@jessald I'm going to test out beads next week, it seems similar to what you're trying to do here

@jessald True, but I feel like I go through the same process with a complex feature, and visualizing that process as a flow chart as the task moves between agents with different skills could still be very useful

@davepl1968 @queenie4rmnola Errm, about 4% of the world's population live in the USA. How can they all be in the top 1%?

@tsmacdonald Thank you so much!

[Iwan Smith @[email protected] @IwanSmith]

@tsmacdonald I really enjoyed your talk last night!
What software did you use for the presentation and live coding?

@PKoppenburg DSLRs are just inherently complicated. I understand everything about my mirrorless, but give me someone else's and it's like an alien spaceship

@yannseznec Finding a cheap RC transmitter/receiver on ebay? I would try and keep it as simple as possible and replace the original radio components.

@rikkicattermole @WorldSpills @WalterBright @olafurw That's cool - but the article is overshadowed by the hand-scanner on the next page!

@AlexRoseGames You can build a crappy radio with a £20 FPGA

@AlexRoseGames Since sound is played by moving the diaphragm of the speaker in and out in a very specific way, you can broadcast the same sound by modulating the frequency up and down in the same way.
Loud song = more extreme frequency modulations.
Quiet song = smaller frequency modulations

If you ever update the recursive descent section of your book, this needs to be mentioned

@lefticus @fenbf I expect that it avoids the static initialization order fiasco. That's less relevant now with inline variables.
