Please don’t be shocked, but I’ve been reading old #UNIX Review magazines on Archive.org, as one does.

@occult the Unix hairstyle is interesting

wivax was a VAX at Wang Laboratories in Lowell, MA where Cadmus was based.
The TELEX number printed right next to it is also interesting. This represents telegraph infrastructure and the infant internet, side by side in a transitional moment.
@occult I remember seeing USENET posts from the Beijing Telegraph Agency around the late 1990s, and bta.net.cn is still registered to China Unicom (who appear to still use the Telegraph Hall in Beijing, although it no longer uses it for sending telegrams)

@vfrmedia It’s wild to have witnessed these areas connecting all over the world one by one pre-modern-infrastructure and protocols.

From a 1991 SunExpert magazine article about “What’s to come” for network protocols. The article depicts a man traveling into the 2020’s, seemingly unaware of the chaos he’ll find.
He’s going to pass @prahou traveling back in time to 1991 to get some mint condition Sun workstations.
Hey #Fediverse! See you all at the 1985 California Computer Show.

40 years later, people are using Claude to find bugs in programs. What's old is new again.

Aged poorly.

@occult They previewed DRAM prices and the return to the only terminals we'll be able to buy in three years.

@occult Every new language, tool, platform, library, and framework in the last 40 years was going to cut development time in half. Must be close to zero already even without Claude.

@occult 2029 is still a few years away. We might see a retro-futuristic revival.

It's summer, 1985.
I get a call from my buddy to open this month’s issue of UNIX WORLD magazine to page 110.
I see they are preparing to standardize the C programming language.
I say, “This is a good thing" under my breath.
I am still punk as fuck.

They should re-create this steel-bound UNIX reference manual.
