  • 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.

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

  • Just for the records 68000 processor where 32 bit. And there was cheap preemptive multitasking/multimedia personal computer back in 1985.

  • @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.

  • Will i have enough information from these videos to make simple games?

  • great video! Thanks

  • @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."

  • Gawd, I just wrote a little C++ program, it comes to 2080K!
