Python concurrency has a super bad wrap (the gil) and I'm trying to help out even change opinions (e.g. work with it rather than throw it all out). I write short focused how-to ebooks that on the different Python concurrency APIs in stdlib. Content marketing leads to email marketing to one-off sales. Doing about $2K/mo. Might expand into third party libs this year. https://SuperFastPython.com

Just wanted to say thanks for your work on SuperFastPython - it helped me out a bunch at work recently (new to Python concurrency) - and also for your previous work at MachineLearningMastery (helped me out with a university project a few years back).

You're very welcome, I'm happy to hear that! Thank you for the kind words and support. Message/email me any time if you ever have any questions, I'm eager to help.

Great job! How did you convince users to trust an unknown site to store their personal data? This is one the things holding me back from implementing my side project ideas. I personally know that I won’t misuse users data but how do I really convince users.

People just don't care about their data...

Ding, ding, ding! This is correct. I was just ranting to my wife about this. Haha.

I always wonder, “How are these random companies able to convince folks to just give them personal data like that?” And of course, I already know the answer: Practically speaking, most folks don’t give a damn about their data! That’s unfortunate. (Well, not so unfortunate for the companies collecting all of it and their data brokers!)

Awesome work! Would you mind sharing? I live in Mexico City and would love to try horse back riding.

Sure. We're in Vallarta if you ever make it out this way. :) https://ranchoelcharro.com Obligatory disclosure: some semblance of ownership.

FYI, https://www.ranchoelcharro.com/mountain-waterfall-horseback-... says "$129" at the top but "$139" at the bottom.

I started selling NSFW stickers on Etsy. Originally it was a way for me to have a creative outlet but turns out a lot of people want this kind of product. Making just about $500 a month from it now. It’s great because all I have to do is draw the original art once and then I can just repeatedly print it and cut it out. It’s also a very relaxing hobby for me. I enjoy sending out envelopes with hand written notes. It’s…

Got a link for us?

For example Synthetix SNX is paying like 30% right now https://staking.synthetix.io/ Then take the minted SUSD and put into Curve for 8% https://optimism.curve.fi/factory/0 Then take the OP minted and put into XTK pool for another 60% https://app.xtokenterminal.io/mining/pools/optimism/0xDa62d1... This in general is known as yield farming

And it's risk-free!!

This is the land of software engineers, risk takers, and gray areas. Never put in what you can't lose, and diversify. You aren't getting these insane APYs risk-free - this is kooki stuff. But if you want to dabble, it's quite interesting.

I built Tax Loss Harvesting Tool for different kinds of portfolios. Despite still being in the early stages, I'm gaining some interesting traction so far! I was badly hit in the recent market downturn because I had invested in leveraged ETFs without a deep understanding of how they function. But I still have faith in securities in the ETFs so I decided to see if it was possible to swap securities in order to harvest losses without triggering the Wash Sale. And, Lo and Behold, for 2330 ETFs, I found 1.2+M possible combinations.

A long time ago, I made some Flash games. I recently converted some of them away from Flash and released them together as a desktop game for modern computers. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1458090/Hapland_Trilogy/ I am currently making more than $500 a month from this, although I don't necessarily expect that to continue. Games are a crowded market. It was a fun project, though.

Wanted to join the chorus of nostalgic thank yous! I played the original for hours with my buddies on library computers in grade school. Definitely some core memories. Thanks!

I built https://team-today.com in a lock down as a way for my remote team to see when people are on holiday, going to site, or wfh. Since then it’s grown to include other features like desk booking and PTO approvals. But at it’s all been built around the core concept of seeing when your colleagues are working and where they’re planning on working from.

This looks like a great product, Andrew! Congrats — I wish you all the best.

https://FreeSolitaire.win brings around $500/mo (advertising revenue). I started making this PWA in 2016 and I’ve been slowly adding to it over time. I intend it to stay minimal & lightweight. No framework, etc. Fun fact: because it is so lightweight, it was included in the Moya app ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nu.bi.moya ), a popular messaging app in South Africa that is “data-free” for users (it…

Nice work. Is there a way to share games? Like "I just finished #3181 in 96 moves, can you do better?"
