Definitely, it's been a crazy and inspiring journey. I'm kind of bummed it's coming to an end, it was my favorite series of his.

His Omegle 100[0] video is one of the best one yet, Harry is a legend. [0]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijVGIcVRIbk

Looks like it is, yes. A couple hours ago I was getting an error here and there, but now it doesn't load anything at all.

That's good to know. And how did the upgrade from 2.x projects go? I have got a couple of projects I want to migrate, but haven't started yet.

I personally like to use https://iconsvg.xyz/, which not only lets you pick the icon, but it also allows you to customize it.

Yeah, the sharing button thing is something I miss from the ordinary Firefox too. I usually share links with my friends through Whatsapp and its icon is hidden far to the right.

I also gave Firefox another shot a couple months ago and I'm surprised at how much better it is nowadays. It's been such a good experience I'm also giving a go to the Firefox Preview[0] on my Android - even though it's still under heavy development, I like some of the changes to the mobile browser it makes and it'll make in a near future.

Lately I have been using color.adobe[0] or palx[1] a lot.

I believe the parent meant people literally doping in the parking lot space.

Another one, even though it's not about Alex per se, but about Brad Gobright (another great climber who loves to free solo) I'd recommend watching "Safety Third". It's on vimeo[0] if anyone is interested.

Are you using Svelte for SPAs? If so, what are you using for routing?

Pretty much when I finished reading it I got the news that my old dog had died. We were kind of waiting for it already, but it still hurts.

The article timing couldn't be better. Definitely a touching piece.

This reminded me of the following quote by Stephen R. Covey: "Most people do not listen with the intent to understand; they listen with the intent to reply."

Kind of off topic, but for those interested, this reminded me of the public repo on github which has the original guidance computer source code for the command and lunar modules[0].

Oh, the irony

I'm pretty sure it's more common than it should be, really. Everytime I had to create a new project I'd have to copy/paste the webpack configs left and right. Sometimes I miss the gulp days - it was way more straight forward and not so much magic involved.

> Also I've coded a project in Angular 2 and Angular 4 respectively; I have nothing bad to say about Angular but I still prefer Vue

I have used Angular 1 professionaly for more than 3 years with some big projects and when Angular 2 was released I ditched the idea of using it in a newer project. I was using Angular 2 since the alpha days and saw how some things got over complicated. And then I too chose Vue and fell in love with it.

Great idea! I love me some newsletter too, so this should be pretty handy.

Minor nitpick: There's a type in the /about page:

> I want to change the time I recieve (->receive) my drop

Yup, me too. I think clicking both on and around the elements should show the code behind that element.

Agreed. I love Typescript and picking up Dart has been quiet easy. Of course there's much more than the language itself, but other than one detail or another, tha transition seems to be fairly easy.

Are you using an Intel or AMD processor? Looks like some Bios config are specific to Intel.

Anyone using Flutter with windows 10? It's been a pain to get the emulators to work - having to changes some Bios config and all.

> I need to go have a cup of tea. Looking at that has really shaken me.

I have had my episode of panic attack and just looking at that picture made me feel some of those bad feelings again. Really weird.

Congratulations on the release, Rich!

Minor suggestion: it should be easier to find how to get started (read install) for people trying to give Svelte a try. I had already played a bit with Svelte before but wanted to try v3 and the only thing I could find about how to install it was in https://svelte.dev/blog/the-easiest-way-to-get-started.

`npm start` works aswell

Minor thing I noticed on your site: a clean load is requesting around 425kb of data, but your /assets/img/dd-logo.ico alone weighs 362kb. Same thing happens in your new site. Maybe it's something to look into, reducing the size of it should make your site even faster.

> I spent a few months largely crippled by panic disorder

Yeah, that's kind of what happened with me too. Only that the panic attack itself was only 2 months ago; Out of freaking nowhere. I remember I was reading a piece of code and then suddenly I felt my hearting beating faster and just couldn't breathe properly; you really just feel like you're going to die - right where you are. And then, after it has passed, you are left with the anxiety of it all and all the bad thoughts. I had to take medications for high blood pressure because mine was like 16/9, and my normal is 12/8 (I'm 29 and I exercise daily).

After 2 months visiting doctors I can say I'm "normal" again, but I have to be aware of the "long fuse" thing, because that seems to be the real killer.
