The first bug was made by Grace Hopper?  Does anyone else find this amusing?

[HelmetVanga]

@heezo Grace Hopper a naval office and programmer. She invented COBOL language. The printer had stopped working, the mechanical part, so she discovered that a moth was obstructing the printing. By removing the bug, they wrote on the error log, debugging, which nowdays mean solving a computer errror either hardware or software.

@1:11:36 - Douglas Crockford states "And then C took B - this one was Dennis Ritchie - taking some of the good ideas in Pascal being more selective in taking stuff from its type system and adding to B - which was mainly a typeless language - he made C"....

Compare: DM Ritchie Jan 93. "The Development of the C Language" ... "The scheme of type composition adopted by C owes considerable debt to Algol 68, although it did not, perhaps, emerge in a form that Algol's adherents would approve of."

Fantastic lectures but the volume gain is waaaay too low and needs to be normalized. Please run these videos by someone with audio expertise and re-upload.
