I'm a professional software engineer, I do it enough day to day.
If anyone is interested in reading about Nutritional density to find out what foods have the highest nutrient count per calorie, check out: https://kale.world
I'm chuckling a bit though. "Nutrients per calorie" is a fantastic metric, but then I got to wondering... "How much spinach is necessary to reach 200 cal?" http://www.caloriegallery.com/foods/calories-in-spinach.htm suggests that it'd be 870g! Almost 2lb! That's a lot of spinach to eat.
So is the ultimate goal to be able to put together daily meal plans that ensure you hit all your micro requirements?
Yes 2 LBS of spinach is a lot. At costco they sell those 2.5 lb bags and their pretty big. But, keep in mind, if you boil it down in a big pot, 1 lb of spinach isn't so insurmountable, as the spinach becomes really small: best of all it only takes a minute of cooking.
For those interested, this is a JS/React project.
The app is an open-source version of Alfred built on top of Electron/React -- https://github.com/vutran/dext
While it's very difficult at the moment to work on the app itself, I decided to just extract the search component to be reused elsewhere so I've started building Omnibar (https://github.com/vutran/omnibar).
It's also fun to make use of new technologies I don't get to play with at work like webrtc,react native, node etc

Then there's this write-up of someone replacing rethinkdb with postgres for live queries - (including a link to some code)

Have you any plans already of how you will go about this?
subscribe ('SELECT * FROM tableA', callback)
Notes are stored in dropbox as plain text files. The app itself is basically just a markdown editor with a file tree, autosave and a list of recent files.
I'm currently playing around with various display modes for content, so if it sees a list it will render checkboxes which can be tapped to mark an item as ~complete~
My philosophy is that everything should be 100% open on the platform so you can just walk away with your data with minimal effort. FlatNote files will always be readable as markdown by any other app with no 'export' required
This would allow for caching or synchronization in a distributed application to happen in memory on an app server instead of always going back to the database or Redis.
I'm also working on a new landing page!
Our first feature story is an article and podcast interview about the Christmas tree store popup business.
We are working on several feature stories about "summer businesses" that people like school teachers start and run during summer holiday months before going back to their "real" job in September.
Any suggestions welcome.
It's not nearly done enough for its own HN post yet, but it's coming together slowly. Still working on the standard library and documentation.
Been working really hard lately so it’s time to recharge and read a couple books.
My plan is to implement my own version of a neopixel driver to learn VHDL.
