The Winter Village hosts many artisan holiday shops, selling unique items ranging from vintage-aesthetic puzzles at the New York Puzzle Company to wire sculptures at One Million Roses. During the holidays, Winter Village is located near the dining stands. Bryant Park hosts a number of dining kiosks that are open all-year round: from grab-and-go stops like Wafels & Dinges and Le Pain Quotidien to Parisian-style dining at the Bryant Park Grill. For some, it might be awkward to ice skate (and fall) in front of such a crowd, but the spectators generally mind their business and simply enjoy the dazzling Manhattan view.Īdjacent to the rink is The Lodge, an open-air food hall, along with numerous other food stands. Lining the rink are many tables and chairs with people sitting and enjoying their food from the nearby eateries. When the rink gets crowded, people might fall and bump into each other, given the close proximity, but the visitors are generally very friendly. However, some sessions do not have the ice paved beforehand, so the rink might end up scratched for the entirety of the session.īryant Park is generally geared towards tourists, people who own their own ice skates, or anyone looking for a weekend outing, so it can get very crowded on the weekends. Ice cleaning lasts about 5-10 minutes, typically at the beginning or end of a session. The ice is cleaned according to the ice-cut schedule found on the Bryant Park website (about every 1.5 hours). When combined with a $5 bag check fee and tax, a single ice-skating session could cost upwards of $40. Employees will then take the guest’s phone number and give them a ticket with a number for claiming their belongings when the session is over.

Visitors can check in their shoes and bags together at the skating pavilion – the small building adjacent to the ice. Arriving a few minutes late to your session is fine however, the session will still end at the same time. If visitors miss their entry-time, they will not receive a refund. “If you don’t have your skates the prices can be high, but it is definitely worth it if you can bring your own skates,” said Isabella Vidach ’25.Īt check-in, skaters each receive a colored tag indicating their session time make sure not to lose the tag, as it allows employees to verify you have a reservation. Rental skates that may have cost $26 the night before the reservation time can jump up to $30 when purchased on the day of. The prices typically increase when bought on the same day as the reservation. Tickets must be reserved and paid for online prior to entry – Bryant Park unfortunately does not accept cash. Prices can range from $15-35 for a 55-minute session. Ice skate rental prices, however, skyrocket during peak hours (generally weekends and evenings). The train ride lasts about 50 minutes on the D train.īryant Park is one of the only free-admission rinks in the city for people who own ice skates. Coming from Bronx Science, the downtown B or D train leads directly to the entrance of Bryant Park (42nd Street).

"One of the things that makes so good is that it doesn’t shy away from complexity. Haverbeke is a talented teacher, and he seems to have an intuitive understanding of how difficult concepts can be explained without oversimplifying them." "One of the things that makes so good is that it doesn’t shy away from complexity. Eloquent JavaScript is a guide to JavaScript that focuses on good programming techniques rather than offering a mish-mash of cut-and-paste effects. ![]() "The author, Marijn Haverbeke, has a great voice." Marijn Haverbeke’s conversational prose breathes life into JavaScript, making it accessible and engaging." "A tour de force that takes you from the fundamentals to the heights of JavaScript mastery. It deserves to share shelf space with Flannagan and Crockford.” I became a better architect, author, mentor and developer because of this book. In common with the very best teachers he dispenses his wisdom with disarming simplicity. He also has a terrific sense of humor and writes both prose and code in a friendly and un-intimidating fashion. “Marijn Haverbeke is a software philosopher and all-round genius. “If you’re at all interested in learning JavaScript, making this your first guide could mean the difference between getting discouraged and giving up and really getting into programming as a lifelong venture.” It covers the core features of the language concisely but then goes on to illustrate how to use those features.” “I think this is one of the most enjoyable programming books I’ve read. The sample code and exercises also work, which can be a rare feature in tech-related books” I really like the author's style of writing and clarity of explanations. “This book would make a great addition to any developer's reference books. it’s a book I will be frequently revisiting as it has put JavaScript back on my radar.” “This is all the JavaScript knowledge you’ll need to hit the ground running in a JavaScript project. And there are so many useful insights that you won’t be bored." Eloquent Javascript 3rd Edition is a worthy and much-needed update to the popular programming book. easily the most enjoyable read in this list. "It’s a smart, lean JavaScript tutorial that exists as an in-print book from No Starch Press, and a free, nicely formatted web version. The 3rd edition of the book is substantially improved from its predecessors and worthy of the hype.” The fact that the book covers ES6 is worth a re-read, but the new edition goes above and beyond with new illustrations, a new exercise, and tighter writing. «“ Eloquent Javascript 3rd Edition is a worthy and much-needed update to the popular programming book. Here are a few tips to prevent black spot outbreaks. ![]() ![]() Apply an all-purpose fungicide to the entire plant, following the label instructions carefully. Copper penetrates the leaf surface and prevents germination of spores so the fungus cannot spread. Reapply as directed on the product label. Spray a copper-based fungicidal soap on the leaves, coating the top and bottom leaf surfaces. Repeat every two weeks until existing spots stop enlarging and new spots no longer appear. Using a spray bottle, spray on tops and bottoms of leaves until the mixture drips off. Dissolve ½ teaspoon of baking soda and one teaspoon of liquid soap in a gallon of water. Organic options won’t kill the fungus, but will prevent it from spreading. It is recommended to start by applying organic treatment options, working up to the more potent synthetic, chemical fungicides if necessary. However, if much of the foliage is affected and defoliation occurs, the plant will benefit from getting rid of the infection. Solutions: In minor cases of brown spot, there isn’t any need to treat the disease. After this period, Bear's paw can be planted in containers or directly in the ground. Hardening off should usually take about 1 to 2 weeks depending on the outdoor conditions and the type of Bear's paw. Hardening off involves gradually exposing the Bear's paw to more sunlight so that they have time to adjust before being moved permanently outside. Most species will begin to produce roots in about 3 weeks, After rooting, the plant will gradually grow new leaves, at which time you can start to harden off the Bear's paw. Water occasionally and do not let the Bear's paw dry out. Step 5: Place it in a location where the cuttings can get light but no direct sunlight, as this can be too intense for cuttings. Press soil around the cutting, then repeat until all cuttings are planted and then water thoroughly. Step 4: Make a hole in the soil for each cutting, and place the cutting inside so that the soil line is at the lower leaves. Dip the bottom end of the cutting into rooting powder (if using) according to the directions. Step 3: Leave them for 1-2 days, as you need to wait for the cut wounds to dry before taking cuttings. Sterilize cutting tools between plants if you are taking multiple cuttings. Be sure to make a clean cut, and don’t crush the stem as that can leave the plant vulnerable to infection. No body wants a plant to grow long and thin from the beginning. The length of the cutting should not be too long, for once the cutting takes root, it has actually become an individual plant. Using your sterilized scissors, trim the leaves from the part of the stem that is inserted into the soil below, leaving only the stem, as the leaves rot easily when buried in the soil. Step 2: Choose healthy parts for propagation. Check the roots when you repot.Steps: Step 1: Prepare containers by filling them with moistened planting material leaving about half an inch of space from the top of the container. ![]() That is rot and you’ll likely need to cut off and throw out that stem. ![]() Yes, you’ll likely lose a few more leaves, but you’ll definitely lose the entire plant if the soil stays too wet for too much longer!Įdit: I just saw the black stem on the left. I can now easily touch the leaves and squish them a little without them falling off-which now makes the advice to “not water until they’re a little squishy” very good advice □Īll this to say, repot yours in grittier soil and stop watering for at least a couple of weeks (I don’t want to say a few weeks because it all depends on your environment, and you’ll just have to use your judgement here). Even though I did lose quite a few leaves while repotting, they were MUCH happier within a few days. Well I decided to repot them in better draining soil (lots and lots of grit added), and didn’t water them for a few weeks (it was winter so maybe that helped?□□♀️). I read advice that said to only water when the leaves felt squishy, and I thought that was silly advice since I couldn’t really touch the leaves without them falling off lol. When I first purchased my bear paws, I had leaves that seemingly fell off if I just looked at them, and I thought that was just “how they were”.

Let's lazily celebrate this day of rest :) 60+ Happy Sunday Quotes to Enjoy Rest & Relaxation I’ve repeated it in many interviews, wrote about it tirelessly in my writing, and have been very vocal about where I’m from.īay Area born and raised. The interviewer doesn’t ask, “Where’s that?” like past reporters have. I rep San Francisco and the Bay Area as a whole, but I don’t hesitate to shout out Daly City. I call Daly City by name and make it known that that’s where I was raised the first 25 years of my life. And like every other interview I have done up until that point, I make it a point to share that I was born and raised in the Bay Area. I’m getting interviewed about my latest passion project. I’m finally getting to travel the world because of my writing. We got the trip complimentary in every aspect. In fact, that’s why I’m on this paradise island. It’s a restaurant that wants me to write about my experience dining in. We finally decide to ditch the beach and go back to the place to get ready for dinner. The sunset is the perfect ending to a perfect relaxing day. My mind drifts off for a bit, remembering how confused and lost I was… I’m thankful I stuck with it because it got me to where I am. I often look back to my beginning stages of my writing career and how I kept up with my blog. However, it is my money maker, but it’s so effortless that the writing experience is peaceful as hell. I’m writing for pure fun and enjoyment, not because the bills depend on it. What am I writing? I don’t fuckin know, all I know is in my fantasies, I’m always working on something. I turn on my laptop and start typing away. I feel damn good in the clothes I’m wearing, and I’m radiating confidence… still humble though. I’m not worried about work, or finances, or stressing. So much time has passed since the pandemic that it’s a distant memory. In fact, COVID ain’t even a thing anymore. There’s no masks, no pandemic, no restrictions. My biggest concern is where I’m going to eat that night. I have nowhere to go and I have all the time in the world. The skies are blue, I’m by the beach, and I ain’t got shit to do. ![]() And when I say perfect, I mean a very particular kind of weather – I get hot hella quick. Hawaii? The Philippines? I’m not too sure, but I’m on some island. This time I’m in a distant land that resembles paradise. “Did you know we used to do this at Tatay’s house?” I tell my kids for the billionth time. Everyone grabs a plate and starts to eat. Everyone’s together, everyone’s happy, and life is good. The kitchen is filled with delicious food, so I start to light the candle so the house doesn’t smell like straight food the whole night. The once mellow home is starting to be filled with relatives, getting more and more chaotic as more people start arriving. My nieces and nephews start to arrive, and they immediately link up with my kids and start playing. ![]() It’s Sunday dinner, and we’re waiting for the rest of the family to show up. It’s from our favorite take out restaurant, and we have everyone’s favorite dish. There’s already food in the kitchen, and you can still see the steam, you know that shit’s still hot. The kids greet their grandparents and try to show them the latest things they learned in school, show them a new wrestling move their dad taught them, or give them a drawing they made sometime during the week. They take off their shoes at the door and make themselves comfortable. Anything I put out is just adding to the already massive amount of well-known published work I have circulating around. ![]() There’s no pressure to deliver because I’m working on my own time. I’m working on my latest passion project, but I’m ahead of schedule. We’re not tired, we’re not burnt out, and we genuinely love what we do. My house is clean, my kids are taken care of, and my husband and I are financially well. ![]() I’m working from home, the vibe is stress free, and I’m financially comfortable. I’m in my big ass cozy home, I’m holding my baby in one arm as I use my other hand to type up my latest project. Lately, when I close my eyes, I picture myself “having it all.” Shit, who doesn’t? And most of the time, my daydreams are forever changing… I think of everything and anything, which is probably why I’m notorious for getting easily distracted. Who needs entertainment when I got my own damn self? And truly nothing is off limits for me. When I’m bored, my mind drifts in so many directions. Y’all already know this, but I’m a dreamer by nature. When you feel bored, where does your brain wander to? ![]() Even if only one byte of storage is needed to extend a file, an entire cluster must be allocated to it and any single cluster can not hold more than a single file, so large clusters waste much disk space if there are large numbers of small files. The maximum size of a file or a disk drive that can be accessed is the product of the largest number that can be stored in the entries (less a few values reserved to indicate unallocated space or the end of a list) and the size of the disk cluster. Sub-directories are implemented as special files containing the directory entries of their respective files.Įach entry in the FAT linked list is a fixed number of bits: 12, 16 or 32. The operating system can then traverse the FAT, looking up the cluster number of each successive part of the disk file as a cluster chain until the end of the file is reached. The root directory of the disk contains the number of the first cluster of each file in that directory. Each entry contains either the number of the next cluster in the file, or else a marker indicating the end of the file, unused disk space, or special reserved areas of the disk. The table is a linked list of entries for each cluster, a contiguous area of disk storage. The FAT is statically allocated at the time of formatting. The file system uses an index table stored on the device to identify chains of data storage areas associated with a file, the File Allocation Table ( FAT). Main article: Design of the FAT file system The DCF file system adopted by almost all digital cameras since 1998 defines a logical file system with 8.3 filenames and makes the use of either FAT12, FAT16, FAT32 or exFAT mandatory for its physical layer for compatibility. FAT is supported by portable devices such as PDAs, digital cameras, camcorders, media players, and mobile phones. ![]() The FAT file system is used in removable media such as floppy disks, super-floppies, memory and flash memory cards or USB flash drives. Microsoft Windows additionally comes with a pre-installed tool to convert a FAT file system into NTFS directly without the need to rewrite all files, though this cannot be reversed easily. Hidden FAT filesystems are also used in the UEFI boot partition on modern PCs.įAT is still used in drives expected to be used by multiple operating systems, such as in shared Windows, Linux and DOS environments. While FAT12 is used on floppy disks, FAT16 and FAT32 are typically found on the larger media.įAT is used internally for the EFI system partition in the boot stage of EFI-compliant computers. These standards cover FAT12 and FAT16 with only short 8.3 filename support long filenames with VFAT were partially patented. Windows Me was the final version of Windows to use FAT as its default file system.įor floppy disks, FAT has been standardized as ECMA-107 and ISO/ IEC 9293:1994 (superseding ISO 9293:1987 ). Microsoft introduced NTFS with the Windows NT platform in 1993, but FAT remained the standard for the home user until the introduction of Windows XP in 2001. Uses įAT was also used on hard disks throughout the DOS and Windows 9x eras. Nevertheless, FAT continues to be used on flash and other solid-state memory cards and modules (including USB flash drives), many portable and embedded devices because of its compatibility and ease of implementation. FAT was replaced with NTFS as the default file system on Microsoft operating systems starting with Windows XP. The increase in disk drives capacity required three major variants: FAT12, FAT16 and FAT32. Originally developed in 1977 for use on floppy disks, it was adapted for use on hard disks and other devices. FAT12/FAT16: Per-volume only with DR-DOSįile Allocation Table ( FAT) is a file system developed for personal computers and was the default filesystem for MS-DOS and Windows 9x operating systems.
