Honestly stick with Excel. 90% of apps and other nonsense can be replaced with Excel. (Although I’m a Google Sheets person myself)

Happy Birthday Alan Turing

Happy Birthday Alan Turing
The thing is, I don’t remember any of this - there was a day when nobody thought it was an option, then a literal day when it might happen, then it was irreversibly happening. There wasn’t a persuasion phase.
If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:
1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long
All lies.

Okay, but isn’t that the opposite of your original post? If 6 out of 10 wish they’d known, and 6 out of 10 wish they’d started, then surely there is nobody left (ignoring rounding) who knew it was important but didn’t read to their kids? Like, that’s amazing result!

That’s interesting. So 0 of of 10 parents knew it was important but didn’t do it (lack of time, illness, that sort of thing)?

Me, about to do a simple Arduino project: “I spent eight years in C++, four of them squeezing every gram of performance out of it, this will be simple”
Me, an hour later: “what is this unwieldy bastard language?” _throws header file across the room_

In the sense that I do an external persons research in exchange for money. Not that someone pays me to do my own.

That’s super-useful if only because people already doing it at Royal Holloway means I can’t get in trouble for it (so not true)
