Another reason not to return a 404 in that case is that chances there will be monitor tooling in place that will treat a 404 as an "error" that will show up in your alerting, but w…

"vicious" Think you meant to say "vacuous"

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 hoc…

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…

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 nani…

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 t…

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 cle…

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 re…

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 em…

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 i…

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.

Developer here. Thanks for checking out my app, Riker. In case anyone is curious, the iOS app is native, written in Obj-C. The Riker web app is written using React and Redux. The R…

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," whi…

Sorry if it's already mentioned, but I found it frustrating that I could not get to the winnie homepage ( http://www.winnie.com ) from the blog. Even the "Home" nav link at the top…

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 P…
