Google Reader tracks funky hours...

Ah... the trends feature in Google Reader continues to remind me that I really must try harder to live in the times of day that most people regard as "normal":

    Uh... but that's kind of irrelevant, since the graph is of the times of day that I use Google Reader, and I'm in PDT.

Java Blooper #2: Must be a Better Way...

The post you're reading is ancient, and yet slightly inexplicably popular :) I've recently started blogging again in 2020 with some fresh content. Check out some of the new topics about blogging again , dynamic method invocation , and aapt2 . It's Monday, which means it's time for another blooper ... What's wrong with this code? boolean hasThing( List things, Thing thing ) { for ( int i=0; i < things.size(); i++ ) { if ( thing.equals( things.get( i ) ) ) { return true; } } return false; } Update: Minor edit to add missing parenthesis from if statement that got "lost in translation" en-route to the blog :)

Configuring Mac OS X Terminal

The post you're reading is ancient, and yet slightly inexplicably popular :) I've recently started blogging again in 2020 with some fresh content. Check out some of the new topics about blogging again , dynamic method invocation , and aapt2 . I recently installed Leopard (Mac OSX 10.5) on a new mac. There are a few factory settings I usually change on a new installation, although by far fewer than I do typically with Windows. One of them is the default keyboard configuration for Ctrl+Left Arrow, Ctrl+Right Arrow, Page Up, Page Down, Home, and End in Terminal.

You can edit the keystroke for an item by double clicking on it, selecting "send string to shell", and typing the indicated ke

Java Blooper #1: Ternary Insanity

The post you're reading is ancient, and yet slightly inexplicably popular :) I've recently started blogging again in 2020 with some fresh content. Check out some of the new topics about blogging again , dynamic method invocation , and aapt2 . From time to time, we all write code that could be clearer. Sometimes in the rush of solving a problem, we don't pay attention to the micro details of the code flowing from our fingertips. Other times, we refactor some existing code, and don't necessarily take the opportunity to clean up as much as we could. I find it useful sometimes when reading code to think about whether it could be rewritten in a more straightforward way, and if so whether any lessons can be learned about writing tight and expressive, and most importantly, readable code. Over the next few weeks, I'm going to blog weekly examples of some Java code bloopers that I've seen. All the examples are real and have been observed "in the wild".
