I don't think this is going to be enough. We see everyday people affected by the pandemic yet many of them still refuse to get vaccinated, keep distance or even wear a mask... They will just dismiss these consequences as "one offs"...

I believe that our best chance is to do as much as we cand right now and to induce a sense of climate awareness into the younger generations. Bring them up believing, well, actually knowing, that the climate must be respected and protected constantly.

teniutza | 5 years ago | on: I don't want to do front-end anymore

I'm asking you this as I believe it will help me in the future. Is having the knowledge about the tool better that having the skills to solve a set of problems? If I really want a position within a specific company (for whatever reason) but they use a language with which I haven't worked before but am willing to learn (and definitely have the learning skills for that!), would I be in a disadvantage with respect to another candidate, one that has extensive knowledge about the language (and ecosystem), even if I would have experience in the "field of the app being built"?

This is really cool and nicely made! Congratulations! I'm assuming you don't have years of programming experience (feel free to correct me!) which makes it even more impressive when looking at the things you got right. This include the idea/functionality, layout, source and that cool Moon animation!

I would suggest improving a couple of things:

1) defaults:

  a) some people don't like pickers (especially this "modern" hour then time thingy) and would like to just click the "Calculate" button. I think that the value that you have already set in the picker is good enough for most.

  b) eliminates issues where the value is not visible in the GUI but it is set in the program. Right now, if you open the picker and click on "Cancel" (or outside the picker) without selecting a time, the input does not show a value but you can click on the "Calculate" button and it calculates using the default value.
2) tables of data: if there's not much data in a table, like in the one the recommended sleep time, do consider copying the data instead of rendering the image. It makes the data searchable (accessibility is important) and, usually, saves an additional request for that resource.

Definitely continue! You're on the right path.

Really great idea and nicely made! Congratulations! I'm considering making a poster out of it, with our home town. I think my wife would love to have it. Seeing it on the wall would probably make us less home-sick.

How complicated would it be to add the option of highlighting one or two streets? Something like, make the street line thicker or change its color.

Exactly my reaction. I do think that you can create stunning animations and for that you need some expertise but animations are the "the basis" for a complete and successful front-end.

Yeah, I must have skipped that line. Would it come in two variants or it's just that it's possible to turn it on its side? the XBOX logo at least would look kind of "wrong"...

It does and it doesn't. My current Xbox fits on a shelf under the TV. The cupboard is 60cm tall, having 2 shelves for all the TV-related electronics: BluRay Player, TV Box, and Xbox. With the new design, it can't fit in there... I couldn't find the exact measurements; I don't know it's height or if it would fit if I take out one shelf.

I get it that it wants to stand out and it does but at first glance, I don't think it's that practical.

Believe it or not, some people can both push a (virtual) button and look behind the camera at the same time. We preserve stuff for posterity. My own experience tells me that my daughter has a lot more fun looking at pictures and videos from when she was a toddler and hearing the stories behind them, than when I just tell random stories without any "immediate context" (location, other people, toys).

teniutza | 6 years ago | on: New Features in Vue 3

I agree with you on the preference part. I share the same preference as the GP. I've played a bit with Vue in the past, at the same time I was testing React. I've enjoyed Vue but the strings and template were a grim reminder of the Angular not-so-fun-times and passing members around per-reference and not "per string" made more sense in the general JavaScript way of programming, and so I ended up sticking with React.

Even with tooling support, those strings still make me wanting to look away...

Quite a lot happening in the morning, before you go out. Those are many steps which are not reported on the daily summary.
