This looks great thanks! I really appreciate the color blindness functionality. As a color blind web dev i really have issues with coming up with good color palettes and this looks like something i can use.

Great job!


To quit smoking. I never thought i could do it after all those years and here i am 1 year smoke free


Grats, It took me a year of trying and patches to be able to rid my self of the bad habit. Haven't smoked in 5 years.


Congratulations and, as someone who's allergic to cigarette smoke, thank you!


How did you do it ? External help ?


Sorry for the really late reply but what helped me in the end was "The easy way" by Allen Carr


Not OP, but I would recommend Chantix/Champix. It's like quitting on easy mode.


Congratulations!


Fiverr was never worth it.


PHP is not mature or fast or popular? And PHP is very far from dead no matter where you are. In fact is getting a lot more interest now since PHP 7.

If you don't like PHP that's one thing but what you said is just wrong.


PHP isn't dead, and it will never be dead, but as a long time and continuing professional Perl developer myself, let me tell you that you're better off just accepting that your language of choice isn't in vogue anymore.

It's not all bad once you're on the ass-end of history. I'm sure you can easily identify a few negatives being the language de jour bring (such as lots of shitty programmers joining the community all the time). Welcome to middle-age. ;)


Perl 5 is pulling me like a superstrong magnet. I haven't had time to read the basics and things like choosing the correct sigil + accessor trim me up, but still, it has many niceties. To begin with, you can have a statement "use v5.x;" and be done with which interpreter problem: it can tell you it needs sth. different, and does not fail because you have python3 to be 3.x, but the script needs 3.x+y, or you have the shebang as python3.x but the system has 3.x+y which is compatible, but you can only have one full path in the shebang... Then the context variable $_ is just lovely. The availability of mature libraries for everything is a trait Perl shares with a small number of languages. Its integration to Unix and its expressivity are second to none. The documentation, while not as accessible as Emacs', is available on you computer offline in man pages, and perldoc can give you proper docs on functions (unlike crappy help() in Python which never shows you anything useful and you have to go to the docs, usually online), add to that POD being a very nice way to add documentation to your scripts and also view them (if its in the path you can "perldoc <script>" and get help. And once you know your way around perl* man pages, you can just program independently, with little or no need to go online for Perl stuff. All niceties other languages/communities could've had, but just don't, because, well IDK why.

I'm a 25yo, so when I started programming Perl hatred was the hot thing already. Well, luckily as a curious person I discovered its just baseless cargo cult. Perl is one of the best tools to have in your toolbox.


Well said!


I use TornadoFX daily and its a joy to use.


This looks great, thanks for bringing it to my attention!


From the article:

> "A radical low-calorie diet can reverse type 2 diabetes, even six years into the disease, a new study has found."


I really like Tim Ermilov's "Building products with Javascript" course. It goes on how to build a full product from backend to frontend and uses React for the frontend.

Here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPkKhlR0sXtN5hlB228xuTg


How is eating no meat healthy?


It's not, but you shouldn't take my word on it. For a supposedly science focused crowd, most people here on HN don't know what they're talking about when it comes to diet. Programmers in general tend to be overweight and unhealthy.


I need special diet to get a six pack (naturally high body fat), but I can do half-marathon, kickbox etc.


It is very possible to be a healthy meat eater but in general vegetarians have lower incidences of common ailments that decrease lifespan in western populations like cancer and heart disease.

Here's a relevant meta-analysis: https://www.karger.com/article/fulltext/337301


And how is chicken not meat ?


No red meat, which is the real meat. In many countries you can call yourself a vegetarian and still eat chicken :-)


Most kinds of preserved meat (bacon, sausages) are very unhealthy. Other kinds have lots of artery clogging fat. Grilled meat can also be cancerous.


It is for me. My stomach doesn't like it, I actually enjoy it a lot :(. I do eat fish,chicken.


Lately i have been developing with Node.js/Express and React+Redux with rxjs. I also know Rails, some React Native, Java.

If you are interested send me a message and we can talk.


I can't send you a direct message on here visit www.udo.com.ng and send me a message from there :)


That would be electron.

http://electron.atom.io/


Electron would be analogous to Cordova, which is what ionic is based on. Something like Microsoft fabric or similar, or even bootstrap would be the analogous thing for desktop.
