Yeah, that was some system. I don't miss the languages as much as the system itself. You read the directions and wrote the program, and it worked.

I had a job once programming in Fortran 77 on a VAX 11/780. That was a nice machine!

I learned programming in college by writing programs in Algol-60 on a Univac 1108. My, how time flies!

Re: Tao. Check out The Tao of Programming[^] I learned a lot from it. :-D

It's all a matter of how you define "folding". Of the 3 dimensions, I simply try to minimize 2, subject to the constraint of the height of the drawer where I keep clean sheets. ;)

Wouldn't the latest sunrise of the year be the right time to start the new year? According to my calendar, the latest sunrise occurs on January 6, so Happy New Year! :-D

"It's not what we don't know that gets us into trouble. It's what we know that ain't so." It's a quote from somewhere (I don't remember where I read it.). I'm thinking of phlogiston, or the aether.

I know you believe you understand what you think he wrote, but what you read is not what he meant. ;)

You get a drink for "hardware", but not for "software"! What gives? :confused:

Yeah, I used it, too. It was good discipline for writing concise programs. ;)

Real programmers used TECO to edit their Fortran-77 programs.

Funny, I thought Trump won the election.... ;P

Cool!:cool: Now I don't need bash. ;P :laugh:

They already do it to me with Chrome. When I type www.microsoft.com, Chrome displays the message:

This site can’t be reached

www.microsoft.com unexpectedly closed the connection.

Typing www.microsoft.com in Edge gets me there, no problem.

Chrome is piggy even on newer equipment. I have an i5 (4 cores) and 8 GB RAM, and Chrome slows down my system.

Javascript + JSON?

I was programming in C with the Lattice compiler around 1984 when Microsoft bought that compiler and turned it into Microsoft C.

I actually worked in Modula-2 for 10 years. Very clean language, easy to work with. Sad to say, we changed languages when we moved from DOS to Windows in 1996.

My cousin who lives in Texas says it's a third-world country.

18, in 1969, in my first Computer Programming course in college. We learned Algol-60 for the Univac 1108.
