@scolopendros @PsionicFrogg @pokopakku Complicated and a lack of trust in people.

[Spk @mrSparkIX]

@PsionicFrogg @scolopendros @pokopakku It needs to be scolopendros

[Spk @mrSparkIX]

@scolopendros @pokopakku Still open to talk if you feel like it :]
Care if I add you to a GC?

[Spk @mrSparkIX]

@scolopendros Подумай об этом. Мой контакт — hey.spark

[Spk @mrSparkIX]

@scolopendros Это ситуация вокруг «DW» так тебя изматывает. Есть кое-что, что я хотел бы тебе показать, но для этого нужна безопасная связь. Я боюсь, что другие злоумышленники могут увидеть мои сообщения с тобой.

[Spk @mrSparkIX]

@scolopendros Общаться через Twitter небезопасно

Я бы хотел пообщаться с вами в личной переписке

[Spk @mrSparkIX]

@foolishnini @OSSP_WhatUp Oh my gosh nooooo :[

[Spk @mrSparkIX]

@scolopendros Ты можешь найти меня в Discord по нику hey.spark. Я в основном говорю по-английски.

[Spk @mrSparkIX]

@scolopendros Можем поговорить в личке в Discord?

[Spk @mrSparkIX]

@ItsTokish 🫡

[Spk @mrSparkIX]

@ItsTokish Respect the clankers

[Spk @mrSparkIX]

@ki2zyp Привет! Хотел связаться с тобой. Если не против, можем пообщаться в Discord?

Did you know one of the NASA spacecraft on Mars is technically in our collection? In 1984, NASA transferred Viking Lander 1, having completed its mission on Mars, to the Museum.

Read more about the Museum's connections to Viking in a new blog: https://t.co/MtjnbyxTc1

[NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day @apod]

Is this a fossilized turtle on Mars?

No.

Although resembling a large Earth tortoise, this is a layered rock outcrop on Mars that is estimated to span about 15 meters, making it much larger than turtles on Earth.

NASA’s robotic Curiosity rover came across this unusual mound, dubbed Miraflores, last month during its 4922nd Martian day exploring Mars.

The small butte may survive because it was somehow more resistant to erosion than surrounding rock.

More recent wind has now covered its top with orange Martian sand. Below the top shell, many layers of stratified rock are visible, possibly indicating a long history of intermittent wind-blown sand being deposited and then hardened by ground water.

Similar wind-eroded layered landforms, such as yardangs in the Qaidam Desert of China, exist here on Earth. Curiosity and its companion rover Perseverance continue to investigate the ancient history of Mars as well as searching for signs of primeval life.

Grace Brewster Hopper was an American computer scientist, mathematician, and United States Navy rear admiral. She was a pioneer of computer programming. She developed COBOL (1960), an early high-level programming language still in use today.

[Mark Poiler @mpoilerfx]

The NSA kept 1 lecture in a vault for 40 years. In 2024 they released it. It's Grace Hopper explaining the future of computing in 1982.

The channel that posted it: the National Security Agency's own YouTube.

Hopper stands at a podium in Navy uniform, a captain, and talks to a room of NSA staff for 90 minutes across 2 reels.

The title: "Future Possibilities: Data, Hardware, Software, and People."

She compares the computer industry to the early automotive one, all custom parts and no standards, and argues software will become the hard problem, not hardware. She was right by decades.

She invented the first compiler and gave COBOL its shape. She kept a clock that ran backwards on her wall to prove rules can be questioned.

The tapes were too degraded for normal release, so the agency restored them before posting.

40 years in an NSA archive. 90 minutes. Now free.
