Hi, this is such an amazing collection. Thank you for compiling these articles. Since I had some downtime, I've been reading through some of them these past few days, and these are the errors I've found so far.

  • Some grammar in pseudoscientism.md.
  • A spelling error in googradient.md.

Hi there,

Thanks for taking the time to check this out and read through some of Aaron's stuff! I'm not really sure how I feel about editing grammar/spelling mistakes quite yet. I'd like to keep the content as faithful to the originals as possible, but I do understand the benefits of corrections for future readers. I think perhaps I'd like a way to have the corrections included along with the originals, so that both can be included. I'll have to think about this some more.

I'm planning on going through all these posts with a fine-tooth comb (and including some pre-2005 posts I missed) and preparing a manually-edited final version for the anniversary of Aaron's death in a few weeks, so I hope to come up with a solution by then. If you're interested, I'd love any help! For now, I'm going to leave this open.

Hi,
You're quite right about keeping the content faithful to the originals,
but what about clarity? Hey, I'll be very glad to help for the
manually-edited final version. Edits are just a push away, and I'm
reading (roughly) a post a day. :) If you don't mind, I'll keep adding
pull requests as I come across new issues, for you to merge at your
discretion. Thus, we can keep discussing any changes as-needed. What do
you think?

P.S: Aaron inspired me when I was just leaving high-school. I first
heard of him in when I saw a post, on /. about Reddit's sale, in a
Ugandan Internet cafe. This is an interesting (long) story I'll write
about on my github pages blog soon. This was before I even knew how to
code. I've been reading his blog intermittently ever since, but more and
more through the end of last year. I secretly hoped to meet him someday,
and was really devastated by his death.
