New domain: japnaa.dev

So I purchased japnaa.dev.

I impulsively wanted to connect everything that I could put on japnaa.dev on japnaa.dev, so I connected my blogger website.

I am making this post to move the 'stuff I hate' blog down, since the word 'hate' is pretty strong (and I'm not exactly comfortable with that being the first thing people see when they enter this site.)

Anyway, I bought japnaa.dev from Google Domains because it seemed to be the cheapest option from a quick search (on Google). Most other domain registars charge about $20 CAD for renewing a domain for a year, while Google charges $17 CAD for buying and renewing. (Many domain registars provide ~$1 domains for one year, but then renew at like $40 the following years.)

I think a lot of websites don't suggest using Google Domains because it doesn't provide web hosting (other than Google Sites), but I don't need web hosting, since I'm already using free static site host like Github pages / Blogger. (And also I personally think Google Sites isn't too bad.)

I was originally looking for a japnaa.com domain, but found Google Domains offered .dev domains at the same cost. I thought .dev was cooler, so I bought .dev.

Yup.

That concludes my non-opinionated blog post that will move the 'stuff I hate' blog down.

Math LaTeX Crash Course

LaTeX for Math Crash Course (It’s easy, don’t worry) CodeCogs CodeCogs is a website that’ll allow you to test your LaTeX math code in real time. A stable internet connection is required for the ‘real time’ part. I highly recommend following along with this tutorial. Note that LaTeX is not only for math, so if you google “how to… latex,” you might see results for non-math related stuff. What is LaTeX for Math? It’s a way to let you type math as code, and make it look pretty. Typing operators + + + , − - − and = = = are intuitive. Just type + , - , or = . Example 1 + 1 - 1 = 1 1 + 1 − 1 = 1 1 + 1 - 1 = 1 1 + 1 − 1 = 1 Multiply and divide use symbols that you can’t normally type on the keyboard, so instead, you type \times or \div instead. Don’t forget the \ at the beginning! This is the ‘escape character’ and is how you type most symbols. Example 4 \times 2 \div 3 = 2.6666667... 4 × 2 ÷ 3 = 2.666666... 4 \times 2 \div 3 = 2.666666... 4 × 2 ÷ 3 = 2.666666....

Stuff I hate

 There are some stuff in the world that I hate. underline 'former' and 'latter' 12 AM and 12 PM One may call these 'pet peeves.' I would like to go through each thing and explain why I hate them. Underline Underline is a common formatting option available on many text-editing platforms. Unlike bold or italics , color of the text, which modifies the way the text is presented, the underline formatting option adds a line below the text. Why do I hate it? One reason, is that it could be mistaken for a link . Look at the underlined text above -- don't you feel like you could click it? (Although, the this argument could also be made about color.) But the main reason I hate underline: It looks bad . I understand the use of underline in handwritten text -- it's a convenient and easy way for you to make a piece of text stand out, and it doesn't require other tools (like a highlighter). However, we are in the digital age. Compare...
