Probably heavily depends on the country/region, but here in Germany it is basically the norm to be Vitamin D deficient. Like, half of the population have a deficiency when there is some sun and basically everyone has a deficiency for months during fall/winter/spring. So I have to laugh when I read "taking vitamin D does nothing unless you’re severely deficient". Yeah like, but that's most people in many countries lmao

Chrome Dev Tools let you simulate shit internet connection (2G, slow 3G, fast 3G, etc.) and Google encourages to this for development for the reasons you've mentioned.

I started taking Modafinil about 4-5 years ago and my only regret is that I didn't start earlier.

I live in Europe so you can forget about amphetamines/adderall basically, only thing you'll get here is Ritalin and even that not as easy as you might think. Modafinil is easy to get on the internet though. If I lived in the US, I would likely be on Adderall I'd guess.

It helped me so much that I wouldn't have completed studies and got my current job if I wasn't on it. I know, because I still remember the struggles I've had before (and over time learned that I am not alone, that many, many people suffer from ADHD-PI or ADHD-like symptoms and all think it's just them...).

Also, fuck everyone trying to tell people that "eat better, sleep more and do sports" will fix ADHD-PI. You should totally do all of these if you aren't already, but it's not fixing shit. Medication works.

Just give me a sane starter generator

ng new my-project

And please don`t hide webpack from me like angular cli does

ng eject; that gives you the webpack config and basically disables the CLI

Why would I ever want to learn some cli command that would create ordinary file for me which I can create as usual with the tool I already use.

You don't have to use it, it's optional

To be fair the situation has changed drastically over the past 12 months.

After 2.0, AOT got enabled by default, drastically reducing size, then 4.0 drastically reduced size, then the build-optimizer (default with 5.0) drastically reduced size.

I love it.

It is small if I want to, but it has lots of features if I need them.

I don't have to worry about 3rd party libraries, because the official router, forms modules, http client, material components, flex layout etc. are all high-quality.

The CLI not only helps with new projects, but also makes testing, linting, building, serving, generating new components/services/etc. easy.

Implementing lazy loading with the router was easy, so that only the modules that I need for a certain route get loaded and my home site isn't 500kb+ for no good reason.

It has a predictable release schedule.

Maybe if you live in a bay area startup filter bubble?

I don't see React "winning" on a major scale at corporations here in Europe.

Tbh I am quite shocked whenever I read about advances in React that Angular has had for quite a while.

"On iOS, we are using the WebKit engine, as provided by iOS in the WKWebView control. That means that from a compatibility perspective, Microsoft Edge for iOS should match the version of Safari that is currently available for iOS.

On Android, we are using the Blink rendering engine from the Chromium browser project."

The next big OS is going to be Google Fuchsia, which runs on the Magenta kernel (not Linux) and runs apps built with Flutter.

Inb4 nay-sayers, but if you have followed Fuchsia for a few months and have seen the speed of development and just how many people and new technologies are involved, you will see why this isn't even a question.

1) I'm still new to this, but why would someone not use Angular Universal/why is it not default? I have only read positives, but am sure there must be a reason.

2) Why do we need Angular Material 2, when Google's official Material Components Web project is meant to be used with all kinds of frameworks and even has framework integration examples with Angular2: https://github.com/material-components/material-components-w...

3) Should I follow Quickstart or CLI Quickstart in the docs to get started? I have heard that the CLI is recommended nowadays, but the Angular 4.0 release blog says the CLI isn't even stable.
