Are blogs even cool anymore? I don’t know. There have been too many times I wish I had some sort of written record of what I work on. Today is the Saturday to set it up!
Writing is annoying enough already, so things on the backend shouldn’t make it more difficult. Jekyll seems reasonablly popular, so I using that. It allows me to pipe out some markdown and then have it magically become a webpage in a fashion of my choosing. Instead of using a theme I opted to hack together some html and css with this theme as a starting point. A lot of the high tech and animation jazz was removed in favor of a clean sheet of paper vibe. Hopefully it ages well.
Some rendering tests…
Code
#include <iostream>
int main(void) {
std::cout << "Uhhh..." << std::endl;
}
import os
if __name__ == "__main__":
print("Uhhh...")
#usda 1.0
def Sphere "Uhhh" {
double radius = 1
}
Math
Some tests using MathJax.
\[A = \pi r^2\] \[a^2 + b^2 = c^2\] \[y = 2x + 1\]Inline example: the slope of a line is $m = \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}$.
\[\frac{d}{dx}(x^2) = 2x\] \[\frac{d}{dx}(\sin x) = \cos x\] \[\int_0^2 x^2\,dx = \frac{8}{3}\] \[\frac{d}{dx}\left(\int_0^x t^2\,dt\right)=x^2\]Inline: the derivative of $x^3$ is $\frac{d}{dx}(x^3)=3x^2$.
Inline: the integral $\int_0^1 x\,dx=\frac12$ gives the area under the line from 0 to 1.
Inline: at $x=2$, the slope of $f(x)=x^2$ is $f’(2)=4$.
