insulin spikes but is there really a correlation with sweeteners?

In our multiplex (US) I could go from theater to theater since the seats aren't assigned but I've never done that, even though I complain about high ticket prices. It's not "legal", of course, but I doubt the bored

I went to see "Past Lives" (highly recommend) and of all the previews Barbie and Oppenheimer were the two I resolved to see. On separate days, though, I can't imagine doubling these two up. Do people do this to save money?

Yeah, that's me, I used C++ professionally throughout the 90s and early 2000s, then switched to C# (and C for embedded). Unfortunately, the C++ code bases I work with are equally old so I also have to look for a brand-new project to re

Unless Human already existed and you want to inherit the functionality without retyping stuff or delegating. I think that's where the old "prefer delegation over inheritance" advice comes in but I'm not against convenien

For this type of discussion I think it's important to contrast statically (or manifest) and dynamically typed languages. Lumping together inheritance and polymorphism kind of just happens with the former. With dynamically typed languag

100%, as I was reading the article I was remembering the different types of concurrency mechanisms I've used and I think it's helpful to have something like goroutines as a first-class language feature but it's not new in any

For me the moment was a year or so into my first programming job, this was in the 90s. We were debugging some device driver issues and found that we'd made bad assumptions about the order in which things happened between our interrupt

The fact that these kids can also improvise and compose makes me wonder if they were born with a lot of innate musical talent beyond pitch recognition. Of course that's the kind of "old thinking" the author doesn't want

I forgot about DSP32C, we had that in one of our vision systems. Fun chip but I preferred the TI offerings.

One more thing you'll need to know: you'll need a big car. Also, your garage will probably be the band's practice space.
