They can't be too out of whack, but they can vary.

I did the same thing a few years ago! My fireflies didn't move around though. https://www.michaelfogleman.com/static/fireflies/

I learn as I go, as needed to get done whatever I'm trying to accomplish. Some projects require a significant amount of "learning" while others may require almost none. No TV really. I do read books sometimes. Most recently:

I've obviously thought about that a lot, but I'm not very business-minded. I have a few Mac apps on the App Store that generate some revenue. Perhaps most potential money-generators don't strike me as intellectually interesti

I haven't, but briefly: I wanted to increase exposure to my projects, in a way that didn't require clicking each project to see what it is. I wish GitHub was better at this, somehow. I actually researched other people's perso

That's funny, because I often feel like most of my creations are just copying some other idea.

Well, what are you interested in?

Go is way faster than Python. Go's design meshes well with my ideals, so for me it's a joy to use.

I work serially - one thing at a time, with intense focus. If I'm doing a woodworking project, I'm not programming. All of my free time goes to the current project, basically. In between projects I feel bored and unproductive and

I used Flask and Frozen-Flask for this. So I can run it locally and use some admin forms to add/edit projects and then freeze it into a bunch of static files. Then deployment is straightforward. Pretty happy with how it turned out, I&#

Hello HN. I revamped my website to better highlight my side projects and wanted to share it with you. I was going to make this a "Show HN" but the rules say it must be something you can "try out." Not sure you can "

Amazing work. What inspired / motivated you to create this?

This came in very handy for me on one of my side projects, specifically finding intersections between curves. Excellent content.

Nah that ain't me. I rarely comment on such matters actually. Like you said Go and Python serve quite different purposes and each do their jobs well. I use both on a regular basis and I've been using Python for over a decade. But

I'll say it. Python 2: Stability. Python 3: Feature creep. I've been doing a lot of Go lately and hugely appreciate the minimal syntax and orthogonal features. Seems like the opposite is happening not just in Python but many langu

If all you have is a form, what am I paying for?

Ditto. I remember looking at Pathfinder images on a computer in the town library in 1997. I was in 10th grade.

Back and forth discussions are not the primary use of Twitter. I had a hard time with that for years too before I finally "figured it out." You just need to follow a lot of people who share your interests and then your timeline wi

Haha, that's awesome, thanks for sharing the story.
