On the morning of my 38th birthday I set out on an expedition to the geohashpoint in my graticule as a diversion from my way to work: read my full hash log for details (or on the geohashing wiki). Inspired by a spot near the hashpoint, I also hid a geocache ("2019-01-08 51 -1, 09:19", … -
Additional Processors
Computerphile
Computerphile at its best, here tackling the topic of additional (supplementary) processors, like FPUs, GPUs, sound processors, etc., to which CPUs outsource some of their work under specific circumstances.

The Hu - Yuve Yuve Yu
by The Hu
The Hu (YouTube)
Mongolian folk rock. Until right now, you probably didn't even know that this was missing from your life.

Why the pencil is perfect
Caroline Weaver (TED)
I love to discover people who are hugely and deeply passionate about things that seem inconsequential to the rest of the world. Especially when they're especially able to express that passion and how exciting their special-thing is, to them. This video (and to a lesser extent the others in the Small … -

Lauris Beinerts (YouTube)
Do you remember The Expert, that video from 2014 that had engineers around the world laughing and crying in equal measure? Turns out that, earlier this year, a trio of sequels were made! This is the first of them.
