I love that there are people reblogging this that probably think this is a joke :3
I'll just leave this link to the jacquard machine and people can learn all about punchcard looms that are still in use today, the basis of binary
Computers are very simple you see we take the hearts of dead stars and we flatten them into crystal chips and then we etch tiny pathways using concentrated light into the dead star crystal chips and if we etch the pathways just so we can trick the crystals into doing our thinking for us hope this clears things up.

question for old computing tumblr: i've seen my fair amount of paper tape/punchcards in person myself, including some that were punched recently for applications largely at the computer history museum in mountain view CA, but... was the paper for punchcards/paper tape always kind of yellowish if it wasnt dyed a specific color? was it a brownish-yellowish stock paper like you'd see on a paper folder, or is present-day punchcard stock just old?

i feel like i'm in a groundhog day-esque nightmare in which i wake up in panic, drag myself out of bed, get an oat milk mocha, do bar prep all day, come home, and sleep, just do it all over again the next day..... trying to stay optimistic 😃 when i was in college, all i wanted was to get into a good law school—and now i've graduated from a great law school and i'm studying for the bar!!! past me would be so THRILLED!

the mighty nein solstice reunion may FINALLY give us the chance to check in on yussa. WHAT planar bullshit has unfolded because of the unique spatial qualities of tidepeak tower and all the arcane artifacts therein. did allura immediately wrangle him at the onset of the apogee solstice because of a fraught track record with magic surges. is wensforth ok.

reading about the history of computer science is very fun for having thoughts about the technology of the game's setting (which i assume must exist in the same level to one extent or another outside of krat, even if puppets are a monopoly of krat's. i mean, geppetto is not even from krat and he's been established to be a genius inventor even before he came there and invented puppets)
do you think puppets are programmed through some form of punched card on a real version of the analytical engine. do you think ada lovelace existed in this world or that she at least had an equivalent.
