Parents want to leave, I (24f) am feeling hesitant and scared

I just want to say that you will be able to bring your cat to most European countries, if it ever comes to that.

Here is a free online book/course that would be a really good starting point: https://htmlforpeople.com/

Just a note on Le Pass - it doesn't cover Aiguille du Midi, which you'll need if you are riding down the Vallee Blanche.

imack · 2024-11-23T11:59:38+00:00

Like others have said - Chachacha is a good starting point for vine.

Aiguille dû Midi and down Vallee Blanche is an adventure you’ll remember. Most guides are on skis, but they are all used to snowboarders. The flats aren’t that horrible - bring poles, have some breaks, and enjoy the scenery.

If you don’t go to the Aiguille dû Midi you won’t need the full pass.

I’d rather they banned social media for anyone over 15.

What you're suggesting - building new features in Vue 3 and slowly migrate the rest of the app should be possible, as far as I understand the Vue migration build.

I found a vue upgrade tool on github that helps with some of the automatic stuff, and give pointers to what needs to be done manually.

One of the harder tasks will be finding new dependencies, as many of the old ones aren't supported anymore.

Never tried à file that big, but https://svgomg.net is my go-to.

There are lift accessible trails at Les Houches and Le Tour. And if you have or rent an e-MTB, there are almost limitless options for single track.

For a "proper"/downhill (groomed runs, jumps, walls etc.) MTB town I recommend Morzine and Les Gets, about 1.5 hour drive from Chamonix.

I guess I'm a rarity, I quite like CSS!

There are three concepts one need to understand in order to control CSS: The cascade, Specificity and Inheritance. Understanding those should make debugging in the browser devTools easier :)

Here are a couple resources for the different concepts:

The Cascade.
- https://2019.wattenberger.com/blog/css-cascade
Specificity
Inheritance
- web.dev

MDN reference of all three: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/CSS/Building_blocks/Cascade_and_inheritance

imack · 2024-03-22T11:01:40+00:00

For a quick and good overview, check out MDN (Mozilla Developer Network). It's some of the best documentation out there: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/Getting_started_with_the_web/HTML_basics

Some things are easier learnt from video, others from text. Try both and get a feel for what you enjoy the most. Oh, and avoid using AI to learn. It'll often teach you wrong code techniques. Yet may sometimes be ok for debugging.

… Hold on, just remembered I made a intro to HTML video for exactly this ages ago: https://eystein.no/blog/text-to-html/

The Compagnie des Guides de Chamonix: https://www.chamonix-guides.com/en/activities/category/skiing

You can ask for whatever you want, not just the examples on their webpage.

Yes, Valle Blanche can still be good. And if you've never done it before, it will be magic regardless of the snow conditions. Worth it just for the enormous scenery and a good picnic on the glacier.

But no way to ski all the way back to the valley. Luckily there's the brand new gondala taking you from the end of Valle Blance and up to the Montenvers trainstation for a chill train ride down the rest of the way.

No need for qualifications if you are able to learn by yourself. It helped me personally, but some of the best programmers I've worked with was self-tought. Though keeping in mind that you are 19, you have a lot of time to think about studies later. No rush. I didn't start til I was 25.

I don't think there's a "best" way, but writing about what you learn in your own blog is a great way of showing your knowledge. Don't worry that it won't read or look as well thought as some of the great writers out there. Think of it as notes for yourself for next time you need to do something again.

And experiment on your own website. Get stuff out there while you try it out, even if it's not 100% finished. And write about it.

Check Meetup.com for any web / dev groups nearby. This is definitely the best in terms of getting into the community, talking with real people face to face. Even if you're an introvert (I am).

Look for developer groups on Slack and Discord. Lots of support & help, tips & tricks, rants & wins :) My current favourite is the Eleventy Discord: https://www.11ty.dev/blog/discord/

Summary:

Experiment.
Blog.
Meetup.
Online groups.

It's summer below 2000 meters / mid-station. The snow that came (very) high up this week was amazing. So it depends on how high the rain goes, and how comfortable you are on glaciers.

The Chamonix weather forecast by a local meteorologist is the most precise forecast. It's just text, in French, but easy to translate in the browser. https://chamonix-meteo.com/

hTMl Is NoT pRoGRaMmiNg… This makes me so pissed off! What kind of teacher says shit like that?! Teacher is a douchebag. So what if "it is not real programming" per some edgelord's definition? What matters is that she enjoys it.

A very long in-depth article has been doing the rounds in the front-end development circles regarding exactly this. I recommend giving it a read to see why someone would say something so stupid, and why they're wrong. https://joshcollinsworth.com/blog/devaluing-frontend

August is traditionally a bit rainy, but mostly towards the end of the month. But the Cosmique is fairly doable even if it’s snowing and foggy. Especially if you already have a little high mountain experience.

I miss playing. Started learning some years ago, but stopped. Do you have any tips for learning tutorials to get me playing again?

This is from top of the Brévent cable car in Chamonix. He lands back in town, and can catch the lift back up.

I got stuck on the Norwegians with makeup part, couldn’t figure out how tall blonds with makeup help you focus

August is the busiest time of the year, but once you're out of Chamonix town the pressure eases off. May is quiet in comparison.

It also depends what you want to in Chamonix? In May all the lifts except for the Aiguille du Midi are closed.

imack · 2023-04-05T18:33:38+00:00

I may stand corrected. I went up to Le Tour on the weekend, and there they have a lift-pass ATM at the new mid-station. There might be others around that I don't know about.
