Not sure how am I suppose to title this, but YouTube just recommended me something quite interesting, a channel named This Is
It’s nice that YouTube already recommended me something fresh to my homepage even only one day after I remove some of my channel subscriptions
I will be honest, the only one reason I clicked the video was, because Linus from Linus Tech Tips was in the thumbnail, just look at him

Oh yeah, also that multi-threading word in the thumbnail. I was like, do they have multi threading in a 200 year old computer?! Then I realized Turing Machine wasn’t invented(?) until around 1945
Don’t quote me on that
The interesting thing is, this is actually a channel owned by Austin, I realized it when reading the comment section where he thanked Linus for hosting the episode
Also, hey this is Austin! is like his tagline, so it made sense… the name of the channel
I personally think that episode should be in Techquickie, I mean the origin of
I can clearly see Austin got inspiration for This Is channel from Techquickie, and this is becoming really confusing with the name of the channel, why you named it this way, well
I can see a big potential from This Is channel (See, confusing right?
I will be honest, I also got inspiration for a similar channel as this one
So yeah, idk what else to talk about… oh ya, the content
The content is interesting, it’s hard to determine the origin of something, because more often than not, thing came from not only one source, but a multitude of source that after some period of time becoming one… that’s unnecessarily complicated
Basically what I am saying is, there’s probably a lot of theories of the origin of computer, or computing for that matter
So, because idk what to put in the title section of this post, I just gave that theory a name, it probably already had a name, but I can’t seem to find it, so who care (I do)
So, for that… don’t really write a tesis based on this post’s title
Also, about the content itself
It’s interesting to see how a computing machine have a precursor of a textile machine. I can see myself (Being the lazy af that I am) making a tool to help me with a boring-repetitive task
Only in this case, that tool is a precursor to punch card (A kind of memory) therefore computer. And over the next hundreds of years can compute a fully textured 3D graphics, even a hologram (Shit, I need to finish my Hololens 2 post)
I can relate to this
I probably watched TV about
If you create a software using another software, how do the first software got invented?
Like chicken and egg problem. Let’s say, if you want to create a calculator app you would need a visual studio, but how do you make visual studio? Or the first visual studio for that matter?
I know Golang (A kind of programming language by Google) initially written in C++, then its iteration was written using the prior version of Golang, so it built onto itself using itself
Okay, this is getting out of topic fast… I guess I already cover everything that I wanna talk about, so…
Bye! This is Hari Anugrah~
