This is excellent and makes a good case for Ada being the first programmer, many thanks for sharing. I've also stumbled across the science museum Babbage archive:
The trickiest part was figuring out how to exploit fixed-point underflow to do the equivalent of if(a>4.0) when the only conditional I could use was if(a==0), using arithmetic operations to force underflow for all a>4.0
A 1948 report on the conversion of ENIAC from being programmed by a complex wiring of cables and setting switches to the more modern stored program. The writing is accessible, but the introduction and section on test programs are probably most interesting.
How hard is it to print to pdf on a PC/laptop and transfer to the remarkable? I used to do that on my ancient Kindle DX, which I remember being a bit clunky, but not too bad with wireless sync. It was nice avoiding stacks and stacks of paper.
