Decades-Old Computer Science Conjecture Solved in Two Pages
The history of computer science is dauting. Unlike physics, though, it's the history of incremental innovations that culminated in what we have today. Thus, if you go back in time long enough, things eventually are manageable.<p>A good primer on the history of CS is probably Code, The Hidden Language of Computer Hardware and Software, by Charles Pretzold. I've put together some notes on it here: <a href="http://alvaroduran.com/code" rel="nofollow">http://alvaroduran.com/code</a>.<p>Any feedback is much appreciated!
