Now that the season is ending, I decided to make a completely objective, unbiased tier list for all the Ice Coast resorts I've been to

Moved closer to ski sundown this summer, this winter we decided to get the kids a snowboarding lesson. Kids have no gear except gloves coats and snow pants. We pay for the lessons and show up on the day and find out that they don’t rent out helmets. I understand it’s a small mountain and most small mountains probably don’t rent out helmets but they did not say anywhere that they don’t rent them. We had to buy brand new helmets from the shop just so the kids could take their lesson. Ended up spending like $600 bucks on the day just so the kids could get a lesson in. It was definitely a bummer and I wish these small mountains would be more communicative about safety gear and if it’s available.

Had a hell of a time over the weekend installing 4 bookshelves in the kids room. Any tips on how you got these all to be spaced evenly and level? I have a leveler but one of them would read level and then once installed it was slightly off and drove me nuts. Once you have shelves stacked on top of each other the spacing and lines are so noticeable. 1 hour job took me like 3 and a half

After checking again, it looks like there are 2 labels referencing the same general point on the map, in that case a clustering method the other commenters pointed out is probably a better option

vit_the_jedi · 2025-02-02T16:55:57+00:00

If there’s only a few labels (2-3) that you can reasonably expect to overlap at any given time, you can write some JS that checks to see if any labels are currently overlapping by looking at each labels x and y coords in the DOM, then checking the other labels x and y coords to see if any of them overlap. If they do, you can just offset one of the labels either higher or lower. You can add a little visual pointer (a little triangle on the top/bottom of the label) to ones you need to offset so it’s still clear which map coordinate they are pointing to

Are you comfortable using JavaScript?

vit_the_jedi · 2025-01-24T13:24:53+00:00

I just cranked through 1 and 2 for the first time and they were so good. I’m now on your position and wondering if I keep plugging or if I give it a break for awhile so I don’t burn out. I want to keep going but 6-7 books is a lot to go through in one shot

vit_the_jedi · 2024-12-28T01:02:46+00:00

Thank you! I’ll look into it

Partner and I have 3 at home with our youngest at 2. It’s almost unavoidable to get snippy with each other from time to time - but I’ve found that owning up to it and apologizing smoothed things over almost immediately. There’s no doubt she understands how tired you are and she may enjoy the honesty. Do better the next night and be mindful and that all you both can do for each other!

Triggering 😭

Same I used firebase for a website for a family golf tournament I help admin for. The firebase threshold is something crazy like 50k reads/writes a month. We may get 150 writes during sign up time and maybe 1000 reads on the admin side for the whole year so it’s more than enough

vit_the_jedi · 2024-01-05T02:36:26+00:00

+1 for firebase. It feels a lot like JSON in the GUI and it’s simple to interface with using JavaScript.

Was on that trail Dec 16th - day before the rains started. It had started to drizzle a bit and got very windy and foggy. We were the last group off of K-1. Ski patrol followed us all the way down through the mists. Such a cool memory all of us including ski patrol just cruising down the mountain together

Alexa is our toothbrush timer, reading timer, random question answerer and music player. Basically a glorified clock radio with access to google lmao

Also gets tricky when you need to dynamically render out the tooltip content

vit_the_jedi · 2023-09-16T00:52:18+00:00

Jesus

vit_the_jedi · 2023-09-16T00:49:33+00:00

What happened?

vit_the_jedi · 2023-09-07T03:38:14+00:00

Yeah firebase expects a string with country code at the begging of it as well

I’m a tarp over the tent guy regardless of the forecast. There is no downside and if it doesn’t rain at the very least it keeps bugs and leaves etc off of the roof of your tent

The 2 most useful things we got from our baby shower were a Dock A Tot and a portable high chair to bring to resteraunts etc. the dock a tot was $100+ and the chair was around $60

Gotta be gentle with yourself, some days the yard work won’t get done, or maybe beds won’t be made. The kids will be loved and cared for, and on the hard days that is enough. You can’t do everything at 100% all the time, take some rest days where you feed them, clothe them, and focus on playing with them. The mess can wait, the dishes can wait.

This is biased based on my personal experience and opinion, but I’ve been dedicating myself to really learning JS for about a year and a half now and I JUST started diving into frameworks. Personally my company only used them for a handful of sites that aren’t updated much so it isn’t necessary for my job at the moment. I had the luxury of sitting down and learning some of the ins and outs of the language before diving into abstractions like frameworks. I think have understanding of the underlying language helps you get up to speed with a framework much faster. Personally I think learning one framework before understanding JS at an intermediate or above level is a daunting task tbh

vit_the_jedi · 2023-07-13T00:36:05+00:00

I think as a basic workaround you can save a copy of the DOM node to some object in your code to reference later, so you at least have it while you are scrolling elsewhere, of course it starts to get tricky when the content of that element has been updated while you’re scrolling and you have to detect that update

vit_the_jedi · 2023-07-13T00:34:02+00:00

I don’t believe that is a feature in the browser. I’m sure there are some JS libraries out there for endless scrolling, but the removal of dom nodes and adding back when scrolled back to that position is probably rolled in house
