You attribute chess.js as MIT license ... But I'm curious where you sourced 1,000 addon puzzles for $3.99.

.... As I doubt you thought them all up yourself. You may want to attribute your non-derivative assets.

I have never used it, but a predasessor of mine talked about Clipper alot and I believe it allowed remote execution blocks tied to a storage backend, in this case I'm talking about xBase languages ...

I think also Rebol supports remote execution blocks ...

This UI library can be re-targeted to Raylib, Canvas, HTML from its markup ... Good luck doing that with just CSS.

Put another way, this library is a step into writing an agnostic UI layer for your application which it just invokes from its business logic. If you can decouple your UI from your application code ala MVC or MVP architecture, as a developer you can find the right tool for the components that compose the sum of your project.

Would Google Fi support it? ... Interesting that they say it has "Google Certification" but no Fi support, which imho has International support (I live in the USA, but have traveled internationally with Pixel phones on Fi service with 0 issues for me )...

Spent the last 1-2 years building a survey tool for a campus in-house using a CMS. Did so using CI pipelines which aren't trendy at my campus.

2 quarters (4 months) from release campus decides to buy an Internet SaaS product. And the in-house project was shelved completely never to be touched now.

Imma really the integration lead for the campus with the SaaS vendor. But it turns out the SaaS product cannot create the Reports we want, nor is it granular enough in other aspects for our needs compared to our in-house legacy offering.

Se la vi.

Do you mean "High Index" lenses? ... I have strong prescriptions of -9.x and -11.x and I have had 1.66 index lenses. I've always noted to doctors light sources move around or float around alot with the lenses. I haven't necessarily noticed a difference with contacts (but I did see sharper with hard contacts) but my eyes cannot tolerate hard or soft lenses.

I have tried even higher index lenses, but anything above 1.66 and the distortions and optical aberrations get too annoying ...

Hi thanks so much. I also hope your issues are manageable!

I don't mean to pry, are the shots for macular degeneration or do you have retinopathy of diabetes? My mom has macular degeneration and has had some shots already (she is stable at the moment)... And the doctor says the MD could be hereditary.... Oh joy, but there's essentially little I can do about that. So (I figure) take an over the counter eye vitamin and basically try to stay away from more surgeries if possible ... Rarely are surgeries a better result (for anything) than yourself prior to the surgery; there are always tradeoffs to lens implants, replacement knees etc.

Meh. I have retinopathy of prematurity and -9.25 and -11.23 single vision lenses. My ROP was scored at level 3 of 5 generally speaking (I am a twin, my twin does not have ROP), my rop is considered stable. I get retina checkups every 6mo.

I've also had 2 retinal holes and 1 horse shoe tear across both eyes in the last 3-4 years... And cataract surgery in my worst eye last year implanting a mono-vision IOL. I am 43 years old now.

Everyone in this thread worrying about your -2 and -3 myopia can just go sit down ... Lol.

My biggest concern at the moment is the slow moving cataract in my "good" eye, I'd rather not get surgery for ~10 years if it can be avoided.... I write code for a living ...

Everyone's eyes age and deteriorate as we get older. My eyes are simply more prone to complications due to the ROP as they never fully developed correctly due to the incubator I was placed in at birth (born 2mo early)...

I had a Bluetooth keyboard in a backpack turned On in the trunk of my car while driving .... random key presses while driving from bumps in the road managed to dial 911 ... or make the phone think it was an emergency and 911 was called. Not fun.

The keyboard was spamming gibberish, eg NN nZzz1457_+-5hhhsvb .... etc

It took me a while to figure out why the phone appeared possessed...

I've installed and used Apache Solr for projects alot ... With 6-digits of indexed documents. So i have experience with search indexes.

I've not had the pleasure yet of using Elastic Search. Having read the article I wonder if using a Go based library/tool was the real pain point? Are there no Java based libraries/tools that are less of a square hole round peg situation as encountered in the article?

I take a huge project that could takes weeks or months. And try to break down the task into 3 pieces for delivery.

Then I take each piece to work on and daily make a list of 3-5 tasks i feel I could complete in the day towards the overall goal. Sometimes task #1 is super simple, eg put name on top of paperwork today, or cleanup stale files, etc. But the goal is to always be able to say I completed a task towards the overall current piece of the whole project I'm building.

The stress is still there but everyday I can say ... See how far you've come, little by little it's coming together; the "process" is reassuring.

Keep reviewing the overall project plan, and biting off little pieces. It helps to manage the anxiety in this way.

ah thanks for the clarification.

I suppose I was unclear, i ment in the article they mention some breathing techniques to try to help hearing... But i was curious if any other steps were taken? And if they helped whatsoever.

I asked because their brief discussion on vision quality was " i lied to my doctor as a kid, and in my 30s got eye surgery that was scary and messed with my perceptions!"..... Yet they seemed to skip just using plain old glasses to aide their vision throughout their formative years or even young adult years .... Or maybe that was just a narrative omission.

I was born premature at 2 lbs which caused retinopathy of prematurity. I've used glasses since age 2 and my eyes are prone to complications; having just had cataract surgery in my early 40s .... It seemed to me from the writing the author has an aversion to doctors throughout their life and seeking informed treatment ... But maybe I read the piece wrong...

I have used the Java smtp test email server FakeSMTP which has been around since around 2015. It can run via CLI as a service with no GUI, or with a GUI interface via Swing:

I never do "rm prefix" in a dir. I always do "rm ./aDir/prefix" for example. This assures I'm not globbing outside a directory (or just a directory) and tries to help assure I'm not shooting my own foot.

Yea, i love up 1 directory before I delete anything.
