#Mainframes
If any of you happen to be readers and on Goodreads, one of the books I published, Of Monsters and Mainframes by Barbara Truelove, has been nominated for Best Sci-Fi of the Year and I’d love it if you could give it a little vote. ☺️

Doubt it; I bet they’re still operating on Fujitsu mainframes they don’t know how to update beyond bolting on more adjustments, so can’t do any meaningful reform. Plus they’d have to adjust long distance down, which would require subsidy no-one wants to provide, even if it would help a lot

The other thing I accomplished was finishing this entire book while I was deactivated.

It's been a really long time since a book enraptured me as much as this one did. What a fun read!

It’s mainframes all the way down (2019)

<- if it ain't broke, don't attempt to rewrite it in another language on a different platform...
It’s mainframes all the way down
Increment Magazine published an article about the curious longevity of COBOL. We interviewed Peter Wong*, an engineering lead for mainframe…

Well all I can say is that after struggling over from mainframes and minis nothing was ever really as good as anything else. It was all so clunky.
Worstar for DOS [and CP/M] was actually perfectly usable. But .....

a bank isn't stuck holding 20MB of a website+storefront that sells nothing after the company they lent money to goes bankrupt

it has football stadiums worth of mainframes and compute it can rent out for companies that DO make money

Is #IBMZDay for me? Yes. #Mainframes are cool. But also even being exposed to the terminology and concepts of a technology you're learning is beneficial for connecting the dots later.

So get some dots! 🔵🟣🟢🟠

Even if you're just #mainframe curious! It's free & online.

Just finished my infographic project on IBM and how it’s been driving innovation for over a century — from mainframes to AI and quantum computing. Check it out here 👇

Only 2 weeks to go until many of us will be in Cambridge talking about old games and the machines that ran them. For me I'll be spending most the weekend talking about one of the earliest beginnings of computer games, and you thought mainframes where all about business.

[·_·[] Seeing how many books I can cram into the end of the year amidst all the holiday plans. Was also going ham at the library.

We have the most powerful personal computers ever at home and in our pockets yet we use them mostly as gloried terminals to Big Tech mainframes

Some of these RPGs are so expansive and have so much to do, it would take years of playtime on a single permadeath character to reach the top.

Since all computers in Vekllei's world are mainframes, all video games work like old PLATO games with multiplayer elements.

He disappeared in 1975. Search digital media? Digital media then consisted of mainframes that filled buildings that were connected to teletypes getting info at 110bits/second.

Encore une fois, un incroyable Interglitches qui vient de se terminer !
Un superbe weekend passé avec tout les copaines et de nombreuses belles rencontres ♥️

J'ai osé faire plein d'ateliers cette fois-ci, et quelle bonne décision c'était si bien ♥️

Vivement la prochaine, y a déjà des idées 🔥

Malicious op code
Would instruct early mainframes

Όταν φτιάχτηκε, ήταν για τις ανάγκες των μεγάλων mainframes (κρατικές υπηρεσίες, στρατό, τράπεζες κλπ)
Τα pc ήρθαν πολύ αργότερα

But I would play it! Guess I would wait a bit to play Bit ESC on my Steam Deck. Still, nice to know you played MainFrames and liked it: it's similar to Bit ESC and it worked well on the Steam Deck on Launch.
I might be more excited about Bit ESC visuals, though...!

MainFrames is Steam Deck verified! ✅

All these cloud based systems are WAY too big and are a single point of failure for American businesses. I seem to remember back in the 80's that mainframes had the same problem.

I can’t remember who recommended Of Monsters and Mainframes but you were right, it is very good and super fun. Familiar ‘monsters’ in space! Sentient ship AIs flirting badly! Humans humaning, in the good and bad sense! Also the audiobook is great.
