I had both lens implants done in 2 days, one each day.
No lens modifications necessary with 20/20 vision.
Went from legally blind to 20/20 in 30 minutes.

I'm actually at the end of my two week Christmas vacation, would be going back to work on Monday.
Been doing nothing but playing Baldur's Gate 3 all day every day for the past two weeks.
The only thing I had planned was a short online meeting today.
I got an email yesterday and it turns out to be a rather long on site meeting
So my vacation is cut short and my wake up time is about four hours too early (I'm a night bird, which is, unfortunately, pretty impossible in our morning-oriented society)

In US we call them night owls. I know because I certainly am one. That's mostly the result of years of playing music. Thankfully I can get by with five or six hours of sleep. This week was my first back to work after a vacation. It has been rough.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

To quote Gerry Rafferty (Night Owl):
Quote: Night comes down and finds you alone
In a space and time of your own
Lost in dreams in a world full of shadows
Down the street the neon light shines
Offering refuge and hope to the blind
You stumble in with no thought of tomorrow
Yes, I get a little lonely when the sun gets low
And I end up looking for somewhere to go
Yes, I should know better but I can't say no
Oh no, no, no
No, no, no, no

That's why I went back to work on Wednesday - so I can ease back into it, starting with a 3-day work week. Had I waited until Monday, going from doing nothing for a few weeks, to a full 5-day work week right from the get-go would've been brutal.
I still found this week to be rather long, even with just 3 days.

I find my self fairly late in my career switching primary languages. I've spent 20 years working with C# & everything Microsoft, and now I'm at predominantly Java place.
I want a good detailed reference book. I don't need beginner concept stuff, but I'd like lots of technical details. I'd like to build my knowledge on the subtleties that may trip me up where I may be making assumptions based on C# that are not correct in Java. Effective Java seems to be frequently recommended, but it's not been updated since 2017.
Can anyone recommend a good Java reference book that's reasonably current.

Yes, I found that book (Nutshell) most pleasant. Nice, short examples in the right places.

+5 for your first reference.
When I read your message, I turned to my bookshelf, thinking "O'Reilly Nutshells are good value."
Among the 6 on the top shelf was Java (5th ed in my case).
I was doing some serious Java development in those days (2005ish).
Although I haven't opened it in years, it has survived at least two savage culls of my library.

About 20 years old, but this was a book by the same David Flanagan, (one of co-authors of your first book), which I had studied at that time.
Java Examples in a Nutshell 3e https://amzn.eu/d/0DUBbTW
Not sure why he hasn't updated it since then.

Thank you. These both look great. And both cover up to Java 17.
The complete reference looks like it's got a new edition due to be published in March so I might get 'in a nutshell' for now, and then the new version of the complete reference when it's out if I feel like I still want more
