No idea whether this is still understandable today, but as a child I loved the sweets from Quality Street. Unfortunately, the bitter thing was, that my grandma could only bring them exactly once a year, so the beloved sweets could definitely be called rare in our home. And what do you do, when you're a kid, and you've got a NERD gene or two? You save the best pieces for last. (In my case, it was the orange ones.) 🍬

And since said gene is still active today, IMO the best post of this current issue also comes at the end. Big thanks to our reader Robert N. for bringing the following series to our attention.

Fabian Schuiki - @fabianschuiki on Twitter - may not have a name like Ben Eater, but he follows in his footsteps all the more energetically. But the shoes he puts on, are 2 sizes bigger. 

Fabian builds a CPU. In contrast to Ben's sub-scalar SAP 8-bit design, Fabian chooses the other side of the complexity scale and builds a superscalar architecture with out-of-order execution … on breadboards! The claim - namely the comprehensibility of the topic even for non-professionals - is the same, though.

An ingenious video series, from which we can hopefully expect a lot more in the future.
