“Do not fold, spindle, or mutilate”*…

Punched cards have a long history in machine control (dating back to Jacquard) and computing (starting with Babbage‘s Difference Engine), but it was Herman Hollerith who brought them into modern computation in the late 1880s… where punch cards remained for about 100 years. From the Smithsonian’s American History Museum…

In the late 1880s, American engineer Herman Hollerith saw a railroad punch card when he was trying to figure out new ways of compiling statistical information for the U.S. Census. His first punch card, like those used on railways, only had holes along the edges. The meaning of each hole was indicated on the card. By the time Hollerith tabulating equipment was used in the 1890 U.S. Census, holes were scattered across the cards, although their meaning was not indicated on it.

Hollerith and his employees at the Tabulating Machine Company in Washington, D.C. soon developed punched cards for use in compiling information for commercial enterprises such as railroads. They and staff of the U.S. Census Bureau prepared improved machines—these devices are shown in the object group on tabulating equipment. By the 1920s, the United States had two major manufacturers of punch card equipment, International Business Machines (the descendent of the Tabulating Machine Company) and Remington Rand (the descendent of Powers Accounting Machine Company established by Russian emigré and former Census Bureau employee James Powers). Each manufacturer developed a distinctive standard punch card. IBM cards had eighty columns of rectangular holes while those of Remington Rand had ninety columns of circular holes. Tabulating machines were widely used in both government and commerce, with cards designed to meet the needs of customers. For example, checks issued by the U.S. government often came on punch cards.

When IBM and Remington Rand began selling electronic computers in the years following World War II, punch cards became the preferred method of entering data and programs onto them. They also were used in later minicomputers and some early desktop calculators. Punch cards surviving in the Smithsonian collections reflect the widespread use of computers – they announced scores on standardized tests, served as a library cards, were part of the proof of mathematical theorems, and kept medical records. Some are printed with the names of users, from university computer centers and computer clubs to the Library of Congress to Bell Laboratories…

* Ubiquitous warning on punch cards:

… in the 1950s, after the invention of the computer and its widespread business use, that everyone began to see punch cards. Companies sent punch cards out with bills: the telephone company, utility companies, and even department stores realized that they could save a step in their billing process, as well as making it easier for them to process the returned check, by using the cards themselves as the bills. By the 1960s, punch cards were familiar, everyday objects.

While company employees could be trusted to take care of the cards, the person in the street could not. Warnings were necessary. In the 1930s the University of Iowa used cards for student registration; on each card was printed “Do not fold or bend this card.” Cards reproduced in an IBM sales brochure of the 1930s read “Do not fold, tear, or mutilate this card” and “Do not fold tear or destroy.” I’m not sure when the canonical “Do not fold, spindle, or mutilate” first appeared; it’s one of those traditions whose author and origin is lost in the mists of time. Let’s consider the words one at a time, stop and take them seriously…

As we contemplate chads (of which, punch cards produced a gracious plenty), we might spare a thought for Gerald Hawkins; he died on this date in 2003. An astronomer and author, he was best known for his work in archaeoastronomy— most of all, for his 1965 book, Stonehenge Decoded. In the early 1960s, Hawkins had used punch cards to load data modeling sun and moon movements onto magnetic tapes, then into an IBM 7090. The results led him to conclude, as the book argues, that the features at the monument were arranged in such a way as to predict a variety of astronomical events– that Stonehenge was a giant prehistoric observatory and computer. While some archaeologists are hesitant to accept Hawkins’ theories, many archaeoastronomers have built upon his work. More widely, scholars accept that the importance of astronomical alignment and large complexes being planned and constructed to fulfill cosmology has been demonstrated at other prehistoric sites, such as the Snake Mound and Cahokia in the U.S.

THANK YOU ALL!!! - what errors should I check for and handle?

Thank you all for your kind, patient and educative responses when I obnoxiously post amateur questions! 💙 While I cannot make any promises because of how my brain works, I am almost ready to continue reading *The C Programming Language, 2nd Edition”. I just want to experiment a little bit with error handling, specifially how to handle wrong input (char VS. int, etc.) and also to learn to indentify code that runs the risk of overflow/underflow.

Question: what errors do you recommend checking for and handling?

Meanwhile, thank you all! 🥰

I may be stupid but...
Can someone explain to me, what's the reasoning behind Reddit sending EVERY KEYSTROKE in a comment as a separate API POST request, instead of waiting until you clikc "Send" and send the whole text at once?
This approach results in 200 ms input lag when typing, which is super annoying and distracting

La gestione dell'#Input dell'utente nei #Videogiochi è una questione molto delicata.
Se si sbaglia approccio, si rischia di degradare le prestazioni dell'intera applicazione.

Supponiamo - quindi - di dover gestire l'input della tastiera...
La prima cosa che verrebbe naturale fare, sarebbe controllare se i tasti risultino premuti durante il classico `update` del #GameLoop…
Probabilmente con una catena di `if` "infinita" che verrebbero testati ad ogni aggiornamento di frame.

#Wayland and #input methods?
Yeah, I think I paid back for what I messed up.

I wrote a description of every feature I could remember – implemented or not yet implemented – on my #blog .

With this, I'm moving on and shuffling away from the stage.

Изучаем, как работает клавиатура в Linux, и пишем шуточный модуль ядра

Часто в учебной литературе по Linux приведены скучные и неинтересные примеры написания модулей ядра. Я решил исправить этот пробел и показать, что разработка небольшого модуля — это задача под силу многим, если понимаешь базовые принципы разработки программ.

Willkommen beim Café Libertad

Hier wollen wir mit Euch zusammen an jeden 1. Sonntag im Monat zwischen 15:00 und 19:30 Uhr im Murx einen Offenen Freiraum mit anarchistischer Grundausrichtung schaffen, in welchen es um Austausch und Vernetzung gehen soll. Natürlich kann man auch einfach nur gemütlich einen Kaffee trinken, oder auch nur abhängen. Es besteht kein Konsumzwang, wenn gewollt kann selbst etwas zu trinken oder zu essen mitgebracht werden. Die Getränke des Cafés gibt es auf Spendenbasis.

Willst Du Dich beim Café Libertad einbringen oder mehr über den Hintergrund erfahren, empfehlen wir Dir den Langtext dazu zu lesen, Du findest ihn auf der Webseite des Murx und auch direkt unter murx-heidelberg.de/cafe-libert… Wir freuen uns wenn Du uns deshalb ansprichst.

Wann: Jeden 1. Sonntag im Monat, 15:00 bis 19:30 Uhr

Wo: Freiraum Murx, Oberbadgasse 6, 69117 Heidelberg-Altstadt

ÖPNV: Rathaus/Bergbahn, Heidelberg oder Alte Brücke, Heidelberg

Barrierefreiheit: Weitgehend barrierearm

Wichtig: Solltet Ihr Euch krank fühlen, dann bleibt bitte daheim, das Café Libertad gibt es an jeden ersten Sonntag im Monat und wir freuen uns Euch zu sehen wenn es Euch wieder gut geht. Natürlich haben wir wenn Ihr Euch nicht sicher seid vor Ort auch Corona-Tests und Masken.

Info: Leider ist es uns nicht möglich Informationen zum Café Libertad auch in der gut besuchten 'Demo-Info Rhein-Neckar' Telegram Gruppe zuverlässig zur Verfügung zu stellen, da genau diese Beiträge nach kurzer Zeit gezielt wieder gelöscht werden. Wir bedauern dieses unsolidarische Handeln ausdrücklich und versuchen es weiter.

"Unveiled in 1947, the MingKwai typewriter was the product of a Chinese novelist’s years long obsession to build a machine that tackled the problem of typing Chinese decades before personal computers arrived."

I can't even read stuff on it anymore since #Linux throws out nothing but #Input/Output errors.

Getting closer! Now there's triggers and back/forward buttons as well. Now reworking the main PCB to use an external antenna, and to actually support a battery. (difficult to have a wireless device without a battery...)
