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?

This old woman predicted the end of the world. This was really good book! I don’t really read books like this normally but I actually laughed out loud at this one.

Space! I really enjoyed this. I listened to an audiobook version of it and there was something really soothing about walking or running at night and being able to look up at what Carl Sagan and Ann Druyan. It’s one thing to hear these descriptions of amazing places, like the surface of Titan or Mars, but to actually know that they’re right there above us is really cool. There was one particularly awe-inspiring description of the precision with which one of the Voyager probes was launched:

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.

From Replacing Guilt, “Half-assing it with everything you’ve got”: The slacker in you rebels against pointless tasks, and the tryer in you wants perfection. So satisfy both: aim for the minimum necessary target, and move there as efficiently as possible. This post in the [[Replacing Guilt]]N series is about the difference between the “quality line” and the “preference curve”.

Or, This One FUNKY Trick For Taking Derivatives That TEACHERS Don’t Want You To Know The gradient of a straight line Taking the derivative dangerously Why isn’t this true? When are you allowed to take the derivative dangerously? Conclusion The gradient of a straight line Finding the gradient of a straight line is pretty easy. For example, consider the following straight line: $$ y = 3x + 1 $$ In this case, the gradient is three.

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!

Harry Potter is really a wizard. Pretty good, like [[Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone]]N. Thought it was better because there was a bit more of a plot rather than just something bit happening at the end.

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.
