why the writing is pausing the foundations are set. the state, the guardrails, the communication wire, and the cryptographic proof engines are completely mapped out in public. Now, it's time to put down the essays, stop talking, and code the hell out of the chakra mainframe

Eku ise, sir. May the Lord grant you and the other veteran actors good health. The lessons and entertainments of the films (and music) of old are evergreen. Thank you, Mainframe et al

True. Most of the use cases I used to get when I was with a Big4, were that to help do a reverse engineering of the mainframe code, create a detailed document, which can then be used for legacy code modernisation.

The Politburo told me to spend 200 billions on her mainframe, but I diverted 10 billion to build my own goon gave and now she's acting like a 10 year old💔 I'm so fucccked, dude

Which gender is somewhat better at cooking? Coding? Makeup? Turns out women are naturally good at all activities which are unpaid or undervalued, when they are classified as 'womanly virtues'...but when they start to command money and prestige suddenly the field is overrun with men, and women are pointedly excluded - sometimes absolutely prohibited from entering them. Once you see the pattern you cannot unsee it! And yes gender is about economics as well - not just woolly notions of fairness and equity. Besides the examples given in the piece here are a few others - some of them were pointed out by the readers of the column - The one thing which patriarchal men always boast about is their superior physical strength, so why is it that in remote corners of the country it is always the women and girls who carry water (a full water container is extremely heavy) over kilometres on end. - Mehndi at weddings was typically applied by women but now that weddings are multi crore businesses with huge payment to vendors, suddenly men have begun to dominate the field - The early computer whizzes include the great Grace Hopper whose inventions include COBOL which served as the backbone of computing for business (and still does in mainframe computing) - Not just in luxury hotels but even in traditional weddings all cooking related contractors (from Kashmir to Tamilnadu) are men. Interestingly most of them (including the celebrity chefs from hotels) will say that they don't do the cooking in their homes. Had written this column a few months ago but was reminded recently in a discussion on classical music. Most of what we call classical music and dance was preserved for the coming generations by the tawaif and Devdasi tradition. Till it was outside the respectable category, the women were the main characters and the men were the supporting players. Once it became mainstream, the men muscled in. Just think about it, no veteran male classical singer or player is spoken of without the Ustad or Pandit or Maharaj honorific - it is more or less unthinkable to do it. For many female artists it is used only occasionally if at all. For instance, think of how Gangubai Hungal or Kishori Amonkar are spoken of. (As an aside, two books that give a good glimpse into the tawaif tradition are Tawaifnama by Saba Dewan and यह कोठीवालियांँ by Amritlal Nagar) Women are not incapable or lacking in skills... they are simply systematically excluded from anything that gives them money, power and prestige. Culture, values, traditions are the ways used to control them. So many things hide in plain sight! What are men and women good at - The answer may surprise you @livemint @PenguinIndia @mileeashwarya

GM X-World, Fresh from the neon city, I grip my glowing blade — Cyber-Knight LVL 99 reporting. I stand ready, pressing [E] to interact with destiny. The Archivist looms, but I hack the mainframe of doubt, loot upgrades, and push toward the final raid. Affirmation locked: My resolve is unbreakable. Today we conquer and build empires! Quest accepted. Let’s claim victory!

Between the 1960s and 1990s, IBM was a formidable force. It was most innovative and was at the top of the food chain. But then they stopped innovating and evolving. And now they are nowhere to be found. Lost its former glory and market cap and still sells the old mainframe crap.

Its about the pendulum of Mainfram compute vs Personal compute. In the begining it was mainframe. Then it swung roo personal then back. Now thwir doing their dame best to keep it at Mainframe. That forcrs a new peridime of from energy peoduction up compute. A hybreed.

More than 80 percent of all financial transactions run on mainframe systems. AI can translate cobol code, but it cannot convince even a small bank to come out of it. Mainframe experts still and will make more money than so called AI engineers. Live in your own bubble
The biggest danger in this AI era is for the 35-45yo workforce they just don’t get it

it really is. imo - it's also why we're going to end up wtih "a network of neural networks" in the end. the mainframe AI era is ending.
