The original Altair BASIC is only an interpreter; there is no compiler
available.
The interpreter requires 4K minimum to run.
The interpreter is assembled from source on a PDP-10 with at least 128K (and
preferably more) of 36 bit words,because it's implemented as local system call
macros in PDP-10 assembler.
Bill wrote the basic framework, Monte Davidoff wrote the transcendental math
functions, and Paul Allen wrote the PDP-10 code to do the assembly.
NB: I worked for Paul building Living Computers: Museum+Labs and working there
as an engineer from 2003-2018, then till 2020 when we closed due to the pandemic.
I've seen the original code, with named attributions.

A story I heard thirty-odd years ago about Bill Gates' purported programming ability: When MS started making money from their MSBASIC compiler, they started hiring real staff. One of them was tasked with working through the various functions that BASIC does, such as opening files, sorting arrays, and the like. When he looked at the sort routine, he exclaimed, loudly, "What idiot wrote this, it doesn't do anything!" Bill was in the room at the time, wandered over and had a look at what they were working on, and said, "Oh, the sort routine. I could never get that to work." Apparently it was not a career-limiting action by the programmer. Cheers, Gary B-)

I had LOGO, PILOT and BASIC on my first Atari when I was a little kiddo in the early to mid 80's. Born in 1977. I had some books to go with them. So, I read the damn books. Started programming! Now, wrt AI, well, perhaps nobody needs to buy books anymore because the damn thing has already "ripped them off", so to speak? >> Engineering schools are even more that way.

My first exposure to a real computer system was a DEC PDP-11. I
remember the first time I saw an Apple II running LOGO. Somebody tried
telling it to do a file I/O command without a floppy in the drive. It
ground away for a few seconds, and then produced an error message --
of course.
What was that error message? I was expecting something like “DISK
ERROR” or “I/O ERROR”. Instead, it said
I’m having trouble with the disk.
To me, that was like a splash in the face with a pail of cold water.
The idea of an error message phrased in plain, approachable language
(using a first-person pronoun, even) instead of technical terms?? That
was a revelation.

That > was a revelation. Unfortunately it's not the kind of revelation I welcome. Back in my mainframe days, I learned to hate catch-all error messages; they're the sign of a programmer who's too lazy to try to help the user. If something goes wrong, I want to be given some clues as to where to look. But more and more these days, your typical error message is "Something went wrong." Nothing more. This kind of conduct should be condemned. Think of it from a support person's point of view. A user calls and says, "I have an error message." "OK," you reply, "what is the message?" "It doesn't work." That's what the user would have said anyway - we've just wasted some time, and we still have to start the same old game of Twenty Questions. I'm not saying that we should go back to the days of cryptic error codes. But an error message can be both friendly and helpful. For your case, how about something like "There is no disk in the drive" or "The disk is write-protected"? And then follow it with an error code for those of us who know how to interpret them. Users shouldn't be made to guess what the computer already knows. -- /~\ Charlie Gibbs | In this world there are \ / <cgibbs@kltpzyxm.invalid> | two kinds of people: X I'm really at ac.dekanfrus | 1.

This kind of conduct should be > condemned. This was not like that though, was it? On systems of that era, you would typically get something like “DISK ERROR” or “I/O ERROR”. The plain-language message was no less specific than that. Do you want more detail about what went wrong? Perhaps a CRC validation failure? Sector-addressing failure? Missing address/data marks? Invalid GCR/RLL encoding? That kind of low-level detail might be helpful to somebody (perhaps a hardware engineer) trying to fix the problem. And perhaps it should appear in a system log somewhere. And it wouldn’t have mattered much in this case, anyway, since it would have been obvious to anybody‡ sitting or standing in front of the machine, that the most likely cause was the fact that there was no disk in the drive. ‡Anybody who had made much use of floppy disks on micros, anyway.

Iirc, BASIC had a fun error. I cannot remember the damn exact phrase, it was something like expression too complex or something.

The BASIC was about too complex, and it was a little odd to me.

I was in the CS program - but I found a part-time programming job and found that I preferred the Real World, so I dropped out and turned that part-time job into a full-time career. I wasn't much into staring at battleships either. ;-) -- /~\ Charlie Gibbs | In this world there are \ / <cgibbs@kltpzyxm.invalid> | two kinds of people: X I'm really at ac.dekanfrus | 1.

Oh I dunno, maybe 30 years in the industry working with probably hundreds of different programmers.

And my statistics differ - CS graduates are not majority of computer programmers. At best, they are plurality. Regardless, the point was not industry, but audience of five particular newsgroups.

Well, the majority of people in programming have some kind of STEM degree, not necessarily CS. For example if you can do electronic engineering or advance maths then programming concepts probably arn't going to be a big deal for you though I have seen plenty of code written by engineers and while it works it tends to be messy. More a case of get the job done fast so we can get on with the real work rather than create something efficient and maintainable.

It helped that at that time (early 80s) almost no one had a CS degree. My wife never finished college, but had a very successful programming career regardless. pt

I got my BSCS in 1983 (which included two years of postgrad CS classes[*]). Never was laid off, and got to work on very advanced projects for the next forty-plus years, many of which leveraged the postgrad coursework (mainframe OS, crypto, distributed systems, MPP systems, virtual machines, etc). [*] three years learning the PDP-8 and HP-3000 architectures and associated languages (self-taught) during High School resulted in blowing through the undergraduate CS requirements by the end of my sophmore year. The postgrad classes were particularly useful, as they were taught from contemporary journal articles (Lamport, Diffie-Hellman, RSA, Hoare (CSP), et alia). Most of my age-mate colleagues at Burroughs Pasadena plant in the 1980s also had CS or EE/CS degrees (mostly from midwestern colleges).

Why does Mozilla Firefox update itself just about every week? I use Firefox because it came installed with the Linux version I use. The most recent update now requires me to sign in with my Firefox account address ...@yahooxtra that I lost without warning over ten years ago when Yahoo and Xtra parted company and my address became ...@xtra.co.nz Google Chrome has over 60% of the market. Is there any reason why I shouldn't change to Chrome? Why does the Freedesktop Platform replace everything, (999 MB) every time Calibre is updated? How do I find out if this Platform services anything other than Calibre on my desktop? I can't think of any reason not to update Calibre using Calibre itself when it advises of updates.
