I'm getting a really smooth animation with anything <1,000,000 particles. Very cool to see what can be done with vanilla JS and canvas.

The top quintile makes $200k per year in income on average. Even these households would be stretched thin to afford a $2M home.

From what I hear, most younger people in Canada can only afford a home with the help of gifts from parents.

This is really cool, thanks for sharing. I’m getting glitchy cyberpunk vibes from this.

If I was against VC funded businesses in principle and did not strongly believe in the core idea, I’d pass on the opportunity.

That being said, I’d consider it if the comp offer was extremely compelling

This makes the process less manual, but it still remains a absolute clusterfuck needing to reboot ~1 billion computers.

FYI — your title has a typo. Should be HN instead of HW

This is fun. Nice project and well done!

Looks very good. I would like to see some specific info about managing money in France (reducing taxes, our retirement accounts / pension), but I understand that is a lot to ask for.

Looks promising. Does this sheet calculate both money-weighted returns and time-weighted returns?

I struggle with the same problem. My strategy is to wake up early and get at least 10 minutes of creative productivity done in the morning.

Sometimes this is just 10 minutes and I move on.

Sometimes I get in the flow and work for a few hours.

I tell myself to embrace my mediocrity and just produce, in spite of the fact that this probably isn’t the best piece of work out there.

As long as I actually do a bit everyday (writing, coding a side project) I’m satisfied.

As a semi-related aside, one of my favorite poems is by Charles Bukowski. Try not to fall into the trap of “Air, Light, Time, and Space”: https://wordsfortheyear.com/2014/10/15/air-and-light-and-tim...

Good luck!

Those services are down for me in HK

This “ban” would only apply if both the employer and employee agree to the terms.

Seems like a reasonable position.

This issue can be discussed at the time of recruiting / hiring. Reasonable working hours and “off limit” hours can be agreed upon and should be respected.

Very good read. However, the chess example about the Tata Steel tournament is incorrect.

The prediction chart shown was not based on guesses from grandmasters. It was simply the implied probability of each player winning based on their relative Elo ratings, their current tournament standing, and upcoming pairings.

Essentially it was a Monte Carlo simulation of the tournament, which was updated after each round by the author on reddit.

Doesn’t impact the validity and strength of this article, but just wanted to point that out.

“ Funny how choosing a side project casually turns into existential crisis.”

It’s the paradox of choice. Sometimes we just need to turn off our brains and simply do.

Similar business model to short sellers who take a short position on a stock before publishing their “investigative” report on fishy financials, fraud, etc.
