![Comic. [Person sitting at desk with laptop with machine labeled E-21 making “click click” noises on the floor behind] VOICE FROM LAPTOP: Hey all! Does your E-21 humidifier make an annoying clicking noise? Mine did, but I finally figured out that there’s an easy fix, so I made this video in case anyone else… PERSON AT DESK: Oh my god. Yes. *Yes.* [caption] I know there’s more important work in the world, but I feel like these people deserve, at minimum a statue.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cz73r7iyiqn26upot4jtjdhk/bafkreifdjde6wgflkeil7kf4kdh3zqk32k55rkljlwu6arzbw557ogbulu@jpeg)

The reason we know Radiation causes bit-flips in DRAM is pretty hilarious.
In the late 70s, Intel Ram was occasionally producing soft, uncorrectable errors.
Turns out, the ceramic packaging on the chip itself had a little bit of Uranium.
You know, as one does.

A retrospective of my tech career - a work-focused autobiography, basically - feels a bit vain, but I'm hopeful that it is interesting or useful enough to justify that.
If nothing else writing it up forced me to try to remember what actually happened.

Being stuck in class with a crappy calculator is one of the few times a mass of students ever experience a super limited computing device.
Even if the motivations are just games, speedups, or trying to cheat; it’s not often you get that “compute camaraderie”.
