Hoooooollllyyy shit! It’s a brand new episode of Every Frame a Painting!! The first one in *eight years*. The seminal YouTube series returns with a video about the sustained two-shot. https://kottke.org/24/08/-new-every-frame-a-painting  @kottke ooh, His Girl Friday...such a great film. Great script and excellent delivery by the leads World-first tooth-regrowing drug will be given to humans in September. “If successful, this therapy could be available to patients with any permanently missing teeth within six years.” https://newatlas.com/medical/tooth-regrowing-human-trial/ “It’s not your imagination: a disproportionate number of women really do play bass guitar in rock bands.” Research shows there are a few reasons for this, one of which is that bass players are typically in short supply. https://daily.jstor.org/shes-all-about-that-bass/ |
@kottke She gave a lecture to my class when I was in computer science graduate school. Interesting.
Wow. She gave a lecture on YouTube in 1982! She really was ahead of her time.

@kottke I strongly recommend everyone remotely interested in the subject to watch this. Not only is Grace Hopper a brilliant and entertaining speaker but surprisingly most of her talking points are still valid more than forty years later. That’s quite the feat considering she’s talking about Computer science.
