Great #article on reading the #sourcecode of #legacy #software https://www.heltweg.org/posts/who-wrote-..
Excellent #talk by #sir #davidstarkey on #henryviii 's #legacy in the #uk #parliament https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVOJ59yE.. It's a not a proper talk unless you take several opportunities to down-talk the #french !
This #article really #ignores the #complexities involved in #migrating and #upgrading a #legacy #system https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2021/10/ebcdic-.. Apparently the #customer of a #bank #sued the #bank for not #spelling their #name correctly using #gdpr - in theory this means that *any* name should now be #supported by the bank. Essentially that opens up the entire #unicode space... And all #printing #complexities involved too. Non- #printing #characters ? Yep. Madness ensues.
