And it's not 'tatínek' (which is the 'soft' variant of the word) but táta...

* 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.

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!

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.

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!

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!

> 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?

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.

Considering I made them up to be simple to use, that is definitely a good idea! I will take a look at it :).

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!
