They do for me (Android, Firefox).

* That is intended, the video is an introduction to LP.
* I use Fira Code, which makes certain symbol combinations as ligatures. Looking at it now, this is pretty awful to use on a website and confuses peolpe, I'll disable them.

Author here (and a long time HN lurker), really cool to see someone post this here :). As mentioned at the beginning, the article was created mostly as additional resources for my video about LP (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E72DWgKP_1Y), which I think is definitely worth a watch if you find this interesting!

My little corner of the internet, filled with things that I personally find interesting. The posts are a mixture of lecture notes, additional resources for my YouTube videos and random things I didn't want to forget.

Or exclude it and improve it even further :).

Glad to hear that! :)
xiaoxiae | 5 years ago | on: Show HN: Florodoro – A pomodoro timer that grows procedurally generated plants
Hello HN!
I recently put together a small pomodoro timer that grows procedurally generated trees/flowers while you're focused. It is intended to motivate you to create a nice collection of plants by being focused and productive.
It's inspired by Forest on Android and written in Python using PyQt5.
I'd love to know what you think!

Hello HN!
I just finished (re)writing an app for visualizing graphs and graph-related algorithms (for a Uni course of mine) and thought it was interesting enough to share here. I'd love to hear your feedback!

> I don't think there's anything dark about games being addictive. They should be, otherwise they're boring.
I don't think that's the case at all, since you'd be playing the game because you're addicted, not because you're having fun.
Why couldn't you enjoy a game without being addicted to it?

As a citizen of the Czech Republic, it's quite interesting seeing the outcome of the EU elections, since a lot of the people considered their campaign to be quite vague and overall not very good. I was personally a fan, because the alternatives were quite abysmal.
xiaoxiae | 6 years ago | on: Ask HN: What stack is your personal blog built on?
Jekyll!
Incredibly lightweight and simple to build! Still a WIP though.

Considering I made them up to be simple to use, that is definitely a good idea! I will take a look at it :).

I'm glad you like it!
Yes - as I am a high school student myself, so my target audience is exactly the people you described.
I will look into the browser problem, performance testing is something I haven't payed enough attention to.
There is one interactive visualization in the Drive Control > Arcade Drive article, and I am planning on adding more, but interactive code is an absolutely amazing idea! I will definitely look into it.
Thanks so much for the advice and the bookmark!
xiaoxiae | 7 years ago | on: Robotics Simplified – a website for learning robotics
Hey everyone!
I’m the creator of the website and a former member of the FRC team 1391 (2018 - lead programmer and driver).
The website aims to explain topics from the field of robotics in a simple way.
It offers implementations (in Python) and illustrations of the discussed concepts, interactive visualizations (using P5.js), and is available offline as a PDF. It’s also open-source: https://github.com/xiaoxiae/Robotics-Simplified-Website
IT’S STILL A WIP, so the content is subject to change.
I would love to hear your thoughts on the project!

That was quite an enjoyable read.
It's so interesting that a problem so simple to explain would require hundreds of pages of proof.
I'm really interested in whether the Collatz conjecture will be proven too.
