Greg LloydDouglas Engelbart Born 100 Years Ago Today 30 Jan 1925“By ‘augmenting human intellect’ we mean increasing the capability of a man to approach a complex problem situation, to gain comprehension to suit his particular needs, and to derive solutions to problems.” — Douglas Engelbart (1962)An essay on Engelbart’s motivation, with links to video and other historical sources on his life and work.<a href="https://federate.social/tags/Engelbart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Engelbart</a> <a href="https://federate.social/tags/hypertext" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#hypertext</a> <a href="https://federate.social/tags/botd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#botd</a> <a href="https://tractionsoftware.com/traction/permalink/Blog2386" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://tractionsoftware.com/traction/permalink/Blog2386</a>

@haitchfiveOne of the yet-unexplored features of XTXT is its potential to multiplex multiple HTTP connections over a single serial link—without relying on TCP/IP.In the past, we had solutions like PPP (and later PPPoE), which allowed network-layer communication over point-to-point connections. But those were fundamentally data link layer protocols, operating at a lower level in the OSI model.XTXT, on the other hand, can be thought of as an application-layer alternative for achieving similar multiplexing, but with much lighter networking demands. It’s designed to work seamlessly on smaller systems by simply exchanging text streams—no need for OSI compliance or the overhead of traditional networking stacks.With XTXT, all you need is the ability to send and receive structured text. And most computers, even very old ones can do that. The simplicity is the beauty.<a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/xtxt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#xtxt</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/hypermedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#hypermedia</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/hypertext" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#hypertext</a>

@haitchfiveI did more work on XTXT, adding some very simple code examples in other languages: C, Assembler (Z80 and 8086), Pascal, Go, Python, Ruby, Swift. <a href="https://github.com/ha1tch/xtxt/tree/main/code" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://github.com/ha1tch/xtxt/tree/main/code</a> (the old and dirty Ruby samples are still available under the ruby.old directory, until we have newer and better ones)Notably, the Z80 Assembler version of the most basic example compiles to a binary of just under 70 bytes.
