    A friend of mine needed to create ideograms of chromosomes and abnormalities. This was my first time using graphics (in C#) to render the ideograms and React for front-end. Turned …

    "I’m 40. What I’m doing today, I wish I would have done at 30. Jiu jitsu," I was training yesterday and had the same conversation. I am a 48 1-strip blue belt and my body is starti…

    Everything you said is aligned with my experience in training. BJJ is pure pressure testing of what you are learning and it is as close to fighting without striking and other dirty…

    Same with where I train BJJ. Everyone is supportive and it helps make training fun.

    I have a tween with ADHD, dyslexia, and anxiety. I spend a lot of check in times with her because last school year's remote learning was rough.

    I suggest Brazilian Jujitsu. The rolling aspect of training trains you mentally to not to panic and problem solve the situation, deal with pressure, build cardio and relearn how to…

    I had the SAME idea after seeing not-so-good options out there. Great job! I am interested on how you did this. The conversion speed is really quick!

    Why not good ol' De Morgan's laws? return !(raw[2]&(QR|AA|TC) == 0 && raw[3]&(Z|RCODE) == 0 )

    This heartbreaking. My deepest sympathy to him and his family. As a parent, I can't even imagine such a loss or how I would even cope with such a situation.

    Some people consider it verbose? Wow. After starting with backbone and then later on discovering angular, I can confidently say it is not as verbose as other well known frameworks …

    After reading this, could anyone recommend a good intro to crypto book? I see a lot of good reviews of Bruce Schneier's Applied Cryptography.

    There should have been some warning on this link. That picture of that grieving (I assume) father was too much. I get the point the author is trying to make but it didn't have to b…

    Honestly, there were none. I think giving someone a challenge to do a their own pace was a perfect idea. I interview candidates in a discussion format so I can attempt to gauge pas…

    Funny. I had the same argument with someone about this months ago. I told him to google 'argyria'.

    I wouldn't but some would. I am more interested in my genetic lineage. To get a more accurate test like the one Angelina Jolie did would be a better option.

    If I did see something that suggested a possibility of something, I would go the direction of what you mentioned in the last paragraph. Although I agree with the FDA's actions, a c…
