I guess securely wiping storage media wasn't a thing eh?

Writing a custom music replay routine for #BendixG15 to play "At Doom's Gate": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=no0CkQk7id0 (relevant bit starts around 6:40 or so)
This stuff immediately reminded me of The Story of Mel from The Jargon File: http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/story-of-mel.html (if you know this file you're officially an old fart)
People of the #Demoscene: You're always looking for challenging and interesting platforms. Here we have one... I'm expecting some "wild" wild compo entries. I think we have to resort to using the emulator here though.

Sean Haas at @adventofcomputing is working on an #LGP30 emulator!
https://www.patreon.com/posts/lgp-30-updates-126466620 and https://lgp30.org/ and https://github.com/WizardOfHaas/LGP-30
...and Dave from #UsagiElectric is refurbishing an #LGP21, so they'll be working together to iron out edge cases in the emulator.

I have to laugh - late last night after watching #UsagiElectric's chat with Eric Schlaepfer, co-author of "Open Circuits: The Inner Beauty of Electronic Components", I popped the book in my shopping cart. Today, intending to buy it, it's a euro more expensive!
#RetroComputing is affecting the economy!
(Yes, I bought the book anyway. It looks too good to miss.)

Have been following all the #usagielectric 's Bendix G-15 saga and this is the best epilogue I could imagine!

Managed to watch the latest Usagi Electric video tonight. Just fantastic!
I have never seen a paper tape puncher in action before, and wow, just wow 😲 That thing was insane. Also, I had never really appreciated that there was 5 level and 8 level tapes. In hindsight it makes sense, I just never thought about it 🤔
Well worth a watch!

#usagielectric video Repairing a 1956 vacuum tube computer Bendix G15: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8P48899B1WA
Learning the details of the Bendix G15 system architecture leads me to believe this system allowed creating some beautifully optimized code. Or rather the opposite: Naive code would lead to massive delays due to the cyclic nature of the memory. Having to wait for data would lead to massive slowdowns if code/data wasn't aligned properly. Fun stuff! I bet some nerds got the kicks from making their manager's code run in 1/3 time.
Random tidbit from the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bendix_G-15 Wikipedia article:
Apparently Bendix G15 was the first computer Ken Thompson ever used. -
