I remember learning about ‘jerk’ in undergrad and my still jr high brain thinking, ‘haha, no way that is what it is called.’
The more I thought about it though, the more I realized it was the perfect name. It is definitely what you feel when the acceleration changes!
- Jensson 3y agoSame goes for productivity and jerks. Quickly speeding up or slowing down literally requires a jerk, and many wont like it regardless how you do it. You can go fast without jerks, but you can't react fast without jerks.
- kristiandupont 3y ago"Jerk" makes perfect sense to me too. What I never got was how "pop" could come after "crackle".
- zoky 3y agoBecause of Rice Krispies?
- kristiandupont 3y agoNo, because a "pop" seems lower frequency to me than a crackle. Not that I can articulate why :-D
- sd9 3y agozoky is making the point that the derivatives are named snap, crackle, and pop, in reference to Rice Krispies: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snap,_Crackle_and_Pop https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snap,_Crackle_and_Pop
