Good interview with McIlroy. Fix this:
Goldstine, as in the citations, not Goldstein, as in the body text.
Also, the text mentions CDC 1620. I don't think this existed. Either it was IBM 1620 or CDC something else.
I'd be just as happy with clear readable type, but the content is the thing.

Love the aesthetic. There was another ezine like this years ago focused on cybersecurity, I’ve forgotten its name now but the ASCII art involved was top notch.
Does anyone have any idea? It was definitely when Twitter was still Twitter as I remember reaching out to them about their ASCII art.

Maybe you're thinking of Phrack [1]?
I wonder if there'll be another edition of it, and if yes what it would look like, now that the AIpocalypse seems to have reached security research...

Edit to add, apparently one of the ThugCrowd people is part of tmp.0ut so that would explain why my mind immediately went there.
