    @ajsadauskas @luca Here's a good article on Hartley Computer: https://ia.acs.org.au/article/2017/acs-heritage-project--chapter-34.html"David Hartley (not to be confused with the British computer scientist of the same name) started his working life in 1966 as a civil engineer with Brisbane City Council. His work later took him to Namibia in southern Africa, where he was introduced to computing while conducting mathematical modelling of rainfall in the vast Okavango river basin, using FORTRAN on an ICT 1500."When he returned to Australia he decided that computing was more interesting than civil engineering. He started Hartley Computer in Brisbane in 1974 to develop software for the accounting profession, on the rationale that accounting could be easily computerised but that many in the profession did not realise that...."The new software was very successful – it was the only software in Australia designed specifically for small accounting practices. Hartley also designed SHEILA (System by Hartley for Entirely Integrated Ledger Accounting) for larger organisations. The venture included building hardware (the Hartley 3900) and an operating system. Both the hardware and the software were very innovative....“The operating system was called RT86, a ‘true pre-emptive multi-user multi-tasking operating system for the 8086 chip. It was launched in 1980, 15 years before Windows PCs had that capability.“Hartley Computer was one of the first mini/PC computer vertical market successes in the world, with ultimately 250 staff and 3,000 sites in seven countries. In the process I became known as ‘the father of computer client accounting’, and we won several awards. The success was killed by hubris and a messy divorce. Big lessons, only partly learned at the time.”

    Mozilla: New #Firefox #Extensions must disclose #Data #Collection #Practices.The devs will be required to disclose any new extension's data practices in the manifest.json file using a dedicated browser_specific_settings.gecko.data_collection_permissions key beginning today. Mozilla will also require all extension developers to adopt this framework in 2026.https://extensionworkshop.com/documentation/develop/firefox-builtin-data-consent/#taxonomy#it #developer #tech #media #engineering #news

    Wait, #openai is valued at $500 *billion*?Are you kidding me? I wouldn't value it at more than $1 billion and that's being optimistically generous.Of course there's a lot more to the article, which is informative, but the $500B is shocking for an environmentally damaging free product which plagiarizes existing works to function.https://www.theregister.com/2025/10/15/openais_chatgpt_popular_few_pay/?td=rt-3a#ai #tech #waste
