Using openCypher as a webscraper
openCypher is a query language for property graph
databases. If you squint slightly, an HTML document describes a property graph.
Can we use openCypher
for webscraping?

Free yourself from the tyranny of QMK and complex tools to remap keyboards! Improve ergnomics! Bring the magic of layers to the masses!
I love reinstalling the OS on my machines. I absolutely can’t imagine a better way to spend my time than hunting down right nvidia driver.
It this cursed? Is this totally valid? Only way to know is to use it in prod.

Let’s try to construct some fractals!
I totally ignored my plan from the previous post, and tried to parallelize things with WebGL. Read more to find out what happened!
a journey for aesthetics and speed
Two years ago I started writing an engine for a visual novel/rpg system. I totally forgot about it, and I’ve decided to start over. This post will dive into an analysis of what I got right and wrong the first time around and what learnings I have from an unfinished project.
I decided to sort my bookmarks and thought it might be fun to write about it.
I tried switching back to windows, it was an adventure.

It’s been about 1.5 years since I graduated! Here are some things that I wish I’d learned, or that I wish were taught in school.
Some experiments with my favorite fractal!
It’s been 6 months since I entered the “new normal”, what have I been up to?
Playing around with the illusion of color
Can’t call myself a math nerd without doing this right?
I’ve built some mechanical keyboards before, but maybe it’s time I built one from scratch.
I was recently shown the following statement and wanted to prove it. Given a circle of radius \(r\) centered at the origin, for \( \forall p \in (-r, r)\) , construct two semi circles that intersect uniquely at \((p, 0)\), such that each semi circle only intersects with the circle of radius \(r\) exactly twice, and each semicircle’s centers are on the x-axis. The sum of the areas of the two semicircles is half the area of the enclosing circle (\(\frac{\pi r^2}{2}\)). This post is a proof with visualizations!
Happy \( \pi \) day! In the spirit of \( \pi \) day, I wanted to compute the millionth digit of \( \pi \) using my GPU!
In my continued efforts to learn webGL, I wanted to make an engine for conway’s game of life. Click on this post for final result!
I’ve been trying to re-learn webGL lately. To get myself started, I’ve been trying to implement some simple visual effects as fragment shaders. In this post I’m going to be detailing how I made a hexel effect.

Recently, I came across this post which I found pretty interesting as a fellow owner of a arduino UNO. I also had a few cherry switches left over from a recent mechanical keyboard build, so I wanted to try my hand at building a keyboard/mouse from scratch as a learning exercise. You can find my current progress on this project over at https://github.com/aneeshdurg/arduino-keyboard/.
Hi everyone! It’s been a long time since I’ve updated my website (probably should more often…I’m paying for the hosting anyway…). Today I’d like to share with y’all something short and silly I made while trying to not think about my midterms. I’ve decided to try writing this in a tutorial format, with the intended readers being people who’re new to bash scripting.

Building a FUSE filesystem interface to mangareader
Hi all, it’s been a while since my last post. (Un)fortunately this isn’t a post about my more exciting Haskell project, but about a quick terminal enhancement I cooked up today!
Hello, my possibly (probably) nonexistant readers! It’s been a while since I’ve written anything. For starters, happy new year!

I was playing around with d3.js and made this animation thing. Move the cursor to experience it and click to see the code!
Recently, I’ve been playing around with my .bashrc file on my laptop and trying to make the time I spend at my laptop a little more exciting. Additionaly, I’ve been a huge fan of the pokemon franchise since I was young enough to frolick through meadows without incurring strange looks from others. I decided to bring the world of pokemon into my terminal.
I recently made a chrome extension called smartZoom which makes chrome set the browser’s zoom level based off of the user’s proximity to their laptop using getUserMedia. While I wouldn’t say it’s entirely complete and working they way I want it to, it can definately be considered a proof of concept.
This post details how I made the CameraTheremin. I hope you find it useful.
