Jetzt beginnt wieder die Zeit, #Helden des #Krieges zu feiern. Wie lange es wohl bis zur nächsten #Panzerparade durch #Lemgo dauert?
Und wann gibt es den #Fortran und #Cobol #Veteranen Tag, ohne die die Menschheit das Jahr 2000 nicht überlebt hätte?

Nice!

Marianne Bellotti wrote an excellent book on maintaining legacy systems called Kill It With Fire.
In this blog post, she talks about why it's hard to migrate the SSA math from COBOL to Java. The two languages do numbers and math differently.

Good read on the computer systems at the Social Security Administration, and why DOGE is going to fail to modernize them. Written by people who know how to do this kind of work, and who understand the SSA.

auf jeden Fall werde ich bei unserem nächsten Teamwork-Day einen Slot "#COBOL für Frontender" anbieten :-D
soll ich meine #COBOL-Journey verbloggen?
Hab meiner Mutter erzählt, dass ich mit dem Gedanken spiele, aus Jux #COBOL zu lernen.
Ihr erster Gedanke war, dass ich mir das doch von meinem Arbeitgeber bezahlen lassen könnte

The Coding Language Caught in DOGE's Crosshairs
@clive speaks to Brooke Gladstone about #COBOL and manages to touch upon the gendered roles of coding and tag #GraceHopper and #FlowMatic on his way to explaining why “modernizing” old code on this scale cannot be done in a few months, why old code works well, and why #AI won’t necessarily help them do it well. #OnTheMedia

@linuxnews Letzte Woche mit einem Kunden gesprochen, arbeitet in einer Krankenkasse. Sind dabei von #Cobol auf #Java "umzustellen". Hat sich die Deutsche Bank schon von OS/2 verabschiedet? Oder: Welcher historische Zeichensatz wird in Überweisungen verwendet?
Man will es gar nicht alles wissen.

Mind blown. You can run IBM #zos on a PC with a personal edition license.

And it has IBM #COBOL inside it. I don't understand why this was so hard for me to find. Looks like I need a new machine (linux host, 1tb drive space and then enough oomph to run a VM)
Streaming data support for #COBOL. Adds a processing mode to augment Batch and Transaction style processing:

#OnThisDay Venus_de_Milo, the famous #Greek #Sculpture, was discovered (1820) by a peasant.
Grace Hopper led development of #COBOL (1959).
Birth Anniversary of American #Biochemist Melvin Calvin (1911) - most famed for discovering the Calvin cycle along with Andrew Benson and James Bassham, for which he was awarded the 1961 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
