teaser for &amp;ldquo;rotations are deceptively hard. let&amp;rsquo;s find out!&amp;rdquo; Rotating an object seems simple, but in practice, it&amp;rsquo;s suprisingly tricky. Between Euler angles, matrices, quaternions, and beyond, each representation brings its own pitfalls and confusions. And because rotations appear in nearly every STEM field — graphics, physics, robotics, controls, computer vision, you’ll likely encounter them no matter what you work on. This talk unpacks why rotations are hard and how to work with them more easily.</description></item><item><title>Systems programming: everything is trying to kill you</title><link>http://hacklab.space/workshops/systems-programming/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>http://hacklab.space/workshops/systems-programming/</guid><description>description Systems programming is the programming you&amp;rsquo;ve probably never heard of. It powers everything from the smallest microprocessors to the most powerful super-computers. But with great power comes great responsibility. The risks could never be higher yet the chance of messing up is all too easy.
Note: If you attended this talk last semester, we are following a completely different format so you will have plenty to do.
Station 1: If you&amp;rsquo;re unfamiliar with systems programming, Watch &amp;ldquo;Systems Programming where Everything is Trying to Kill You&amp;rdquo;.</description></item></channel></rss>
