radmin··on Show HN: I built a free forms service for static websites
Yes, please start charging. Aside from the effect it has on perceived trustworthiness, longevity, etc., giving away your work for free undermines others' ability to make a living selling theirs.

radmin··on Glom – Restructured Data for Python
My thoughts also turned to toolz.

Here's a example comparison:

glom

  glom(target, ('system.planets', ['name']))
  # ['earth', 'jupiter']
toolz

  list(pluck('name', get_in(('system', 'planets'), target)))
  # ['earth', 'jupiter']
radmin··on People Who Use Netflix to Fall Asleep Has Doubled in the Last Two Years
I used to fall asleep listening to tv or music but am happy that I stopped. Granted, it's been many years since, but the readiness with which I fall asleep and the quality and duration of my sleep is now quite good.

I am an anxious person and my mind does sometimes race when trying to fall asleep, but I picked up a visualization technique somewhere along the way that works for me.

Basically, I visualize a looping scene (kind of like a boring, relaxing animated GIF) until my brain gives up and goes unconscious. It's been different things over the years, starting with the memory of relaxing solo experiences (e.g. riding a bike along a segment of lakeside bike path on a cool, sunny day) and is now something more abstract (a 3D cube with different-colored faces rotating in a black space).
