What Hacker News says?

  1. My site (OP) actually has a content graph as well, though it has a dedicated page. I didn't want to force users to run arbitrary JavaScript on every page just for aesthetics. https://danilafe.com/graph/

  3. Depending on your goal, I quite like using pandoc [1] for rendering math in HTML. I can write something like: Equation: $$x=\frac {1} {2}$$ Unfortunately there is no common in-browser Math rendering and as the referenced article points out, pictures of equations are not the solution [2]. A common mathematics rendering format is desperately needed but nobody really seems motivated to solve it. My approach is to use M…

  5. I think what holds Agda back from being "practical" is that it just doesn't have good tactics. You can't easily automate proofs and even simplification techniques require some language-level tricks[1]. There's technically support for elaborator reflection (as in Idris) but it's painful and impossible to debug. Certainly nowhere near where Coq and Lean are. [1]: like this one I've used for several proofs so far: http…

  7. I'm over at https://danilafe.com . It's a blog, where I write about compilers, formal verification, and programming languages mostly. Occasionally some web design (with Hugo) sneaks in.
