I love seeing the occasional phone box in a quaint village which has been converted into a super compact library. It reminds me that community spirit and trust are alive.
Hang on, I think you’re muddying the waters here. A vegan diet is purely done for animal compassion. A vegan diet, a plant-based diet and even whole food plant-based diet are different diets.
Veganism is a lifestyle based around the notion of reducing as much harm to animals a feasibly possible. No one claims that a vegan diet is centred around health. After all, you could be vegan and eat nothing but Oreo’s and Dorito’s.
B12, Omega 3 with both (DHA and EPA), and vitamin D during the winter months.
I had some blood work done after 2 years of being vegan, largely to ensure my dietary shift hadn't caused any problems. This tested everything from cholesterol (lipid profile), iron profile, testosterone, B9 & 12, liver function, CRP and more. All markers we're either in the optimal or normal ranges. I eat reasonably well (I'm not perfect) and I try to keep processed foods - including fake meats - down to a minimum
Pattern matching was recently added to C#. I can't say quite how well it's been embedded into the language. I always hear great things about F#, ADTs, pattern matching, nice type system and it integrates nicely into the rest of the .NET ecosystem.
Elm is perfectly stable and usable. It's a shame there's not a little more communication / a wider core team working on the the parts of Elm that could reduce the friction for the average web development task.
There's Gren https://gren-lang.org/ which is a fork of Elm. Gren has nodeJS and web storage a support, along with a package manager which can install from github (iirc). I'm eagerly watching the development of this project, hopefully it can provider value and grow into a strong alternative.
I loved working with Elm. It forced me to grow as a developer and appreciate all the benefits advantages that comes with a pure functional programming language. I truly hope Evan can start to win back the lost mindshare.
They are choosing TypeScript, they're opting into type checking with JSDoc and tsc. For a brand new code base, you could argue that it would make sense to jump in and write TypeScript, but JSDoc and tsc will get them most of the benefits. It's almost a non-issue.
This was the same situation for the UEFA Women’s Euros in England this year.
For those wondering, the app was simply for storing, transferring, and displaying your tickets. A ticket being a QR code for you to scan at the stadium turnstiles.
Was the app required? Absolutely not, there was nothing specific that the mobile app could do that a simple website couldn’t (apart from the screen brightness jumping to 100% when displaying the QR code). I’m sure even a printed QR code would of sufficed.
Both UEFA and FIFA should reconsider their approach to ticketing.
Just shy of 500 GBP a year for myself via Bupa. That includes a fairly compressive policy excluding dental. Family are all fallback to the NHS (sorry family).
