We need to start this by opening up the shell and then typing the following code:Ĭreating a node.js application scaffold using npm init Now that we have what we need to create a node.js application, let’s go ahead and create a new node.js application. ![]() Creating a new Node.js application The boilerplate and scaffold for a node.js application I recommend getting the highest versions (node.js v6.2.1 and npm v3.9.3 as of writing). Type npm -version to get the version of the npm installed. ![]() Open your command prompt, and type node -v and press Enter. Let’s just make sure the versions are up to date. If you already have node.js installed, you likely have the npm installed too. If you don’t have node.js installed, head to the Node.js Downloads page and download and run the respective installer. Prerequisite: Node.js and Node Package Manager (NPM) The javascript runtime and the package manager used by CycleJS Once you have it installed, it’s time to move ahead to the next step. So we are going to work with Visual Studio Code for this project. I love what Microsoft is trying to do for the open source and cross platform world.NET Core was one thing, and Visual Studio Code is another. It is also customizable, so users can change the editor’s theme, keyboard shortcuts, and preferences. It is free and open-source, and includes support for debugging, embedded Git control, syntax highlighting, intelligent code completion, snippets, and code refactoring. Visual Studio Code is a source code editor developed by Microsoft for Windows, Linux and OS X. Prerequisite: Visual Studio Code The open source, cross-platform code editor from Microsoft This means Command Prompt on Windows, Terminal on MacOS, and Bash on Linux-based systems. NOTE: Since most of the tooling and platform used are cross-platform, I will be referring to the “ shell” often. Cycle.js quickly caught my eye as I was going through material about Redux’s prior art. I wish to make it clear that I am extremely interested in new technologies, libraries, paradigms, and patterns. ![]() Cycle.js Quick Start with Node.js, Babel, and Browserify in Visual Studio Code

Being left alone with only his thoughts to ponder is a terrifying cumbersome thing, as sleep has never come easily to him, and his airways have taken a liking to irritating him whenever he does think of lying down, even if it’s just to retrieve something from under a piece of furniture. It’s very much nothing new.īesides, all-nighters are good for him. It’s nothing determination, coffee and pills can’t fix. It comes with staying up for long hours, brainstorming, wondering where the next Stand user will be, what their abilities are. That explains the ache that pulse in his head and makes it so difficult to focus. It’s probably eye strain from staring at black-on-white for too long in a day. There’s a pressure behind his eyes that won’t go away. (Rohan doesn’t stop to wonder why articulating a question has been so hard, lately). What did he need to do with that information, already? Why is this investigation so difficult? Kira truly is an elusive monster roaming in the shadows, just out of view. Kawajiri Kosaku sounds like the likeliest candidate to have bitten the dust. More faces that means, probably, nothing. And the kid that was following his own father, suspicious, armed with a camera. What was he thinking of again? Right, Kira – how to stop him, how to find him, where he is, who he’s pretending to be now. If he bites the bait, he’ll sink his teeth up the line and up the rod, even if by the end his mouth is coated in blood). It’s either everything or nothing with him. ![]() ![]() (That might be an issue, because Rohan has no sense of half-measure. His manga is on hiatus because of Kira (injuries? Pah, those are an excuse for the weak-willed, and Rohan isn’t weak-willed), but he still draws chapters because having a backlog is always a good thing, and sometimes, it makes him think of something that furthers the investigation for a crazed serial killer – be it a lead to dig deeper into or a place where he might not have gone to observe and take pictures in, everything is worth looking into. (Along the way, Rohan forgets to question why he’d even have the heating on in the midst of summer to begin with). He has to call for a repairman one of these days – but God knows he doesn’t want to deal with that at the moment, so he shoves it aside, thinks of stopping Kira instead. It suffocates him so suddenly, it manages to catch him off guard, and it makes him skip his line when inking or slip a finger on a picture that has trouble sticking to the paper of the album in front of him, causing it to fall, and it’s more tiring than anything. There is no other rational explanation for why the air flip-flops between cold and, at times, for a moment, blisteringly hot on his skin. It simply refuses to most of the time, leaving him to shiver in the cold and when it does, it’s like it must catch up to all of the heat it’s forgotten to make in the past hours or so. Rohan’s heating is broken – or, well, you could argue with semantics and say it’s dysfunctional, not “broken”, since it does work at times, when it wants to, kind of like its owner and wanting to work alongside other people. ![]() ![]() Since then, we’ve gone into a slack period in the “thinking about money” department. (Of course, we’ve started little businesses and done smaller side work since then, but that was for reasons other than earning an income to live on). So the years passed and the lines on the spreadsheet went up, and when they were high enough to pay for expenses with passive income, we quit our jobs and declared ourselves retired. In reality it does not happen, of course, but the mindset of relentlessly thinking over every single purchase and trying to optimize it away is the thing that lets you develop your Frugality Muscle over time. With tracking, your goal is NO waste, so you challenge yourself to cut every category, except eating, to zero. With a budget, you allow yourself certain quantities of waste and try to stay within them. When you’re shooting for financial independence, I really like the “track your spending” method better than the “budgeting” method. maybe I don’t really NEED to throw this extra bottle of wine into the grocery cart – I’ll save a few bucks and go on an alcohol-free health kick this week, and go for a new record in low spending this month”. My feeling on the matter was, “Well, since I am spending much less than I earn, what’s the point of using a budget – I already know there will be no shortage!” The thing I was missing is that you should still know how much you are spending, because that tells you how much income your investments will need to start providing once you start your early retirement.Īnd as soon as you start tracking your spending, even the most hardcore frugalist will suddenly gain extra motivation to optimize it. ![]() We felt pretty frugal overall and thus had never used a budget of any sort. We also started to have a look at our spending. Dividends and appreciation on stocks and real estate are usually small percentages, but when multiplied across large numbers, they start to surprise you. It became quite exciting when we noticed that the ‘stash itself would often produce more income than we did with our work. The spreadsheet grew fancier over time, adding graphs, goals, and historical snapshots. So every weekend, we’d log into our separate Vanguard accounts and compare notes.Īs this simple thrill wore off, we started a spreadsheet called “Net Worth” that automatically tracked the stock holdings in Vanguard and other accounts, as well as any cash in the bank and the value of our primary and rental houses. and I started to become more interested in watching the progress of our early retirement savings project. Way back in our working and saving days (which peaked between 2000-2005), the Mrs. ![]() You must have the latest Garmin Connect app update to view the Badge Challenges.
