Hello all, I would like to share one of my passion project through a very [simple blog post](https://kwon-young.github.io/blog/2023/triangle/) on how to relate a triangle with it’s graphical representation. This is my first real blog post so I would like to know if this writing style was easy to read ? Also, I tried very hard to simplify things a lot and to not omit any details so that even a new prolog user can follow the post. If you see any mistakes, please let me know so that I can correct it. Link to the blog post: [Triangle · Kwon-Young Choi](https://kwon-young.github.io/blog/2023/triangle/) ---

This looks very interesting. I liked it as far as I could understand. It seems a nice project ---

Well thank you for your kind words 🙂 > [@anon419083](#): > > I liked it as far as I could understand Since it’s my first time writing such a blog post, I would like to know if there was anything unclear or badly explained ? Could you point out which part was the most unclear to you ? ---

I didn’t read it all. I just read the first part and I thought it was clear and I found the topic interesting. I might take some time reading it more in detail and letting you know. But it won’t happen in next two/three days but I’ll let you know ---

I don’t know what “to grok” means. I read that Elon Musk has launched a generative AI project under that name, and I read it’s a kind of geek jargon meaning…I don’t remember what (being sarcastic maybe?). I wouldn’t use the term, or if you like exactly to appeal to that kind of audience (the computer insiders, so to say) I think you should use a footnote to explain what words like these mean, if by chance a generic reader happens to read your blog ---

In general I think it’s very clearly written. Easy to follow and interesting topic ---

It has a Wiki page: [Grok - Wikipedia](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grok) It means > “to understand intuitively or by empathy, to establish rapport with” and “to empathize or communicate sympathetically (with); also, to experience enjoyment” Or in context of computer science > When you claim to “grok” some knowledge or technique, you are asserting that you have not merely learned it in a detached instrumental way but that it has become part of you, part of your identity. For example, to say that you “know” [Lisp](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lisp_(programming_language)) is simply to assert that you can code in it if necessary – but to say you “grok” Lisp is to claim that you have deeply entered the world-view and spirit of the language, with the implication that it has transformed your view of programming. Contrast [zen](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zen), which is a similar supernatural understanding experienced as a single brief flash. ---

> [@anon419083](#): > > I don’t know what “to grok” means. I use it as a synonym of “to understand”. Although wikipedia page linked by @Boris seems to imply of much more profound understanding than just “to understand”… I’ll change the blog post with “to understand” since it is clearer. @anon419083 By the way, thank you very much for taking some of your time to read and comment the post 🙂 ---

Hi. The blog post looks interesting but I think it’s meant to have a couple of embedded images. However, I can’t see any images. I tried with both Firefox and Chrome. ---

There were a couple of images…a triangle and a circle if I remember well. I use Safari because I have a Mac and tend to use the default 😅 ---

Do you disable javascript when browsing the web ? I’ve used a javascript library JSXGraph to visualize some geometrical figure. Maybe I should have just sticked to images… ---

Your page is loading very slowly and indeed the JavaScript for rendering the images is not loading at all. This one: [https://jsxgraph.org/distrib/jsxgraphcore.js](https://jsxgraph.org/distrib/jsxgraphcore.js) ---

Thank you for your feedback. I think I’m just going to remove them or convert them into images since it doesn’t seem to work. ---
