This is a worthwhile talk, albeit a bit too long. In this talk RH provides a framework to think about libraries, how they change over time and how we should be communicating those changes. He proposes a way forward in which the changes are communicated in a way that can be dealt with programmatically, a much better framework than versioning schemes (semver gets a beating in this talk!).

Video is a high-bandwidth way of delivering information at a low bandwidth. But try watching tech videos at 1.5 speed, it makes them much more engaging. Also works for ponderous anime.
Hah! Ponderous anime. I remember watching some shows at 4x speed. I'm not sure whether it's anime that introduced me to sped up video, but subtitles are a great help when watching videos at faster than 1x speed.
That's why I prefer youtube over the other services - you can speed it up. I'm not a native speaker, so 1.25 is the fastest I can understand at the moment.
Got any examples of ponderous anime? Lain? Akira? GITS?
Dragonball. They sometimes charge up one attack over several episodes.
