Golf is crazy because Rory McIlroy just had the biggest, most adrenaline-filled and emotional moment of his life, and the very first thing he gets to do afterward is sit quietly in a room with his hands folded in his lap and talk softly to an elderly gentleman

My wife trains puppies and this is the current little guy in the house.
🎇 After announcing project 'firework' aka. #compose #hotreload, I promised to document the journey.
This video will explain the first attempt at implementing Hot Reload: ClassLoaders (why it is great, but not the currently used approach)

My own pet peeve is when folks use `?.let {} ?:` instead of if/else when checking null
It's less readable, and more error prone (because if "doThing()" accidentally returns null, then you end up running the ?: branch, which often is not what you actually want.
The first regular season women's Top 25 poll is out. Highest ranking for UMass-Dartmouth, Whitman breaks in, Concordia-Moorhead joins and Transylvania drops out. www.d3hoops.com/top25/women/... #d3hoops
Now, it’s definitely the case that at most half of the current top 120 are good enough teams to be in contention for a Pool C bid. But that’s for you to eyeball at this point.
Emmanuel has 1 banked impactful win, and 6 remaining.
RIC has 0 and 8
Guilford has 0 and 9
Arcadia has 0 and 10
…
Wartburg has 1 and 17
Tufts has 1 and 21
you start to get the idea!
Southern Virginia has just 1 banked Impactful Win so far. They have only 4 remaining. Because Guilford is one of those, tonight’s game is massively impactful for Southern Virginia’s Pool C hopes (not commenting on Pool A hopes).
Hamilton (119%)
MIT (118%)
U of New England (118%)
Vassar (115%)
UW-Platteville (113%)
Trinity CT (111%)
Wartburg (111%)
Tufts (108%)
The percentage itself doesn’t mean/imply anything, but where you sit on the scale does.
For tonight’s games:
Southern Virginia (168%)
Emmanuel (143%)
RIC (138%)
Guilford (133%)
Arcadia (130%)
Ripon (130%)
Wheaton IL (125%)
Springfield (123%)
SJF (120%)
How potentially impactful to NPI (and specifically chances of getting a Pool C bid) is a single game?
For reference, among top 120 teams, the avg “STAT” is 122%, min is 88% (NYU), max is SUNY Cobleskill (243%).
The model is still very much in flux as Massey, Efficiency, and NPI are all inputs, and all of those are shifting greatly b/c of small data, shaking off the dust of last year’s results, or other.
NPI ranks can shift by even 100 +- spots (off a single result!) this early in the year so it’s almost useless to look at the current NPI ranks.
***New Model***
Pool C Opportunity
In our brave new NPI world, there will be a transition period as we try to figure out where teams really stand.
