W. Patrick McCray on his book Readme

See README: A Bookish History of Computing from Electronic Brains to Everything Machines. 

11:29 on the dynamics of the knowledge industry, see Toby on How to Sell a Textbook. 

26:19 and 1:05:52 On Joseph Weizenbaum and his book Computer Power and Human Reason: From Judgment to Calculation. You can read it on the Internet Archive. 

29:57 On Ted Nelson's book Computer Lib/Dream Machines being republished by Microsoft Press. See Dream Machines on Bret Victor's web site. It's also on the Internet Archive. See, e.g. the chapter Beautiful Bunny Booties:

See also Alan Kay and Bonnie MacBird's Tribute to Ted Nelson. 

42:03 on the book Introduction to VLSI systems by Carver Mead and Lynn Conway. Apparently the DARPA-funded VLSI Project Mead–Conway VLSI chip design revolution was a thing. See Alan Kay on Simplicity. 

57:01 on computers as authors and 19th century algorithms for composing prose and poetry. 

Sometimes I think it's working, and that the world is changing for the better. This is one of them: People Inventing New Languages to Describe Sounds and Braids, Permutations, Representations, Continued Fraction Expansions and Models of Typed Lambda Calculus.

Steven Johnson - So You Think You Know How to Take Derivatives?

A derivative is linearisation, and differential calculus is essentially linear algebra, ...  See  Freya Holmér - Why Can't You Multiply Vectors?  and  Freya Holmér on Continuity of Splines . See also the MIT OCW page:  Matrix Calculus For Machine Learning And Beyond  (Alan Edelman, Steven G. Johnson) Subscribe to The Julia Programming Language . Alan Edelman talking about expressing mathematics as computer code. The idea is that you can use computer languages to communicate mathematical ideas precisely to other people.

Hitachi HD44780U LCD Display Fonts

I finally got the bit-mapped fonts from the Hitachi "1602" display :  Here's some JavaScript: const HD44780U01ASCII=[ [],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[], [],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[], [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, ], [4, 4, 4, 4, 0, 0, 4, 0, 0, 0, ], [10, 10, 10, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, ], [10, 10, 31, 10, 31, 10, 10, 0, 0, 0, ], [4, 15, 20, 14, 5, 30, 4, 0, 0, 0, ], [24, 25, 2, 4, 8, 19, 3, 0, 0, 0, ], [12, 18, 20, 8, 21, 18, 13, 0, 0, 0, ], [12, 4, 8, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, ], [2, 4, 8, 8, 8, 4, 2, 0, 0, 0, ], [8, 4, 2, 2, 2, 4, 8, 0, 0, 0, ], [0, 4, 21, 14, 21, 4, 0, 0, 0, 0, ], [0, 4, 4, 31, 4, 4, 0, 0, 0, 0, ], [0, 0, 0, 0, 12, 4, 8, 0, 0, 0, ], [0, 0, 0, 31, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, ], [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 12, 12, 0, 0, 0, ], [0, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 0, 0, 0, 0, ], [14, 17, 19, 21, 25, 17, 14, 0, 0, 0, ], [4, 12, 4, 4, 4, 4, 14, 0, 0, 0, ], [14, 17, 1, 2, 4, 8, 31, 0, 0, 0, ], [31, 2, 4, 2, 1, 17, 14, 0, 0, 0, ], [2, 6, 10, 18, 31, 2, 2, 0, 0,...

Using Pipewire to Make A Music Synthesizer

Illustration from Project Gutenberg's The Tenniel Illustrations for Carroll's Alice in Wonderland by Sir John Tenniel. Thinking about the linux desktop audio problem: I'm not the only one who finds this weird: https://t.co/b2BZMiak07 — eternal Doorman (@IanANGrant66) May 17, 2025  I noticed that if you change the volume using the Gnome volume keys it changes it in jumps. Usually you don't notice, but if you play a pure sine tone then you can easily hear the distortion. If you want to play with pipewire from C on Ubuntu 24.04 then it's really easy. The pipewire tutorials and examples can be compiled and run if you just first install the pipewire-0.3-dev package with sudo apt install libpipewire-0.3-dev But the API is sooo far away from pluggable, typed streams that I find it quite depressing. Is it because nobody understands the necessary type system . See  Programming Channel Processes and Alice's Adventures In The Wonderland Wide Web . [Update: y...
