kaesve commented on Ask HN: Those making $500/month on side projects in 2025 – Show and tell · Posted by u/cvbox

kaesve · 5 days ago

My wife's Etsy shop (https://www.etsy.com/shop/LittleLanternShop) is starting to pick up. She is leaning into creating digital sewing patterns for decorative felt crafts. We have had Etsy success before with 3d printed products, but managing printers and fulfilling orders can be stressful and time consuming, and she was hoping to build up a more passive income stream. She made over $1000 in the past month, which beat both our expectations

(We'll get back into 3d printing once life slows down a _little_ bit again)

On this note, can anyone recommend basic webgl 2d effects tutorial? I have a super exciting project I'm really close to announcing, but the last step is adding some pretty Animal Well style effects via webgl2, but I know practically nothing about webgl except the very very basics that you learn from webgl2fundamentals.org. Any pointers would be appreciated.

I like https://thebookofshaders.com/ . It’s unfinished and I don’t think it’s been updated in years, but what’s there is pretty good

I am so sorry! Our immediate next priority is to get this on Linux and Windows. May I ask which OS you use so we can get it done now?

kaesve · a year ago

I'd use this on linux as soon as it's available

https://github.com/jonas/tig is one of the first things I install on a new dev machine. It's a really nice UI for staging files or hunks. Since it's just a companion to the git CLI, it feels much more focused than full-blown git GUIs, and doesn't do anything magical.

Don't forget Knuth wrote the paper on complexity of song lyrics https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/1008354.1008355

The authors get LLMs to perform pretty well in a variety of IF-style text based games. Which is pretty cool, these kinds of games are played and read in natural language, which makes them pretty hard to write AIs for normally.

Something I'd love to see one day is modern AI applied to other kinds of text based games like nethack. Last I checked nobody had managed to solve the problem of nethack AI without using hard coded heuristics and goals!

There's https://arxiv.org/abs/2310.00166, which uses an LLM for intrinsic rewards for a RL agent. They use it on nethack. It was discussed on the TalkRL podcast: https://www.talkrl.com/episodes/pierluca-doro-and-martin-kli...

neat! I've wanted to add irregular grids to my infinite minesweeper. Playing your version, it definitely adds something. How do you generate your grid? Is it voronoi cells on top of blue noise?

Proving Ground: The Untold Story of the Six Women Who Programmed the World’s First Modern Computer (by Kathy Kleiman)

I enjoy reading up on computer history, and this is a pretty good retelling of an important story. However, the parts that really struck me are the personal accounts of the author in trying to recover this history. The ENIAC 6 played an important role in the history of the first computer and of programming as a vocation, but their story was almost forgotten. To the point that these women were not even invited to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the ENIAC. That's shameful, and I'm happy that they finally have started to get the recognition they deserve.

If you're interested in this history, Jean Jennings Bartik also wrote an autobiography, that tells the story from her perspective.
