Made a simple word game: https://wordwheel-pied.vercel.app/
And went to a fun climate-themed hackathon, would like to make that a regular thing.

#452I’m working on an Anki Addon that streamlines the hell out of the card generation process using LLMs. You can define a schema of prompts for your note type & fields, where each prompt can reference other fields, and use it to generate things like translations, example sentences, mnemonics, for tens of thousands of cards in batches or in the fly as they’re reviewed. These generated fields can reference other generated…
This is amazing.

#453my wife and I have a new side project: we're opening a bookshop! the last local store is closing due to retirement and we figure the community demand is still there. we're negotiating the lease, sorting out how to order a lot of bookshelves, and source the initial inventory. i'm currently figuring out how to connect our point of sale system to our accounting software. good times. :)
>sorting out how to order a lot of bookshelves I've heard that IKEA "Billy" bookshelves are very popular, including among people who heavily customize them into creations that look nothing like the original.
Or, why not buy them from the shop that's closing? Or buy the whole business?

#454After working for more than 2 years as a frontend engineer, I recently started doing full-stack and the org is using Go so I had to learn that, have kept all my learning in one place - https://github.com/hsnice16/golang_learning
Also, I completed a few AWS-related tasks right after starting full-stack. I have written blogs mentioning what I did to help others.
Lambda function to access RDS, S3. And, Eventbridge in AWS - https://hsnice16.medium.com/lambda-function-to-access-rds-s3...
Use private AWS Aurora with DBeaver using SSH tunneling - https://hsnice16.medium.com/use-private-aws-aurora-with-dbea...
Build and Push the docker image on AWS ECR using GitHub actions - https://hsnice16.medium.com/build-and-push-the-docker-image-...
There is one more blog that I have found, that has helped a lot of folks.
Write your own Telegram Wallet bot - https://hsnice16.medium.com/write-your-own-telegram-wallet-b...
I also created a KPI card component that I listed on Gumroad, but sadly it was a flop idea. https://hsnice.gumroad.com/l/pdnbo
And, in the last GitHub streak is coming back - https://github.com/hsnice16 (POV, your org has added your personal GitHub username in the repo)

#455Building algorithmic trading models. So far results continue to be good with every model outperforming the market on both absolute and risk-adjusted basis since going live. Since launching https://grizzlybulls.com in January 2022: Model | Return | Max drawdown ------------------- S&P 500 (benchmark) | 21.51% | -27.56% VIX TA Macro MP Extreme | 64.21% | -16.48% VIX TA Macro Advanced| 59.13% | -19.12% VIX TA Advanced |…
The models use a variety of indicators, many of them custom built
Do you run it with good volumes or are these returns “as if”?

#456I wish I was working on something. How is it that I can’t think of anything? My mind goes blank. Maybe it’s a side effect of being burnt out from my job.

#457I am working on Buckaroo[1] - the data table for jupyter/dataframes that I have always wanted. Buckaroo combines a performant table capable of scrolling through 1000s of rows, with summary stats and histograms. All configurable and extensible by users. never type df.head() again. give it a try, I'm eager to hear feedback.
Recently I have been working on the low-code UI. I find myself looking up and typing the same pandas (and polars) incantations over and over again to explore and modify data. The low-code UI allows simple transforms of data (search, remove column outliers, show only outliers of a column, group by) to be perfromed with just clicks. You can also view the generated python code. This is powered by a json-flavored lisp interpreter, but users never have to type lisp code.

#458Lately I've been working on GitGuard (https://gitguard.dev/) which is a flexible way to write approval rules / workflows for your GitHub PRs. Think GitHub's branch protections but with the power of a toy programming language.
Also my long-term project (4 years or so) has been CodeApprove (https://codeapprove.com/) which is a much better code review UI for teams on GitHub.
So, yeah, I am pretty into making GitHub better for teams!

Where/how did you learn welding? Have been considering doing a community college welding course (as they have all the equipment, instruction, etc.).
MIG is really just a glue gun for metal. For things where structural integrity isn’t critical you MIG stuff together by watching a couple YouTube videos and then going at it.
(note that of course mig can be great for structural things, it's just easy to get started)
