Today I learnt

  • #graphql
  • #physics
  • #markdown
  • #gatsby
  • #programming

Learnt about the double slit experiment and watched a good explanation of it. Light particles go through a two slits, and instead of producing 2 lines on the output screen, they produce multiple lines that look like a wave interference pattern. Strange. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9tKncAdlHQ


The full date format for frontmatter is YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS +/-TTTT. This way it will automatically get parsed as a date when querying via graphql https://jekyllrb.com/docs/front-matter/

graphql queries in gatsby do not accept parameters. I though this was only for gatsby.useStaticQuery, but I have not been able do so even in gatsby.graphql. The latter baffles me.

A page in gatsby can export a query object that gets executed when generating a page.
