Spent a little time with the presentation for the next class I'm teaching. If I do redo it in QML then I can embed the raw data into the presentation and make the graphics a bit more dynamic.

I hear that the presentation template for the next event I'm teaching at is bad and instructors who ask are being told that they should just go with a neutral dark background instead of trying to use it. I might rework the whole thing in QML anyway (I use that for the visuals in a lot of my videos) so that would simplify matters a bit.

The viral math trick that clickbait purveyors want you to think everybody is talking about (but nobody is): literally day 1 algebra.

The cat is making sounds like a jazz trumpeter.
