Each time someone tried to explain how code actually works to me, I'd have a million "why" and "how" follow up questions for which I almost never found a fulfilling answer. ![]() In an effort to actually understand the games I write about and the gadgets I review, I've tried throwing myself into various online courses, be it YouTube or learn-to-code apps, with barely any success. If that seems obvious to you, allow me to ask: How does your iPad know what colors to produce onscreen? How does Netflix know which movie to send you? What, physically, is data? Despite living in an electronic world, these are just not things that we're taught. Out modern computerized world is just layers upon layers of systems of computations that we've heaped onto the backs of our silicon beasts of burden. There are no arcane secrets behind machine learning. The nuts and bolts, code and compilers none of it made any sense. But until last year, I had no idea how any of this shit really worked.

I have been a tech nerd for almost 32 years now. ![]() 5/24/2023 0 Comments John lewis graphic novel![]() ![]() King, and so many others worked to build,” according to Abrams.

His idea was the origin point for 1965's Thunderball. McClory felt that the potential of a Bond series rested on the character more than the stories Fleming had already written. McClory and Fleming's first disagreement came when Fleming pushed for a film adaptation of an existing Bond novel.

Fleming felt confident in McClory's abilities, and the two began to collaborate in early 1959. ![]() The two worked together on McClory's directorial debut, a sentimental melodrama called The Boy and the Bridge.
