"Horrible Histories is a hit CBBC show that explores the side of history that they don’t teach you about in school! From the Vicious Vikings and Awful Egyptians to the Slimy Stuarts and Terrible Tudors, Horrible Histories covers the funniest, yuckiest and most gruesome bits of history for kids."
"Did this have good enough coverage in the EU, especially the conclusion?"
From the Guardian report:
> "The joint investigation by the Guardian, German public broadcaster ARD/NDR/Funk and Greek investigative outlet Solomon, in collaboration with Forensi" (Forensis is a Berlin-based research agency which investigates human rights violations)
"Nitter is a free and open source alternative Twitter front-end focused on privacy and performance. The source is available on GitHub at https://github.com/zedeus/nitter"
"Considering that the Zig Software Foundation not only doesn't have any big corporate backing, but also made an explicit point of always being fully independent"
Zig has a VP of Community and it's important how the role promotes and evangelize the language for developers. Another example: Crystal appointment a new Community Manager recently, and now have developer "ambassadors" - to promotion the Crystal language. It's a shame that Nim has no equivalent role or initiave to grow the language community.
The Context Free YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/@contextfree/videos) has a lot of interesting programming languages and interviews. It's a shame that the Kickstart conference was unsuccessful for funding.
I can see why single programming language conferences are often popular. But is a "Programming Languages Festival" too broad for a conference? Are attendees mostly from academic interest?
> As Gizmodo wrote in 2014, citing research by the Sensory Perception and Interaction Research Group, at University of British Columbia, white backgrounds act as a "crutch" for astigmatic eyes: "People with astigmatism (approximately 50% of the population) find it harder to read white text on black than black text on white."
I've been using Firefox for years, but I'm more impressed by Brave (desktop). In fact, Firefox feels stale and have been like that for some time. Features in Brave include: vertical tabs, independent search, a RSS Reader (Firefox previously removed RSS).
This is more than a minor update. I'm impressed by the improvements. I really like the way screenshots (and animated screenshots) make new features easy to explain.
Here are some interviews with programming languages creators or contributors: Bjarne Stroustrup (C++), Jose Valim (Elixir)...Go, Gleam, Rust and upcoming with Haskell
The Raspberry Pi is excellent for kids (and adults). There are tutorials for any topic (https://projects.raspberrypi.org/en). A lot of people are not aware that the Raspberry Pi magazines (MagPi) and books are free as PDFs. Or you can purchase printed books or magazines.
