Episode 59: The NATO Software Engineering conferences, part 3

We're closing in on the end of the 1968 conference report, in this section discussion software service, maintenance, and other "special topics" including educating software engineers, and whether it's reasonable to pay for software at all. Along the way, we discover that there's no silver bullet 18 years before Fred Brooks told us; decide whether...

I added new articles to gnustep-developer.com. One is about ensuring a shared object gets loaded when it only contains ObjC symbols. The other, which is more important because there aren't other good examples online, is about the structure of NeXT-style app menus that you use on platforms other than macOS: https://gnustep-developer.com/articles/menu-structure/ #gnustep #crossplatform #appkit

De Programmatica IpsumJun 17

"His initial thesis (easily verifiable) is that people’s thinking evolves slower than technology. He goes to show how every big evolution in programming (from binary to assembler, from assembler to FORTRAN, and then from language to language) is met with contempt or resistance, in the worst cases, hostility.

Bret goes on to explain four major ways programming could evolve, as seen from the point of view of a hypothetical researcher in the early seventies."

Bret Victor

The first video of this series will feature none other than Bret Victor in one of his most memorable talks. We have already discussed Bret in a previous article about Smalltalk, where we named him one of the most influential figures in that galaxy. This video, however, shows that his light shines much brighter than that.

Part 2 of the SICPers #podcast miniseries on the NATO #SoftwareEngineering conferences goes into the Butlerian Jihad, Java exceptions, and Soviet research on cybernetics. Because of course it does.
