I had a lot of flight data from a micro drone and wanted to make a nice smooth plot... I couldn't find a ready-made solution on the internet.

I propose how GPT-4 could be improved so that it can think and iteratively get better at solving competitive programming problems.

This program lets you do algebraic calculations step by step and stay in control of them. It works by smartly applying formulas to the original expression. Here is the devlog of the program together with a description of the idea behind it.

Zola is a great static site generator. I moved my blog to it, and it inspired me to implement many cool features and to speed up the blog. This article focuses on the pros and cons of Zola as a static site generator.

My blog used to load slowly and lag a lot, even though it was a static site. Here is how I got maximum loading speed, minimal traffic and a score of 100 in Lighthouse.

My blog now has a bunch of features that make it easier to write unusual posts and add handy functionality for the reader. Mostly I'm just bragging, but you can also steal these features for yourself.

Everything about the discoveries I made about portals; how I developed software to visualize them; what happens if you put a portal inside a portal; monoportals; a triple portal. I break your brain and space with portals.

I show it with two examples and cover everything: collecting ideas, planning, data structures, todo lists, writing code.

About a tool that will change how you think about programming graphical interfaces. If your pet projects used to be limited to console utilities, now you can confidently start making graphical ones with about the same amount of effort.

I refute, wholesale, the argument that something abstract and mathematical doesn't exist.

It's an incredibly terrible solution, and I propose a more sensible one.

Is it possible to create an automaton that has particles moving forward in time and backward in time at the same time? Yes, and I made such an automaton: this post is about it.

The whole world is wrong again, and once again I have a brilliant solution.

Why working with floating-point numbers brings so much suffering, and a crazy idea for improving it with new data types.

Ordinary probabilities give the chance that some event will happen. But how do you describe a person's confidence that an event will happen? And how do you describe that the probability increases given some event? I propose an interesting idea of "confidences", which are meant to solve this.
