@tslint: Type trivally inferred from a literal

Dear TypeScript... My thoughts on this directive about no-inferrable-types has made me realize something: it doesn't serve me and I'm going to show why: export class TransactionsListComponent { addOnBlur = true; readonly separatorKeysCodes = [ENTER, COMMA] as const; #transactions: Transactions; @Input() get transactions(): Transactions { return this.#transactions; } set transactions(value: Transactions) { this.#transactions = value; this.refresh(); } @Output() transactionsChange = new EventEmitter<Transactions>(); @Input() showFilters: boolean; @Input() filters: TransactionFilter; @Output() filtersChange = new EventEmitter<TransactionFilter>(); @Input() showPaginate: boolean; @Input() txShow?: TransactionShowHeaders; @Input() editable: boolean; @Input() showHeader: boolean; @Input() showTags: boolean; currentlyEditing: EditPlaceholder; txns: Transactions; accou...

Choices

Image
I can guarantee that each and every one of you are exactly where you are in life because of your actions, your decisions and choices in life. We are all given a choice in life in every one of our actions. To choose pain or to choose solutions. To complain or to take action. To chooses collectively or as individuals. To chooses preservation vs destruction. To choose to procrastinate or to eat the tadpole. To love or to hate or to hold in apathy. To live in your head or in this world or one co-constructed as a result of both. Your belief system creates your reality. You receive what you put out. You will only receive what you give. Knowing this.... Why do you make the choices you do? Why do you continue in the way you do? This is not for you to answer to me, but for you to answer and to know for yourself.  I see lots of boomer and Gen X punch lines talking about how screwed up stuff is, but I see little action being done to change it. It makes for a cute post, but in the grand scheme...

Raising a Daddy

Image
Having a daddy sometimes is like raising a kid. I've met my fair share of 50 and 60 year old 5 and 6 year olds. There are plenty of people out there who simply have not taken the time to ponder and learn about The Self and as a result are the younger seeming versions of themsevles despite their bodies senescing (or the act of aging). Childlike State of Permanence There are many people who interpret their current state of being to be the entire definition of the universe ever. They seem to completely lose the context of the fact that they have lived longer than the last hour of the day. They have zero memory of the past unless you ask about it. Even then, it's associated with things done and seen rather than felt or experienced. This is not a "person" it is a "state of being" in that we all have moments where we don't think rationally. I would like to say that you reach a point where those emotions never bother you any longer, but that depends on how you ...

What Are You Looking For?

Image
 What I want and look for in this world is that everyone find their happiness. And no, I'm not talking about the $300,000 a year paycheck, or the fancy $1 million dollar home, nor the token couple of parents see you may be able to post about on instagram. I'm talking about that "I have what I need" happiness. "My immediate needs are taken care of and I have the possibility to pursue what I want in life" happiness. The kind of friendship shared over years and knowing someone has your back happiness. I want everyone to find their love as well. And I'm not talking about that stuff you're doing a bedroom or a dark alley, no.. I'm talking about that basic form of I give a shit about you, I care about your being, I care about your health, your happiness, your needs, your rights and I want all of those boxes checked not some of them and that is non-negotiable thank you very much -- kind of love. I want everyone to find that I forgive you past and future...

Attention Spans

Image
There are people that see the things that I write. There are people that see the amount of writing that I make, and when I see them in public they look at me and they say "man, that was a lot of writing mark, I don't think I could read it all." To that I reply: well heaven forbid you have an attention span greater than a goldfish and could possibly stand to read more than three sentences. Heaven forbid you get the brain capacity to think with that brilliant mind on your shoulders and use it to your greatest advantage. Because it would be so illegal to think, reflect, realize and grow... You, who have grown up and are all adult now, so that means you're exempt from learning? Meaning you have all the answers to the universe and everything in it? Now that you've gone to school, you're done learning, right?? The goobermint is full of idiots and you're contributing to this, how? By thumbing thru apps in your free time and making yourself stupid with the idiot b...

Feeling of Longing

Image
What is suicide to me and why is this something I'm suddenly making visible? It's to make the fight I face in the dark to the light. To bring the pain forth so it can be felt and dealt with accordingly. Preface Let me first preface with this: I have never shared these feelings, thoughts or other very close personal details before in my life. I do not cry "suicide" to get attention. If I wanted that, there are more effective ways to draw attention. If I were to draw attention, it would not be to me, but your own internal stigmas against it. If reading this you immediately had an emotional gut response to "save me", then keep reading. I have more juicy insights for you. Coming from someone who lingers and lurks at the edge of existence nearly daily, I want to share some insights from my perspective that might help you see and understand better. I am NOT saying my words are all that matter. I am merely sharing my perspective and my experiences with this feeling...

Yaba-2.0 Architecture

Image
Yaba-2.0 is still in the works. This will come with an overhaul of the platform. I will still maintain yaba.markizano.net as a public interface to the app for you to be able to "try it before you buy it". However, I am going to expand on how the architecture will lay out with regards to a self-managed vs a hosted version of this application. Ideas keep coming on how I can manage this and I am so excited to share my designs with you and get your feedback on the direction being taken. This is still something we can construct together and build a team behind the project if it becomes useful. Yaba Recap If you're completely new to the project, welcome! Yaba is Yet Another Budgeting App. I got sick and tired of downloading CSV files from all my banks and managing them in complex Excel books just to be able to visualize my data around my spending so I can budget more efficiently. I built Yaba as a means of organizing my transactions in a way that's different than m...
