@m0xee @safiuddinkhan I would like an analog UNIX, please.
@m0xee @safiuddinkhan That sure looks nice, I would much prefer wooden hardware over plastic.
Unfortunately that does not make it an analog computer that can run UNIX. Makes we wonder whether there is one.
@murks Like vacuum tube based?
I always wondered if any physical object can be considered truly digital. We can't have ones and zeroes in real world, we just consider e.g. voltage above certain level one and below that a zero, but it's not really discrete, there is noise, it fluctuates, we just don't care about that. That is why we have to use certain techniques like checksumming to make sure the information was transfered correctly from physical media.
