|
|
|
I'm Daniel, a Computer Science student currently working towards my Master's Degree at Oregon State University.
|
|
Due to my initial interest in calculators and compilers, I got involved in the Programming Language Theory research
|
|
group, gaining same experience in formal verification, domain specific language, and explainable computing.
|
|
|
|
For work, school, and hobby projects, I use a variety of programming languages, most commonly C/C++,
|
|
Haskell, [Crystal](https://crystal-lang.org/), and [Elm](https://elm-lang.org/). I also have experience
|
|
with Java, Python, Haxe, and JavaScript.
|
|
|
|
A few notes about me or this site:
|
|
* __Correctness__: I mostly write technical content. Even though I proofread my articles, there's
|
|
always a fairly good chance that I'm wrong. You should always use your best judgement when reading
|
|
anything on this site -- if something seems wrong, it may very well be. I'm far from an expert.
|
|
* __Schedule__: I do not have a set post schedule. There are many reasons for this:
|
|
schoolwork, personal life, lack of inspiration. It also takes a _very_ long time for
|
|
me to write a single article. My article on [polymorphic type checking]({{< relref "/blog/10_compiler_polymorphism.md" >}})
|
|
is around 8,000 words long; besides writing it, I have to edit it, link up all the code
|
|
references, and proofread the final result. And of course, I need to write the code and
|
|
occasionally do some research.
|
|
* __Design__: I am doing my best to keep this website accessible and easy on the eyes.
|
|
I'm also doing my best to avoid any and all uses of JavaScript. I used to use a lot of
|
|
uMatrix, and most of the websites I browsed during this time were broken. Similarly,
|
|
a lot of websites were unusable on my weaker machines. So, I'm doing my part and
|
|
making this site usable without any JavaScript, and, as it seems to me, even
|
|
without any CSS.
|
|
* __Source code__: This blog is open source, but not on GitHub. Instead,
|
|
you can find the code on my [Gitea instance](https://dev.danilafe.com/Web-Projects/blog-static).
|
|
If you use this code for your own site, I would prefer that you don't copy the theme.

I don't run ads, nor do I profit from writing anything on here. I have no trouble paying for hosting,
