I am both amazed and appalled by the excellent #Wikipedia article on the 2025 New York City Democratic mayoral primary.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_New_York_City_Democratic_mayoral_primary

This is a #news #resource which relatively calmly documents most everything #voters should have at their fingertips about candidates in a political race, including details about the voting methodology.

But prior to the event, it is #journalism and #NotEncyclopedic - in fact, it is #OriginalResearch.

There's a project for that.

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.
