"capable of handling thousands of users across thousands of virtualized or native systems": Yeah, the systems that I often work on can usually handle those kinds of work loads with extreme reliability and efficiency without even breaking a sweat. Meanwhile the server folks will look at that kind of stuff and almost wet themselves.
On "cards": Open a terminal session or a command prompt on almost any system ("new" or "old"), and it will generally default to being 80 columns wide. Guess where that default comes from!
- SuperPaintMan 8y agoI knew about 80 just being a standard but put into the context of punch cards it just makes sense. Same thing with cobol, max line length is 80, first seven are stripped from compile, comments start on line 7. Who thought 72 char lines were a good idea in a language? Guys that dropped a few too many stacks of cards. Thank god for the continuation character.
