Check out a lock like this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07DR9CMGZ Mount it near the top of the door, out of reach of the small escape artist. I had exactly the same problem and…

Rather than "high density causes low fertility", could this not as easily be explained by "large familes leave cities"?

Before we age, we lack experience, context, produce less useful work per hour worked, and get paid less. Legality aside, isn't it rational to discriminate against younger people?

Thank you!

I would very much love to see the "simple CRDT" implementation described above, seems like it would be a great learning tool and/or foundation on which to build something more comp…

Indeed. I wonder though whether they could possibly know the answer to that question to a degree of confidence that would make them comfortable to pursue me endlessly to make their…

Does it drain me entirely every day? No. Does it drain me some days or in particular instances? Certainly! Are some people far less resilient than I, and are perhaps drained to a l…

I was a one-time Xmonad user, but switched to i3 recently. The enormous complexity of configuring Xmonad is what got me to switch, honestly. Perhaps if I A) needed enormous configu…

I recommend using https://github.com/Prismatic/om-tools , if only for the defcomponent macro: https://github.com/Prismatic/om-tools#defcomponent This abstracts out all the reify st…

As a dev working in Austin, I'd say that's about right, especially when you consider the cost-of-living difference: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=cost+of+living+washingt...

The thing that made me start wearing a helmet was the realization that, even if I'm the safest possible bicyclist there's ever been, there's no way to stop the environment from act…
