A look at the inner beauty of basic electronic components. From the book, "Open Circuits" by @oskay and Eric Schlaepfer. "As the authors write, everything about these components is deliberately designed to meet specific technical needs, but that design leads to “accidental beauty: the emergent aesthetics of things you were never expected to see.” " @sohkamyung @oskay This is an amazing book. I frequently pull it out when discussing electronic components in class. RIP, Fred Brooks, author of "The Mythical Man-month", managing developer of IBM's System/360 and much more. "Steven M. Bellovin @SteveBellovin Sad news from @unccs — Fred P. Brooks, the founder and long-time chair of the department (and a major influence on my professional outlook) passed away a few hours ago." https://twitter.com/stevebellovin/status/1593414068634734592 Of course, Improbable Research would feature this. 🙂 "Yuri Nakahashi, a student at Hosei University, Japan, wrote a thesis about sleeping with a cat night after night in locations chosen by the cat." https://improbable.com/2022/03/19/sleeping-next-to-the-cat-wherever-the-cat-chooses-to-sleep/ Looks useful, especially for reading technical PDF documents (where you need to do a long of referencing and jumping around). On HN, the developer promises MacOS and Linux versions soon.

Remotely connecting to computers was done before ARPANET. What ARPANET did was to standardize the way to communicate with computers over a network. https://twobithistory.org/2021/02/07/arpanet.html #Computers #Networking #ComputerHistory #NetworkingHistory #Arpanet #Internet |
