Stand-up comedy routine about Spreadsheets

3b1b uses a python library for creating those videos. [link] As far as a math educator/communicator, one of my favorite videos of his is the video on the monster. [link] Also since we're talking about powerpoint here you should probably see this Matt Parker video about excel being used in ways it shouldn't maybe? ▶ this video

Given we've got Matt Parker and Excel on the front page at the same time, it feels like I have to recommend this video of both: ▶ this video

Review/look at anything that has an abstraction / implimentation aspect (aka protocols / specifications / design implimentations / public "source material") . Examine how things are stratified (deterministic vs. context sensitive 'deterministic group(s)' -- and what influences determinism/context sensitivity). aka iso/osi network communications model[4]. Keep in mind K.I.S.S. / occam's rasor philosophies! -------- a) pick just a single logical plane/level to look at within a design stack. aka -> database & sql; database & hard drive storage; hard drive storage layout (OS vs. drive physical layout & drive storage/reterival (scsi vs. non-scsi api) a) Any foundations of math class. b) Simple physics problems with single logical type that be described by math eqation(s). aka no multivariate analysis. c) "LISP: A Lanaguage For Stratified Design"(1987)[0] by H. Abelson and G. Sussman. (vs. Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs) d) A "Git" softare repository (where should be separation between OS, main mechanics of program, libraries, "implimentation details", etc) e) Expert C Programming: Deep C Secrets by P van der Linden d) Look at comparisons between types of mechanical engineering geers and associated logical groupings & how that'd correspond to electrical engineering boolean logic / pc 'units' aka add-in boards; processor types, gpu,cpu, etc aka rotational to linear motion / find that info on the hard drive disk : [link] e) picture to excel[1] : f) design / implime

Or association of lables/groups of actions with binary unit encodings[3]. aka programming languages (integration) and binary encodings (differentiation of groups of bits associate with programming language feature(s) into how relates/associates with underlying hardware aka compilation or on line by line basis via scripting). programming language 'type' punning gives programmer way to use/access an associated encoding (typically binary) and programming language abstraction[2][3]. aka ieee floating point specification[1][2] -- programming language level -- just the typical human readable number notation vs. binary encoding is just linear group of bits, where portion is number, portion is exponent. ----- "Modeling Practices in Calculus" approach ideas: "string art generator" : [link] "Turing up the code" : [link] assuming writing & finger presses don't count as 'by hand': running code on paper using just the phone camera : [link] "stand-up comedy routine about spreadsheets " : ▶ this video ----- [1] : [link] vs. church encoding : [link] [2] : "Learning that you can use unions in C for grouping things into namespaces" : [link] [3] : [link] : punning with character : gawk chapter "11.3.11 And Now for Something Completely Different" program : nil-punning : [link] : [link]

On the 'more animated' side of things : [link] ** different visual demonstrations : [link] Edward Tufte has looked at various ways to present data : [link] / [link] ** Make the quantum leap and use fennman diagrams to construct the network ( [link] ) ** So, could take the idea of scatter plot matrix in [link] and use the various plots to literally build a picture as represented in Excel cells as "picture" : ▶ this video and [link] Hypercastle explorer for terraforms : [link] Although, that kind of starts to get into coding. ;) [link] [link] [link] [link] ** Obligitory HN 'lisp' link : [link]
