   Google used to be better at filtering out garbage content like this. They have resources for detecting low quality content (e.g. all pages on this domain follow the same content-free pattern). I suspect that doing that wouldn't drive a

   For the curious, I found this manual[1] about programming the IBM 7090 (the mainframe mentioned in the article). The machine language and corresponding assembly code is still recognizable by today's standards. It looks pretty similar t
