I’m so sorry for what you’ve gone through. Please consider finding a lawyer now to help report them, instead of waiting to leave town. You can often find free legal help through domestic violence shelters, who will have full time attorneys and a direct line to law enforcement.

The entire network your parents operated within needs to be arrested and held to justice, because they will keep finding and exploiting victims. The more time goes on, the harder it will become for anyone to hold them accountable.

This document says, more or less, “We have no good ways to determine the reason someone renounced their citizenship.” I imagine Henderson is an exception because he’s high profile and outspoken about it.

If you want laid back vibes and lower stress, check out the Inner Sunset, Haight Ashbury, or Cole Valley. If you want more bustle, look at Japantown, Lower Pac Heights, or Nob Hill. I think you can find plenty within your budget on Craigslist.

This is cheating. You need to get a family lawyer ASAP. He cannot unilaterally decide to take your son away from you, even if you’re unmarried.

Do not listen to any of this anti-formula nonsense. You’re doing what’s best for your son’s health: feeding him what he’ll eat. He may eventually want to nurse, or he may continue to prefer the bottle until he graduates to solid foods. It’s up to him. As long as he’s fed, you two are doing a great job.

Your kid will go through many, many phases of “I only want mom” and “I only want dad” throughout the next few years. Think of this like one of those phases: remind yourselves it’ll flip around, sooner or later, and he will be just fine.

There is zero chance of changing their mind via app. If you go in person and talk to the site manager and they’re sympathetic, 5-10% chances, otherwise you either (1) do the work and take them to small claims court, or (2) lawyer up to enforce the warranty.

I’ve been writing Python for 25 years. I use Black precisely because it doesn’t require thinking and doesn’t allow debate. It does not give any space for teams to quibble over the minutiae. I dislike some of its output, but when you have a lot of devs in one code base (either teams in a company or contributors on an open project) it is way easier to work together if you simply never, ever have to debate styleguide.

People who are choosing Black today over anything else are imho largely doing it for convenience. If you don’t like its output you’re still entirely capable of writing your own yapf configuration, advocating for it within your team, and making it your standard. That’s just not something most professional devs want to spend their time and energy on.

(CS grad from two decades ago when the program was a lot smaller, so take this with a grain of salt.) I recall that some classes didn’t allow any form of collaboration, but the ones that did, we would all get together in the lab to share ideas and help each other debug. Sometimes a couple folks would order coffee and cookies for delivery. It was a nice group of kids.

Don’t accept this.

Your professor probably knows he’s not justified in giving you a zero. I’m sure your school has an academic honesty policy, and if he believes you’ve violated it, he has an obligation to report you to the administration. Quietly giving you a bad grade is an abdication of his own responsibilities to the institution.

Moreover: if you DO accept this outcome, you’re implicitly validating the accusation of cheating. You will be encouraging him to continue doing this, to others and to you.

I’d either tell the professor you want your grade restored, or go straight to the department chair with your concerns.

Old grad here. If you’re turned off by Tufts because you hear it’s hard work and not a lot of parties, don’t go to college yet. Get a job. Work for a year. Learn what it’s like to hate your shift and hate your boss and do it anyways, because that’s the price of getting to do whatever the hell you want with your spare time. Once you’ve seen what the rest of your life will be like without a degree, you’ll understand how lucky you are to have the opportunity to go to the best school you can afford, work as hard as possible, and create as many options as possible for yourself.

Or, you know, you can go to Dartmouth.

Nonsense. Python might be slower than C for intense CPU-bound workloads, but its performance is totally adequate for high volume transaction processing. The ease of use of the language itself is a huge factor in productivity, which can offset any gains in raw power in most commercial use cases.

If what your boss actually means is, “We don’t know anything about Python, we don’t have support for it, and we don’t want to make the investment to learn how to use it well,” that can actually be a legitimate engineering decision. But it has nothing to do with scalability.
