@Gribnit <serious> You try using a terminal over a 300 baud serial line and you'll see why the utility names are so short. </serious>
Well yeah.
Oh crap, I put this in the jokes thread.

Aw crap, I missed it.

@Bulb But what is this speedy 300 baud you're talking about? We had 110 baud, and we liked it.

Wow, nobody has to carry anything? You guys are lucky. I bet it requires special I/O devices tho. Good luck participating in a Hollerith sort, hippie!

The slowest I ever had was 9600, and that was a genuine serial line (with fuck knows what on the other end). It was painful, but you could run TCP/IP over that with SLIP. I later got a 14400 baud modem, which was a lot nicer (and let me use an actually competent ISP).

I remember someone booting an actual modern Linux with a real teletype attached. Took forever...

@dkf What is this modem of which you speak. I'm talking about a 20mA current loop direct connection.

Of course. Which is exuberant luxury. A box of cards is a more practical and cross-compatible means of transfer.

maybe he was just lacking space ...Imo he just needed to pound through it and hash out each issue as he entered into it.

Well, everyone deserves to pause for a break now and then.
In any case, his job has been slashed and he's been sent home and that's the end of it.

@Zecc On the plus side, now that he's escaped his former career he can apply to be a page up at NBC

That would multiply his prospects. But expecting to go like an arrow right to NBC is a heck of a system request.

@Tsaukpaetra you have a calculator key?

I'll admit it's not very useful.

Kinda handy, if you need some adrenaline maybe. Running
calc.exe
on a certain type of engineer's unsecured console is a good way to find out what it looks like when they shit themselves.

Must be one of those "I don't say it the way you do" things. Care to explain, and thereby ruin it for everyone else?
Hip, hip, hooray (array)!
More often it's a hashmap in drag.

The only difference is how much slower than cache they are.

@LaoC no-one will ever need more than 1 PB of L1 cache!

@Gribnit gotta admit though, those Apple M1 devices do run pretty fast.

Normally, one would expect 're to map to either are or were, not both simultaneously for different referents of who.

@HardwareGeek "Normally" sounds like a French word to me.
