Someone I love dearly passed two weeks ago from this awful cancer. She was on a trial for this drug, but it was ineffective, sadly. I can't stop crying. This is a horrible disease and I am so glad there are developments being made in t

I wish I could quit working. It is hell. Employers DGAF about people, so why should we care about them?

An offline-first app to make life a little easier for someone I love and her caregiver. She's been diagnosed with stage 3 pancreatic cancer and food has been a bit of a nightmare for her. Her partner is also not very skilled with cooki

I am sorry for your loss... Someone I love was also on this drug and it wasn't effective. I hope it helps some people, this is an awful disease.

this drug was ineffective for my loved one, sadly. Hope it helps others.

I'm sorry your mom had to suffer like that :( My loved one really wants to live, and I suppose some people are at different stages of mind with this horrible disease. I wouldn't want to extend suffering too, but if the patient wan

I hope they can get this to people quickly. Someone I love has been diagnosed with stage 3 end of Feb this year and it's utter hell. For everyone, not just the patient.

Same sentiment from me. I'd rather pay more and eat the real thing.

I'm not yet financially comfortable, but once I am, this is definitely how I see my life going. I love my work, but I don't love the job, I've gotten burned out too many times. For people who want some more freedom with their

Same. I hate the 9-5. It's soul-crushing for me. This is right up my alley!

I wish I did, what a great response.

I think I was a bit vague and blunt with my comment, and I agree with what you say here 100% For me lifestyle changes weren't easy and as simple as "lifestyle changes". Lifestyle changes involved huge amounts of willpower, an

It really puzzles me how people would just pop a pill instead of make some lifestyle changes. Maybe it's just my personality type, but it disturbs me how most people just want something quick and easy instead of doing the actual work a

heck, I'm sitting in a team with a code base so full of slop that was written by humans, the AI can't even fix it and I'm burned out from trying to make it better. and I get told to be quiet about code standards because the t

omg. this is what it's currently like at work. and i was told not to bring up coding standards in retrospectives. yes, i am salty AF about this. i'm dying inside.

This is cool! I am getting back into Python programming after having to work with Angular (with a code base that's a spaghetti mess of poorly used TypeScript), and doing little toy projects like this helps tremendously with bringing ba

I'm building a PyQt6 desktop app to create XML sitemaps for website maintainers such as myself. I got annoyed with the free online tools that are available, and also want to play with building desktop apps with Qt, and improve my Pytho

It's the upkeep problem that is a problem in South Africa. It's like government doesn't understand the concept of "maintenance"

by chilldsgn 1y ago
Yup... It's about feeding the greedy fat cats at the top. A simple solution like "just install solar" isn't going to solve the problems necessarily, because it originates from greed, mismanagement, corruption at the core

by chilldsgn 1y ago
Yup, it is deeply political, and I think ordinary citizens such as myself don't even understand how deep the corruption goes.

I don't know much about electrical grids, but I'm wondering if something like this concept could help South Africa with its endlessly struggling electrical grid problems. My city constantly has power outages and the majority of pe

I agree with you. I understand it's incredibly challenging to implement regional pricing, especially if your company is based in a 1st world country, and dependencies are also priced for 1st world countries.

I'd pay the price of a coffee, would gladly give up one cup a month for this. That's about the equivalent of $2.50

by chilldsgn 1y ago
I've been on the free tier for a short time and really liking it. I just can't justify paying at least $5 a month (I live in South Africa) for this, so not switching to paid yet. It's just a bit too much with our exchange rat

Yep. I find it easier to understand German verbally than Dutch. I struggle when Dutch people speak to me, the way they pronounce words are hard on my ears. German feels softer.

I feel the same about Afrikaans, ugly and harsh as hell :D

by chilldsgn 1y ago
I absolutely love German, it is one of my favourite languages, there's such beauty in it. I am not a native speaker, but enjoy studying it. I am a native Afrikaans speaker and I see so many similarities between the two, which I find in

Yup. I've been advocating for leaner software to make maintainability easier, which can help prevent developer burnout (I've been there twice in 365 days). My overall health suffered because of dealing with bloated software. Havin
