If the PiDP11 follows Oscar's PiDP8 then the blinkenlights are pulse-width-modulated and you do get a warm glow out of them rather than a heartless and cold on/off. My recollection is that more of the PI's cpu cycles…
Bah -- try again so it is readable !! %% Simple statements -- root is an announcement word whose subject and object tell the story. %% 'IBM announced a new computer today' announce(Who, About, What) ==>…
Nice work by the O.P. Amusingly a year or so ago I took the Stanford Dependency parser and fed its output tree into a Prolog system to try to pull out the semantics. It was used to analyze business news (getting at the…
Just got my copy from Amazon. Cannot recommend Penrose highly enough ... a truly brilliant mathematical physicist who is not afraid to call out Emperor's new clothes as it were (which of course is an indirect reference…
Well, Simula predates PARC by about a decade, so I'm not so sure about AK created OOP. As for Windows and such, sniff around YouTube -- that notion goes back to the late 50's early 60's. That AK popularized this stuff -…
Man, what a weird question. I'm 61; been programming since 1968 (Ferranti Atlas -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlas_%28computer%29 -- the first machine with a whole bunch of stuff). What have I learned?: * Software…
