On this day in 1916, Morgan Sparks was born. At Bell Labs, he helped usher in the transistor age by developing the microwatt bipolar junction transistor: an innovation that made smaller, more practical electronic devices possible. #VintageComputer #BellLabs

Someone is working on turning #Plan9 from #BellLabs (both the kernel and the utilities) into a literate program using a forked version of #Noweb.
So far, it's 6312 pages long(!).
This is a nifty example of #LiterateProgramming.

Peter Neumann passed away in his sleep last night, at the hospital in Santa Clara. It is currently believed that SRI will host a memorial service for him in Menlo Park in a month or so.

"The once-abandoned complex has come back to life and is protected by preservation laws. Its legacy as a site of corporate dominance and uncanny career life remains thanks to shows like Severance that make the most of its architecture."

Severance is filmed in a real office building—one that reimagined corporate life
Endless hallways. Distant departments. The hit show is filmed at Bell Labs, an office complex in New Jersey that’s just as massive and eerie—and has an iconic history in its own right.

Alt-energy tech was invented in the US. The 1st solar cell in ’54 at BellLabs in NJ.,the 1st industrial wind turbine in ’41 in VT.We could’ve owned these technologies,instead we ceded them to China. There hasn’t been an act of national self-sabotage like this anywhere in human history.
