Does the text output of your Fortran code look dull? Cheaply increase the value of your software and attract new users by restyling with these newfangled graphics primitives.
As seen on this Stanford CS Technical Report published in 1978.

@amoroso That scan is really messed up — it looks like a ransom note!

@hisdeedsaredust LOL indeed.

@amoroso Nice mention of SNOBOL for text processing on page 10 :)

@arclight After all there wasn't much else for text processing back then.

I recently looked at some pre-web scraping tool I wrote in Lisp in 1986, to extract real-time weather data.
It was... complicated.
I thought, "Sheesh. Coupla regexps & we coulda been outta here in 10 minutes, tops."
Sheepishness at your past efforts is a sign of progress.

@weekend_editor What kind of servers did your tool get the data from?

@weekend_editor What kind of servers did your tool get the data from?
Somebody at MIT had bought a device the size of a calculator that, for a subscription fee, got weather info via radio. Of course they put it on the MIT network, and so of course I scraped it over at Symbolics.
That turned into the "weather hack", which displayed temperature, wind speed, etc. in the wholine of the lispm screen.
And then I wrote the world's silliest expert system in Joshua to *predict* weather (Cambridge only, 15 mins into the future only). It used historical weather data that I'd stored in a Statice database (also on lispm). So it was an example of hooking an expert system up to a database, using some math code (least squares fits to temperature/barometric pressure over time, for example), and logical reasoning all in one application.

@weekend_editor It made for a nice Joshua/Statice demo.

@federicobonfiglio @max @martellum ma intanto è obbligatorio pagare per chi?
Le assicurazioni sono obbligate a risarcire un premio? Il premio chi lo stabilisce?
Io se penso alla mia auto vecchia che funziona, se faccio un incidente con ragione vengo risarcito di una cifra che mi lascia a piedi perché non mi permetterà mai di ripararlaDi fatto è una tassa a vantaggio di pochi privati (le compagnie) su tutti i cittadini e i governi potranno continuare a non fare niente
-
@Paoblog lo seguo già
Sono fantastici.
Perculano Trump e gli usa con stile.
-
@max @martellum è di fatto una tassa in più ai cittadini, che non risolve niente (le cause), fa pagare un costo a TUTTI con un pagamento obbligatorio anche a chi si comporta in modo corretto, fa guadagnare le compagnie
(Ammesso e non concesso che riescano a proporre questa legge, perché chi non può pagare cifre miliardarie cosa fa? Le compagnie mica regalano soldi a chi ha la casa a rischio elevato e saranno tanti)
Evviva i governi di destra che aumentano le tasse a tutti!

@rapitadaglialieni @Yaku e d'altra parte, settimana prossima e per non ricordo più quanto tempo non è il caso di avvicinarsi in alcun modo alla lombardia, per ovvie ragioni

@ifixcoinops which is a lot of words for SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN
