Wisdom in SpaceHumans are allergic to change. They love to say, "We've always done it this way." I try to fight that. That's why I have a clock on my wall that runs counter-clockwise.

csThe Coding Language Caught in DOGE's Crosshairs
@clive speaks to Brooke Gladstone about #COBOL and manages to touch upon the gendered roles of coding and tag #GraceHopper and #FlowMatic on his way to explaining why “modernizing” old code on this scale cannot be done in a few months, why old code works well, and why #AI won’t necessarily help them do it well. #OnTheMedia

@nazgul #GraceHopper would be so proud, she'd salute that person!
Modern #TechStack|s are convenient but they also make #developers lazy and result in the #enfattening of #Software and #Games.
- Like we had entire Music Videos on the spare space of a #NeoGeoCD which meant this needed to be streamed, and mind you this is redbook CD Audio, not fancy ATRAC3 or Opus...
Nowadays we have shitty #WebApps that eat up 100+MB just for a #WebView and which are instantly useless once they don't have a high-speed, low latency internet connection!
- People like #GraceHopper and #MargaretHamilton propably wouldn't even be mad, but just disappointed, knowing how a modern #IDE eats more computing power than the entire human race had at their career peaks...
And don't even get me started on all the #WastefulComputing aka. "#AI" #bs and #Shitcoin - #Scams!

@sekka@shark.community But one of the best tracks - abeit #Blues, not #Chill or #Jazz - is Blue Mary Blues Real Bout - Fatal Fury Special (Neo Geo CD Version) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3XTuBZiC4w https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=-3XTuBZiC4w Hard to believe they were able to get this done with a 135 kbit/s CD-ROM drive and 2 MB of cache! #music #mukke #mood #KingOfFighters #OST #GameMusic #Soundtrack #NeoGeo #NeoGeoCD
@inthehands if it was as easy as those #CryptoBros / #TechBros think, do they think people like #GraceHopper would've been pulled from retirement trice?
Manny DexterYears ago, when I was studying for my #COBOL cert, I attended a lunch where Rear Admiral #GraceHopper spoke. I lost my souvenir nanosecond in one of my moves, but I remember the lightbulb moment when she said picoseconds were the size of ground pepper bits.
I'm having a get-off-my-lawn moment. Storage wasn't cheap. It mattered *how* you did things because you were constrained by RAM, and execution time, too.
I'm afraid to look for Hopper on any official website because I don't want to see a 404-compliant page.
AngelaWie viele #ITPionierfrauen kennt ihr außer #AdaLovelace, #GraceHopper und #HeddyLamar? Wer waren die #Eniac-Frauen? Das alles kann man super aufbereitet und zeitlich eingeordnet hier mal nachschauen

P.S: Im Quiz gibt es eine kleine Verwechslung findet ihr sie?
Martin Rust@hacks4pancakes What did I miss, where was the memory of admiral #GraceHopper erased a week ago?
One accurate measurement is worth a thousand expert opinions.
