Ah yes analog computers. And you think chasing down a bad expression in today’s programs is tedious, you haven’t seen nothing. 😂🤣😂

The story of computing 'bugs' being an artifact of computing hardware, not software (from the relatively brief period when the two were inseparable), never fails to make me a little giddy.

A modern-day motorcyclist without a face shield and a nascent computer architect would respond similarly to "you've got bugs in your shit."

Ah yes, Grace Hopper and the rogue moth I do believe. Enchanting story. And if I’m not mistaken, the moth can still be looked upon in a computer science museum for a good jolly.

She’s just sorting out my cables I’ve saved that I thought might be useful for the past 20 years.

Back in the sixties you had to bathe in asbestos dust before you could do any kind of electrical work. It’s why the innovation was so high.

The fact that there’s undoubtedly more compute power in the Bluetooth chip in my AirPods Pro case is just a bit crazy to think about. Imagine trying to find a problem in that mess of wires shudders

Makes you think what computing will evolve into in the future. I'm hoping for star trek crystal chips.

Nah. Nuclear mom making plates of spag bol in her ultra modern, sci-fi kitchen (with her radioactive hand).

Professor in my introduction to low level computer class (all TTL logic, but bird nests like these for the norm) loved to come up and bounce his hands on the wires while you had to demonstrate your circuit (successfully) for lab credit.

General Dynamics had THE best graphic design back then. Done by Erik Nitsche.

I've done mad debugging jobs in my lifetime, but I would not touch that. Hat's off to the lady engineer. Or anyone else dealing with that stuff.

This was before packet switching electronics. Each path was discrete. This made physically troubleshooting wiring problems easier.
