Strange Loop Conference
A Strange Loop 2019 talk by Aaron Cummings on the computing systems aboard Voyager 1 and 2, which control the spacecraft and record and return data decades after launch in 1977.
HN recommends it in Voyager threads as a good talk on how these old computers have proved durable and adaptable.
