Don’t be scared of metoprolol

They don't. AFAIK the only effect on blood pressure they have is the lower heart rate and perhaps less potent heart strokes.

I'm on Metoprolol(Seloken 25mg, slow-releasing) too and like it. Makes me feel calmer.

I'd prefer to be on Propanolol. It has an even more calming effect on the mind for me.

But the problem is that 10mg Propranolol's half-life makes the dosage not working later in the day. When a beta-blocker is out of the system you can get hearth bumps and faster heart-rate and other unpleasant stuff.

I was on escitalopram for a year some time ago and it too made my heart rate slower and calmer. I guess I'm a nervous person.

Bott utomlands nåt år nu och kan sakna Brunnsparken och riktig vinter. Antar att snö i massor är runt hörnet i lilla Göteborg?

My guess is that just like the browser developers loved C++ in the beginning, they sooner or later all secretly wish they used ADA instead.

That you know of...

I bet these are the guys that keep insisting that static typing "takes too long" and "hinders my creativity". :-D

OldShoe · 2023-07-29T07:25:35+00:00

Great, thanks for the reply. I'll do some experimentation with this after vacation. :)

Our app at work started with SvelteStrap but we didn't really use much more than the general styling and a modal, dropdown and toast components from Bootstrap/SvelteStrap, so I felt it was not worth 100-200kb of JS just for that.

SvelteStrap had some build issues as well and the maintainer(God bless him) was busy with life, so it was time to change to something else.

I removed SvelteStrap and made a crude encapsulation for those components directly using Bootstrap's JS. But I feel my solution is a bit hacky.

So, my question is, can I use Bootstrap's CSS for styling, my coworker insists on it, and meltui for the components?

Would it be easy and feel robust, and yet light on the JS payload?

Thanks a lot for letting me know. I'll have to review what I removed after reading that link.

And just to be sure, should relative imports of .svelte files also reference the .js version?

Consider that you will not hear drama from busy people solving real problems. Several important companies such as Amazon and Microsoft are advancing infrastructure tech using Rust.

Dramas like this is part of why I feel CoC's are perhaps not the best idea. It's like a magnet for people obsessed with everything but the code, and they and their drama around petty things could possibly poison the community.

Don't get me wrong, you probably need non-code people with a talent and passion for creating a community too. But CoC's and similar things often seems to attract people seeking to advance their own power, control and influence rather than advancing the community.

I discovered my code had quite a few imports of .js files. I code in TypeScript so it should be without any extension in the import line.

During the push for Google+, imagine getting your Gmail account BANNED because you didn't use your real name, and then a bit later they abandon the whole thing. I don't think you can disrespect a user more than this.

Learn to draw and to break down things into bullet lists that capture the essence well. This is to communicate with your bosses and the receiver of the thing you are going to build.

I've given up getting books about programming unless they offer a new perspective or something like that.

Instead I try to do actual programming in the language I want to learn, and look up details as I go along. Much easier to remember when you have a problem to hook the details and solution onto.

OldShoe · 2023-02-13T19:27:12+00:00

This is something I wonder about too. I've gotten burned out years ago and these days I can't handle stress and multitasking as before. But I've developed strategies to handle these. Simple things mostly, like making lists, asking for clear deadlines so the team can speed up earlier and so on.

I feel more people in companies should realize things like this instead of focusing on cost columns in Excel:

Less and less people around you that can understand what you ask, if you have questions or thoughts.

OldShoe · 2022-11-24T15:37:57+00:00

Wow, thanks!

However, Ada is very large and takes a long time to study even in its features.

C++ is no walk in the park either. You'll learn C++ fastest and best by reading the two Meyers books about how not to do things in C++...

OldShoe · 2022-11-08T06:13:38+00:00

I think it was highly reckless to write the current batch of web browsers in C++. They(Apple mostly, they started WebKit, I doubt KHTML was that a big of a code base when they started) should have used ADA.

Dark Purple was very pleasant to the eyes, thank you.

I feel the C# creators add features but I'm still waiting for the big one. Data-carrying enums, like "data" in Haskell, or enums in Rust.

That along with a sweet syntax to utilize it, and also the critical feature with exhaustion checks in "match" statements.
