It is quite an amazing idea. Every five minutes a user can place one single colors pixel in the canvas. Subreddits and other groups coordinate and make some interesting pixel art. Worth following imo.
The X1 Carbon/Extreme series used to be the only products labeled Gen x instead of a 2/3 digit code, e.g. T490.
Starting this year they rebranded all ThinkPad products to use generation numbers (presumably because rolling from something like T490 to the next number would be a little difficult, kind of like when GPUs hit the 9xxx branding mark), so X390 -> X13 gen 1, P53 -> P15 gen 1 etc.
How to take care of a toddler from 5 AM - 8 PM while trying to manage work and phone calls. Then how to not fall asleep while I"m working on projects until 1 AM. So learning how to function on 4-6 hours of sleep.
I have a renewed appreciation of so much that we usually take for granted, chief among those are the contributions of our teachers and child care professionals.
>Then how to not fall asleep while I"m working on projects until 1 AM. So learning how to function on 4-6 hours of sleep.
Try to take a ~30 minute nap in the evening somewhere that is quiet and comfortable but not the bed you sleep in. 4 hours isn't sustainable for long, but I've found a nap in the evening is sufficient to let me run effectively on 5-6 hours.
I say somewhere that isn't your bed because I've found that if you settle in the bed it can be far more difficult to get moving again, and also you can start to associate the bed with naps and have more difficulty getting to sleep when you mean to later, and staying asleep.
I'm in the same boat as the parent poster. Honestly it's hard to even find 30 minutes of free time and I only have one toddler. I'm the play person and my wife works multiple jobs (remote) so she's on calls most of the day. Seems the rest of our free time is is spent either cleaning or cooking.
If by any chance I do have time the only place to sleep that's not my bed is the floor. We sold all of our furniture and moved during the middle of this pandemic and all the dang furniture stores are closed!
Same here. Also trying to learn a new language without a dictionary: the toddler's cry, and trying to learn to make myself fall asleep on command, but being awake in the same time.
In similar situation like the GP (infant, a full time job + few other part-time commitments); learning how to accept that I have less hours in the day than I need.
Love the idea of shipping something smaller. In your proposed idea, would a user still need to make sure node and express were installed? Or can you have a user download a project folder and initiate the same way they would a typical executable?
When distributed to end-users it could be an executable with node DLL/SO bundled that has no UI (or maybe a simple tray/menu bar icon with an Exit to terminate and a Show to open a local browser to /localhost:1337).
When developing locally I presume it would be very similar to an Electron project, with npm dependencies for express / fastify on the "backend" side and React or whatever you need for the "frontend" side.
During build, you'd produce 2 bundles (frontend and backend) that tree-shake, etc. such that all js dependencies are optimized together. The frontend bundle should load in any browser (it'd be just a normal website with the only difference being that all REST calls go to /localhost). The backend bundle + any native modules will be loaded in the embedded node runtime so they can be distributed as loose files or packaged in something like Electron's asar.
There, I designed the whole thing, now someone go build it :)
I would love a four day work week, but I don't think my child's daycare would be up for that. It's hard enough getting my child picked up by closing time as it is.
