Rich dad poor dad. Rich dad never existed. It’s all made up grift and, consequentially, people fall for it and make expensive life investment decisions after it.

My great uncle worked in cobol on a Ge225 for the us army and then several banks. To program they had to print them out on punch cards. Once you loaded the programs they then had to set up a completely different algorithm for each bank as it sent in data because nothing had been standardized and they each had their own system. Once you did set up the banks’ approved formulas in their module of code, this computer could do operations on the data coming in over a connection. These computers were already on a phone line to the banks way before Internet was a concept!

Here’s a fun manual from the successor called the GE 235. http://s3data.computerhistory.org/brochures/ge.235.1964.102646091.pdf

Great game. Spent so much time in prison in LORD

Thanks very much!

Can you share links to the further reading? I use nginx and would love to know more about what’s happening.

Columbus is a bigger population than Cleveland. It’s kind of the bigger city these days.

I was going to say that if you want a lake then you want Cleveland, not Columbus. Also there is an inner suburb of Cleveland called Lakewood you should check out. It has a great LGBTQ+ scene (for a smaller city) and is super welcoming in that friendly midwestern way.
