Spotted while scrolling through my student's submitted solution to IMO 2025/2:

the fact that i can just spawn as many domains as i want on *.evanchen.cc is killing my productivity

TIL that Denmark's postal service stopped delivering letters last year, after 400 years. Little heartbreaking.

How does anyone get any work done inside a web browser?

Today I learned you can add the modeline

vim: path+=docs

so that using gf on content.md will cause Vim to look for docs/content.md too. It's about time.

You know, I actually like the URL https://web.evanchen.cc/personal.html over the more modern https://web.evanchen.cc/personal/.

I think this might just be Stockholm syndrome but I actually like how it seems more old-fashioned. And tells you about the underlying technology: that it's just an HTML file.

Apparently in Asymptote you can just do 2P instead of 2*P. I had no idea.

I feel like people can see what I've been up to lately my checking my GitHub commit history because recently everything I do gets pushed to public repo's.

Caring about normal is for people-homogeneous things. For example, human anatomy is quite consistent from person to person, so if your blood pressure is significantly higher than the population average, then your doctor is right to worry.

Whereas pursuit of interests is pretty much the opposite of that.

sometimes i wish i had registered evanchen.dev instead of evanchen.cc, although i don't think .dev domains were available for sale yet back then.

Note to self on how to use virtualfish to create a new uv environment with a specified Python version

vf new -c ENVIRONMENT_NAME --python (uv python find 3.12)

Honestly the virtualfish and uv situation is worthy of a blog post… maybe it'll help some confused amateurs like me? If I have the time.

Programming languages are also judged by the proficiency of their users. So a programming language with good design principles attracts good developers, which in turn increases its reputation further.

I ran out of Claude credits so I ended up refactoring build.py in web.evanchen.cc by hand, which took way longer than making a robot do it, but I feel like the final product was also better than it would've been if I had an LLM do it.

Switched from Pelican to Zola for wall and it feels so clean. (And fast.)
