I'm running ASICS London 10K in July for @samaritans (tw: suicide, depression)
Over 700k people take their own life each year – that’s one person every 40 seconds

The Bendix Central Air Digital Computer (CADC) was introduced in 1955. It was a critical component of fighter planes, using tiny gears to compute parameters such as airspeed and altitude. It contained 46 synchros, 511 gears, 820 ball bearings, and a total of 2,781 major parts. 🧵

ALT From the outside, the CADC is a black cylinder.
ALT The front of the CADC has round military-style connectors and two ports for pressure tubes.

My teenage brother’s coding teacher is telling them to keep variable names short - 1-2 characters, to make their code shorter and save space.
If you teach, please don’t do this.
Im trying to undo the damage now.
