History

The first issue of Vector was published in 1958 under the editorship of E. C. Tubb.[2] The magazine was established as an irregular newsletter for members of the BSFA, founded in the same year, but "almost at once it began to produce reviews and essays, polemics and musings, about the nature and state of science fiction."[3]

The magazine has changed format and periodicity many times over the years.[4] It currently focuses on articles and interviews, and is published "two to three times per year."[5]

gollark: I was TRYING to make UDP/IPv6 multicast work, except the libc(/POSIX? who knows) APIs for this appear to be terrible and not map onto the actual protocols at all.
gollark: I was using socket2, which provides a thin wrapper over Windows/libc sockets.
gollark: No, the libc socket APIs.
gollark: I tried to do some socket programming in Rust™ yesterday, but it failed in bizarre and incomprehensible ways. I don't think this is Rust's fault as much as the socket APIs just being really terrible and incomprehensible.
gollark: Isn't there already nalgebra for this?
