Asking how to learn design seems to be common here, yet no one here has taken the time to seize this opportunity and actually build something that aids developers to learn how to design for the web.
First of all, stay away from Bootstrap. Learn the basics first then get yourself familiar with Photoshop. You can learn the basics by reading books like "The non-designer's design book", "Design Basics" or something similar.
Then go pick out well designed websites and try to recreate it with Photoshop. You can use Dribbble for this. Try to pay attention to every pixel and recreate it exactly as you see it, or it'll most likely end up ugly. After a while you can try to add your own stuff onto it.
After doing this for some time, you'll have learned how to do simple stuff with Photoshop, you'll have learned what kind of layouts each type of website uses and you'll be able to use these layouts for your own projects. You'll learn how to effectively apply subtle effects and much more.
Basically, the fastest way to become good at design is to copy other people's design.
Also, remember that anything you design at first will probably look ugly, but you need to keep tweaking it until you find something that looks good.
This way your designing process is limited to your HTML/CSS skills, while the point of being being good designer is to have no limits(except imagination)
I've had several black spots that float around in my vision for over a year now. Is that a sign of retinal detachment? I visited the doctor and he said eye floaters were normal and people with myopia were prone to getting eye floaters.
My understanding is floaters are quite common and many in the population suffer from them. I've had them for a few years, I visited my optician and he said not to worry, and he could actually 'see' the floaters when he looked at my eye (it's litereally bit of debris floating about in there) so he knew it wasn't anything serious like a retinal tear. He said only if there is a rapid increase in them should I seek emergency medical assistance.
I think it's like many symptoms; the first time you should certainly seek a medical check ASAP to ensure it's not a symptom of a more serious underlying cause; but it should be cause for serious worry. I don't think you can walk around with retinal detachment for a year.
You are correct: Floaters are normal. Fixed spots are not. Floaters, well they float. You can easily see the difference when you look left and quickly look right. Floaters keep moving a bit because of the motion. Try it in front of a clear blue sky or white wall for best results.
Floaters can be a real annoyance. I managed to damage my right eye from over focusing four months ago. I now have a brown floater that takes up about 5% of the right eye's vision. Fortunately it doesn't settle directly in my line of focus, but manages to swing by when I shift my vision. Very distracting. It becomes very noticeable in daylight, as it appears that there are many fine threads connected to it that span the lower quarter of my vision.
Wow, I get this, but very minor (the bits are mostly transparent and really small, but I can see them looking at the sky). I didn't know for sure whether they were physical objects or something in my mind, but they way they moved made me think they must be physical. Good to know that's actually a thing!
They're often just very small dust particles and minor variations in the thickness of the fluid coating the cornea as well. Those would be the ones that seem to float gently downward (sometimes almost forcing you to try to follow them, which is, of course, impossible) but which tend to reestablish their position after every blink. Annoying, but that's all.
IIRC the really small white ones that you see when looking up at a blue sky are actually white blood cells in the arteries on the inner surface of your eyeball.
There are also distortions that can seem cataracts like when you wake up. That's just a residue/film on your eye that gets rehydrated and cleaned up as you wake up, it's not a cataract.
No, not a detached retina, but get them checked. The first time I had a "floater" was last March. Luckily, I had it checked out. Some blood vessels in the back of my eye were leaking and it was serious enough to require laser surgery. Like someone else said, get them checked the first time and/or if they get worse.
The conclusion that life is meaningless, is meaningless as well. That means you can live life however you want, without bearing much importance to that conclusion.
