शून्यता| I got married.
Grats.
| I thought i could find some time to do some recherching on my wedding day.
Hahahaha.
| The new episode comes in two weeks.

Amin GirasolIs 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.
Mark Christensen@wallingf Advent of Computing podcast has two episodes on Otlet.
The first is https://adventofcomputing.libsyn.com/episode-107-the-mundaneum-part-i
Advent of Computing: Episode 107 - The Mundaneum, Part I
The Internet is the closest we've come to a universal store of all human knowledge. However, it's not the first pass at this lofty goal. In this episode(and the next) we are looking at the Mundaneum, a project started in the 1890s to address the information problem. How is it connected to the larger story of hypertext? And how can this older project inform our views on the information problem? Selected sources: -- Selected Essays of Paul Otlet

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):
Advent of Computing
Welcome to Advent of Computing, the show that talks about the shocking, intriguing, and all too often relevant history of computing. A lot of little things we take for granted today have rich stories behind their creation, in each episode we will learn how older tech has lead to our modern world.
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. 🫡

Advent of Computing: Episode 99 - The Berkeley Software Distribution
UNIX is a big deal. It's one of the most influential programs in history. Most operating systems that we use today can trace their lineage back to UNIX. The only notable exception at this point is Windows. But all these new-fangled operating systems aren't blood relatives of UNIX, they are all derivatives. Second cousins, if you will. So how did we get from UNIX into a diverse field of UNIX-like things? It all starts with a little project at UC Berkeley. Selected Sources: - Oral History of Bill Joy - A Quarter Century of UNIX
I just assumed, based on terms like #cyberspace & #cyberpunk, that #cybernetics is the study/use of computers. 😊
The #AdventOfComputing #podcast episode in question is here:

It features #socialism, a #coup, the #CIA, etc. in #Chile. Quite a change.
Advent of Computing: Episode 75 - A Cybernetic Future
Cybernetics is broadly defined as the study of control and communications, with a special emphasis on feedback-based systems. Put another way: cybernetics is the study of the flow of data. Predating computer science by decades, cybernetics offers up an interesting view of computing. But of course, there's a lot more to the picture than just computers. This episode we are looking at Project Cybersyn, an attempt to automate Chile's economy via cybernetics. To talk about this specific case we are going to dive deep into the history of cybernetics itself.
