Back in the mid 2000s they had a ranking of most tortured sports cities, and Boston was in the top 5 (above Seattle, MPLS, ATL) Not long after, they had a βTitle Town USAβ competition, and Boston was a finalist for that too. They donβt even try to hide it.

Question for parents:
Whatβs a good age to get introduce kids to coding, and how? What languages? Curious to hear your thoughts, especially hindsight. Thank you!

Screenshot of pressing and holding "o" when typing on a MacBook. Annoyingly, there's no Ε.
Annoyingly, this works on my iPhone but not on MacOS (laptops).
If you're on a Mac add "Hungarian QWERTY" in Settings --> Keyboard. Hitting CTRL-SPACE will toggle b/w US (in my case) and HU layouts. Press the "[" key for Ε and the \ key for Ε±. Then press CTRL-SPACE to toggle back.

08.01.2026 22:00 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0I'm not sure about that. I could be wrong, but I use $[math]$, all the time, and I don't feel like a comma getting moved to the next line is something I've ever seen. But maybe there's another reason for that...
06.01.2026 21:41 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0I think the fix is to use \dots instead of \ldots. It seems to make a big difference. (See my comment above)
06.01.2026 21:18 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Interesting update: there seems to be no difference between
$3.1415\dots,$ and $3.1415\dots$,
Both of these look "correct".
Maybe I'd never noticed that before b/c I never actually use \ldots, and I've yet to see any reason why I should. Are there any?
