CLR James once asked 'What do they know of cricket, who only cricket know?'
I think the same applies here.

I remember in 1976 we were using mark sense cards to write programs, and we definitely had to slash the letter O. I think we also had to slash the Z to distinguish it from a 7.

You can add Canberra to that list. I know several apartment blocks that are close to collapse, one Owners' Corporation is currently suing the builder (and the local government authority) in a case before the Supreme Court.

In contrast, the worst that could happen with compressed air was a burst pipe; this would not be a good thing to be standing near, but since the pipes ran through the sewers the chance of this was very small.
Even more reason to avoid standing near a burst pipe.

It's a shame the author never actually ran the code, it has bugs.
For example, the Factorial next() function should be:
return new Factorial (index + 1, value * (index + 1));
Stream.iterate (Factorial.SEED, Factorial::next)
