I’m trying to figure out the least sacrilegious way of tying into these lines. I wish they weren’t cut so short. I think I have to undo a bit of the loom to make some proper connections, but I don’t want to disturb more than I have to.

@mastreani if I ever feel boredom from lack of #coding, there is #Hercules http://www.hercules-390.eu/ where i can write #assembly for #ibm360 like there is no tomorrow. #High5

Bumped into this NYT obituary for Fred Brooks. Somehow I had missed it in 2023. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/23/technology/frederick-p-brooks-jr-dead.html

Frederick P. Brooks Jr., Computer Design Innovator, Dies at 91

He was a lead designer of the computers that cemented IBM’s dominance for decades. He later wrote a book on software engineering that became a quirky classic.

Considering the calories burned, it's one of the less efficient data transfers 😅 Good thing it's going downhill on the stairs...

@tim re memory patterns. On the old mainframes (#ibm360, #pdp10, #Univac110) we would get core dumps in a 4 to 6 or 8 inch thick stack of Z-fold printer paper. 132 chars wide and lines to fit the page height. Visual pattern matching was an absolutely essential skill when it came to finding interesting data. Eventually we got glass terminals and interactive tools that presaged the modern debuggers in use today.
