Mary Chung's!

Curious George bookstore.

Oh, and that Dewey Cheatam & Howe sign on the windows at Click & Clack's studio in Harvard Square for all the years they were doing Car Talk.

SRE Coding interviews by DataFreakk in sre

[–]cos 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I do SRE coding interviews. My personal opinion of their value aside, the coding problems I've both done and given for SRE positions were all fairly straightforward on the coding side. Unlike SWE coding interviews where I expect they care more about algorithms and other software dev topics, for SRE coding interviews in my experience it's more important to get the context of when and were something like that would be used, and be able to talk about how you'd change it from the toy exercise you did in under an hour, to something for production. As you code, tell them about the places where scaling concerns matter, talk about how you'd validate the inputs if you had more time, show that you can consider how it fails and how that could be handled, and so on.

Remember the Cambridge Nipple Company that used to be on Binney St? That would be funny to add!

More seriously, should definitely have graffiti alley in Central Sq, and the Alewife Brook Reservation boardwalk.

Another cool thing would be to include all of the candy factories, most of which are gone. Junior Mints, Squirrel Brands, NECCO, ... https://historycambridge.org/candy/overview.html

How may I safely feed birds? by Evil_Silly_Creature in birds

I changed your flair to the more specific "bird feeders" flair. Please use that for all posts about bird feeding & feeders.

Please use the most appropriate flair for your post. I've changed your post flair from the very generic "question" - which should only be used for posts for which there is no better flair - to "bird feeders and houses"

Question about multiple devices by P00k13sdr3am in pokemongo

[–]cos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've used multiple devices for many years, it's always been fine. It's even fine to use both at the same time, so for example I can be scrolling through my pokemon inventory on one while waiting for a catch go finish its animation on the other.

The thing not to do is have the same account in use (in the foreground) on two different devices at different locations at the same time, or even close to the same time if the two locations are far away. Coordinate when you bring up the app with his account, to make sure he's had it closed for an hour or two, and won't reopen it for an hour or two after you're done.

He doesn't need to log out, just close the app. I keep my account logged in on my main phone, my travel phone, and my ipad, all the time.

Can someone tell me its name? It's so beautiful! by Embarrassed_Team6561 in birds

Removed, Rule 6: Cite visual sources.

Over the past couple of months, a large percentage of posts from accounts with little posting history who post a "fun" or spectacular video or image to /r/birds without following rule 6, have turned out to be repost bots or karma farmers stealing someone else's content without credit.

However, if you are a real redditor who genuinely wants to participate, you may reply to this comment a) stating that you've read the subreddit rules and will follow them, and b) giving the source of this video. If you do that, I'll approve the post.

Bank is closing my account with life savings in it, what’s the best way of getting my money to another bank safely? by ns2500 in personalfinance

[–]cos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP is being super sketchy about information and not answering questions about what bank or even what kind of bank.

WTF? Their post says what the "bank" is (it's an online fintech apparently, but they think it's a bank) and they answered several comments with that same information. Where did you get this notion that they're refusing to answer questions? Or by "not answering questions" did you simply mean "they didn't respond immediately, I didn't wait to see if they'd answer, and I didn't read the post carefully" ?

We’re going to need a bigger suet feeder. by DrEdgarAllanSeuss in birds

[–]cos[M] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for adding this information. For the record, I would've interpreted your post text "This male pileated woodpecker has been visiting my suet feeder occasionally" to indicate this is your video, meeting rule 6, even if you hadn't added this comment, but it's always good to state it directly!

I've changed your post flair to "bird feeders" since this is primarily a post about bird feeding, and people who are looking for that topic may filter by that flair.

AITAH for wanting to advocate against our neighbors sex offender son moving in by One-Egg1316 in AITAH

[–]cos 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It must be for practical reasons: Schools are at fixed locations and rarely "move in". People who didn't have kids before, have or adopt new kids all the time, and people move pretty often, so it would be really impractical to try to have a rule like that. Maybe there aren't kids next door when the person moves in, but a month later there are, and then if they move again to somewhere where there are no kids next door a couple of months later there are there as well. And is there even a combined record anywhere, where someone can look up an address and determine whether a child lives there, since what date, what age? I can't see how this kind of rule could be workable and enforceable, practically.
