A #ComputingHistory question that came up today: what is the origin of | (the vertical stroke) as bitwise OR in PL/I, and thence to the C family of languages?
I haven't been able to trace it further back, and interestingly in logic it was the "Sheffer Stroke", NAND (although Wikipedia claims that Sheffer actually used it for NOR instead?) There does not seem to be a logic or typesetting convention that birthed |.
I don't know enough about early IBM keyboards to know what other characters might be available.
The choice of & for AND instead of ^ -- it's right there! -- is similarly unclear.

I miss the optimism of the 1990s and early 2000s.
For a while there, it seemed as though humanity had finally figured its 💩 out and would be moving consistently forward from then on, and in a century or three our descendants would be building starships and exploring the galaxy.
All that hope is gone now.
this guy is my age and he looks like a fucking loser from my high school days

Hello, #SFBA!
After careful consideration, we have decided to limit our federation with Threads.net. This means that, while existing connections to Threads accounts will remain in place, most Threads content will no longer appear on SFBA.social. We have more details on the information hub.
We look forward to hearing from you, and welcome your input. Thank you for being awesome, and happy posting.

Mark Zuckerberg lies about content moderation to Joe Rogan’s face
In a nearly three-hour interview with Rogan, Zuckerberg attempts to rewrite history. Conveniently, this aligns him with the Trump administration. But it’s not political, he promises!Elizabeth Lopatto (The Verge)

Among all his crimes, Donald Trump was found guilty of falsifying business records to conceal illegal campaign contributions, and today he was sentenced to no fines and zero days in prison.
The US truly is where justice goes to die.

Here's a good tip from the City of Pasadena for the #EatonFire
"Additionally, an update from the City of Pasadena - Public Agency : "Stop Using Leaf Blowers. The use of leaf blowers contributes in the spreading of toxic ash and other chemicals from burned structures and debris from the Eaton Fire."
(Watch duty lists facebook.com/share/p/15pM6Ju6z… as the source, link, but I don't want to log in to check)
Bet that tip applies to the rest of the #LosAngelesFires and other urban fire zones.

In the history of technological revolutions, there are moments that challenge not only our understanding of what is possible but the very nature of reality itself. Google’s latest refinement to its quantum computer, Willow, may represent such a moment. By achieving computational feats once thought to be confined to science fiction, it forces us to confront bizarre new theories about the fabric of the universe. Could this machine, built from the smallest known building blocks of matter, actually provide evidence that parallel universes exist as some at Google claim? The implications are as profound as they are unsettling.
