I recently set up analytics on this website and for my projects ( [[Projects]]B ). I opted to use Shynet, a free and open source analytics platform, and Caddy, a modern web server written in Go that automatically handles HTTPS. Here’s what the end result looks like: Summary Setup Installing Caddy with Extra Modules using xcaddy Installing Shynet docker-compose.yml .env nginx.conf Tying everything together Finding and replacing Issues with gzipped responses Issues with finding/replacing Why Shynet?

The problem How you can fix this How you can stop this happening again System Preferences (macOS Only) VS Code iTerm (macOS Only) Why I’m writing this The problem I ran into this problem where markdown headers were only rendering properly intermittently. The problem looked like this: Here’s the README of a project I’ve been working on before I fixed the problem: And here it is after I fixed the problem:

No. The game No fun The question How can you prove it? Representing the board Checking for winners Crunching the numbers Conclusion The game 3D noughts and crosses, or 3D tic-tac-toe, is a variant of the classic game where you play on a $3 \times 3 \times 3$ cube. It’s easiest to represent this with three separate grids, where you can win in each grid individually but also get diagonals and straight lines through the cube.

Now 2022-02-17 Trying to cram some coursework in and go over some new topics for my A levels. Also messing around with SageMath to explore why the roots of the equation $9^{2x} = 27^{x^2 - 5}$ form a hyperbola on an Argand diagram and trying to find a series solution for $e^x \ln x = a$ that is a bit more applicable than the slowly converging and narrow $x = e^{\sum^\infty_{n = 1} \sum^\infty_{k = 0} \frac{(-1)^k k^{n-1} x^n}{k!

I’m writing this post because I had a lot of questions about the specifics of the Oxford online interview and admissions process, but didn’t really find much super-concrete information. For some context, I made my UCAS application on October 11th 2021 to the following universities: Oxford, Mathematics and Computer Science Imperial, Mathematics and Computer Science UCL, Mathematics and Computer Science Southampton, Computer Science with Artificial Intelligence Bristol, Mathematics and Computer Science I have now received an A*AA offer from Oxford, which I’m really happy about.

This a list of my projects, i.e. things I’ve spent time working on in the past. They’re loosely sorted by how exciting I think they are. For the most part, all of the code is available on my GitHub and my GitLab.

These are a few blog posts that I hope people might find interesting. A lot of them are a work in progress, or don’t exist at all. For brief explanations of things I’ve worked on in the past, see [[Projects]]B . Blog posts with a “⚠️” are either a work in progress, and posts with a “✍️” haven’t even been started yet. 2022 Jan: [[A Dangerous Way of Taking Derivatives]]B Feb: [[Can you ever draw in 3D noughts and crosses?

I’m writing this post because before my interview I had a lot of questions about what it was going to be like, but couldn’t really find much information from people who had already had one. For some context, I made my UCAS application on October 11th 2021 to the following universities: Oxford, Mathematics and Computer Science Imperial, Mathematics and Computer Science UCL, Mathematics and Computer Science Southampton, Computer Science with Artificial Intelligence Bristol, Mathematics and Computer Science And received a Imperial offer for A*A*AA with Grade 2 STEP requirements.
