Pretty sweet! I'm building out an AI powered motion graphics & video generator and the biggest limitation is not having HTML and Canvas play well. Some visual effects, while cool looking, really impact performance so I have to compromise. I genuinely think this is the last thing we need before we have After Effects level capabilities for AI motion graphics on the web.

Very stoked for this!

Really cool. I'm currently building a text animation library and this should solve a lot of the margin issues that I've faced

As a pharmacist, I kinda like this

"I'm thinking about it right now!"

I don't have any advice as am in a similar predicament albeit I'd consider myself less mature (25M just finished uni) and have mild Aspergers/ADHD

Anyways my dad died abt 6 yrs ago. At the time of his death our financial situation was already dire. We had sold our house for roughly 70,000$. 20,000$ was used to pay off loans that had accrued a lot of interest as my dad had lost his job and my mother had no source of income. My mother decided to put the remaining 50,000$ into a shady sacco that promised significant monthly returns. I was obviously skeptical and vehemently opposed this as it was a good chunk of our net worth. The sacco's leader stole all the money (no surprise). His religious fascade is what made people trust him the most including mom. I was 17 at the time.

Everything just started to fall apart. We got evicted 2 yrs later and moved in to a small 2 bedroom apartment (which we reside in to this day). My dad died of a suspected heart condition (similar to yours) but inherited some lands from my grandfather.

We managed to sell them over the yrs (for sustenance, rent, 2 siblings school fees and my college tuition) but we've finally exhausted any wealth we had. I still sleep on the couch or mattress (both equally uncomfortable) as the place isn't big enough for all of us. It's taken a toll on my back and neck. Am always sore even though am just 25!

I just graduated. I'm about to start earning some good money and also bootstrap my start up. I'll afford to have my own place and honestly feels unreal. I finally have a chance to be on my own, buy food when I'm hungry e.t.c.

My mom is still unemployed. My sister has recently started having psychiatric issues and struggling to find work (stress and suspected bipolar). My brother (15M) is very obstinate with regards to his academics despite my constant effort to explain our current financial situation.

I'm going to leave the moment I get my salary. I feel like a portal to freedom just spawned. Definitely will support my mom but not to the point I end up dirt broke again. I don't want the burden of responsibility if I'm being frank but also don't want to abandon anyone.

Life is about to change but isn't it always. I just wrote this to let you know you're not alone. I won't sacrifice myself and happiness but then again I don't expect you to ape me as I am not giving advice. Seeing someone going through a similar situation is oddly comforting.

I wish you all the best my internet friend

A Programmer's Introduction to Mathematics by Jeremy Kun

Just graduated from pharm school but self-taught in tech

- Computational Biology and Bioinformatics (I find it very fascinating to try and uncover how life works)

- Math (Feel like I didn't really get a hang of math early on but now realize how important and fun it can be. Currently reading A Programmer's Introduction to Mathematics)

- Machine learning & AI (Huge potential in drug discovery)

- Computer Aided Drug Discovery (Did a dissertation on this and loved it)

- Deep dive into Genomics and Genetic Engineering (I find genetics to be very similar to coding)

- Aging and Longevity research (I'm 25 but still see aging as a disease ever since I turned 18. It's why I chose to do a medical related undergraduate course. Hopefully we can better understand how aging works, and how to stop/delay it)

Strongly disagree. Both frameworks save on dev time to a very significant degree. I actually foresee better cross platform solutions being introduced in 5 years

Alzheimer's patients tend to have CAA (Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy) where beta amyloid plaques replace the smooth muscle of blood vessels in the brain. Since the drug (lecanemab) works by removing these plaques, damage to the affected blood vessels results in inflammation, swelling, hemorrhage and eventually death.

I use tree-sitter in neovim and the syntax highlighting is on par with VSCode

Reminds me of cyberpsychosis in Cyberpunk when you have excessive cybernetics/chrome

Lunarvim is a pretty solid choice and comes fully stocked with cool plugins that match most of the popular editors out there. Sometimes I even forget i'm in a terminal.

2012 MacBook Pro gang! Mines 10GB RAM though. Had to switch to neovim from VSCode and it's still sorta snappy for my normal workflow, just can't open tons of apps at the same time. Also I avoid any electron-based apps

I've been trying out Remotion to make videos in React and my mind is blown. Utilizing CSS (filters,translations,blend-modes e.t.c) has made me more proficient than I ever was in After Effects
