I was enrolled in the French Immersion program. At my school, we had both English and French programs. One of my memories of being in French Immersion, which is likely of relevance to this article, is that I remember in the 7th and 8th grad

I found the author posted this on Changelog: Hi, Rooby is a new object oriented language I created recently (written in Go). It looks just like Ruby for now because it's mainly inspired by it. But I want it to be a new language and sta

The public entity subsidizing your fare can use that leverage to make sure the rules are fair.

Since the city is subsidizing fares, I imagine they would have some influence into the service being delivered. (You can voice your complaints to city hall)

From my experience using public transit, there is a code of conduct which all riders must follow, and my understanding is that if you violate that code of conduct, you could either be fined, or if it's serious enough, banned from using

I wonder if there's some way to apply this to coding. Besides annoying my co-workers, would verbally talking about what I'm coding improve the quality of my code, or productivity? What about physical gestures?
