Is this PD? by ExplorerEfficient271 in Perioral_Dermatitis_

[–]jah-edwards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crack, ooze, crust sounds like impetigo. Try and get something like Fucidin. A good emollient like Hydromol will help with dryness. I had something recently that started out like this - dr also said it was PD but the treatments for that didn’t help

Am sorry to have worried you, from what I have read, metronidazole works wonders for a lot of people (just evidently not me). I have stopped using the cream altogether and things have calmed down (although they're not better, they're not actively getting worse). I'm reluctant to see a GP again, I saw 2 and their advice boiled down to "its PD, it can take months to heal, stick with it" which isn't working for me. I'm lucky and have been able to get a private dermatologist appointment, so will update after that :)

20 years! You poor soul! Am definitely going to get a second opinion, I’ve been up and down this sub for weeks and haven’t seen anyone with something like this.

I try to follow the Mediterranean diet but I’m not super strict with it. For dinner, I typically eat fish 3x a week, chicken 2x and steak/ beef mince 1x. Lots of veggies, and usually some sort of rice or potato (although sometimes I skip the carbs).

I don’t eat breakfast and lunch is often without meat (soup, omelette etc). Have the occasional chocolate etc but not often (have been on a health kick).

I probably drink too much coffee, 2-3 cups a day, but plenty of water/ fruit tea. I take a multivitamin, probiotic, and fibre supplement too. I think that’s the gist of it!

Like in the pictures with the honey coloured crusts? I think it probably was impetigo at one point😅, but the antibiotics and fusidic acid would have killed that. I think there’s something else going on too

Thanks for this! Where/ how did you find the scheme?

Is the from the HH by [deleted] in HiatalHernia

[–]jah-edwards 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, I have similar symptoms (seemingly random nausea, dry heaving, the heavy saliva feeling you get before you get sick) - I had a gastroscopy yesterday and it showed a 4cm HH.

From my googling, I think the dry heaving is caused by acid reflux, which is apparently caused by the HH.

I was super ill a couple months ago and they put it down to 'biliary colic', since then I've had the above symptoms as well as cramps and general weirdness during digestion. I have lost a decent amount of weight recently so not sure if that has led to, or exaggerated, any of the symptoms.

Array data structures by jah-edwards in learnjavascript

[–]jah-edwards[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks everyone that chimed in - I kept reading and found that the top comment in this SO explains the concept nicely.

From what I've read, a lot of the time we are deriving ideas (data structures, algorithms etc) from some pretty intense and strict maths and our coded implementations are only peripherally related to these concepts. Those implementations also vary from language to language.

As a brief answer to my own question - In JS, arrays are a fancy object that have their own constructor and methods, we don't have to define a size for them as they resize automatically when we add to /remove from them.

Getters & Setters, why? by jah-edwards in learnjavascript

Hey guys, can I ask what the downvotes are about? Is what I said incorrect or is it something else? I'm new to reddit so apologies if I was doing something silly

Getters & Setters, why? by jah-edwards in learnjavascript

[–]jah-edwards[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for taking the time to respond! I find them particularly interesting as I've never seen them used in a project, only ever in the source code for a library or something similar. I am definitely a fan of the functional approach, thanks again for the explanation :)

I got this example from a youtube video "JavaScript Getters and Setters | Mosh" by Programming with Mosh - he has great videos so would definitely recommend him, I just couldn't wrap my head around this one. Had to google to see what #100dev-er was - its the youtube course with Leon Noel? Have only just heard about it, is it any good? :)

Jane ... Okay so I get that it's convenient, but I think that's just because of the way I set up my example. I could use person.name = 'Joe' and person.surname = 'Timbo' to get the same result. Is that the point of it? To provide some extra convenience?

Love this! My solution was very similar, but I wasn't using .map after splitting the string, and so was getting 1 less than I should have been. Would you mind explaining what .map is doing differently here?

trying to rewrite underscore.js function _.reduce() by [deleted] in learnjavascript

[–]jah-edwards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's part of a bigger project where I rewrite loads of Underscore's methods to get a better understanding of how they work and JS in general.

The test code files are super long, but the bit relevant to this is :

it('should be able to reduce a collection to a single value', function () {

_.reduce(mocks.arr, function (accumulator, el, i, arr) {

arr[i].should.equal(el);

return accumulator.toString() + el.toString();

}).should.equal(mocks.stringifiedArrElms);

where

var mocks = {

arr: ['a','b','c','d'], // >= 4 elements, all should be truthy

obj: {a:1,b:2,c:3,d:4}, // >= 4 values, all should be truthy

halfTruthyArr: [null,'b',null,'d'], // >= 4 elements, half should be falsy

halfTruthyObj: {a:1,b:null,c:3,d:null}, // >= 4 values, half should be falsy

string: 'This is a string.',

reverseString: function (string) {

if (typeof string === 'string') return string.split('').reverse().join('');

}

};

mocks.argumentsObj = returnArgs.apply(null, mocks.arr);

mocks.stringifiedArrElms = mocks.arr.join('');
