I just realized the CSS that works in Chrome for -webkit-box-shadow and -webkit-scrollbar don't look very nice in Firefox:

Some material:

This is a sprout off of #16

Also, determine if attribute is needed / possible for hosted images linked to (but not shown).

Could also use as an excuse to learn D3.js or something else to allow interactive animations

In 'get_katex`, store output that is repeated such as

{{ get_katex("n = d_0, d_1 d_2 d_3, d_4 d_5 d_6, d_7 d_8 d_9", blockquote=True) }}

This is the Weyl group of the exceptional root system F4.

• Never say what we mean instead; I "probably can't make it"
• Students turn in work that even they can't understand in a week. Plots with no labels; exam answers on every part of page with no flow.
• Who is the audience?

Reason: Serving a single HTML page is much preferred to loading many PNGs (though they are all 4kb, so many not big deal).

Matrices: KaTeX/KaTeX#43
Align Environment: KaTeX/KaTeX#61

I also need to use it for \widetilde.

It's possible to make them via

pstoedit -f plot-svg -dt -ssp 84.ps 84.svg

and to embed via

<img src="/path/to/file.svg" alt="SVG test">

My first attempt at this resulted in a non-transparent background, so the flags need some tweaking.

Some other possibilities

pdftocairo -svg latexdoc.pdf output.svg
pdf2svg file.pdf file.svg

For example, in 2014-07-29-bayes-law-primer.template the line

{{ get_katex("\\text{Pr}(X) = \\text{Pr}(X \\text{ and } Y_1 \\text{ both occur}) + \\text{Pr}(X \\text{ and } Y_2 \\text{ both occur}) + \\text{Pr}(X \\text{ and } Y_3 \\text{ both occur}).", blockquote=True) }}

is too long for even a large laptop screen.

May want a strategy for preserving old comments or maybe just link to old

bossylobster.blogger.com (not under bossylobster.com domain)

if people care

Something in the generated index.html causes the add to get prematurely cut off (at least on localhost):

(For future reference, the far left is /all_posts.html, which is a non-article, the middle is an article and the far right is /.)

Temporarily dealing with this by only having Ads on articles:

Want to make sure the custom fork does not lag behind the official version.

It may be necessary to use a different than after_success hook to send an email.

Currently turned off in pelicanconf.py

This is automatic for the stored images used for get_latex_img

Round-off of 1 / q**4 confused me for days for q ~= 0.

Roots in programming. Asking "why?" instead of just jumping into a nasty hack.

e.g. "Send more people to college" could be reformulated into "Fix the job market, send less to college, get better signals for employers"

Anonymous recommend the CSS changes:

.katex { font-size: 0.9em; } [the maths are too big]
blockquote { font-size: inherit; } [i.e., remove the 1.2em -- also too big]
h4 { font-size: 1.3em; } [not big enough to stand out as proper headers]

I.e. have

IMG1 | IMG2

instead of

IMG1
IMG2

Also

• show assembly generated
• discuss CUDA branching issues (BE BRIEF)
• discuss what CUDA does to avoid branching for max/min

Maybe give a tiny refresher on IEEE:

import struct

def f(val):
    return ''.join([bin(ord(c))[2:].zfill(8) for c in struct.pack('>d', val)])

def g(bits):
    z = [bits[i:i + 8] for i in xrange(0, 64, 8)]
    z = [int(c, 2) for c in z]
    z = ''.join([chr(c) for c in z])
    return struct.unpack('>d', z)[0]

def h(s, e, m):
    return g(s + e + m)

h('0', '1' * 11, '1' + '0' * 51)

See ffacee2

In particular, just include PNG screen shots for expressions which require mathbb.

Could make

include a check whether in master and in a PR like:

Some work also done towards a global 404:

For example a build which only added an apostrophe decided to re-build all the templates (this already fixed). This is not necessary.

A simple hack could be to use TRAVIS_COMMIT_RANGE (it is not set if the parent commit is the last one built by Travis). This only works because we only build on non-PRs in master.

Even more extreme is re-building for parts of the repo that don't change the blog content in any way.

Currently takes to

However, this immediately gets redirected to

https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Ablog.bossylobster.com&q={QUERY}#q={QUERY}

which is equivalent to

https://www.google.com/search?q={QUERY}

Should instead be

I'll use this thread as drop in ideas (before they are fully formed).

bossylobster.com is supposed to point to www but currently gives a Google 404 (probably related to where App Engine is hosted):

It seems I probably made a CNAME alias instead of the redirect from bossylobster.com/{page} to www.bossylobster.com/{page} I was intending.

Also currently breaks bossylobster.com/teaching for my students.

This is needed since the blogger dashboard will no longer be around
