The original pumphouse and sluice houses for Number 1 Dock of the former Govan Graving Docks on the Clyde in Glasgow. This would originally have contained the boiler, accumulator and pump used to pump water out of what was the largest and deepest dry dock in the UK at the time it was constructed in the early 1870s. It's recently been cleaned up and is part of the new park created on the site, allowing visitors to explore it.

my greatest compiler crimes are under NDA…
so just to be totally clear AI is "democratizing" programming by taking something that used to free to do and making it so you pay a subscription fee to an American corporation to do it while being barred from ever actually understanding how it works, am I getting that right?

GDC 2016: "Three Statistical Tests Every Game Developer Should Know" by Elan Ruskin (@crash) of Insomniac Games https://gdcvault.com/play/1023323/Three-Statistical-Tests-Every-Game

This was really good. It was basically exactly what it said on the tin, plus gamedev-themed examples which really helped.

The three tests were
1. Student's T Test
2. Paired 2-sample T Test
3. Mann–Whitney U Test

Review: 10/10 This was great because it was concise, actionable, relevant, and answered questions I actually had before watching this presentation.
