Management bought us treats to celebrate CF Dev week. 😂

When writing code, few things are more exciting than finding a legitimate application for recursion. Discuss.

we'll be discussing that discussion in the discussion discussing discussions about discussing discussions.

Recursion is definitely fun, in a brain-bendy way!

In before Adam tells you to recurse this in a recursion thread, while cursing. And then, I imagine, recursing.

My question is does every cursing that recurses get more quiet like an echo?

I mean, with Adam? Clearly nothing he does gets quieter. lol

I’m just thankful he does it WITHOUT USING CAPSLOCK 😛

yeah like, it is strongly implied though 😂

if this doesn't make you happy you are either a) dead inside, or b) born after 1990

I don't remember windows1... I remember 3 and 3.3 (with it 30 something 1.44MB 3.5" disks.... and before that I remember DOS 4 / 5 / 5.1 and OS/2, too. IO had been into computers since the early 80's.... maybe I was still in "Commodore" land then? Vic20 / C64 / C128 / C128D ann then the Amiga... I think I had an XT fdor about 6 months before the AT came out and let you use RAM above 640k with Desqview and Qemm for multi-tasking.... ahh the good 'old days....

My first one was one of these puppies https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silent_700 followed later by an Archives PC running CP/M with MBasic, had to hack around with peek and poke to work out how to move the cursor around and clear the screen

this was mine, we had the cassette version and I remeber doing a sponsored swim to raise money for a keyboard which was an option to the base kit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Research_Machines_380Z

Actually had a hybrid experience of what's already been mentioned- a TRS-80 (model I, Level 2) with cassette drive, but then also the heat-sensitive printer. Those rolls were few and far between. Almost had a Kaypro, but it was a little pricy at the time

LOL - SHELL OIL

pfft. BOOBIES

My first was a Tandy 1000sx https://nerdlypleasures.blogspot.com/2011/08/tandy-1000sx-best-overall-choice-for.html

I had xtree (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XTree) on that baby..... and my favorite game was castle adventure: https://dosgames.com/game/castle-adventure

PCjr, here! Learned BASIC from Family Computing magazine.

My grandfather was at IBM, and I inherited his prototype IBM PC as my first machine. (Mind you, I didn't get it until 1994. But it makes me well acquainted with 1980 technology.)

My first computer was a TRS-80 Model 1. It had 16k of memory. I eventually bought the expansion kit which gave it 16k more for a total of 32k.

Anybody have one of the handheld TI programmable calculators? I guess that might be my actual first.

ye-old Commodore 64 was my first (with a tape drive) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commodore_64

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TI-99/4A Complete with the voice synthesizer so that games could mock you for making bad choices, and tape deck to load and save games and run more complex software. I think I was in third grade. I learned some basic on it and copied some simple programs out of a magazine, but it was mostly for games and for my dad to do some accounting stuff

dunno it's slack or chrome 104, my windows desktop is soooo sluggish today

Continuing the earlier talk: The first system i worked with (programming the reinforcement schedule for about 20 Skinner boxes)
