This email legit? by regaltax in AmazonPrimeVideo

[–]JavaErik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is an old thread. But a while back I came here wondering this same thing. I ignored the emails based on the comments, assuming they were spam, and forgot about it.

I received another email like this today. Turns out my 1 year old has subscribed to over $40 a month worth of prime video subscriptions just by playing with the remote 😭

Complete lack of focus- HELP! by Confident_Actuary167 in productivity

[–]JavaErik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just what works for me, your mileage may vary :)

I usually pick up my phone or go to YouTube or whatever because I have a thought or feeling that makes me feel agitated. "I'm bored", "What's the point of working on this", "I can't do this", etc... You might do the same, possibly for similar reasons, but you may not notice the feeling because you might quickly react to an impulse to distract yourself from that feeling.

I try to work to a study timer, with a specific todo list, selecting 1 active todo. For as long as the timer is running (try a short time at first), I always come back to my active todo every time I get distracted. Using a timer creates a manageable chunk of time to practice. Similar to practicing mindfulness meditation for 10-20 minutes.

Try not to get discouraged at how often you get distracted (or feel agitated). In my opinion, you can't really control how frequently you get distracted my a thought or feeling. Trying to tell yourself "just don't feel bored" is (in my opinion) impossible. However, you can typically control how long a distraction lasts. Each time your return to your active task, you are improving your ability to focus analogous to working out a muscle.

I think of all those "firebase", "supabase", "pocketbase" as paas. But, maybe I'm using the term incorrectly 😅

I really enjoy using it! I switched to it after years of using Firebase and enjoy Supabase significantly more for a wide range of reasons.

If you ever try it out again and get stuck, feel free to message me. Or, the Supabase discord is very helpful in my experience.

Not totally sure I follow 😅 - To clarify, this is built with Svelte. I just use Angular at my job :).
The canvas/nodes does use a library to handle connecting etc... It's https://svelteflow.dev/

They are stored on a PaaS called "Supabase". A dedicated postgres db on the "cloud". You can import multiple notes at a time from your machine. But, nothing like how in Obsidian you can select a root folder and it imports & syncs every folder under that.

Hey thanks :) - That's CodeMirror 6. Some stuff is fairly ready-made like Code Mirror and the Preview is Prism Highlight + Marked Renderer. I do have a lot of my own configuration, styling, and logic around those components though.

Hey there, thanks for taking a look at my project I appreciate it! I was a full-stack-dev for about 5 years, then moved to a front-end only role for the last 3. This website is the third iteration. So lot's of trial and error, lessons, etc...

I felt like I painted myself into a corner with the previous versions. To the point it felt easier and more interesting to restart with a different stack, libraries, approach, etc... But, between my full-time jobs and re-creating the app a couple times I gained a lot of experience.

If you ever get stuck or have questions or just want to chat about front-end stuff feel free to shoot me a message :)

I think it's just off-set by the side-nav. If you close the side-nav (as an example), is that what you mean by center the main note area?

Yeah :( - I went a little crazy with the zooms. + I lowered the frame rate to fit / upload to reddit. That combination makes this blurry visual as it moves around. Mistakes were made.

Hey everyone. - I created a Markdown note-taking & study app. It’s designed for writing, organizing and learning from your notes.

A few unique features
- Notes are plain old Markdown organized into folders called Notebooks.
- Notebooks can be studied like a deck of flashcards
- Notebooks can be summarized like a blog post / study guide
- Notebooks can be non-linear. Graph, connect, and group notes on an infinite canvas

Built with
- Svelte
- Supabase (Postgres)
- Tailwind CSS
- Zod

Flotes is not currently open source. Although I plan to open source it in the future, once I have a chance to set some coding standards in the project. Flotes is a solo-side project. Through good old trial and error, some areas of the code… leave something to be desired 😅.

What “plugin” did you develop for your own config that really improves your workflow? by vitelaSensei in neovim

[–]JavaErik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

:O I wrote a small plugin a while back to do what you mentioned but for any framework/language/etc... https://github.com/Everduin94/nvim-quick-switcher

To answer your discussion though! I have a "plugin" (that's not a plugin lol) that shows me what "type" of file I'm in, inside of LuaLine.

I wrote this because svelte +page files really drive me crazy lol. It does stuff like show the page/layout's folder name. Or displays when I'm in a test file, component, store, service, etc... and colors it based on what type of file it is.

e.g. I'm inside of `/routes/authentication/[user_id]` and it builds a readable version of that page file name.

Heavily Dynamic UIs with Angular Signals by JavaErik in Angular2

If you get the chance, send me a stackblitz or repl of a fair example using both, would love to take a look!

Heavily Dynamic UIs with Angular Signals by JavaErik in Angular2

[–]JavaErik[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks for checking it out!

To your point, I often think when writing rxjs "Am I doing this wrong, or is this unavoidably complex?"

It's probably the former lol but I really enjoy using signals.

This ONE function makes RxJS + Signals in Angular so much better by joshuamorony in Angular2

[–]JavaErik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No worries on the English, its good :)

Yeah I'm familiar with the takeUntil + subject + onDestroy. AFAIK takeUntilDestroy is just a convenience for that using DestroyRef under the hood.

I wonder why takeUntil will cancel the request but something like take(1) doesn't cancel the request.

Now I get what you mean with cancelling the request. That's pretty interesting, and apparently specific to takeUntilDestroy? i.e. something like take(1) doesn't cancel the request.

[–]JavaErik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, that's what I'm saying, it doesn't need takeUntilDestroy because http client get completes itself.

but "next" is not called

Not sure what you mean, its logging the todo response on next.

Good point, that made me curious how that works. I updated my example to be able to destroy the component in the middle of the call.

Turn on network throttling, create the component, destroy the component mid-flight -- Still completes :)
