They killed it when the show just had caught steam.

It didn’t clear the return code. In mainframe jobs, successful executions are expected to return zero (in the machine R15 register).
So in this case fixing the bug required to add an instruction instead of removing one.
Just to boast my old timer credentials.
There is an utility program in IBM’s mainframe operating system, z/OS, that has been there since the 60s.
It has just one assembly code instruction: a BR 14, which means basically ‘return’.
The first version was bugged and IBM had to issue a PTF (patch) to fix it.
The EU will not tax products which are critical for the European economy until/unless there is a viable local alternative.
What I expect the EU to do is to subsidise those fledging local alternatives. And yes, this is against WTO rules, but I guess nobody cares about that anymore.
No other world leader should accept an invite to the WH. Right now it’s 100% an ambush.
Luigi should get a medal and a statue.
The underlining linear algebra routines are written in… FORTRAN.
Pl/1 did it right:
Dcl 1 mybools, 3 bool1 bit(1) unaligned, 3 bool2 bit(1) unaligned, … 3 bool8 bit(1) unaligned;
All eight bools are in the same byte.
Uh, it looks like someone has finally found some real ‘fraud’.
Until social networks are mare criminally liable for the crap they spew this won’t be turned around.
To give some context, originally a ‘nazareno’ is somebody paying penitence for sins committed since last years Easter. Part of their ‘penitence’ is to march in procession covered with those robes. The ‘capirote’ (the hood) is intended to keep those sinners (that could be important or well known people) anonymous.
I’m not sure if this is still valid today or if it’s now just a performance. Someone from the south of Spain will more about that than myself.
Uh, no. The ‘devil horn’ sign, aka heavy metal salute DOES mean that. Thumbs up is just ‘thumbs up’ (it’s an imported/borrowed sign, as far as ai know)
Not just games. Full operating systems from the 60s and 70s are being kept alive by hobbyists. Unfortunately there is no law or rule about proprietary/company specific software. In 50 years (or less) historians will know more about how the Romans did banking than how it was done in the early days of computing.

In our case, everything ‘core’: checking and savings accounts, loans and credits, credit and debit cards… anything requiring a sub-second response time while being bombarded with tens of thousands of transactions per second AND requiring strict ACID transactions end to end AND 24x7 availability with quick recovery in case of disaster.
Secondary stuff is being moved to other architectures. And new core stuff is being written in Java… and ran on the mainframe.
I am.
First, I got a three days ban for ‘prompting violence’. The flagged post said just literally ‘The Heritage foundation should be labeled as a terrorist group in Europe’. I appealed, just to get the temporary ban confirmed with no further reasoning.
But that was moot, because two days after that I got a permaban for ‘using multiple accounts to evade a temporary ban’. I just had an account, with a good number of years behind. I appealed this too, and got a ‘we are not changing this’ reply.
So I nuked my account, looked a little bit around and found this.
I miss some of the technical communities I was part in Reddit. But fuck them.
Please offer her asylum in the US.
And extend that offer to Orban, Fico, Farage, Abascal, Weidel and the rest of fascist scum.
Dear Mr. Rubio
Please gently fornicate yourself.
I don’t want a singe euro-cent of my taxes spent in the American industry.
You reap what you sow.
So you Americans are officially entering the ‘let’s build concentration camps’ phase.
Showers and crematoria go next.
