Edsger #Dijkstra, a classic software engineer who visited the U.S.S.R in the late 1970s, said in a public speech defivered in the Grand Hall of the Academy of Sciences in Leningrad that he regarded the fact that the U.S.S.R. produced #IBM computers as the biggest U.S. victory in the #ColdWar.

“Every #byte has an atom”
@gerrymcgovern hat uns Einblicke in seine Vorstellung einer (#digitalen) #Zukunft gegeben. Sie ist #lokal und nutzt minimale #Ressourcen . Echte, nachhaltige #digitalisierung ist mehr als nur “#green #tech”. Sie fordert von uns, dass wir #Ressourcen min. statt immer mehr auszubeuten. Der Fußabdruck des #it Sektors sind eben nicht nur #co2 #emissionen.
Stay tuned for #NachhaltigkeitsAtlasIT den wir mit Unterstützung der #Postcodelotterie verwirklichen können.
What a time, what a great magazine. Finger on the pulse. #byte
Tor Project představil nový šifrovací algoritmus Counter Galois Onion (CGO), který nahrazuje zastaralý systém tor1. CGO přináší výrazně lepší ochranu proti manipulaci a sledování, zajišťuje forward secrecy a silnou autentizaci přenášených dat, přičemž zachovává vysokou výkonnost a nízkou režii provozu.

Both Willow and #USVideo advertise their products as if reasonably knowledgeable people who aren't computer experts can use them. We make no doubt at all that this is true, but it's not simple. It’s going to take time. As Roberta says, before you can #genlock, you have to understand what genlocking is all about; and you only think you know that.
First came the# Willow manual: she reports that in 12 pages of text, there was not one single sentence that she understood, Part of it is the terminology, but some of it is the English: she’s not at all sure some of the sentences actually say what Willow thinks they say. The USVideo manual wasn’t a lot better. (j p) #Byte #ByteMagazine #Anno1990
check out the byte visual archive, this is an amazing presenation choice
But I'll break this off at Koko’s behest. #Koko (born 1971, with a potential span of more than 50 years) is the world’s most studied gorilla, and bids fair to be its most pampered Mac user.
She has an American Sign Language vocabulary of over 600 words. The pet of the #GorillaFoundation, she uses “a standard #MacII enclosed in a special gorilla-proof housing,” constructed of ½-inch polycarbonate for bolting to the floor of her trailer.
Apple's #Vivarium Program has even designed a customized inch-thick touchscreen “to withstand, the 2,000 pounds of force an excited gorilla can potentially generate.”
The problem, you see, is that angry or excited gorillas tend to “run full speed and backhand the object of anger,” and Koko's arm-swing is comparable to “a 10-pound shotput traveling at 100 miles per hour.” No wonder Project Koko helped the team to “a better understanding of human-computer interfaces.”
Some users do get _mad_. (h k) #Byte #ByteMagazine #Anno1990

The standard #IBM operating system #MVS (for Multiple Virtual Storage), was cranky and primitive. While you could run it from a terminal, a lengthy session with MVS might leave _you_ feeling like a punched card. (t y) #Byte #ByteMagazine #Anno1990
