First explainer I've ever seen of Taylor series that really clicked for me.

In general, I wish more of calculus had been taught to me not as a fundmental math that is abstractly internally-consistent, but from its historical origins: "Physics and engineering are hard, here's some brilliant hacks people came up with to make the estimates and calculations tractable." Then you can go from those to why they work to get to the theoretical context-free calculus.

Here is the fundamental difference.
In application-level programming, there is such a thing as a function that is guaranteed to succeed and return.

In systems-level programming, no such creature exists.

Ye young people who seek understanding of the computing world: this is not the whole of the law, but it is the law.

The image that appears in my brain whenever someone says anything like "C is a fine language if you just use it right."

Part one of thinking about simulating drivetrains. #frc
