Kids can't use computers (2013)
- nanis 10y agoMy ZX Spectrum 48K came with a great presentation on casette tape (which ran on the computer) that explained CPU, ROM, RAM, ALU, Basic etc. I see nothing similar to that today. On the other side was a bunch of sample basic programs you could study and learn from. Today, a lot of people who pass themselves as programmers are only capable of pushing pretty buttons ready-made for them but not much more. http://www.worldofspectrum.org/infoseekid.cgi?id=0009230 http://www.worldofspectrum.org/infoseekid.cgi?id=0009230

- d2p 10y agoActually; I was under the impression HN told me if I was posting a dupe. I never figured that searching before posting was a requirement. Maybe it should be written on the submission page for the benefit of other idiots like me?
- greenyoda 10y agoAccording to the HN FAQ[1], re-posting an article is OK after a year has elapsed. [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html
