Found these a couple weeks ago and bought the golf PDF for my <7y/o nephew and he was initially hesitant but then thrilled once he understood the basic premise. Didn’t have the heart to start teaching him A* and manhattan distance, that’ll come later.
I’m glad the creator made this and am looking forward to seeing more of these
Side note, these reminded me of pocket mod which I absolutely loved using 15 years ago https://pocketmod.com/
I still make them. Most are todo list things. I have the rule subset for my Robotics competitions for the kids to use since not all of them have phones. I also use them for trips to do plane flights, rental, hotel, dinner places, etc. I’d rather accidentally forget a pocketmod on a rental counter than my phone.
I love these! I’ve seen them referred to as “hand in hand” clocks and there are a handful of physical manifestations that you can 3d print or make yourself
Cool! I didn't like that the orientation of the clock hands rotated over time, and I made[1] one that maintains the typical analog clock hour/minute hands alignment with 12 o'clock while rotating once per minute on a long second hand.
Scroll down if you don't want to wait for it to finish. Squint, and you might see a 12-ness nested in the epicycles.
I was just reading in "Losing the Signal"[1] about how Blackberry's relay service of the late 1990s was sometimes run on a sysadmins laptop just because they needed anything to help deal with the traffic they weren't equipped to deal with.
Just want to give a quick shout out to coauthor Tom Griffiths for being an amazing educator; I attended his class before this book was published and was delighted when this book covered the general ideas covered. I’m always happy to recommend it to others looking to understand more about computer science in an approachable way

So what? Report him to the police, do an investigation, fire him if he really did what he's accused of, let the court deal with the rest... I don't know why removing him from the internet helps.
Removing a persona non-grata and their related authored material may serves multiple purposes:
- The organization signaling to stakeholders that they condemn and take appropriate action against behaviour.
- The organzation engaging in damage control, minimizing future exposure of events linking back to the organization.
- Penalizing transgressive behaviour in a professional setting, through sanctions and revocations of merit, reputation, licensing or employment etc.
Actually, breach of contract could lead to lecture material not being legally available, if a lecturer has sole ownership of such. It could also be that future use of say, recorded lectures, involves compensation to the author. If an organization want to cut ties to the author, or just withhold compensation for a time, they might refrain from using the authors material.
My initial gut feeling was your response, but changed my mind quickly when reading the article. His videos being online resulted in interaction with the students, and that's where he harassed them.
It's a shame, but any other solution feels like it's a broken stair just waiting for someone to trip over it.
