A public place for quick unpolished writing. Topics include:
See djedr.github.io/writing and xtao.org/blog for more polished writing by me. Some of the writing here may eventually get republished there.
Note: you can view these writings directly on GitHub or thru a GitHub page – it’s generally better to do so directly, because GitHub pages don’t do syntax highlighting and don’t render math formulas, making them unreadable.
