Most of Manhattan is north of 59th street and most of the day is not rush hour. It is so bizarre to me that I would be accused of lying about something like this. I hear complaints…

I removed that level of specificity out of an abundance of caution. I still use the internet by the rules of the 90s, except that I no longer ask my parents for permission to visit…

Anyone who ignores an invitation to have a drink with Stephen Hawking[1] has nothing to say that is worth hearing. 1. https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/stephen-hawking-time-t..…

I like classes. But you must understand your code, even before you write it. If the syntax that you use (the author is using TS, and JS/TS classes are syntactic sugar) matches your…
