Is going back to the start of computers better to get a wider knowledge about them?
maybe a little bit but really learning history is just for funcode: hidden language of computer hardware and software that book covers the basics you need and some history
>>106440567For sure. After coding with punchcards I became the third most knowledgeable person in Machine Learning
>>106440567Only if you're into esoteric forms of computing, otherwise its useless knowledge. But the idea of going back to the basics is good. Your words, ideas, thoughts, only make sense if you have a solid foundational knowledge base thats not shaky and not irrelevant.
>>106440567Definitely.
>>106440567https://youtu.be/q-gpM-KfVng?feature=shared It’s really not so different!
>>106440567protip: filters and hashes
>>106440567I learned about computers by starting with the transistor and concepts of logic. Pic related was a week worth of effort. It's an 8 bit computer with Von Neumann architecture.If you want to learn more of this, check YouTube for Ben Eater, he built this entire design on breadboard and explained every module in depth.
