Obituary, Tony Hoare

I knew him when he was in Oxford and regularly came across him in conferences and seminars. #Quicksort was revolutionary, and #CSP had a profound effect on my thinking and technical analysis. He was always self deprecating and very approachable.

Edit an embarrassing spelling SNAFU

I just completed "Cafeteria" - Day 5 of #AdventOfCode in #TurboPascal, but only in #dosbox for the moment, not on the #Xi8088 because I'm at work 😅

Again, 8087 to the rescue!

I can't wait to see how long it will take on the real hardware, probably only a few seconds.

Did you know that #Pascal does not provide any procedure to sort the content of an array? Turbo Pascal did come with a very helpful example of a #QuickSort implementation as a reference, though.
