At my university we use Moodle and that lets me setup a page where students can schedule one-on-one appointments with me (during office hours). When a student books a time, Moodle sends me an email with the details.

I use a rule and an Applescript to scrape the details from the email and put the booking into my calendar.

Here is my implementation in python of the Poisson equation on an arbitrary 2D domain using the finite element method. I used this for teaching a course in partial differential equations:

Something similar in Python: https://github.com/daleroberts/tv

You can take the concept even further. I made this about 4 years ago now: https://github.com/daleroberts/tv

Also useful is a Quant finance cheat sheet if you are going to sit an exam:

This has been done in the Python ecosystem with matplotlib:

Thanks, that was cool hearing about your use of itermplot :-)

https://github.com/daleroberts/itermplot

I think I've thanked you before in the HN comments for it, but thank you again!! itermplot is one of those great tools that actually makes things just work in a pinch. I wrote/maintain a low-latency gravitational wave/high-energy neutrino joint source search, and crazy stuff is always happening. Being able to throw together plots and just see them in my terminal right away helps me maintain my sanity ^_^

For Matplotlib, checkout this: https://github.com/daleroberts/itermplot

n.b. this only works in iTerm.

You can get even better rendering quality if you are willing to use Unicode 9.0 characters: https://github.com/daleroberts/tv

I'm already using the Unicode block range, and a little from the symbols, geometry, math and braille ranges. You can turn ranges on/off and combine them in different ways.

There's ASCII too in some of the examples because I think it works pretty well as a complement to blocks, when used for dithering only (--fill ascii).

I'm always looking for more Unicode symbols to put to use, though. I think PETSCII and Teletext symbols are supposed to make it into the standard soon, if they haven't already.

Edit: Forgot to mention TV looks very good, an actual useful tool for big geo images.

Edit 2: Here's the PETSCII etc. proposal: https://www.unicode.org/L2/L2017/17435r-terminals-prop.pdf

Will be a blast when/if it gets adopted and font support catches up.

Are those Unicode 9 and later? It looks like those were all supported since Unicode 3.2.

I can't see any mention of video there.

Cool, nice to see that Tor was a student at ANU.
