I believe last when I was about nine. I do remember having to use multipunch to make some needed characters, from a big chart on the wall.
That was for ALGOL which had more characters than Fortran.

Too good to use a 6SN7 dual triode?

Yes.

Take a DSP bright guy and an analog bright guy and sew them together at the hip?
Seriously, I don't understand why there aren't more folks like you describe (well, I _do_ understand, but I have to use a bit more cynicism than I like). Perhaps you need to do as Joerg suggested, and get one (or two) bright kids, and a consultant to tie them together or something.

Hey, Speff, I thought you were a 1-man shop. Growing?

there's no friggin' "r" in "pahk"! nor is there in "cah" nor is there in "Hahved" nor "yahd".
i have pahked ma cah on Mass Ave around Hahved. some other places around there also. not recently (i am now renting out our condo in Waltham, so i don't get down there much anymore).

What!? You never used an 001 or an 010? I saw an 001 - I think it was while on a tour in a hallway in IBM Armonk - and actually got to handle an 010, which was the first "electronic" keypunch, or so I was told.

I still think about driving around in Boston in the late 80s, hearing the DJs go on and on about getting tickets to "the hot concert", but they'd never say who was playing. I thought it was pretty odd to be promoting a hot concert and never say who was playing.
I later figured out it was Heart.
Or being downtown and asking around for a good restaurant. We kept getting steered to "Jurgan Pock" with much gesticulation and hand waving directions from other pedestrians. Eventually we seemed to be where we were supposed to be, but still couldn't locate the place. I found myself staring at a big sign that said "Durgin Park" and it took a second to realize that that was our goal.
I think anybody from the west or midwest that's spent much time on the east coast has a ton of such stories. I've got a ton more of 'em, myself. It just never ends.

You don't have to be from the midwest. I grew up in New York City, and when I asked for directions in Boston's underground trolley system that they call a subway, I was told to take the pack aah. It took me several turns to figure out that the platform guard meant "Park car", short for "car with 'Park Street Station' on the front".

Amazing the number of people who will tell you they know DSP. I've used some trivial FIR questions to filter out such people. The most obvious test is you set all the tap coefficients to be positive numbers, then ask the so called expert to state any interesting characteristics of the filter. It stumped many a MIT grad because people just don't think with their brains anymore. They think tap coefficients are something that pops out of a computer. Who writes them down and expects analysis in your head?
Oh yeah, I used to do telecom. ;-)
Oh, we had them in college (and high school) but I preferred the 029s. They worked. We only had 029s in IBM (I think I was the only one who used them and not often).
They usually get artists who are very much self-supporting (i.e., plenty of people want to buy their stuff), actually.
As to "why" ... well, basically because the idea of having buildings designed strictly for objective functionality with no consideration for subjective aesthetics to save literally a penny on the dollar strikes me as a bit inhuman, I suppose...
And I think it's clear that all the way back to the founding fathers there's always been support for spending public money on art -- the White House isn't just a big boring box, you know --, it's just that Oregon codifies a minimum amount of public money to spend on it.
But as I say, I freely admit that this is a leftist-liberal-weenie viewpoint. :-)

You *youngster* you bet you used those new fangled transistors
Flip-flops are defined by 6J6's rn't they ????
Well, I've used both 026's and 029's As for Flip-Flops, I'd suggest using relays...
Sometimes. Maybe.
It's inhuman to tell another human what to do with his property.
There was no artist tax, particularly on private property.
It certainly is anti-liberty. :-(
That's why -- as far as the government is concerned -- it's never really your property anyway. :-) I know, I know, the constitution says different... but just try not paying your property taxes and see what happens!
In the same sense as lots of other taxpayer-funded government programs that you or I don't personally support, yeah, it is.
Personally I think the only real danger is "death of a thousand cuts" -- I need my 1% for art, you need your 1% for soldiers' barracks, someone else needs their 1% for handicapped access, etc... sooner or later it's real money!
Silly argument.
We aren't only talking about taxpayers. This sort of nonsense is applied to private property, too.
Soldiers are right there in the Constitution. Look it up.
When I was young I had a vacation job at an industrial electronics company. Electronics back then meant there was a diode or something, somewhere in there. The flip-flops in one electrical cabinet I assembled consisted of large contactors. When Q went from low to high ...
