The title states that this is von Neumann’s “first computer program,” but the writing includes plenty of indicators to the contrary and introduces the qualifiers “stored” and “extant.” Maybe Knuth will issue a reward check to someone who em

Yes, GDPR is worth it. It’s not cookie banners. If you’re going to maintain a database about members of the general public, you should be responsible for stewardship of that data. The GDPR requires some forms of data stewardship that are in

There are young, talented, ambitious people graduating from school in Florida every year, but for tech they run into the same vicious cycle: there aren’t enough tech opportunities in Florida, so a lot of the most talented and ambitious will

A term for this is the mind’s ear . You hear the mind’s eye used more often. You can generalize the construction to any sense you can imagine.

Glad you got a good provider, but that’s anecdata. You kind of acknowledge this with the word choice “should.” As the old joke goes, “what do you call the person who graduated last in their medical school class?” One estimate [1] states tha

What percentage of people have microplastics in their body? Or have been previously infected by common childhood illness ? I’m not giving these as theories for Alzheimer’s etiology, but to show that some environmental factors are ubiquitou

Does everybody with two copies get Alzheimer’s? If not, then there must be at least one additional ingredient / cause.

There’s a global epidemic of grievous inflammatory disease in cattle caused by the paratuberculosis bacterium. The challenge can be solved entirely by vaccines, it’s just not prioritized. You can simply “cull” a sick cow and sell the diseas

This is how I’ve navigated the problem. I don’t go there as often as I otherwise would. It would be nice if Starbucks made its product line more appealing, but it seems that their strategy centers around high-sugar items that could be more

Can Starbucks please stop packaging their tea in the plastic nets?

That makes sense. I'd never thought about it. You've saved me the disappointment of visiting Antarctica to realize that David Attenborough's voice doesn't just chime in whenever you look at something.

If a party could control the irregular tide of Bitcoin’s value rising and crashing, then it holds a means to stimulate or impoverish whatever economies rely on Bitcoin. This could be particularly attractive for parties who want to avoid for

> Some predecessors, like DigiCash, were too reliant on trusted authorities and so never gained market acceptance. Aren’t bitcoin holders trusting that no authority/state actor is going to 51% attack the blockchain?

My experience in pursuing this is that I applied to about a dozen on-campus CS grad programs, over the course of two years, noting this research direction, but those applications were all rejected. You would think with the emergence of gene

My use of illusion was not intended to diminish the significance of music. To the contrary, I meant to distinguish it as an exceptional perceptual phenomenon which reveals important aspects of the inner workings of human experience. Someh

What you illustrate is deeply fascinating. In music, there is a grammatical perception that works both cognitively and as an embodied experience.

Arnold Schoenberg observed the deep connection between music, perception, and cognition; anticipated composers applying timbral control as is now commonly done with synthesizers; and apparently did not anticipate non-subtlety of the effect

What about the children? Rather than presenting a rhetorical device, I’m genuinely wondering what would happen to math literacy rates when switching to something like base 12. It isn’t a question about specialist use cases, because we alrea
