Life is Short
I’ve always been amazed by how short life is. But the thing is, it’s so easy to get caught up in the day-to-day — work, deadlines, chores — and forget that time is quietly slipping by. So I built this little thing. It shows your life in weeks — how many you’ve lived, and how many (roughly) you might have left. For me, it’s a daily reminder to zoom out, reflect on my choices, and not take time for granted. I’d had this idea in my head for ages and finally managed to build it (I’m not a technical person at all, so the app is really in the early stage) Hope it’s helpful to someone out there :)…

Hi! I made an interactive visualization of your life in weeks. Inspired by Tim Urban's Your Life in Weeks (Wait But Why) and Buster Benson's Life in Weeks. Hopefully it's a fun thing to do together with family over the holidays. I wrote about it on my digital garden: https://www.petemillspaugh.com/weeks-of-your-life Any feedback is welcome. Top on my todo list is improving performance (reduce interaction lag).

Hi everyone, I built PyXL — a hardware processor that executes a custom assembly generated from Python programs, without using a traditional interpreter or virtual machine. It compiles Python -> CPython Bytecode -> Instruction set designed for direct hardware execution. I’m sharing an early benchmark: a GPIO test where PyXL achieves a 480ns round-trip toggle — compared to 14-25 micro seconds on a MicroPython Pyboard - even though PyXL runs at a lower clock (100MHz vs. 168MHz). The design is stack-based, fully pipelined, and preserves Python's dynamic typing without static type restrictions.…
