RIP to Pinball great Lyman Sheats who programmed classic pinball games like Monster Bash, Medieval Madness, and Attack From Mars: https://www.ipdb.org/search.pl?searchtype=advanced&ppl=Lyman%20F.%20Sheats%20Jr.
Ada Lovelace is called the first computer programmer because she translated a paper written by one man, about another man’s work, using example programs written by that man from two years prior that she modified with a lot of his help. All of the fuss about Ada being the first programmer is about this translated paper.

New malicious hardware
A new form of malicious hardware: CPUs with circuits that won't allow it to work if moved to some other brand of computer.
Does this have an effect on software freedom? I don't see that it does, but it is nasty in any case.
