  • In the compsci building at uni, there is a museum of sorts in the hall to the labs. At the beginning of the storage section, there is a 20Mb storage device. It is the size of a washing machine, I have no idea how much it weighs, but it has to be in the 100’s of kg range.

    Sitting on top are much more modern devices, 5.25"/3.5"/2.5" drives; I haven’t been back for a decade to know if they kept going as tech improved.

    We tried a lot of techniques…

    Rigid schedules, no schedules , big feeds, lots of little feeds…nothing seemed to work. For one kid, he wouldn’t sleep unless he was next to one of us; one of the others wanted to be in the same room but not the same bed…

    But once they hit ~3 it was like a switch flipped, and now they all sleep with no issues.

    Well what the fuck is a machine language?

    Is is data transmitted between parties (machines) to convey information? HTML fits this definition.

    Do they mean machine code? Because some call machine code “machine language”.

    Either way the answer is D.
