Lately, I've been playing around with the NixOS operating system, and I wrote a guide on Building a Philosophy Workstation with NixOS. In it, I document the process of setting up a computer for the use and practice of Philosophy:

Although I wrote the guide with Philosophy students in mind, it has a surprising amount of overlap with software development and programming-- which will make it useful for Computer Science students as well.
For an example of a more straightforward work on philosophy, I wrote a dialogue on the metaphysics of being, using an analogy with chess and cryptography:

- andrewzah 5y agoReally nice site. It (and this thread in general) is motivating me to start writing again. I used LaTeX a lot in college, and I use a similar program now called Lilypond which is the same idea but for sheet music.
- passerine 5y agoThank you! I'm glad that my work was useful to you. I'm familiar with Lilypond, I've used it in the past to typeset musical notation, which I later exported for use in LaTeX as well.
