I like this mode of explaining code things by slowly building up & talking through examples. I have been doing this in talks for a while to go over code bit by bit without live-coding. Examples: 1. click "present" & advanc

This debate footage is so remarkable to watch in 2019, for several reasons. 1: They allowed a third party candidate in a general debate 2: The candidate is able to take breaths & even pause without someone cutting jumping in, allowing h

I love mad magazine despite being born in the 1980s–I bought old copies from comic shops and the paperbacks were easy to find at used book stores. I even bought the cd-rom box-set with the entire archives at one point! My kids now read my o
