Ah, that's because the "python" is actually just using javascript evals. } else if (mode === 'python') { if (cmd === 'exit()') { mode = 'sh'; } else { try { // Safe(ish) eval for d…

This was cool: https://codepen.io/ChetasLua/pen/yyezLjN Somewhat amusing 4th wall breaking if you open Python from the terminal in the fake Windows. Examples: 1. If you try to prin…

The part about dad joke square theory got me thinking about this classic scarecrow joke, which feels like an example from some higher order version of square theory: "Why was the s…

Also the African humid period isn't visually apparent ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_humid_period ). But very cool!

I am told that an interesting alternative is the Structured State Space for Sequence Modeling (S4). I don't personally know much about this technique, but didn't see anybody else m…

I had him as a teaching assistant when I was teaching data structures at Princeton back in Fall 2013. Princeton CS has their professors rotate through as TAs every so often through…

Like a lot of schools, our Data Structures course doubles as a soft intro to software engineering. I want them to know how to solve real problems efficiently and manage complexity.…

I'll get pondering. Having some sort of rube goldeberg-esque mega project was my original idea, but finding a specific form for it has been elusive. Taking inspiration from Factori…

I like these! And I encourage a little bit of cheating. I'm curious to see how the particularly clever students will subvert the system. As it happens, I had a fun assignment all a…

1. It's definitely not about the Comparator. The lesson is all about showing off a CI/code review process. This is intended to be a short exercise, expected to take no more than an…

This is a weird assignment idea. I’d love to hear what you think, how you might improve it, etc. Some specific open questions I have: 1. How can I nudge students towards being crea…
