Punch card is a cardboard card with punched out holes in it that encode information. I've never seen one. I am somewhat fascinated by the concept.

Now think about #uxn machines running programs on punch cards

you could do away with punchard entirely and just run the asm code by hand on paper.

Humans may be bad at handling large data, but they have the best branch prediction out there — intuition.
