https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_macro https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_macro claims they go back to the 01960s, but unfortunately the reference is to a DDJ article. Is there a chance we could like run a Kickstarter to buy DDJ's archives and fix their website?
- sitkack 2y agoYou could try, I contacted the new owners awhile ago. They don't/won't even sell new copies of the archive dvd. I tried. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14345682 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14345682 but a kind soul responded to that request :) https://archive.org/search?query=dr+dobbs https://archive.org/search?query=dr+dobbs https://archive.org/details/DrDobbsDVD5 https://archive.org/details/DrDobbsDVD5 https://archive.org/details/DDJDVD6 https://archive.org/details/DDJDVD6 Sad part is that the DVD doesn't have issues going back to when it started as "Dr. Dobb's Journal of COMPUTER Calisthenics & Orthodontia Running Light Without Overbyte" https://archive.org/details/dr_dobbs_journal_vol_01_201710 https://archive.org/details/dr_dobbs_journal_vol_01_201710 I have a like 81-84 that I should just send to the IA. The Living Computer Museum had a small library that had the complete archive of Dr Dobbs, but who knows where it went after Paul Allen's sister closed it and sold everything off.
