Sorry, all out. Just traded my last datum for a hundred gross self-sealing stem bolts.
Yeah, but 35% of all statistics are made up.
This is still a joke mind you, but whose justice?
It was being built before or just shortly around the time that C was being made.
Per sources found on Hacker News:
“The spacecrafts’ original control and analysis software was written in Fortran 5 (later ported to Fortran 77). Some of the software is still in Fortran, though other pieces have now been ported to the somewhat more modern C.”
There’s good discussion about it here also that may indicate that this is the ground software and was written in Fortran V, not Fortran 5. To my mind though, C was still far too new at the time for it to be the smart choice here, and I’d assume custom assembly along the lines of what was needed for the AGC is needed here.
Well, the tech behind the computer suggests the lack of a compiler, for one thing. I’d doubt very much that there’s even an assembler.
The solar eclipse from Monday.
I genuinely had someone stop and ask me why you can’t see the moon during an eclipse because “it’s got light in it right”.
They’re soon to replace our HR manager.
It’s useful for UltraVNC to pass through key combos like alt-tab without triggering them on the local PC.

Only his corpse. Not him.
They don’t recognize or value software patents because they aren’t recognized by the government where the project is run from.
I can’t, he’s dead.
With mint frosting!
It’s very incredibly lit, fam.
Look in the mirror for something invisible?
God, if this ends up with the steam deck 2 powering a standalone index 2 with redesigned knuckles 2 that can be used standalone as a Steam Controller 2…
It’s a fantasy, absolutely. The controller part especially probably wouldn’t work. But… I can dream.
