stunning metaphor for the state of the uk
Uncle Duke@uncleduke1969.bsky.social· 9 Mar 2024Marvin stared at the painting of his great grandfather, who had survived two wars, worked three jobs to support his fourteen children, and eventually died saving a box full of kittens from a fire, and thought to himself, "You know, if I knocked that over, I could sleep on it."

also omg text rendering on windows is unbelievably ass. how did I ever put up with this. although it's probably mostly just using a non-retina display

if Léa Seydoux says "I could fix him" I would believe her 100%, even if she's talking about Feyd-Rautha

In the 1940s, Turing became worried about losing his savings in the event of a German invasion. In order to protect it, he bought two silver bars weighing 3,200 oz (90 kg) and worth £250 (in 2022, £8,000 adjusted for inflation, £48,000 at spot price) and buried them in a wood near Bletchley Park.[155] Upon returning to dig them up, Turing found that he was unable to break his own code describing where exactly he had hidden them. This, along with the fact that the area had been renovated, meant that he never regained the silver.[156]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:p2cp5gopk7mgjegy6wadk3ep/bafkreibkpynj3xwj4xgbagotjlebncaa7xm5tdlpvf3jc47wxttpuoqpfy "Treasure

![Haskell Brooks Curry (/ˈhæskəl/; September 12, 1900 – September 1, 1982) was an American mathematician and logician. Curry is best known for his work in combinatory logic, whose initial concept is based on a paper by Moses Schönfinkel,[1] for which Curry did much of the development. Curry is also known for Curry's paradox and the Curry–Howard correspondence. Named for him are three programming languages: Haskell, Brook, and Curry, and the concept of currying, a method to transform functions, used in mathematics and computer science

not even Turing has this, although in fairness “Alan” would be a pretty lame name for a language. “Mathison” however has potential
