Indeed. Anecdote: Several years ago I worked on a U.S. GOSS (Government Open-Source Software) project that was a web app that allowed different apps running on different domains to function as "widgets" and allowed…
That's definitely a viable option for biking around a city that doesn't have favorable spring or summer weather. Can you store your bike inside instead of locking it up on the street? I imagine an e-bike would be at…
I think a majority of the motor vehicles are taxis, buses, private car services, and what does the most damage per vehicle - commercial vehicles. Box trucks take a much greater toll on roads than a bunch of average…
For at least a few years now, even conventional "slushbox" automatics get better mileage than a manual transmission when in the same car. Lower maintenance costs are usually mentioned as an advantage of manual over…
It's not awkward, and it's totally your prerogative for telling a recruiter for that. If they say "well I won't work with you if you won't disclose that info", then I'd say "thanks for your time, good luck in your…
It was a combination of: 1) The language was created by a researcher (Guido Van Rossum) at a research facility in the Netherlands [1] 2) Network effect - as more machine learning researchers and engineers in academia…

Fed benefit programs are usually better (lower deductibles, larger provider network) than what a private company going through Carefirst or another provider can get. Depending on how high up you go and how long you stay…
Note: I can only speak to the DC/MD/VA region but HOV lane privileges for hybrids and all-electrics aren't being granted anymore. The HOV lane on I-66 in VA was always clogged because so many folks bought Priuses that…
Using ".component-name <insert child tag>" goes against semantic UI conventions and couples your custom styles to the tags instead of the classes in the component. It quickly becomes brittle when trying to update those…
Are you me? I'm in the exact same boat. It's not even just SF or NY - companies in Reston, VA or Tyson's Corner won't even consider even a partially remote schedule. I've gone so far as to offer to commute from central…
That's the most straightforward solution. I'm working on an Android app that syncs calls and texts to a Rails back-end and I try to keep the sync workflow as simple as possible. As for sync'ing, I found the following to…
