When I was maybe seven years old I made it my mission to figure out how computers work. After many decades it seems unlikely I will ever recover from finding out.
(this post is about autism more than computers.)
@midendian when I was a kid I wondered how computers work. After a computer science degree and twenty years in the industry I wonder how the **** do ****ing computers ever ****ing work.
@midendian @lisamelton unfortunately most of the real processing usually happens on layer 8, which is unfathomable.
@midendian Well, as the joke goes, give a man a program, annoy him for a day; teach a man to program, annoy him for a lifetime...
