By the way, excellent work on Sway. I've been meaning to jump to i3 forever, and decided to move to Wayland on my most recent install. I do have some bug reports to send your way, though, I should get on that.
I'd like to think I have developed a hint of mathematical maturity (CS + late declared Math major), but I went more the algebra route and ended up never taking a diff.eq. course. The closest I came was in a complex analysis course with some motivating examples that assumed we'd have picked up some tricks in a diff.eq. course.
I used latex and made liberal use of keyboard and software macros to do it, and one of the tricks was to realize that if I needed a quick-to-type way to typeset new thing X, I should just pretend I had such an implementation and make up its command on the spot. At my leisure, I could write up a conforming latex command that worked with all the notes I'd taken in realtime.
That said, I've since come to realize that math notes don't help me as much as they seem to help others. I have greater success primarily listening during class and leaning on the textbook as well as online resources outside of class. I do second the use of emacs to handle the latex, but I don't think that realtime rendering is particularly important in a notes setting.
Is it common for the car to need to be running to listen to the radio?
It's also been helpful given how many people absolutely refuse to stop calling my old number despite explicitly telling the resistant ones "I have a new number, I _will_ stop checking the old one, and I can't answer calls to it anyway".
Exactly, sometimes I think people forget not everyone owns the latest and greatest of each and every product category.
For example, I finally gave in and bought a Pixel 2, but I've also held onto my '03 Jetta and still use a cassette adapter to play music. I'm used to shuffling cassette adapters between vehicles, so I speak from experience when I say that buying extra adapters or always having one on hand is too much of a hassle and I'll end up stuck with just the radio on occasion.
Even if I were to get a new car with bluetooth, I'd still be hosed in: my SO's car ('06 Rav4), my parents' cars ('99 Wrangler and '02 A6), my best friend's car (Saturn Ion), and my sister's car (older Impreza). In fact, the only car I'm ever in that has bluetooth is my brother-in-law's Mazda. Even solely looking at playing music in the car, I'd still need an adapter the overwhelming majority of the time. Now maybe my circle hangs onto cars longer than average, but I don't think it's too far off the norm.
