I think I posted a version of this claim before but this one is even more strongly worded. This is from Jon Peterson's "Playing at the World" on the history of RPGs and it's about the rules for resolving combat between units in Kriegspiel, an early (19th century) German wargame. It's possibly the first realistic stochastic simulation of any kind - not just a milestone in game design.

The invention of event simulation through combining empirical probability with implements of chance has no obvious precedent in intellectual history and represents a paradigm shift that underlies a great deal of the science of simulation that followed in the twentieth century.

오늘은 큰 교차로 건너서 숲길 잠깐 걸으려 했는데 오늘따라 차들도 시끄럽고 자전거랑 보행자도 많아서 그런가 샨티가 불안해 하더니 횡단보도 앞에서 건너려니까 저항하면서 돌아가려 했다. 첨 있는 일이라 당황스러운데 일단 돌아왔고 내가 리더쉽이 부족해서 그랬나 별 생각이 다 드네ㅠ 사람 많은 곳은 역시 안되겠네 우리 샨티

Blasts from the past!

I just found my *TRS-80 Model 100 Portable Computer* (to give it its full name) in a box while attempting to do some de-cluttering. I thought I'd lost this computer in one of my many moves. I did quite a bit of my PhD (writing mostly but also some coding and, of course, connecting to the university systems via its built-in 300 baud modem) using this wee computer. I have some fond memories of using this computer.

Must find some AA batteries and see if it still works. No reason why it shouldn't?

I also found my first "proper" laptop, a Toshiba T1000SE. I used to use this in my 1 hour each way daily rail commute to work in Scotland.

I wonder what else I'll find?

Question now: what do I do with these computers? Suggestions welcome!

This long-awaited update brings a UI refresh for iOS 26, and support for quote toots. Also, even device on older iOS versions get some of the UI improvements. There are many other smaller improvements and bug fixes as well, such as better support for filters. There might even be new mystery features?

A big thanks to everyone who helped out to beta test this release. Thanks to them, it is far more stable than it would have otherwise been!

NEW: U.S. banking giants and mortgage lenders are scrambling to figure out how much of their customers' non-public banking data was stolen during a cyberattack on a financial tech firm earlier this month.

Customers of at least JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, and Morgan Stanley are said to be affected.
