Jeri Ellsworth - Youth On The Air 2021

How all through her life the Ham Radio operator community have been her mentors, ... But she could actually see and speak with them! They were a big part of getting the basic infrastructure of the internet going on IBM-PC computers. I remember the call-sign of a guy called Phil Quarn, KA9Q, I think, who wrote part of the TCP/IP stack, or maybe it was a PPP dialler of something, I forget. Quite a lot of this stuff ended up on early Linux systems too.

Roger Waters - Radio Waves (1987)

I had a copy of this album on cassette tape, that I must've bought at a motorway services somewhere, and I never bothered to look up what it said in Morse code. I never learned Morse code. I was quite interested by the bits in the film The Imitation Game, about Alan Turing where the radio operator (listener) talks about an aesthetic sense listening to someone else's "hand" tapping a key on the other side of the world, ...

I also just took this photo of Rafael Gonzales, born here in Tecate, B.C., who told me about a spring near here called Agua Fría , half way from Tecate to Loma Tova , where, a few decades ago, people used to go to have barbecues and stuff, but now he thinks it may be private land. If someone reading this has a Facebook account, please write a link to this post onto his FB page. To see why I took the photo, look at his T-shirt and the horse-shoes and ponder this: Subscribe to BeatrizER and her video(s?) about mathematical logic, ...

"Some History of Functional Programming Languages" also  John Hughes - Why Functional Programming Matters  and David MacQueen's talk at ICFP 2015 in  Numberphile - Sophie Maclean on the Catalan Numbers . At 10:30 This whole discussion abut combinator reduction is especially interesting. I didn't know Arthur Norman had tried building hardware for combinator machines. I'll look that up: maybe start here A.C. Norman  Faster combinator reduction using stock hardware  in LFP '88: Proceedings of the 1988 ACM conference on LISP and functional programming. At 26:25 on the ISWIM virtual machine implemented in the PAL compacting garbage collector?! This work Reynolds and others did was at MIT in Masecheusetts and Argonne National Laboratory ...
