@ScottRowe It's not terribly active, we usually get a question every couple days or so.

It's the quietest it's ever been. On the other hand, there's almost no lower that it can go, so there's that :)

Q: Quizzes after lectures

I put together elaborate, very carefully planned out lectures, complete with highly distilled exemplars, student teach-backs, and mid-lecture activities to check for understanding. I've had feedback that my students really enjoy these lessons and appreciate how much work I put in to making sure ...

Q: Which image rotation libraries use the Paeth algorithm?

I'm teaching linear algebra, and thought I'd show my students Paeth's rotation by shearing algorithm as a nice quick example of matrix manipulations. I'd like to include the information of which graphics libraries actually implement this, and I wasn't able to find anything other than the linked 2...
