I am a millennial and my parents did no events, since they both worked and had long commutes. I wonder when the middle class entertainment slowed down—I want to guess it’s when you have more two income households, that…
In my city, an older guy organized an “urban hiking group” where he would plan walking routes through the city, usually stopping at a restaurant for brunch. It was very popular, but probably a lot of work. He was…
Many accountants are worried about the risk of filing for their clients and won’t do it at all. Determination of ownership is not as straightforward as one might assume in many cases.
Looks good on my iPhone 11
Or alternatively, to add to the list, working parents cannot afford to live near grandparents. They bought in the 1980s.
I’m an accountant, not developer, but in my case I found freelancing much preferable to working on a team. I don’t think I’m “bad” at working on a team, in that my team members would be happy to have me on the team, but…
I’ve been using blot.im It’s not free, but it’s cheap and the workflow really works for me. You keep the files in markdown in a Dropbox folder, and the blot service uses the files to update your blog. This makes it easy…
Yes
I’m not a “kid” person, basically never held a baby before we had our first this August. As the child bearing person in this equation, I also did the most research on pregnancy, birth, subsequent baby stuff. (My partner…
Before Instagram, we had magazines to help teens compare themselves to an unrealistic ideal. I had an English teacher in high school who had an entire wall plastered with problematic themes in magazine ads, so it would…
I like it, but it doesn’t feel liberating. It feels like you need to be very careful, because if you express yourself in a way that could be taken the wrong way, it will be! But I like getting the insight into how many…
I have a - in my name, and while I’m used to websites not accepting this, it’s always interesting which ones give a neutral error like “only letters and numbers allowed” vs an insulting error of “please enter a valid…
Become a contractor doing this stuff for clients. I do bookkeeping currently, which is super easy for me, but in trying to train clients who want to do it themselves, and in general just working with all kinds of…
I thought your point was clear. As someone who is more of a “learner” than a teacher currently, I appreciate the thought of letting me, the learner, explain my current mental model and then a teacher helping…
Interesting question. I’ve taken free coursera programming courses, and now I’m taking university CS courses. On one hand, the material we are expected to learn is definitely more rigorous. But the actual teaching…
Maybe. Every time Intuit integrates another app into their main QBO product, it makes things worse. To some extent, when they are separate apps that connect to QBO, I get more control over what data transfers. When it’s…
I decided to start a CS undergrad degree 15 years after finishing my first undergrad degree. The university had a math placement test. I didn’t remember almost at math, but spent about 3 weeks going through the…
I appreciated reading about how both of them reacted to the realities of early retirement. I like to think I could be like the author, and be happy without much, but it did make me think if I might be more like his SO,…
I pay over $6,000 a semester to attend a reasonably-priced state university. While the professors may be overworked and underpaid, from a student perspective, for the money I give the institution, the institution can…
This semester all my exams are open note, no proctoring. I think it is harder for professors to write a good exam this way (they need to make the questions things that test understanding instead of just recall.) I’m…
Well remaining fortune depends on how much of it is spent, after all.
I have a Wacom which I believe is similar usage to Huion mentioned by OP. I have made videos by simply opening up gimp, setting up appropriate screen and background, and then using Camtasia to screen record my writing.…
This sounds lovely. As a student, I currently associate code with trying to get a problem solved in time constraints... And when I work on personal projects I'm always frustrated by lack of progress in the time I have…
I tried to learn to self code for a few years, but kept hitting wall of what to learn next. After realizing I really wanted a chance to change careers, I decided to just do a second bachelor’s, basically to have a…
I’m doing a CS degree now, mostly lower level classes now. I find that teaching well does make a difference. Interestingly, when my professors use slides provided to them by the textbook company, I generally find it…
