@rl_dane yep! I learned about it through the #AdventOfComputing podcast, two of his early episodes were about it.

Is Patreon inserting ads into show notes?

I'm looking at the show notes for an #AdventOfComputing episode in #AntennaPod, and I see a link for something called "The Eastern Boarder map fundraiser". It's out of context. I know I should know better, but I clicked it anyway and ended up on some unrelated rage-filled Patreon page. Screenshots below.

I've contacted Sean via email about this.

@wallingf Advent of Computing podcast has two episodes on Otlet.

The first is https://adventofcomputing.libsyn.com/episode-107-the-mundaneum-part-i

Eine IBM-Tochter kauft eine von IBM kontrollierte Firma. Warum? Who knows.

Ich weiß nicht wie man sich das vorstellen muss, traf sich Thomas J. Watson Jr mit sich selbst in einem leeren Büro und hat sich die Hände geschüttelt? (s a) #IBM #Flexowriter #Friden #AdventofComputing #Podcast #aoc151

Me reacting to Sean pronouncing the name of the #Vi text-editor as “vye” in the latest episode of the #AdventOfComputing #podcast (https://adventofcomputing.com/?guid=7c63d3d6-8ec2-4082-a262-e053f10f842c):

Sean Haas of the Advent of Computing podcast ought to get more attention around here! He's 116 episodes into a unique and rather excellent history of computing. He doesn't cover the mainline of computer history, but instead follows fascinating threads of his own. He tends to avoid the political implications of the work he describes, focusing instead on technical and administrative structures.

I'm thoroughly enjoying his two-parter on the history of #Prolog.

I liked his outline of 'first principles' languages, all of them #homoiconic: #Lisp, which operates on lists; #Forth, a tiny stack language; and #Prolog, a declarative logic language. The first and last of those were both originated for natural language processing.

A very nice episode on a very impressive program by Ivan Sutherland called “Sketchpad”.

It demonstrated graphical computing built with an object-oriented core, *before* these terms were invented. 🫡

Also, a teenage hacker in the 50s? 🤯
