Subject: [TUHS] Happy birthday, John von Neumann!
Date: Thu, 28 Dec 2017 09:10:56 +1100 (EST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.BSF.2.21.1712280908590.64029@aneurin.horsfall.org> (raw)
We gained John von Neumann on this day in 1903, and if you haven't heard
of him then you are barely human... As computer science goes, he's right
up there with Alan Turing. There is speculation that he knew of Babbage's
work; see
