> In the early days, a number of terms for the practitioners in computing were suggested in the Communications of the ACM: turingineer, turologist, flow-charts-man, applied meta-mathematician, and applied epistemologist, comptologist, hypologist, computics has also been suggested.

"Turingineers" sound much cooler than software engineers. "Our comptologists are busy turingineering a new software package for that..." Too bad it didn't become a thing (but that would also be discriminatory to functional programmers, I guess).

@robryk We learned that should a reactor have a malfunction for any reason resulting in a leak of nuclear material then having it near water prevents containment. Ergo should not be built near, or on the ocean.

If I was allowed to use a fountain pen in school my penmenship would be so much better today. Sadly my mom never would let me have fountain pens and i never even knew about flex writing till I was older.

@icedquinn So basically every news agency that currently exists on twitter :)

Have you ever been watching a video of a photo-realistic digital avatar and been really impressed at how well they programmed blinks and facial expressions, but remained critical of the hair textures and facial deformation, only to realize you're looking at a video recording of an actual human person?

I have.
