Tables once ruled web design, with nested tables causing both creativity and chaos. Replaced by CSS for layouts, they’re now a nostalgic tool still essential for data.
A detailed article about the Ampere WS-1 clamtop computer, released in November 1985. The article discusses the company's history, design, features, and software. It also includes excerpts from magazines such as ASCII, Just Computers, and Australian Personal Computer.
In November 1789, President George Washington and his entourage passed through South Natick, Massachusetts. This article discusses what Washington may have seen during his visit, focusing on the Morse-Dana-Leach House at 3 Eliot Street, a home that was likely occupied during Washington's visit.
Distributed computing shares computational tasks among multiple machines, making it possible to process large volumes of data and perform complex calculations by dividing the workload across networks. This approach has evolved from early local area networks to the internet and cloud computing, enabling efficient and secure data handling.
Archaeologists have discovered an ancient human settlement in Tajikistan that dates back approximately 150,000 years.
Archaeologists from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the National Academy of Sciences of Tajikistan have discovered a multi-layered archaeological site in the Zeravshan Valley of Tajikistan. The site, named Soii Havzak, contains artifacts dating back as far as 150,000 years, making it a significant find for understanding early human settlements and migrations in Central Asia.
The discovery suggests that the Zeravshan Valley, known historically as a Silk Road route, was an important migration corridor for human species like Homo sapiens, Neanderthals, and Denisovans.

This paper describes the background and history of Multics Emacs, including the previous developments and the climate in which it was created. It also details the design and implementation experience, and important algorithms such as the redisplay algorithm.
The 'Books' page of FelsenSigns presents a book titled 'Me and My Big Ideas – Counterculture, Social Media, and the Future'. The book chronicles the author's journey through the evolution of social media from the 1960s to the 1980s, exploring its origins, politics, and the need for better information exchange. The author hopes to educate readers on how social media was structured for corporate benefit and how it can be reimagined for societal good.
Lee Felsenstein, a key figure in the evolution of personal computers, explores the rise of social media, AI’s shortcomings, and the golden age of engineering in his new book.

A study published by a multidisciplinary team of researchers proposes that the wheel originated in Neolithic mines of the Carpathian Mountains around 3900 B.C. The study, based on computational mechanical analysis, outlines a three-phase technological evolution of the wheel from free rollers to fixed-axle wheel design.
