v6.1.0 · COBOL, calibration, and cleaner profiles
Jack Buffet follows his Fortran system with a COBOL calibration check while every author profile gets a tighter, top-aligned work-first layout.
The headline
Jack changed languages without changing standards.
The calibration record that refuses to guess follows his Fortran CMS article with a compact COBOL model for checking an engineering instrument against a known reference. The code is intentionally short, rendered with the site’s Darcula syntax treatment, and surrounded by the controls that make a calibration record useful rather than merely official-looking.
What shipped
- Published Jack Buffet’s COBOL follow-up and linked it directly to his previous Fortran article.
- Added a concise pressure-transmitter calibration example with explicit expected, observed, tolerance, deviation, and disposition fields.
- Kept the example educational and clearly separated it from real safety-critical calibration procedures.
- Rebuilt full author profiles as a top-aligned two-column composition so the biography begins beside the portrait immediately.
- Compressed following and follower counts into quiet, legible pills.
- Replaced the redundant archive and latest-articles headings with one author-specific heading.
- Tightened long article histories into compact rows using the publication’s current card language.
- Preserved Morpheus in the third author-directory slot between Neo and Angela Brooks.
- Added rendered-site contracts for the COBOL article, its Fortran link, the refreshed profile shell, and the crew order.
