That sounds so familiar for a developper, and though it was written a couple of centuries ago. Brilliant mind.

Long ago, for an Air Force base not too far away, I helped develop a simulation of the F-16 STOL Maneuverability and Technology Demonstrator aircraft flight control system in the language that bears her name, Ada. I also wrote a white paper for a research effort entitled Automated Verification and Validation Test Case Generation for Ada. Very interesing stuff, in both cases.

Does remiss mean to fail the second try as well?

Not if you were sky diving.
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

It is actually the feminine term for 'divorce'. Men get divorced - women remiss!

I still use hyperterminal to configure - not so old - routers and switches.

Some robots in the industry still use a derivate of hyperterminal (connect, transfer program, backups, some management functions and the possibility to execute things per command line)

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Used it a while back, to get output from Temp Sensor controllers to write a syslog server. Dusted off an XP VM.

I never liked Hyperterminal. Grotty little piece of crapware.
I've been using Putty now that I find that my preferred terminus emulator won't run on Win 10.

Ah, fond memories of reading the caller id data from a pbx serial port! I actually made a nice little phone log application out of it, tracking the call activity of a dozen or so collectors. I gave it away and let the owner eventually make some money from it.
