Dipping Toes Into Programming

I'd like to substitute Honey for something else more healthy... yeah it's better than added sugar, but still... it's "sugar".

I could probably make up for that weight with 100g more of other ingredients, and more water. But it wouldn't be as sweet. it's such a tasty recipe as-is though.

Nobody wants to eat healthy food that tastes like .

Honey is a whole different thing than processed sugar. Yes, you can't go crazy with it, but it's so much better than sugar.

Some editors handle the TODO's very well when prefixed like this:
//TODO: whatever ...
/TODO: whatever .../
Thay way you can have a look of all of your pending stuff in one place

The editor in the picture is PhpStorm

That's pretty neat.

Any idea if VSCode can do that? Can't look right now.

There's an extension for it.

VSCode can do just about anything. It's the best development environment out there right now, IMHO.

R and Python are joining forces, in the most ambitious crossover event of the year—for programmers

Relavant now that I'm doing a course in Python

Not bad news, but honestly, I can not stand R language

R is really meant for math, using it for programming or running anything else is painful because it's not designed to do anything else.

And still I prefer matlab/octave
