I like robots and monkeys, but I'm afraid of robotic monkeys. I'm building the programming language / calculating tool Frink:

    Frink isn't the only Units of Measure aware programming language, but it's my favorite.

    A rare report about infrared observations of beyond what CCDs can see: it has stayed very bright, so the fading in visible light is obviously due to the formation of circumstellar dust. (Which should dissipare as time goes on, me thinks.)

    Odgovor korisniku/ci @FringeDoctor
    Yes we try! A few AAVSO observers do J and H, and we attempt in Meudon. But this is hard, as it is so enormously bright in the . The brightness of is stable is JHK, which points as an obscuration by circumstellar dust.

    Once again, Alexander Yee () is very gracious and modest. He's the one who *wrote* the world's best software for calculating pi to trillions of digits. It contains a lot of very clever and difficult algorithms. Congratulations!

    The world record for the most digits of Pi has fallen once again. Timothy Mullican computed 50 trillion digits of Pi running from April to today - beating out 's computation of 31.4 trillion digits. Congratulations to the new record holder!

    LOL I kinda love very very very very certainty figures like the probability of this black hole merger as in: "300000 billion times the age of the Universe" as predicted by this LIGO black hole merger:

    Somehow, those Voyager engineers were good enough that if the spacecraft failed, it would shut itself down and point its way back to the earth to receive further instructions on wakeup. Every damn time. For 42 years.

    Did you know that we don't even have and can't even make plutonium anymore to power these missions? And this article was 7 years ago.

    If any of us writing software today think we know anything about reliability, the Voyager 1 and 2 engineers made their spacecraft fail-proof over *42 YEARS* since launch. They are better than you. The spacecraft are still working because of plutonium.

    Here's the skinny: My twin went to do a roll to calibrate the onboard magnetometer, overdrew power and tripped software designed to automatically protect the spacecraft. Voyager 2's power state is good and instruments are back on. Resuming science soon.

    My cat somehow created a new folder on my desktop and named it "Zb" by sitting on my keyboard and I was gonna delete it but then I thought "what if this is the actual monkey that writes all the works of Shakespeare"

    I spent several hours trying to figure out what was wrong in Frink's regular expression matching. I couldn't match literal parentheses characters. It turns out there were invisible useless Unicode "RIGHT TO LEFT" AND "LEFT TO RIGHT" markers in the middle of the line.

    A couple of times a year, the sun aligns with MIT's "Infinite Corridor", a phenomenon called "MIThenge". I've updated my predictions for the sun and moon for 2020:

    A group tested Amazon's facial-recognition software on Denver City Council members. Nine of them were falsely identified as sex offenders, and in some cases the system was 92% confident they were a match

    Today, I build programming languages that incorporate the lessons that I've learned from so many great teachers. Frink tries to help you be better at physics and science and text processing and math and basically everything. 6/6

    I considered naming my programming language after her (or one of my other awesome most-loved teachers.) It might have been called "Cash" or "Barbour" or "Lovitt" or "Archibald" or "Millspaugh" or "Bartlett". Each of them deserves their own chapter in "best teachers" stories. 5/x

    I loved on that computer all summer. I remember sleeping in the room with the computer the first night so I could get up at 7 AM and start typing in programs. But I couldn't tell anyone that I had it. I was so, so lucky. She gave me a head start that I can't even quantify. 4/x

    My teacher saw how much I loved writing programs. And here is the really amazing part: SHE SECRETLY ARRANGED WITH MY PARENTS TO LET ME TAKE THE COMPUTER HOME FOR THE SUMMER. At risk to her job. I had an expensive rare computer at my house! I was SO lucky. 3/x

    She gave us all copies of the programming book. (I'll find a link to it later.) I DEVOURED it that weekend. I started writing programs on paper. 90% of them never got entered into any computer. I was hooked. I just wanted to write programs. 2/x

    In 5th grade, I walked into the classroom and THERE WAS A COMPUTER. A TRS-80 Model 1. Nobody had a computer then. My teacher (Mrs. A) let us play with it for a few hours and then said "you don't get to touch the computer again until you've read this programming book." 1/x

    Okay, quote tweet this with your best teacher stories - the one that made it all totally worthwhile ❤️🍎📚

    Witnessed the most amazing thing on the train to Edinburgh yesterday. A guy boarded in Wigan & sat opposite me. He went to sleep for an hour. When he woke up he bought a sandwich, ate it & went back to sleep. (This isn’t a maths test, you don’t need to know the distance/speed).
