Hello, world

Hello and welcome to my blog!

I'm Vivian, online I go by vynride. I'm studying machine learning systems and I spend most of my left over time at hackathons, grinding competitive programming, or self-hosting things. This is where I'll write about it all.

But why?

Penguin Walking Toward Mountain / Nihilist Penguin

Mostly to think out loud. I find it fun to share (and especially write down) what I'm learning. It's also nice to have a searchable archive of what I was upto in the past.

If you find any of it useful, that's a bonus for me!

So, what to expect here?

There won't be a fixed schedule, but you can expect:

Building things - hackathon experiences, side projects, and advice on my approach to problems.
Self-hosting - running my own infra on a small VPS, tradeoffs and why it's are worth the effort.
Machine learning - whatever I'm digging into over the weekend.
Competitive programming - problems I find beautiful, concepts and ideas behind them.

Final note

And... since this is a hello world post, it would be rude not to:

hello.py

def greet(name: str) -> str:
    return f"hello, {name}"
 
print(greet("world"))

That's the whole first post. If you'd like follow along, the RSS feed is the best way to do it.

See you in the next one xD
