• Robinhood: Bought beyond from my interdigital sales. Also sold seagate today.
• Ally: Cleared final holdings, microsoft and tesla. I'll reup msft in robinhood.
• Paid rent while the money was moving around.
• It might be worth getting a stackoverflow account and starting to provide answers. The clout is a good bonus. Even better benefits: paying it forward + open source mentality.
• Brake fade is due to heat. Over long applications (braking all the way from like 200mph, or going downhill) the braking power decreases. Gas builds up.
• A strong thought I had today, and have had before: Convenience is the enemy of healthy eating, not flavor. It's so much easier to grab a granola bar or cereal, a sandwich or snacks. Healthy foods are usually ingredients which require some sort of effort to transform from their raw state into a usual meal. This is what makes good nutrition difficult. We have enough distraction and exhaustion throughout the rest of our days; to add more in a neverending task like meal prep is hard.
• To fight against this, I do as much prep beforehand.
• My morning meals have always been a shake. Instead of getting out the teaspoons and measuring 10 different powders every morning, I do it in a batch of 10 jars. Then breakfast is just pouring a jar into water in a bottle.
• I have a veggie smoothie every day. Instead of cutting and apportioning all the kale and tyogurt and carrots and all every time, I batch it all at once. Then a smoothie is just grabbing 5 items from the fridge, rinsing with water, then throwing in a blender and drinking.
• Same goes for carrots/beets for juicing.
• Same goes for bell peppers for hummus/snacks.
• Abstract route logic into other functions, then have your route definitions (decorations) be as simple as possible. This is called route middleware: http://expressjs.com/2x/guide.html#route-middleware. The middleware can be responsible for looking up a user in the database, requiring that someone is an admin, or much more. Then once the middleware accomplishes what it wants, pass to next().
• Read through the express 4 api docs.
• app.use(path, callback)
• If nothing is passed to the first argument for path, it defaults to the home route /, so applies to everything.
• This is exactly where you put your middleware logic, and then mount it.
• Pretty similar to flask all around.
• Read through the mongoose 5 api docs, the mongo shim for node.
• All around similar to sqlalchemy. Define the schema, connect to the db, validate against models, etc.
• Worked with briley for a minute on the hydra angular frontend.
• npm:
• sudo chown -R $USER ~/.npm again.
• -D is the same as --save-dev
• Webpack:
• Pip.
• webpack.config.js provides mores configuration for the package, extending package.json. Both are similar to setup.py. The webpack config allows specification of entry points, resolvers, loaders, much more.
• Can also be used to build your client app or start development (webpack-dev-server).
• Defines the main template to load, the js to run on it (react render, etc).
• Simple MERN blog app:
• Created the client react app, refreshed on the express/mongo backend and server app. Compiled with webpack dev, almost done.
• Webpack config has the entry point defined, which is /src/index.js. This is like main. It loads react and all the components + stylesheets.
