Interesting interview by @Sam Arbesman with Paul Rony, on lessons from the history of computing: https://www.theorthogonalbet.com/p/the-computing-historian-recovering

Some thoughts about • we finally have asynchronous multi-tasking - i.e. the internet - many independent computers, running at their own speed • we have some of the same “concurrency” issues, with internet, yet simpler, since internet does not allow actual memory sharing (you can share data, but not memory) • modern computing has been overrun by technical/academic complication, not by UX simplicity • the “new” invention of CompSci is not “programming” but “re-programming” • Design Recovery to lift designs out of old software and to re-express them in code for new RMs - what is the meta-language? (factbases of triples?) ...

Thanks! This was so much fun to do

Hmmm, video is not available anymore...

It's back up! (there were some issues but we resolved them)
