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

When using AWS, the GraphQL client in AWS' Amplify library is also nice if one doesn't need offline/caching support.

New comment by d2kx in "Adderall Risks: Much More Than You Wanted to Know"

d2kx — Sat, 30 Dec 2017 16:21:08 +0000

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.

Welcome to React.

"I use React over Angular because it is so small! Also here are my 2 MB of 3rd party modules that are loaded directly on the home view, that the other frameworks come with and lazy load when needed".

That's what you get with the @angular/language-service. Enabled by defaut in WebStorm, and an official extension for VSCode: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Angular....

> 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.
