I don't think Udemy has any kind of completion certificates, and I can't imagine would put "Watched video about X" on their resume.

I suppose that would have to start by identifying why it's necessary to record someone's "race" in the first place. Does it need to change, or can it just be removed altogether?

I'm not the person you were replying to, but I went to university in Manchester, worked there, then Oxford, Cambridge and then to the US. Currently in Seattle. (I did do a stint in the IT department at North Lindsey College, which was.

What about TDD requires not understanding the code?

I converted a lot of my music from SoundTrackers to Digital Symphony files because it had compression, so I needed half as many floppies. Now, with nothing to play them on, I regret that.

I think simple and useful are competing goals. RISC OS is simple, but there's a lot that it can't do. I expect that simplicity makes porting larger software projects pretty difficult too. > starting with a conversion to preem

"the mission to reinvigorate the RISC OS market" They're nearly 20 years too late for that. The only compelling reason to use RISC OS over anything else these days is nostalgia. Still, it might be an interesting project to ha

My keratoconus is quite mild. It's the kind of thing your brain mostly compensates for I'm ideal conditions, but when reading white-on-black, reading text at a distance and especially driving at night, it does make things more dif

I learned how to use sine and cosine for drawing circles when I was probably 9 or 10. It was years before I found out what they actually mean and how they work. I didn't even know what the curves looked like.

I think we can assume that, given the complexity of a Terminator, the 6502 was just there for I/O, kind of like a BBC Micro with an ARM processor.
