My daughter read a book about Ada Lovelace, which generated discussion about Alan Turing, which generated discussions about computers, which showed me how much kids not only don’t know about computers, but how unlikely they are to understand the guts underneath the icons.
Over the weekend, I completed my personal hack-a-thon on a project to demonstrate the depths of a computer, but in a simpler way. I may give it to my after school computer club that I run at a local middle school.
Pretty simple as my entire assembly language parser was written as a
single reduce
function.
