The long lost manual for the Zuse Z4 has been found
There's a very lively startup scene in Berlin, but no-one in that scene seems to know that the world's first digital computer was built in Berlin.<p>There's an obscure and easy to miss sign (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konrad_Zuse#/media/File:2007-01-20_Gedenktafel_Zuse_Z3.jpg" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konrad_Zuse#/media/File:2007-0...</a>) on the house he lived in while working on it, and another sign at the technical university, but that's about it. No big festivities in his name, no commemorations, nothing.<p>Just imagine if the first digital computer was built somewhere in the US or in the UK. I'm sure we'd hear about until the end of times. Strange how that works.
