Typesetters in the '80s - Computerphile
推荐理由
explained the brilliant and exiting history of this paper and its recreation, as well as the history of Phototypesetters.
说明
这是2014年由Computerphile发布的一部讲解,主题归在History of computing。它讲的是history of typesetting这一支里的具体问题,而不是把整个领域扫一遍。适合按兴趣直接看、不打算先补课的人。内容上可以概括成:Professor Brailsford of the University of Nottingham describes how the university set out to print its own mathematics exam papers in the 1980s. The story centers on getting a Mergenthaler Linotron 202 typesetter to work with their own software.这些读者给出的理由,核心是:HN commenters point to it as the history of phototypesetters and a story about the freedom to control your own hardware.讲法不绑某一条新闻,过几年仍然可以当材料看。从2015年到2020年,有1位不同的读者在1个不同月份把它推荐出来,其中明确叫别人去看的有0次。适合用一集把一个概念补上的人。抓住它用的那个图像或类比,比背公式重要。如果已经会了基本定义,就把注意力放在它怎么把history of typesetting变成能跟着复述的例子。
