skyspace 2

This is a blog that I hope to be able to keep consistently! I plan to use it largely to be a way of reflecting on cool math / cs stuff that I am learning in classes in school, in doing random research, and in discussions with friends. I enjoy sharing what I learn, and find that I learn a lot by sharing. Sometimes when I'm swamped with work and stumped by various problems its easy to forget how cool and beautiful math is. I hope that this blog can serve as a reminder that math is awesome! Just in case you forgot.

why skyspace 2?

skyspace 1 was great, but had some problems that prevented me from using it super frequently. This is an attempt to remedy those problems.

skyspace 2 design principles:

  • articles are appended to a feed

  • also can be tagged into categories

  • efficiency:

    • we should not have to rebuild the entire site each time. just a tiny portion of it
  • actively share quality content!

    • have some way for people to "subscribe"
    • advertise via word of mouth
    • also make it fun: have some reccuring characters in the blog posts
  • smooth addition of new content

    • this cannot be overstated. I need to be able to bring up the editing window for the latest post in 5 keystrokes or less.
  • logical organization:

ss2/
index.html
--> links to dated articles
topics.html
--> links to the topic pages
complexity/
  index.html
  --> contains the Disquss for the category
  --> contains links to articles in the category
  --> contains the description of the category
  src/
    README.md
    --> description of the category
    images/
      img1.png
    120922.md
      title: IP

      contents: 
      story
      IP = PSPACE!

      description: 
      high probability veryify a statement without a certificate!

      body:
      blah blah blah

      begin thm
      test $\int x^2 = x^3 / 3$
      end thm

  • simplicity: --> skyspace1 was really complicated and very fragile. Hopefully skyspace2 is better.
