I bought a numbered print in 1993, the robot coming out of the egg and have it framed in my office, it's great!

I would love something to reply to WhatsApp or other messages with a prepackaged response, something like "I'm driving", "In a meeting", it could be customizable from the phone

Nice, no Compile option though? Is it an interpreter? I tried a Hello, World, and the (Input,Output) after the program name choked it. Nice job!

They could be using some kind of format-preserving encryption, but then they would have needed an unhashed version of the password to generate this "phone input" field.

Perhaps nitpicking, but this is because of a bug in the leap second implementation, not in the leap second per se.

How about the old Casio PB-700 up to the PB-2000 that were programmable in Basic, C and Prolog?

Recently we talked in our OS class about the 68K and its lack of MMU, this article provides great insight on those days!

Oh yeah, and I have a Tinney signed print of the robot coming out of the eggshell. I also have the magazine.

As a CS student in Guatemala in the 80s, Byte was like news from the cutting edge of technology. We used to get like 5-10 copies for the only store that sold them, and they went fast. I had to literally keep up with their shipping schedule in order to get my copy.
I've missed the deep technical articles, and fighting with my PC Magazine-reading friends about the superiority of our magazine.
Just recently, I was wrestling with the idea of discarding my old Byte magazines, but I really couldn't throw them away, some of the articles are still very good to read. I still have the Byte CD-ROM, wonder if it would still work?

Re:Ask HN: What is the oldest computer that you still use for production?

We have an IBM RS/6000 43P circa 1996 still running, doing production email services. No hardwaree problems at all!
