The latest issue of Mad Magazine (April 2023) is titled “MAD Takes Apart Technology”. The
pages include reprints of past articles that relate to computers, such as “if computers
are so brilliant” (Oct 1985), “13 things you never want to hear from a computer guy” (May
2005), various y2k, and some 50s/60s tech humor. I posted the cover photo here:

66 years ago, in 1957, Mad magazine had Donald E. Knuth's first published
article!
"The Potrzebie System of Weights and Measures"
Some fans consider his later works, such as "The Art Of Computer
Programming", to be even better.

Does it include a reprint of Donald Knuth's article "Potrzebie System of
Weights and Measures"?
