Been doing computer science since the 1970ies. Started with Fortran II, progressed to Algol, pascal, C, C++, Perl, and now Rust - along with many others.
I have sailed some, in my job with the Danish Sea Surveying and later for pleasure with The Seastallion of Glendalough.

@syklemil @cstross @bodil @jsbarretto my first time in an EV was horrid. My left foot pressed the brake pedal with the force I normally use for "the third pedal". The passengers were quite unamused. They were not in a better mood the third time it happened. I quietly gave up and returned the EV to the parking space. Total distance approx 15 meters.

@bert_hubert@eupolicy.social this also shows the advantage of having a civil service that is not politically appointed

@nixCraft@mastodon.social in the early '70-ies I used disks like those, but a little smaller in diameter - 19". 4 platters in a removable stack for 30MB. The drive was the size of a washing machine and used 3 phase 400v at 16amps. We had instructions not to turn it on if the temperature was below 19° centigrade as the coating risked flaking off. Now I have 2TB on a usb-stick 🤔

@UrbanEdm@mstdn.ca @dcdeejay@mastodon.online @dirtyoldtown@mefi.social in most of western Europe ambulances are paid over your taxes. It might be a private company running the service, but the bills are not paid by the patient. Transport to and from the hospital is another matter. You pay for that yourself, unless you are very ill.

@theogrin@chaosfem.tw @Daojoan@mastodon.social I have had to handle the 2038 issue back in the early nineties. Calculating when a person will be able to retire passed the magic 2038 and causes all sorts of "funny" effects. The y2k problem was far earlier. People tend to forget that dates are not just 'now' but can be in the future. Hence my sneering at the firms trying to sell us y2k updates to our software.
