Other than the video?
OK, how about this article[^] about it instead?

What I was hoping for was an explanation of how a program for a quantum computer is organized and written. It's one thing to wave hands and say "we'll factor numbers much faster" - it's another thing entirely to explain precisely how we will do so. What serves as the language? How does input and output work? I haven't put much effort into searching for it, but I have yet to find such an explanation.
According to my calculations, I should be able to retire about 5 years after I die.

Aaaaah! Yeah. It's quantum. That basically requires a large quantity of handwavium for everything.
But I'd look at this article[^], and this PDF[^]. Both are from D-Wave: the "leading edge" supplier of quantum computers. They're the maker of the one that Google bought.

Should that be better stated: You both do and don't understand quantum mechanics ?

How about, "One does not simply understand quantum mechanics".

Census data provides some detail, and also raises questions about whether there's a U.S. shortage of STEM workers. So make sure your barista skills are up-to-date before graduating.

Your network is secure, your computer is up and running, and your printer is jam-free. Why? Because you’ve got an awesome sysadmin (or maybe a whole IT department) keeping your business up and running. So say IT loud; say IT proud … Happy SysAdmin Day! Or they might not let you keep using your network

We will celebrate with the public reading of this Dilbert cartoon, featuring Mordac the Preventer of Information Services. Muhaha!

This is real life where I work so will be abstaining from the other festivities.

I regulary work with the infrastructure team. I answer that question as, by accident...
Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

And like everything in M$ the site isn't bug free. If you click Resources from the left menu you can see some of the tweets ?! some loading and then finally the resources part of the site, but redirected to the anchor at the end of it ?!.
These are small bugs, but they annoy me a lot.

A C-like language with all the OO trimmings, garbage collection, strong data types, and excellent string processing makes a powerful tool for Web programming. Because it's been almost two whole weeks since we had a new language
Yeah, I know it's not new-new.

Hmmm. Works for me, but Dobb's was acting up earlier today, maybe it still is?

“Red-Green-Refactor” is a familiar slogan from test-driven development (TDD), describing a popular approach to writing software. It’s been both popular and controversial since the 2000′s (see the recent heated discussions between David Hansson, Bob Martin, and others). I find that it’s useful but limiting. Here I’ll describe some interesting exceptions to the rule, which have expanded the way I think about tests. "You don't have to put on the red light"
