with kerberos we may hopefully ditch canvas altogether. may also be able to port my grades module from introml and streamline all the user/group backend.

but probably should be a long-term feature

A lot of the math parsing seems to be caused by Katex syntax (e.g. the weird conditional probability bar).

Hoping to switch to MathJax instead.

may want to use the expand state to trigger the collapse of the sidebar (when this feature is in)

• when using {: . } for class definition, line break matters. If we want to keep everything under the "blob", we need to use <br> tag instead of a natural line break and it's so tedious...
  need to improve.
• single dollar sign vs double dollar signs needs manual/careful setting-up;
  need to automate this.
• conditional probability type setting is finicky. sometimes we need to do $\mathbb{P}(X_j\|Y)$ instead of $\mathbb{P}(X_j|Y)$ to get $\mathbb{P}(X_j|Y)$-- note the \| Obviously having to do with escaping char but not sure of the root cause of it.
  need to really understand it before attempting a fix.

some concepts are best visualized via interactive demo -- particularly those abstract/computational ones. Not sure if there's enough time to bring these all in before the fall (or if there're open-sourced and fitting visualizations out there already). A laundry (wish) list is nonetheless helpful.

• strong convexity (unique optimal solution) vs convexity
• Jensen
• KL
• OLS as projection

Overlaps with hypothesis bar. Probably want to move the hamburger to the left.

it's possible to render (with syntax highlighting) code inside a note (or a homework). however, by default the code needs to be plain text hardcopy inside the markdown file -- making it hard to catch errors like syntax ones, not to mention actual run-time bug and duplication/

hopefully we can include stand-alone script into a post, with proper highlighting still of course.

• run build on the server
• possibly mirror or migrate to Github
• on push hook

make this repo content only; separate out all the bloating templates
deadline check hook

I think the instructions should maybe remove the square in the formula for the Euclidean distance?

• download as pdf
• staff horizontal layout
  - [ ] side bar sizing
• logo
• #4
• #5
  - [ ] (maybe?) side bar collapsing?
• make 404 fun and funky @( * O * )@
