Does my Multi-lingual Dream IDE Exist?

I want to code in golang while leveraging libs written in python, javascript, and c.  Is there an IDE where I can debug set breakpoints in all the languages. Set the log level once and the ide propagates that level to all the libs/languages. Use intellisense and jump to declarations, see completion options from all the relevant languages. Manage import of packages across all 4 languages. Get help managing the most direct language bindings between  golang and the other languages. By the way, if this existed a couple years ago there would be no need for TypeScript or the other statically typed meta-Javascripts. You could just use the existing typed languages and binding seamlessly with existing javascript libs.

Yes I'm reading parenting articles quite pre-emptively. I liked this one

It seems like modern parenting is an exhausting pain in the ass.  Somehow the task has become more difficult not less even with technology to help us do everything.   By the way, why are there still not washing machines for babies.  How has this been overlooked.  There are enough engineering couples who have tied the knot and started a family.  There's no excuse for this to not exist yet. https://www.romper.com/p/i-tried-minimalist-parenting-for-a-week-it-was-a-total-game-changer-74237 Romper Home Flowcharts News Moms Unfiltered Pregnancy Sex & Relationships Baby Toddler Kid Health Entertainment Motherhood Food Fashion & Beauty Company About Contact Terms Privacy Courtesy of goodmoments/Fotolia I Tried Minimalist Parenting For A Week, & It Was A Total Game Changer By  Ambrosia Brody 4 days ago SHARE Being present at all times with my children is an elusive goal.

It happened again.... 1000 weeks

One day when I was in college, I felt the urge to calculate how old I was in weeks and that week just happened to be 1000 weeks old.   Today. It happened again. I felt the urge to see how many weeks old I am and it comes out ~2000 weeks old: http://jalu.ch/coding/days/en?year=1979&month=3&day=11&adjust=-1 Your Age in Days Find out your age in days, weeks or months Birth date: 1979-03-11 (Mar 11) Today's date: 2017-07-08 (Jul 8) You are 13999 days old. Which is 1999 weeks and 6 days. That's 38 years and 119 days, including 10 leap days, or 38 years, 17 weeks and 0 days. In other words, that's 459.9 months. Therefore, you are 38.326 years old.

Best Electric Skateboard 2017 - (May 2017)

I saw one of these going uphill in San Fran recently, and realized this was the future of urban commutes.  Before seeing this skateboard,  I was following the evolution of ebikes but here's why I think e-skateboards could dominate: 1. Bikes are horrible at rush-hour on the metro.  Skateboards are much easier to pop out of the way. 2. Using e-skateboard while wearing a skirt is probably easier than using an e-bike in a skirt. 3. If I'm too tired or too long distance, bringing a skateboard on my Lyft is far easier than my e-bike. Hopefully these features exist on the e-skateboards: Regenerative braking.  I'd love for the board to cap the downhill speed at 20 mph and use gravity to recharge the battery.   Spectra seems to have the features I expect like controlling direction and speed with shifting weight. Boosted I think is the one that keeps the motor right in the wheel .... awesome clean design and likely the most efficient.   Good job innovato...

Getting to 14% bodyfat. One burrito bowl a day.

I made a commitment recently to drop to 14% bodyfat by end of June 2017.  How far will I get if I only eat one fajita bowl a day?   I've done a bunch of different experiments in the past on food.  So far the most awesome impact diet I've done is just kill all processed sugar and flour intake for 5 months.  I felt amazing clarity and sustainable energy while fully committed, not even diet soft drinks or ketchup.  I haven't veered much from that diet in general, but during times of boredom or vacation eating I've put on 10 lbs without even realizing it until I went running and it felt uphill on flat ground. So here it goes-about 600 calories a day intake, mostly veggies and beans.   I was at 22% bodyfat in Feb 2017.  I need to get an updated DEXA scan to see where I am now ( May 2017)
