Created in 1990 by Tim Berners- Lee, the web quickly became the most used hypertext system in the world, and most browsers default to indicating hyperlinks with an underline. To answer the question of why the underline was chosen over competing demarcation techniques, the thesis applies the methods of history of technology and sociology of technology. Before the invention of the web, the underline–also known as the vinculum–was used in many contexts in writing systems; collecting entities together to form a whole and ascribing additional meaning to the content.

    BF y el asombroso mundo de los lenguajes esotéricos Narciso Martí Oliet Universidad Complutense de Madrid, 2018 Resumen Entre los miles de lenguajes de programación que existen, hay una especie que se ha hecho más visible en los últimos años, la de los lenguajes esotéricos. Se trata de lenguajes que no pretenden facilitarle la vida al programador o al menos facilitar la programación de ciertos sistemas, sino precisamente todo lo contrario; en la creación de muchos de ellos ha primado la diversión sobre la utilidad. En esta presentación veremos un panorama general de esta especie de lenguajes, prestando un poco más de atención a BF, uno de los lenguajes más famosos entre ellos.

  • Next and Open Systems Standards Next and Open Systems Standards
    ® NeXT and Open Systems Standards NeXT and Open Systems Standards Standards have become the watchword of the corporate technology manager. And rightly so, because multivendor computing is now the rule. To survive, a computer company must ensure that its products connect and communicate easily with other equipment. With this in mind, NeXT focuses on adherence to industry standards and multivendor con- nectivity. From the start, we built the philosophy of compatibility into all of our products. And we had an advantage. Since the NeXT™ Computer was designed more recently than the products of other major competitors, we saw what standards were actually accepted and which ones truly provided user value. We then incorporated these accepted tech- nologies into NeXT systems. Our view is simple: • Use standards whenever possible. • Invent new technologies when users are dissatisfied with current industry offerings. • Make our new technologies coexist in a heterogeneous world. This document builds a structured model of where key industry standards are required and discusses where they are incorporated into all NeXT systems. We’ll begin with the operating system, the subject of unrelenting UNIX® wars between groups like the Open Software Foundation (OSF) and UNIX International (UI). From there, we’ll highlight the additional standards above the operating system that affect users every day. Before we construct the architectural model we’ll use throughout this document, we also want you to know our biases: The ultimate standards-based computer would be a perfect clone of whatever computer system had the largest market share. This product would bring no surprises. Of course it would also provide no added value to its users.

The format is positioned to replace JPEG as the de facto image compression Sierra (10.13) and above. While claims of higher encoding file type, touting many modern features and better compression efficiency have done little to sway users in the past, Apple’s ratios over the aging standard. However, while millions of devices hardware and software support across millions of devices across the world are already able to produce HEIF files, digital potentially allows the HEIF format to eventually replace JPEG forensics research has not given the format much attention. in mainstream use. Contemporary Apple devices save images As HEIF is a complex container format, much different from traditional still picture formats, this leaves forensics practitioners from the camera directly in the HEIF format by default. This exposed to risks of potentially mishandling evidence.
