We didn’t have the Intel 8080 chip that the Altair computer ran on, So Paul got to work writing a program that would simulate one on Harvard’s PDP-10 mainframe. This allowed us to test our software without needing an actual Altair.

So, basically:

We are going to write a compiler, but first we are going to write a Virtual Machine from scratch because the hardware is too expensive.

Good times.

You can consent to a federation interface without consenting to having a bot crawl all your endpoints.

Just because something is available on the internet it doesn’t mean all uses are legitimate - this is effectively the same problem as AI training with stolen content.

I think this will end up being the same case as things that end up on search engines. I.e. you’ll need to send hundreds of right to be forgotten requests to every service.

I already listened to/read a few books by jumping between the audiobook and the actual book. An app that would make both match both so you can resume in any form you want would be nice.

If you ever find out let me know, I’ve some GDPR and right to be forgotten requests to write if anyone is archiving things I expect to be fire and forget.

At my work we use trunk based development, with mandatory review before merging (enforced by tooling). Part of the review is ensuring proper test coverage and it’s enhanced by static code analysis.
