Eric BariauxLast week, the #DoiOS conference took place in the Nemo Science Museum. During the breaks, attendees were free to explore the museum.
There was only one cabinet dedicated to tech and I saw this PET 8032SK there, a model I did not recognize.
Launched in 1980, 3 years after the original PET but 2 years before the #C64, it’s the first #Commodore with a separate keyboard (hence SK reference). It uses as 6502 processor, from the same family as the 6510 in the C64.

Crazy Eddie's Used ComputersI declare that today, Nov. 19, 2025 is the 50th anniversary of BitBLT, a routine so fundamental to computer graphics that we don't even think about it having an origin. A working (later optimized) implementation was devised on the Xerox Alto by members of the Smalltalk team. It made it easy to arbitrarily copy and move arbitrary rectangles of bits in a graphical bitmap. It was this routine that made Smalltalk's graphical interface possible. Below is part of a PARC-internal memo detailing it:

La matemática Michèle Audin (1954-2025), especialista en geometría simpléctica, falleció el pasado 14 de noviembre. Miembro del grupo OuLiPo desde 2009, escribió numerosos artículos y algunos libros sobre matemáticas y, sobre todo, ensayos y novelas centrados fundamentalmente en la historia de la ciencia. Mantenía, además un sitio web sobre la Comuna de París.
