Via my good friend and fellow traveller Jaap van Till… every student in every school should have the opportunity to learn to code. Software is now in nearly everything around us, and many are needed to define and create it.

Arjen.

A “global disaster” is unfolding rapidly in the Arctic as melting sea ice kick starts global warming feedback loops. ” three-quarters of the “permanent”, year-round sea ice in the Arctic has been cooked away in just 30 years. Over half of it has disappeared in just the last eight years. A vast expanse of ice larger than the European Union has vanished. What’s left is half the area and only half as thick.”
