- I started programming twenty year ago coding in machine codes for Intel 8080. This microprocessor was my lucky pass to the fascinating world of bits and bytes. Years later developing various emulators of i8080 and tackling with undocumented and partially documented features of this processor I decided to collect real chips from different manufacturers and examine them using the 8080 CPU Exerciser.
- Kurt Gödel (Wikipedia)
Kurt Friedrich Gödel (/ˈɡɜːrdəl/ GUR-dəl, German: [kʊʁt ˈɡøːdl̩] i; April 28, 1906 – January 14, 1978) was a logician, mathematician, and philosopher. Considered along with Aristotle and Gottlob Frege to be one of the most significant logicians in history, Gödel had an immense effect upon scientific and philosophical thinking in the 20th century, a time when others such as Bertrand Russell, Alfred North Whitehead, and David Hilbert were using logic and set theory to investigate the foundations of mathematics, building on earlier work by the likes of Richard Dedekind, Georg Cantor and Gottlob Frege.
