 Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Articulate. It is Jake explaining words of my choosing to Paul. He cannot say the word. He cannot say words that rhyme with the word. And he cannot draw the word or make sounds. He has to describe them. Are you people ready? Ready to go? Yes. Off you go. OK, if you want to, you've got passwords for websites. But if you want to make it more secure, you add this in. A to the PS? I don't know. So you log in, you get an SMS or something, and that's called? Oh, two-factor. TwoFA? Yes, yes, you said it. OK, the fans of Vim really hate this text editor. Fans of Vim. Emax? Yep, thank you. OK, on a joypad, you've got the analog sticks, but you've got another thing there to do directional stuff. The D-pad. D-pad. Ha. Thank you, Serma. OK, so at the end of a line, you will sometimes leave some punctuation. If you're doing an array, you can miss one of these out on the last item, but I like to leave them in there. A comma? Yeah, but it's kind of just hanging around there, isn't it? It's sort of like. The trailing comma. Almost. It's kind of like sort of hanging off the edge there, isn't it? It's just sort of. I have no idea what this is. So if you were sort of holding on to a cliff edge, you would describe it as like, well, I'm really doing this thing. I mean. OK, so it's got two syllables. The first syllable is something like an American would say if they're not wanting to properly swear. So they'll say this. Oh, man. This is not a good explanation, I'll be honest with you. OK, a comic book character in the UK as a Scottish comic. He's desperate. Dan. Right. Dangling. Thank you very much. Excellent. Oh, wow. Dangling comma. So you've you've you can call these in JavaScript. Functions. Yes, but but sometimes sometimes you just do that straight away. And immediately invoked function. Yes, yes, excellent. Thank you very much. OK, so in we have a.window you've got the window variable. You've got the self variable. A new standard was made to join together. What level this thank you very much. All right, so if you were, say, in the late 90s and you really wanted some music but didn't want to pay for it, you would use this. Software. Kazar. Oh, nearly. Keep naming them. Oh, what was it called? Oh, no, it begins with an S. No, OK, so if you had a very short sleep, what would it be? And Napster. Excellent. Thank you. All right, so we've got Chrome, but like if you want to use the nightly, it's called this. Canary. Yep, excellent. So if you're starting a project with a set of files, you would call it this. It's also the name of a CSS framework. All the sites look the same because they all use this set of CSS. Bookstrap. Correct. OK, so we Blink came from WebKit, but WebKit came from Conqueror. And what was the? .html. Yes, absolutely. And we're out. Oh, wow, some of those are absolutely. I'm like miles away, but I could basically hear you sweating. Oh, so I was really struggling with the dangling comma. I just couldn't. I couldn't think of any of the. I thought I took you into Lintas. I've called it. I call it the trailing comma. Yeah, I call it trailing comma, but dangling comma works as well. Yeah, that's that was a good one. I looked it up. That's that's what that's what the rule in pretty is called. I'm just saying. Oh, fair enough. Just saying. Fair enough. Today I learned. Well, chaps, well done. OK, we're going to play another game of charades. Sirma is going to be describing to Jake as always. He's not allowed to make any kind of noise, draw words or letters in the air or now the letters or any of that kind of stuff. He has to say completely silent and describe the word of my choosing to Jake. I've sent the word across to Sirma, but he hasn't seen it yet. So he's about to see it for the first time. Try and describe it for one of a better term to Jake and Jake's going to try and guess it. Let's get ready, gentlemen. Are you ready for? Yeah, yeah, yeah. OK, on your marks. Get set. Let's go. You're welcome. I just disappointed Sirma. Two words. First word string. Yo, yo. Spiral. Circle. Web. Web. Second word. Web bundle. Web package. Oh, web. So it's like build. Web, web builder. It's not a bundle of web. Web tools. Web, web builder. Web construction. So. Web construct. Keep going. Web construction. Web constructor. Web builder. What are you doing? Come on, give me another clue. You need to work on that. That's your fault, Sirma, not mine. That's great. I can insult him, and he can't even talk back. He's like, Sirma, you're really bad at this. You're dreadful. OK, so we've got it. Are we doing back or but? But second word. Second word is. More versions of the word but, I think he's going for it. Web bottom. I mean, I only know the rude words apart from web. Oh, yeah, you are a rude word. Web arse. Really not getting this. So we've got. OK, so we're talking, right? We've got a big old web arse. A web arsenal. A web arse. A big web arse. I'm not enjoying myself right now. What would be an American way of saying arse? Web arse. Right, what's he doing? Web arse. Web assimilate three syllables. Web architecture. Web arse. Web arse. I don't know. I hate this. I'm not having fun anymore. This was fun before. I'm not enjoying this. OK. Web arse. Wait, wait, he's got it. No, I don't. I've got web assem. I'm kind of like repeating what you're saying. Web assembly. Yes. No. That was, I hate everything because that's so obvious now. An emotional low point or high point, depending on who you are. I would like to say well done, but I think well done, Surma. We'll leave it there. OK, so it's time for a Wikipedia race. The idea is fairly straightforward. I start Surma and Jake off on one particular page of Wikipedia. And I give them another page that they have to get through by clicking on the links around Wikipedia. So the starting point that they have here is the Chrome disambiguation page on Wikipedia. So this is the Chrome page. So if you just type Chrome into Wikipedia, it'll ask you which Chrome you're talking about. And that's where they're starting. They don't know where they're headed yet. I haven't told them. But you'll be able to see on screen both of their browsers. And the idea is the first one to get to the target page wins. Does that all make sense? Are you happy? Are you clear? I'm not happy, but it is clear. I was going to say are you clear? Not necessarily happy. All right, the page that you are going to go to, and I'll be obviously watching along, and all the best to you both. The page that you need to get to is Empire State Building. Oh, thanks, mate. Oh, OK. OK, right. I've got a plan. So it's straight into the browser. Yeah, yeah. So you can take a look at it. Yeah, OK. And you're allowed to search, apparently. Yes, Control-F is allowed. Yes. OK. All right, so Empire State Building, right? Yeah, Empire State Building. So if I remember correctly, the Empire State Building is in New York. It is. United States. Serma's got a great plan here. Yeah, well, I'm trying to do the same thing. Serma has arrived. Oh, mate. That was good work. OK, from Margaret Hamilton. Your target page is Arctic Monkeys, the band. Arctic Monkeys. Oh, my word. Interesting first choice there by Paul. Ah! Come on. We must have it. OK. I see. Why do some of these not have links? This is really annoying me. I'm not even sure what it would be classed as. This is so upsetting. I haven't even left them. I'm thinking. OK, Paul has made it at least across the ocean. Yeah, I'm stuck on. I have also. OK, I am now going to. The Beatles? That's close, but not quite it. I know. I'm thinking if I can find points of. Where are they from, Arctic Monkeys? Are they Sheffield? I don't know. Yes, they are. Oh, that's some very generous information sharing from Jake's side there. It was another than it helps me, because I'm stuck. I'm stuck, I'm stuck, I'm stuck. We have arrived at Sting also in terms of music. I know, I know, and I'm still desperately trying to think. So I have some famous. In the meantime, Jake has arrived in Sheffield, but it doesn't seem to be very helpful. Come on, I mean. Spice Girls, also another good shot. Again, I'm just hoping that somebody somewhere is going to reference the Arctic Monkeys from one of these famous musicians. I mean, the Spice Girls are infamously inspired. Why does the Sheffield? You got it. I was like, why does the Sheffield page not list the bands from Sheffield? Like, there's loads of good bands on Sheffield and clearly not on quite the right Sheffield page. For what's worth, mate? You can't get to Sheffield from the Arctic Monkeys, mate. You just click it. There you go. See, and now I'm on the proper Sheffield page. I bet it's like... I bet the Arctic Monkeys... There they are. Ah! What? That was good knowledge. I hate this game. I hate this game so much, I'm not having fun. It is time for a checkulate. Gentlemen, are you ready? I'm already sweating. I'll take that as a yes. I'm already in game mode. I'm just concentrating. All right. Get the game faces on. On your marks, get set, explain. OK. Oh, oh, Serma. This is, if you did brain surgery on something to... And then the second word would be a kind of bird. A kind of bird, flies at night and it's known for rotating its head all the way round. An owl. Right, that's the second word. The first one would be brain surgery to kind of... Oh, the lobotomised owl. Yes. OK, it's the standard's body. W3C. Correct. OK, it's a really old programming language from like 1950s, 1960s. It's the kind of thing you think of mainframes. Coreball. Correct. This one would be an old way of connecting to a monitor to a PC, for example. Oh, VGA? Slightly newer. DVI. Right, now expand it to what you'd actually call it. It is a DVI what? Plug, socket, cable. Keep going. Yes, there you go, DVI cable. DVI cable. Oh, Surma! Right, an old way of archiving that you'd have done on Windows. A WinRafit. Yes, brilliant. OK, yeah. Right, the standard that you write all your markup in. Yeah. But then add a letter on the front that's, again, a little bit on the older end. The standard that I write all my markup in? So what do you write your markup in? What do you write your markup in? VS Code. No, as in... Text. Yeah, but what's it actually known as? The standard for writing. You've got JavaScript, CSS, and... Common mark. JavaScript, CSS, and what? JavaScript, CSS, and HTML. Right, put another letter on the front. XHTML. Another one. Keep going. It makes it exciting and moving and... Oh, DHTML. DHTML. Perfect, perfect. Right, now you know what you do, thing and thing and thing, and that's really annoying. So there's a new operator that lets you just check. Oh, no! And it's a question mark. It's the Nullish coalescing operator? Yes! Brilliant. OK, Apple have a connector of this type with a... Lightning. Keep going, another one. Oh, a Thunderbolt. Perfect. OK, going back to the standard's body, there's a different layers of readiness for specs. Editors draft, there's perfect recommendation. That's it. Excellent. Right, the one that's up from Uno is... Duo. Brilliant. And... Well done. Well done. Oh! You did very, very, very well with those. There were some lucky stabs in the dark there, like with Koval and whatever. Like, I was expecting to have to list like a ton of all programming languages, but yeah, that was... I think DHTML was surprisingly difficult to land. Yeah, I was thinking about SHTML and all of that. Yeah. But you crushed it with... I didn't enjoy you dancing around with the lobotomized owl. I was very... That was very... I've never heard of it. What is that? I need to go on... Do I need to Google that? I'm not sure. It's a CSS selector. Star plus star is called the lobotomized owl. Today I learned... Ladies and gentlemen, we have another Wikipedia race coming up right now. Ah, good shaps. Ready? Yes. Your target page is Standard Deviation. Standard Deviation. I hate you. Right, I was hoping there'll be something about mathematics, but there isn't. So let's go with JavaScript. Math and... Ah, I see. We're doing exactly the same thing. There's code samples. Very helpful to find other mathematics-related articles. Yeah, but it's not really helping because they're not linked to the word math or math. I mean, that would be... Oh, no! All right, I'm going to try... I see both participants are engaging in wild control effing. Yeah, this is hard. We have arrived at Java, which is not that big of a... I went to Java and then I came back because I really am struggling. Hang on, I've got to go to Standard Deviation, right? Jake has arrived at Lua, which is also a questionable choice at this point. Reading about the syntax of Lua. Ah. Ah, we are slowly abstracting from concrete languages to abstract concepts. Maybe, maybe this is the way to go to... Why is... Right, I'm going off the wall. This is it. I'm in the Department of Computer and Science University of Cambridge. It's my duty to say, who knows? Paul... Whatever! Paul is still comparing languages... OK, OK, OK. OK, I thought you got it then. Um, no. Have you... Ah, looking for the word math and the article about math and L. That's... Yeah, but that was fine. I've gone to Mathematics, Standard. Oh, come on. How do you not have Standard Deviation in Math... That is a good question. Maybe something worth editing on the Wikipedia page. Oh, we have arrived. Bazaar statistics, that seems like it's very close. The pressure is on for Jake. Standard Deviation! Where's my mouse cursor? Yes! Oh, that was... No! Such a close call, but it was just fast enough to deny Jake his only chance at winning. Yes! I hate you so much. I hate you so much. Oh, I'm so happy I denied you the victory. I mean... Oh, finally. Tough, good fight, good fight, good fight. I think this one is complete rubbish. So you have to get to the Wikipedia page, landfill, off you go. Ah, rubbish? Yes. Okay. Okay, I'm going to go with... I am just like impressed at how quickly some of my moves around pages. I can see why I just lost this terribly. Okay. What are your strategies? I'm trying to... Oh, I'm not telling that. I'm not gonna... Well, that makes me a very boring video. Let's all just sit here in silence until one of you finds the page. I'm trying to go via agriculture. But for some reason... Oh, yes. There is no dedicated link. Landfill, got there. What? Oh, I'm so happy with that. Tell me your path. How did you do it? Tell me your path. Okay. Let's go backwards. I'm gonna have to rewind this. I'm actually quite pleased with this path that I went through. I went to 2.0, went to JavaScript library, to JavaScript, to V8, the JavaScript engine, figuring garbage collection. No way that worked. Oh! So that then led me to the disambiguation, because it has a disambiguation click at the top. So I went to the disambiguation page, the top one, garbage collection or waste collection is part of municipal waste management. Brilliant, great. So then I went to the waste collection and there is landfill. That's incredible. That is a path I would not have thought would ever work. So you deserve that win. That was what it was. Yeah, it was absolutely amazing. I unbelievably chuffed with that one. Yes! Well done. So we have been filming these little interstitial videos all day and we are running out of ideas and patience. So we've come up with a final game. A final game and what we're going to do is we're going to see how long we can not blink for. Was that the correct grammar to use? Not really. But the words were all there. You just have to make them work for yourself. Don't blink any of us for as long as possible. If we miss a little mini blink, then, you know, I'm sure everybody will hold us to the high standards of honesty that we expect from ourselves here. Absolutely. I'm trying to get in a quarter of blinks. I was just saying, you know how you hyperventilate before diving because it allows you to hold your breath longer? I wonder if the same thing applies to blinking. If you hyper blink, you get... There's going to be somebody out there who's going, that's the worst thing to do. They've all completely sabotaged our own attempts. You just lost three years of your lifespan especially with a big light in my face here as well. Yeah, that's not helping. Are you ready? I think so. Yes, I'm ready. Three, two, one, go. Oh, I kind of went for a huge eye open at the start there, which I feel like I might have... I blinked. Well, you've got to be pretty sure it's something. Yeah. Well, my eye is twitching. Moving your eyes is fine. This is really hard. Oh, you would think this would be easier than this, but my eyes are like properly stinging now. I just enjoy watching your frozen faces staring into the camera. The light is drying out your eyes as well. It is, because obviously to film this, we've got a huge... Well, I've got a huge light right there. It's like, oh, I blinked, I blinked. I've still not blinked yet. I think I haven't, anyway. Oh, yeah. That was the nicest blink I've ever had. Unless I'm much mistaken. I don't think I blinked there throughout. I'll be interested to... I might just watch that back for myself at some point. It turns out that you have a recording that you can re-watch on loop of you. I'm just blown away. This might be one of the most uncomfortable gifts we can make. Just staring and judging. Well, we're definitely out of ideas then, so... Yeah. Yeah, that's enough from us.
