Personally, playing with the graphing and algebra functions on the calculator were hugely informative. Rapidly trying out different things, seeing how they looked how tweaking things would cause adjustment, all added educational value.

I feel like graphing calculators enable exploration in a way that doing it manually with pen and paper cannot. Obviously, pen and paper is super valuable as well, but I feel that they are complimentary.

I exclusively use trackpads like Magic Trackpad 2 when I'm on MacOS. But I exclusively use a mouse when I'm running Windows and Linux.

MacOS just seems more tailored to the touchpad experience. Windows and Linux more tailored to the mouse experience.

If you haven’t seen it you may want the fugitive plugin for vim. It seems to give a reasonable level of git magic within vim. Maybe not as magic as magit, but it does a lot including good handling of interactive rebases.

Upgrades, API compatibility, and cross version communication are really important in some domains. A bad design can cause huge pain downstream when you need to make a change.

Ah! I didn't realize that the official client's page was filtered by "recommended" by default.

I wonder why the officially developed SwiftFin isn't shown as recommended? I guess maybe because it's still considered beta.

The fact that Jellyfin lacks a AppleTV/tvOS app seems like it continues to make it a dealbreaker... at least for my setup.

I hear people recommending clients like Infuse, but it feels odd to swap out Plex at this point if I can't go all in on the open source side of things.

Am I missing something here wrt Jellyfin clients? I guess I could try running it side-by-side with Plex and see how it goes.

100%, it's one of the irksome things about the education system in general - resources are limited. It's a hard problem to solve.

He’s implying that the variable it’s being defined within the loop. So, constant, but repeatedly redefined.

I've read that Tesla's summon feature requires the user to continually hold down a button on their phone in order to have the car continue its slow progress in driving towards the user.

Assuming that's the case, I would argue that this specific sort of accident is squarely in the domain of the user.
