@olafurw Spending 51 minutes and 53 seconds watching 'Learning Rust the Wrong Way' was the best time I've spent on YouTube in a long while. Thank you for such a thoughtful and captivating video — it was genuinely outstanding!

Je parle souvent d'enseignement, mais aussi souvent d'informatique (et de mathématiques).
J'ai parlé de Rust, je suis tombé sur une vidéo qui parle d'apprendre Rust ET de méthode d'enseignement. À voir même si Rust ne vous intéresse pas.

I have just finished making a very interesting blog about Hacking Satellites!
blogs.seifsebai.com/SAT/
It covers most of the cyber attacks that target satellites and everything in-between from routers to airplanes.
I do hope you enjoy it!

Learned an interesting factoid about Doom from an @olafurw vid - the game is completely deterministic. It doesn't generate random numbers, it just steps down preset arrays of random-ish #'s.
Which means for any given input of moves, the game result will always be the same.
