It's very interesting, but it suffers quite badly from the current trend of having too high volume on the background music while people are talking. Edit: Well, this video is from 2012, so that trend has been going for a while..

Tom Scotts channel is pretty much filled with short, nerdy and well-made videos. Highly recommended.

As someone who enjoyed playing Balance of Power on the Amiga (without understanding what I was doing) this was a quite interesting read. I am reminded of the game over-screen: We do not reward failure. Hopefully his fortunes will improve.

I have only worked directly with an external consultancy company once, and the problem (the way I see it) is that the incentives are mis-aligned. A good internal developer will notice that requirements are missing, or could be improved, and

Welcome to the club! The 20’s started a year ago, but the third decade of the 20th century starts now[1]. To quote Itchy Boots: Lets go! [1] Give or take a few hours, depending.

I was in Ukraine in the mid-00s. Saw a five person motorcycle. No helmets, but they had an open side-car so a bit more space. Youngest kid was in a bucket held by big sister.

That, and since most planned surgeries ought to take place Mon-Fri, if anything it’s a higher percentage than I would have expected.

I agree that we can't look at the whole year until it's over, due to the irregular level of spread throughout the year. However, it's interesting to note that during the first ten weeks of 2020, 8% fewer people died in Sweden

The fact that belt building wasn't done in line (and not possible to do in line) was actually one of my big pet peeves[1]. In a game done with so much attention to detail, this always felt like a big omission. [1] Before I stopped play
