Youtube is amazing. When you begin to uncover the hidden treasures there and, via related videos and suggestions, end up going down the rabbit hole into an entire world of information and entertainment unlike anything you can get elsewhere.
I started out looking for programming videos. Cloud computing, Java, Android development. But then I became interested in C and the inner workings of computers. That led to quantum computing and physics.
Today I ended up watching interviews with guys who've been coding since the start. They were discussing why we went with binary, why C has been such a successful language, how to code game physics in machine language. My feed has become a fountain of mind blowing videos. And so far the rabbit hole is still going deeper...
So today I was learning about old computers on new computers.
