I started a new blog on Substack. The first article is not related to rationality, just some ordinary Java programming: Using Images in Java.
Outside view suggests that I start many projects, but complete few. If this blog turns out to be an exception, the expected content of the blog is mostly programming and math, but potentially anything I find interesting.
The math stuff will probably be crossposted to LW, the programming stuff probably not—the reason is that math is more general and I am kinda good at it, while the programming articles will be narrowly specialized (like this one) and I am kinda average at coding. The decision will be made per article anyway.
When I started learning programming as a kid, my dream was to make computer games. Other than a few very simple ones I made during high school, I didn’t seriously follow in this direction. Maybe it’s time to restart the childhood dream. Game programming is different from the back-end development I usually do, so I will have to learn a few things. But maybe I can write about them while I learn. Then the worst case is that I will never make the games I imagine, but someone else with a similar dream may find my articles useful.
The math part will probably be about random topics that provoked my curiosity at the moment, with no overarching theme. At this moment, I have a half-written introduction to nonstandard natural numbers, but don’t hold your breath, because I am really slow at writing articles.
