While working on this blog, I wanted to add Slack-style named emoji.
:poop:.
Eventually, I realised Pandoc already has Slack emoji support 🎉, but only after I’d already made my own 🤦♀️. Then I found out Pandoc doesn’t seem to have :woman-facepalming:, so it’s a damn good thing I did 😳.
You’re using ad-hominem wrong, and it’s making you look silly.
Sometimes when I write reports, I end up summarizing backpropagation, which spurs me to derive it again for myself. Backpropagation isn’t particularly complicated mathematically, but if you’re not super comfortable applying the chain rule until your arm falls off, or combining calculus and linear algebra, it might feel a bit involved. Especially when my calculus is rusty, I occasionally go down some less sensible routes and take a while to get there – hopefully, writing this down will prevent me going the wrong way again. This is something of a crash-course in the derivation, without any of the diagrams or other niceties necessary to make it even slightly intelligible.
How are we all doing today?
This guide was originally written for people taking the CS324 Computer Graphics course wishing to compile the Linux OpenGL lab code or their own coursework on a Windows machine. However, you may find it useful if you’re trying to build cross-platform OpenGL apps with C++ on Windows. The original PDF is available here, but this web version is easier to follow and features a few minor corrections and readability enhancements.
