Hello World

Why this post?

Two things I'd like to do:

introduce myself to the internet
show what features (buggy or not) this blog supports

This blog will be focused on technical stuff, so ideally this blog should be able to support things like equations, diagrams, pictures, and code.

Code

Here are some code snippets.

function fancyAlert(arg) {
  if (arg) {
    $.facebox({ div: '#foo' })
  }
}

def squares(max_num):
  return [i ** 2 for i in range(max_num)]

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
 
// Following function that takes two parameters 'x' and 'y'
// as input and returns max of two input numbers
int max(int x, int y)
{
    if (x > y)
        return x;
    else
        return y;
}
 
// main function that doesn't receive any parameter and
// returns integer
int main()
{
    int a = 10, b = 20;
 
    // Calling above function to find max of 'a' and 'b'
    int m = max(a, b);
 
    cout << "m is " << m;
    return 0;
}

Math

Inline math expression $\mathcal{R}$ , and $2 + 2 = 4$ .

Block statement

W \in \mathcal{M}_{n \times m}(\mathbb{R})

Here is an example theorem and proof:

Example theorem:

\sum_{i=0}^{n} = \frac{n(n + 1)}{2}

The proof is by simple induction.

Media

Images

Videos

Caption of a video

TODO

Here is a public changelog of some things I'd like to improve about this site:

General Styling
- Make everything a bit more ... nice? Like right now the margins are horrendous. I don't even want to know how this site looks on mobile. [DONE]
- Change font to actually resemble LATEX font.
Code Highlighting
- Color different types of tokens differently [DONE]
Math
- Make sure that \mathcal and other fonts work properly [DONE]
- Import LATEX diagrams? Alternatively just convert to image file and import that in directly
New features
- Add support for images/video/audio [DONE]
- Analytics. Should be as easy as importing GA.
- Search
  - search by keyword
  - search based off of whether a blog has image, code, media etc.
  - LLM search based off of semantic meaning
Infra/Dev tooling side
- Right now, I have to manually upload markdown files to the backend. It's overkill for now, but I """eventually""" want to be able to search off of the content I put out. Would be nice to have some sort of mechanism (github action?) to automatically sync between my local files and Google cloud. [DONE]
