It makes me wonder: what gov't agency is still using punch cards.

In my carreer I have seen plenty of system integrations working on ftp'ing request response documents to file folders on "SaaS" systems while the SV boys were considering SOAP obsolete and overnight Cobol and RPG mainframes document sincs while they were waxing about microservises and noSQL.

They should use rust instead of floppy disks

I love the idea that the headline suggest that Sean Duffy and his family at the completion of their multi-month road trip going on another one.

This one, where the tour stops are ATC data buildings, where they only stop in to swap out floppy disks for USB drives.

The folks over at The Onion are kicking themselves right now because they didn't think of this headline first.

> The greatest nation in the world deserves a state-of-the-art air traffic control system, and under President Trump, we’re delivering just that

They are signalling Trumps involvement so I will assume it must be another vanity project he wants to stamp his name on. I look forward to hundreds of grounded planes due to cloud based weather reporting not being available because of a borked server update or misconfigured wifi adapter.

Next they will be migrating off Internet Explorer 6

hopefully not with pendrives

great thing to read before a flight

arent they supposed to phase out punchcard computers first?
