eighty-column mind
(foldoc) | eighty-column mind
The sort said to be possessed by persons for whom the
transition from punched card to paper tape was traumatic
(nobody has dared tell them about disks yet). It is said that
these people, including (according to an old joke) the founder
of IBM, will be buried "face down, 9-edge first" (the 9-edge
being the bottom of the card). This directive is inscribed on
IBM's 1402 and 1622 card readers and is referenced in a famous
bit of doggerel called "The Last Bug", the climactic lines of
which are as follows:
He died at the console
Of hunger and thirst.
Next day he was buried,
Face down, 9-edge first.
The eighty-column mind is thought by most hackers to
dominate IBM's customer base and its thinking.

eighty-twenty rule
(foldoc) | eighty-twenty rule
80/20 rule
The program-design version of the law of
diminishing returns. The 80/20 rule says that roughly 80% of
the problem can be solved with 20% of the effort that it would
take to solve the whole problem.
For example, parsing e-mail addresses in "From:" lines in
e-mail messages is notoriously difficult if you follow the RFC
2822 specification. However, about 60% of actual "From:"
lines are in the format "From: Their Name ", with a
far more constrained idea of what can be in "user" or "host"
than in RFC 2822. Another 25% just add double-quotes around
"Their Name". Matching just those two patterns would thus
cover 85% of "From:" lines, with a tiny portion of the code
required to fully implement RFC2822.
(Adding support for "From: user@host" and "From: user@host
(Their Name) " brings coverage to almost 100%, leaving only
really baroque things that RFC-2822 permits, like "From:

when IBM began to reinvent itself after the triumph of the killer micro.
