📅Nov 10, 1954 John Backus published the formal proposal for FORTRAN, the first high level language for computing
🔗 bit.ly/3DQnswH
It was proprietary to IBM. The 1st FORTRAN compiler was completed 1955-56.
Who remembers the shift from that to FORTRAN IV?

After the Rubygems drama, I felt frustrated that I can’t escape evil people trying to dominate my life.
I found myself mourning the future I thought we would have; but also hopeful that it’s not too late to start choosing kindness.

so they can screw us over again? nah, kick out the bums
But there are real dangers out there that must be fought; and energy spent fighting each other is energy lost to that bigger fight.

he's like the dumbest person who thinks he's smart
This is where it gets interesting : at a word size of 1 bit, multiplication is just logical and. So is all multiplication just logical conjunction? First principle derivation of probability as degrees of certainty rely precisely on this connection

Mitch McConnel's singular political insight is that Presidents get punished for Congressional obstinancy and he used that insight to get the Right an unbreakable majority on the Supreme Court, so of course Chuck Schumer's iteration on it is to proactively let democrats take blame after tangible harm

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

"stole Rosalind Franklin's work" has become the new orthodoxy. While she was certainly the victim of sexism from Watson, I think her colleague Wilkins was the real villain. Events 1951-53 well covered in Nature in 2023 www.nature.com/articles/d41...
What Rosalind Franklin truly contributed to the discovery of DNA’s structure
Franklin was no victim in how the DNA double helix was solved. An overlooked letter and an unpublished news article, both written in 1953, reveal that she was an equal player.
