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 this solved it.

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?

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 complicated!

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 sale, and sell and trade my information and their inference

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 larger degree? It stands to reason so. To be clear I'm n

I don't think it requires any particular paranoia or self-loathing, just the day-in, day-out grind against the receiver's psyche. We take it for granted that living with an emotionally-abusive person deeply affects someone's

In 12 years in Austin I have encountered zero scorpions indoors, and maybe a single-digit number outdoors. This despite essentially constantly walking barefoot in both. In my entire life in Texas I've been stung by a scorpion exactly o

I used to have this problem, and found it to be caused by a combination of two factors: 1) Growing up in a house with low water pressure. If the machine doesn't have much pressure to work with, it seems to do a bad job more or less reg

Indeed it can, but I believe the point is that it's not round-tripable, meaning you can't parse the resulting serialized JSON back into its original form, the one that contained the Date objects. If you could do so, JSON.stringify

I'm a former Arch user who's been using NixOS as my daily-driver at home for about a year now, and I've really enjoyed it, even above Arch (which I'm also a big fan of). The biggest gain over Arch for me is the safety ne

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 configurability or B) knew Haskell well I would have stuck around,

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 acting against you! I managed to go over my hand

As far as functional languages go, it's a nice compromise between the absolute purity of something like Haskell and the day-to-day practicalities necessitated by building practical, scalable things quickly (core.async, nice Java integr

This is a great solution! What would be the reason to do it this way if you don't already have the FSA? If you just need to hash a small-ish set of known items and keep memory usage low, I'd think starting with the table would mak
