#ibm_360 — Public Fediverse posts

Dunno… But It definitely DOES NOT SUCK!

I like the fact that I can pick my fav emojis but it doesn’t yet seem complete…

Although I’m very happy to see that you derived this inspiration from how #Calckey implemented this a while back (Calckey, BTW, now has federated chat and is working on federated groups, FYI).

On that Platform, you select a fav emoji or two and add them to the default list of those available to you so you don’t have to surf around each time, deftly searching for your fav.

Thanks @alex, #Soapbox only gets better and better!

Now let’s go out on a tangent - shall we?

Let’s hear it for one of my great inspirations - Margaret Hamilton - because she put two bitches on the moon with only 8K of RAM.

Actually, that’s not quite accurate…

It was 2 * 4K of RAM = 4K in the command module and 4K in the (Eagle) Lunar (lander) Module.

I think it’s safe to say that’s a “Holy Fuck, Batman!”, moment of achievement. What are your thoughts?

I challenge any dev to do now, what she did almost 60 years ago -read a fricken’ card.. Write a fricken’ card bitches!

How many today can actually hold a punch card up to the light and actually read it? Lolz!

Let’s see if you can do it within those constraints kiddies, when most mainframes (like IBM 360’s) we’re about as powerful as a #Commodore_64. - Muahahaha!
