In my 40s. I feel that way too sometimes. My advice: try new things! I just started motorcycling; signed up for MSF course, got a used bike and it’s awesome. I play beer league hockey and that one night a week playing and being with the

I do! I did the 2019 AoC in Clojure and really enjoyed it. I plan on getting to the 2020 and 2021 ones at some point.

I'm in my 40s doing the leetcode grind, but weird thing is, I'm actually ENJOYING it. I get a little high when I solve a problem, and I feel good about re-learning / re-discovering data structures and algorithms that I just

Great article, love Clojure. Was trying to figure out what Nanit does. Might want to consider putting a link to the Nanit homepage on your engineering page. When just typed in nanit.com and saw the baby monitor tech, I thought maybe I we

I think it's just called the "broken stick" rule. Specifically, if you break your stick, you HAVE to drop it on the ice immediately and be done with it. If you even skate back to the bench holding it, you can get called for

I don't think it's fair to mention the police confrontations without all the facts / context. Simply put, based on the reporting by The Washington Post, the situation is not so clear-cut: https://www.washingtonpos

Why do you feel it is "the natural tendency" to make minorities feel less welcome? My natural tendency -- and anecdotally, pretty much everyone I know -- is to treat people well regardless of their race; to treat people the way y

I delivered a session at JavaOne (2001?) on Ant (I was a whiz at it). Then, I had to learn Maven as it gained traction. I'm currently doing Android development, but I'm a little embarrassed to say that I don't really grok G

In my beer hockey league (Charlotte), goalies have to pay the league fees too. And it's up to the player-coach to find a sub if the primary goalie can't make the game. Our league is relatively "formal" in that we all h

Ice hockey also has the +/- metric, and as a defenseman that doesn't get a lot of goals and assists, I'm glad it's there.

Shouldn't there be a connection between the top-right red circle and green circle in that very first graph?

Agreed - it would be really great to have automatic recording of reps like we have for steps, but as you pointed out, you would need "smart equipment" and "smart free weights," which are either very far off from happenin

You are right. The way I solved for this scenario is that when a record is first created on the device, a GUID is created for it (and stored using another column of course). When POSTing new records to the server for syncing, the server w

Java has always allowed for class members using the "static" keyword. The GoF book predates the public release of Java. The code samples in GoF are in C++ and Smalltalk. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Java 8 does allow functio

Thanks. Honestly, I didn't even know that Garmin offered an SDK to build apps. Will have to build a Riker app for the Garmin's too :)
