Next up, Gen-X programmers trying to use the card reader.
- salawat 5y agoI always wanted to do that actually.
- emsy 5y agoYeah same here, I also always jokingly wondered why the CS curriculum doesn’t include history of CS, similar to history of wizardry in Harry Potter but the older I get, the more i think this would be a reasonable idea, if it would discuss what we tried and what did and didn’t work.
- tata71 5y agoOr worked until we needed *
- alexvoda 5y agoTotally endorse this idea. Also, I'd also like to try using a card reader and puncher. I find punched tape even more fascinating.
- KptMarchewa 5y agoMy university offered history of mathematics and computer science as a humanities elective.
- melony 5y agoCall me old fashioned but back in my day we used punch cards.
- numpad0 5y agoYou 3D printed that Among Us task thing!?
- telesilla 5y agoBack in the day of learning sound engineering I had to learn to splice tape for a year and use the analog studios before we were allowed to use the digital studio. I am not sure I learned anything specifically that made me a better engineer but I really really enjoyed the analog workflows, even though they were so slow and painful you really needed to think ahead and be mindful.
