I'm a bit late to the thread, but I'll play the game this year (24.12.2026). I don't want any of these to happen, but unfortunately I think they might: - US starts a digital servic…

Xcode 13.3.1 apparently fixes one bug in one commandline tool and the total download size is 12.7GB. I understand that the packages are signed, but it should be possible to figure …

From the looks of it, they're leveraging a fork of a library I ported from Compiz a few years ago (called libanimation). I'm quite happy to see this, as I thought it was a dead end…

Hey, thanks for pointing this out. I've added it to my list here: https://github.com/smspillaz/intuitive-math/issues/7

Thanks! > One annoyance is that the graphs don't render if they're slightly off-screen (and they render slowly/fade-in or something) so it can be somewhat annoying to scroll back/f…

Hey, thanks for the feedback! > There are a few grammatical errors (missing word, missing comma) that are forgivable but I find that any imprecision in language is a big detriment …

Indeed. I think one of the thing I wanted to focus on as well in this series was explaining exactly where a lot of the formulas came from. It was a great learning experience, since…

Thank you! This was exactly my motivation in making it, so I'm glad it helped you!

It probably could be, as long as I figure out how to get code splitting to work with it being a static site. Shouldn't be too hard. I imagine its just a case of pre-rendering all t…

Yes, absolutely. I'm receiving lots of great links in the comments here, so it'd be great to cross link similar resources on this page too.

Actually, I think the issue here now that I think of it is that we do media query detection in on the React side to figure out which components to render. Really, we should just re…

Oh interesting. What phone are you using? It should enter a mobile-friendly kind of view, but I haven't implemented that on the server side renderer yet.

Indeed - this is one of the main motivations I had for creating this. 3b1b is great, but I much prefer reading than watching.

Yeah, for some reason I saw 60,000(!) requests on lambda all at the same time so I guess it had a bit of trouble scaling up. A scraper or Googlebot perhaps? Should be all fine now.…

Super cool, I didn't know that existed. Clearly someone else has had the problem I experienced too. I'll have to add that with a list of other useful resources on the site.

It is! I'll fix it later tonight.

Thanks for the feedback! I was a little worried that the explanations would fall back too much on formal properties, so I guess I've got a bit more work to do on the visualization …

I actually got my inspiration to do this from the 3b1b videos. And I agree, they are very fine educational materials. The gap which I'm trying to fill here is that 3b1b goes over t…
