The number students placed on undergraduate computing degrees in the UK has increased by 7% on last year, with over 24,900 people due to start courses❗
👉 It's the largest percentage increase of any subject according the UCAS data provided today: https://t.co/C1u5o5WN3n

So I understand that energy companies' costs have gone up, so their prices have gone up. But if their prices have gone up in line with their costs, then shouldn't they be making the same profit as before? Why are they making more profit than they were? 🤔

@BBCWomansHour Knitting, or at least weaving, IS linked to coding. Look up the Jacquard loom.

@BBCFrontRow @SarahTheDuchess @NickAhad @maxrichtermusic What an absolute airhead. Totally incoherent.

Hey @googledrive, when is the Linux version coming? Why ignoring desktop Linux?

@mathsmadeeasy You might want to check Question 5 on your frustums sheet. The question doesn't make sense and in any case the answer you give is wrong.🤓

@DavidDidau Fine. Why not. What do you think?

@StanfordsTravel Delighted. Perhaps you can use some of the money to improve your website.

The combination of @BBCr4today and @GavinWilliamson really is the worst of British. The old "will you apologise" and "you can't rule out..." chestnuts. Of course he can't rule out further restrictions; it would be idiotic to do so.

@toffler73 I'll stay tuned. Keep us updated please!

775 on the leaderboard. Not too bad for an old man. #AdventOfCode

[Justin Robertson @retrosnob]

@sumner_evans @NKCSS @ericwastl Sure. I meant just sharing final answers, ie the number, rather than sharing code.

[Justin Robertson @retrosnob]

I've been teaching computer science for 12 years and this is the best thing I've ever seen.

Need a vacation from 2020? Why not go on an adventure and learn programming at the same time?

#AdventOfCode 2020 starts December 1st!!

[Justin Robertson @retrosnob]

@NKCSS @ericwastl So well designed. I immediately thought that kids would share the answers. It's amazing that the competition generates different input data for different users.

@pendulum_bot Rorschach test. What do you see?

@CT_Bergstrom You took these photos over the white cliffs of dover?
