Input and Output

In this episode, Steve explains how computers talk to each other behind our backs, Helen co-writes a song with a popular internet search engine (if you can’t work out which one, Google it) and Matt brings an Oscar-winning algorithm to the table:
- Steve's bit (00:56)
- Matt's bit (16:18)
- Helen's bit (36:24)

SHOW NOTES:
Unfortunately our show notes are too big for Acast's margins to contain... Head to the episode page (festivalofthespokennerd.com/podcast/series-2-e…) to see them. If you're looking for the API that Steve and Matt mentioned, try stevemould.com/api.

Corrections and clarifications:
- MikoKisai (and many others since he first noticed it...) has kindly pointed out that at various points, Steve gets his acronyms wrong: API is short for application programming interface, not application protocol interface. Cheers Miko!
- Steve Howe also pointed out an error from Helen: A major and F# minor are the "same" key, not A major and C# minor as she said.
