Fascinating!

Enigma = Lector in From Russia With Love

Fond memories of these, one system had an attached non-DEC tape drive. I worked alongside a guy called Denis, known to all as Den - he (or we) could put in a 6250 tape and the LCD on the front would say "HI DEN", always made me chuckle

Con las tarjetas perforadas, que ya habían sido desechadas, se construían las mechas para un deporte popular colombiano llamado tejo. Estas tarjetas servían como envoltorio para almacenar un poco de pólvora y se colocaban sobre un objeto cilíndrico de metal que estaba enterrado el greda(arcilla humeda). Una persona se ubicaba a varios metros de distancia y lanzaba un objeto metálico llamado tejo con la intención que golpeara alguna de las mechas para hacerlas estallar.

Love to see that Dennis Nedry is still in the business ❤ keep up the good job. Hope you make one video on the refrigerated can sometimes.

There's a great sim on Enigma World Code group. Got a digital copy of an original k buch for the m4 model. Silent Hunter 3 has never been so realistic since learning to use it.

Podule, a village in central Poland, population 185.

This video is quite relaxing to listen to, especially every time he says "podules".

Is there a cash prize in the tournament? When & where is the next one?

So many legends in one video! Thank you for all!

"Hey, is it because of your shitty childhood that you became a game designer?" jesus fucking christ, fuck off

thankyou, really enjoyed listening, ive learnt a lot.

Would be nice to see interviews with the actual creators rather than this book promo. I cant recommend the book either, it was so full of errors I returned it.

This is so cool

What an omission. Lacking knowledge of a continent. It needs more training.

Put elite on!!

Why does he prefer a simple design? a simple design is boring

I was initially confused what Lyons was referring to, as a lot of places have a Lions Club and I thought it was that: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lions_Clubs_International

Tape drive in a draw may sound clever, and it takes up less space. But when the tech has to figure out why a tape will not load they lose their first most valuable troubleshooting tool, observation ! PDP-11/45 was my favorite machine to work on as a tech. And knowing it as well as I do provided me with a fun career. DEC BADGE # 7636. By the way, I have a DEC magtape of the ASCII images from 1974 or so. Don't know which computer museum to send it to. Including Spock holding the Enterprise model.

Didn't understand any of this but still enjoyed it!🙂

Born in late '81 and I can just about recall using a BBC micro in school. There was a game and I can't remember the name - I think it involved hexagons or cells that you needed to capture or invade. Hopefully that rings a bell for someone. The computer that really sticks in my mind was the Archimedes. A favourite memory of mine was of our primary school head teacher showing us the game Lemmings .

This brought me unfound joy to listen to.

What a wonderful personal story and background told by Ed Smith. Until now I had never neard about him and his wonderful achievements. Thank you.

I heard of Brooklyn in the early '60s and was glad I lived near open fields.

I paid $3000 to get a 5 mb hard drive for my PET. I now have 5 mb files

This is the most underrated channel I am always glad to remember that I'm subscribed to :)

Even the UI is perfect, even its modern version still uses the same principle.

Didn't the graph showing the 10 month break in reading u-boat codes/transmissions and tonnage sunk correspond to a huge increase in u-boat construction and commisioning? Can someone explain how enigma/lorentz code breaking knocked 2 years off of the war, its often parroted but never with a follow up explanation.

My understanding of our slow rail system is mostly due to freight trains using the same tracks.

This is the greatest thing since sliced bread! 🍞 ... infused with sleeping powder.

Oh my God Roger Wilson!

One of the most gripping things I've seen on UKposts If not THE most gripping.

what a nice guy with fun and interesting stories. that headteacher persona conceals the heart of a mischief-maker

Not sure why he kept using "added" when he mean "EORed". It's a computing audience and he not shy about using no more obscure terms like Chi-1 Chi-2, so why not just use EOR after explaining what a binary EOR operation is? Using the term "adding" easily confuses casual listeners.

Ol Henry is keeping them company.

Great video! Lovely to see you guys going through the options like normal people would do. Cobra was a good game based on the Stallone film. Didn't have much to do with the film though.

Truly fascinating ❤

does anybody know how to program this game demo i got from a magazine?? its called high noon and its around about 5 or 6 pages long - i cant code it properly because some of the numbers and digits are not printed clearly ?? can any1 help me out here please ? thanks........

Thank you for share!

Not only is this a fantastic, captivating piece of computer/wartime cryptanalysis, this guy is such a great technical communicator its almost possible to not realise how clear, terse effortless, succinct and cogent his communication style is. This was a true pleasure to listen to every syllable of this story. Everything was perfect: diction, dialogue, delivery, pacing, volume, technical explanations sparse but brilliant use of diagrams and photos, etc, etc, etc. A communication tour-de-force! BRAVO!!! Thank you for sharing such a wonderful effort!

2:16 i think i know the fan art that he's talking about. I love that drawing too. It's called "Remote mines in the Complex" by Zac Gorman. He does comics on a website called Magical Game Time

Currently in this chapter in Hackers !

All these ‘shortened the war by two years’ claims that circulate are bunk. They forget there were three wars being fought. The one all across the globe that millions were involved in and killed tens of millions. And the two that started in 1945. An enriched uranium bomb war. And a plutonium bomb war. The war in Europe was never going to go to spring 1947. If Germany had dominated central and western Europe in late summer 1945 the uranium and plutonium wars would have destroyed the cities of Germany in the fall of 1945.

Can you attach a physical floppy disk drive to it ?

This machine inspired me into a 25 yr career designing games. It was like magic to me, when that power switch went on, a portal into another world of endless possibilities. The commitment was huge, typing in Frogger code from a magazine. One misplaced semi-colon and it wouldn’t run. I could never understand how the likes of Revs and Elite could possibly fit into 32k of memory 😮

Thanks for that fascinating presentation. It is an injustice that none of those pioneers ( including Turing ) received any recognition during their lives due to secrecy of the work.
