What's a good way to learn more about the history and function and current status of unions? Are there any good books/resources that aren't particularly biased toward one side or the other?

It's _so_ good! It's the best technical writing I've read in memory. It's outstanding.

New comment by jrheard in "Ask HN: How to overcome fear of flying?"

soar helped me a lot. the whole thing with the "strengthening exercise" is pretty hokey and just totally ignorable IMO, but the 5-4-3-2-1 exercise single-handedly solved my problems with turbulence. i do it whenever the plane shakes and it damn near puts me to sleep every time; and over time i find that i don't need to do it as often, because i've gradually become calm by default in turbulence. which is great!

it's totally a night-and-day difference, i used to be terrified of planes and now they're just a mild irritant.

Pretty sure I know the answer to this, but: can I remove the code from my profile after it's been verified?

I'm volunteering in a local high school, helping out with a few CS classes. My main focus is an introductory Python class. I've put together a few projects for the students in that class:

I'm excited to see how the rest of this school year goes - by the end of it, I'll have a suite of projects that beginners to Python might find very useful!

I worked there as a software engineer for six years, first in SF, then remotely in Oregon. I loved it. The people are brilliant and friendly, the codebase and tooling are top-notch. If you're a programmer, it's a great place to work.
