Stephen Wolfram answers questions from his viewers about the history of science and technology as part of an unscripted livestream series, also available on YouTube here: https://wolfr.am/youtube-sw-qa
Questions include: History of Lisp? - What was ctrl+enter used for in Mathematica before Wolfram|Alpha? Were you saving that the whole time for such an important purpose? - Its crazy to think that the history of computing has less than 100 years - I'm guessing the first ASCII table was only 8 bit? or maybe even that was luxurious - Have you used Forth? What do you think about stack based programming languages? - What about the history of void/zero throughout science? - What about for debts and stuff like that? - Which pieces of v1 did you mostly code yourself vs other areas, who else worked on v1 team? - How did you develop code at that time, given there was no cvs/git? Did you send mail with the updated code? - She almost discovered Benford's law (too many nines?)
