I was on RTE coicis ó shin to talk about my grandmother Kay McNulty, one of the first computer programmers... ever!
In fact she's credited with the co-invention (with her husband John Mauchly) of the Subroutine on Wikipedia.
So proud!

Like most people, two weeks ago, I thought that Gerry Adams probably was in the IRA, but didn't think it made much difference, anyway.
The plaintiffs' case, however, was so poor that I'm now convinced that he wasn't in the IRA.
If the Vikings (AI bots) keep coming back to flatten the Scriptorium (wiki sites), the monks will give up and leave.

The logic of extraction cannot understand the logic of stewardship.

Today I had a machine write a script to query another machine for answers it was instructed not to give me for "legal reasons", and it worked.
It's just... I don't know, don't y'all get tired of being treated like children

I know a lot of folks use metapub (10,000 labs and researchers or so) but I'm never sure how to get the word out.
Well anyway, the metapub library is about to get its biggest fulltext-finding enhancement in many years.

Sad to see, likely to be very damaging to the US's scientific preeminence. While scientists will feel it immediately, this sort of thing can take years to bleed through to broader scientific/economic impacts. And decades to reverse.

Rewatching this RTE short where i'm explaining my grandmother Kay McNulty's contributions to computer science.
The fact is, these women were inventing programming at a time when "making the computer work" was considered clerical/secretarial labor.
A plaque and memorial to Kay McNulty, a pioneer in computer programming, has been unveiled in her native village of Creeslough in Co Donegal. She was one of the six, all-woman, team to pioneer coding the world's first general purpose digital computer | https://t.co/9fZulcZECJ
