xiaoxiaeon Linear Programming in Python (2023)

* That is intended, the video is an introduction to LP.

* I use Fira Code, which makes certain symbol combinations as ligatures. Looking at it now, this is pretty awful to use on a website and confuses peolpe, I'll disable them.

xiaoxiaeon Linear Programming in Python (2023)

Author here (and a long time HN lurker), really cool to see someone post this here :). As mentioned at the beginning, the article was created mostly as additional resources for my video about LP (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E72DWgKP_1Y), which I think is definitely worth a watch if you find this interesting!

xiaoxiaeon Ask HN: Could you share your personal blog here?

https://slama.dev/

My little corner of the internet, filled with things that I personally find interesting. The posts are a mixture of lecture notes, additional resources for my YouTube videos and random things I didn't want to forget.

Glad to hear that! :)

xiaoxiaeon Show HN: Florodoro – A pomodoro timer that grows procedurally generated plants

Hello HN!

I recently put together a small pomodoro timer that grows procedurally generated trees/flowers while you're focused. It is intended to motivate you to create a nice collection of plants by being focused and productive.

It's inspired by Forest on Android and written in Python using PyQt5.

I'd love to know what you think!

xiaoxiaeon Show HN: Grafátko – An interactive graph (algorithms) visualizer

Hello HN!

I just finished (re)writing an app for visualizing graphs and graph-related algorithms (for a Uni course of mine) and thought it was interesting enough to share here. I'd love to hear your feedback!

xiaoxiaeon Show HN: Dark Patterns in Game Design

> I don't think there's anything dark about games being addictive. They should be, otherwise they're boring.

I don't think that's the case at all, since you'd be playing the game because you're addicted, not because you're having fun.

Why couldn't you enjoy a game without being addicted to it?

xiaoxiaeon Pirate Party MEP Elected Vice-President of EU Parliament

As a citizen of the Czech Republic, it's quite interesting seeing the outcome of the EU elections, since a lot of the people considered their campaign to be quite vague and overall not very good. I was personally a fan, because the alternatives were quite abysmal.

Jekyll!

Incredibly lightweight and simple to build! Still a WIP though.

xiaoxiaeon Robotics Simplified – a website for learning robotics

I'm glad you like it!

Yes - as I am a high school student myself, so my target audience is exactly the people you described.

I will look into the browser problem, performance testing is something I haven't payed enough attention to.

There is one interactive visualization in the Drive Control > Arcade Drive article, and I am planning on adding more, but interactive code is an absolutely amazing idea! I will definitely look into it.

Thanks so much for the advice and the bookmark!

xiaoxiaeon Robotics Simplified – a website for learning robotics

Hey everyone!

I’m the creator of the website and a former member of the FRC team 1391 (2018 - lead programmer and driver).

The website aims to explain topics from the field of robotics in a simple way.

It offers implementations (in Python) and illustrations of the discussed concepts, interactive visualizations (using P5.js), and is available offline as a PDF. It’s also open-source: https://github.com/xiaoxiae/Robotics-Simplified-Website

IT’S STILL A WIP, so the content is subject to change.

I would love to hear your thoughts on the project!

That was quite an enjoyable read.

It's so interesting that a problem so simple to explain would require hundreds of pages of proof.

I'm really interested in whether the Collatz conjecture will be proven too.

I mean he is right, and it's even said in the article. It is an amazing piece of software, nobody's arguing against that, but it's not chess.
