Says the guy you thinks everything he hates must be represented in other whites....

Don't worry; homo "pride" month is right round the corner. Shout it!

 

[Roy C]

And because you're entirely uneducated you don't understand the relationship between disgust and fear? There there.

Okay, high school grad.

 

[Curried Goats]

Don't worry; homo "pride" month is right round the corner. Shout it!

I happily celebrate my gay brothers and sisters, in the case of the former, literally. I have a gay brother. What I find funny though is the fact that gay pride gets celebrated loudly and proudly in the mainstream while white racists now have to hide in the closet. That's as unambiguous an example of the cuckolding of your culture than almost anything else I can think of.

Okay, high school grad.

Didn't make it that far? What trailerhome school did you flunk out of?

Ok, let it all out now. And shout more proudly next month. Don't worry; you can always repent your sins later.

Who would I be repenting them to? Your Sky Daddy? His zombie son?

I'm not a fellow believer in voodoo, sorry. I believe in science.

Boy, you sure are angry.

 

[Curried Goats]

Boy, you sure are angry.

I'm actually pretty amused right not between Trump's verdict, the marijuana, and your frail belief in fairytales, as the kids (in the early 2000s) would say, I'm Gucci Man.

 

[Freedomisneverfree]

Biden wants whites gone from society. He is filling our country with illegals.

And don't forget your drag story hour gig next month!

 

[Curried Goats]

And don't forget your drag story hour gig next month!

Because bringing the joy of reading to kids is something to be ashamed of? Poor frail bingo. There there.

 

[Crepitus]

Be sure to attend the next BLM riot with that attitude.

I've been to both BLM and Antifa functions.

Those of us with brains already know this. But it is good to remind everyone.

If you hate the West and white men, just stop using the technology we developed. Bye.

​

Men - particularly white men - are being weeded out at every level. The demographic that built the modern world is being hobbled.​

​

Consider that universities, when they were small outfits reserved for the elite, could find the West Virginia math genius John Nash, cultivate him at Carnegie-Melon and Princeton, then send him to MIT to do research resulting in a Nobel Prize. Now an eccentric boy like him is probably drugged by some angry woman in elementary school. If he makes it through that experience, he’s trashed for his whiteness for years, and then rejected probably at all top schools. Then his credentials don’t get him the interviews he would need at top corporations, banks, law firms, consulting firms, etc. And if does manage the interview, he might not get hired anyway because of diversity quotas. And if he even gets through that, he will be subjected to diversity training, and possibly hobbled in promotion. The only white guys who get through all this are connected, wealthy. The John Nash type - very unlikely he’s even recognized.​

​

This is what American society is doing to itself in real time.​

Nothing wrong with AMERICAN white men.
Sure seems like you may have some personal problems, you may need to address.

 

[lennypartiv]

Our population in Texas has been majority brown for over twenty years now. I still don't see this silly replacement thing happening, nor do I care.

It's happening, that's why Texas is in the process of changing election laws.

White men wield most political and corporate power in America, control most private wealth by far, and the insecure, whiny underachievers in that demographic must accept that their vicarious sense of privilege does not exempt them from competing on an equal footing. They can no longer get a free ride that derives from long-imposed inequalities.

How would changing the election laws change the color of the people here? We are Latino majority, not counting the migrants.

“They” only wants millions of new names on voter rolls, one more time. He will be gone by the election. Casket or will dissappear sick. He’s not orchestrating this carnage.

So what is it for white folks that are stealing? White privilege.

What's with the avatar?

History of Women in IT: 6 Female Pioneers in Computer Science​

April 19, 2018 | Purdue Global | Updated January 5, 2024
Women have played a vital role in the field of computer science and information technology (IT) developing some of the most essential components of modern IT. Just a few of the achievements women have made in IT include:

• Creating the first computer program (Ada Lovelace)
• Inventing computing methods and devices, like the compiler (Grace Hopper)
• Advancing human space exploration (Katherine Johnson)
• Developing programs that influence how today's computers work (Margaret Hamilton)
• Creating programs dedicated to studying technology's impact on social and ethical issues (Stephanie Shirley)
• Promoting diversity throughout IT workplaces (Megan Smith)

This article dives deeper into the contributions these six women have made in computer science and technology.

Ada Lovelace Becomes the World's First Computer Programmer​

Ada Lovelace
London-born Ada Lovelace (1815–1852) had a passion and gift for mathematics from a young age. She is credited with being the world's first computer programmer, as she drafted plans for how a machine called the Analytical Engine could perform computations. The machine, invented by her friend, mathematician and inventor Charles Babbage, is considered to be the first general computer. Lovelace detailed applications for the Analytical Engine that relate to how computers are used today.

Lovelace is remembered annually on Ada Lovelace Day, held on the second Tuesday of October. The international day of recognition celebrates women in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM).

Grace Hopper Pioneers Computer Programming​

Grace Hopper
American Grace Hopper (1906–1992) was an admiral in the United States Navy and a computer scientist who was one of the first programmers for the Harvard Mark I computer, which was a general purposes electromechanical computer used in the war effort for World War II, according to the San Diego Supercomputer Center. In 1944, she created a 500-page Manual of Operations for the Automatic Sequence-Controlled Calculator for the computer, which detailed the foundational operating principles of computing machines.
Hopper is also the inventor of the compiler, an intermediate program that translates English language instructions into the language of the target computer. This invention influenced other computing developments, like code optimization, subroutines, and formula translation.
Hopper is remembered at the annual Grace Hopper Celebration, the world's largest gathering of women technologists.

Katherine Johnson Executes Critical Space Calculations​

Katherine Johnson
Katherine Johnson, born in 1918, is one of the women immortalized in the 2016 book and movie Hidden Figures. A West Virginia native and American mathematician, Johnson helped confirm the accuracy of electronic computers used by NASA and performed critical calculations that ensured safe space travel from the 1950s on. She coauthored a research report that used equations for orbital spaceflight in 1960, performed trajectory analysis for the first human space flight in 1961, and ran equations on a desktop mechanical calculating machine before the 1962 orbital mission of John Glenn.
Johnson worked on calculations for Project Apollo's Lunar Lander, the Space Shuttle, and the Earth Resources Satellite. In 2015, she received the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Margaret Hamilton Takes Humans to the Moon​

Margaret Hamilton
Margaret Hamilton, born in 1936, is an American computer scientist and systems engineer from Indiana who led the Software Engineering Division of the MIT Instrumentation Laboratory. She is credited with popularizing the term “software engineering” while working on software development for Apollo 11, the first spacecraft to successfully complete a mission that placed humans on the moon in 1969. Hamilton's insistence on thorough testing is credited with the mission's success and safety of its astronauts.
The guidance software that Hamilton helped develop for Apollo was later adapted for use in Skylab, the space shuttle, and the first digital fly-by-wire systems in aircraft. Hamilton received the NASA Exceptional Space Act Award for technical and scientific contributions in 2003 and the Presidential Medal of Freedom award in 2016.

Adele Goldberg Develops the Blueprint for Graphical User Interfaces​

Adele Goldberg
Adele Goldberg, born in 1945, developed some of the world's most notable programming languages that have influenced modern graphical user interfaces today, according to the IT History Society. Born in Cleveland, Goldberg is a computer scientist who created much of the documentation for the reflective programming language Smalltalk-80, which introduced the programming environment of overlapping windows on graphic display screens in the 1970s. She also was involved in creating influential design templates used in software design, some of which guided the development of the Apple Macintosh desktop environment.
Goldberg was the president of the Association for Computing Machinery from 1984 to 1986. Since 2014, Goldberg has been a member of the Heidelberg Institute for Theoretical Studies Scientific Advisory Board.

Stephanie “Steve” Shirley Founds Software Firm Devoted to Hiring Women​

Stephanie “Steve” Shirley
Stephanie “Steve” Shirley, born in 1933 in Germany, is credited with advancing the essential role of women in IT and computer programming through the launch of her software firm Freelance Programmers, now part of Sopra Steria Group. The firm, founded in 1962 in England, initially employed only women. Shirley’s bio on her TED Talk page, which has had more than 2 million views, cites one of the firm’s most notable projects: the development of the black box flight recorder for the supersonic Concorde, a British passenger airline.
Today, Shirley focuses on philanthropy, including many projects related to IT, through The Shirley Foundation. She is also a public speaker and founded the Oxford Internet Institute at the University of Oxford, dedicated to studying how the internet affects social, economic, legal, and ethical issues.

Megan Smith Promotes Net Neutrality and Tech Diversity​

Megan Smith
In 2014, Megan Smith became the first female chief technology officer of the U.S. and served in the White House until January 2017. Smith, from Buffalo, New York, was a Google executive when she took the federal government role. In her position, she conceived the idea for a tech hackathon that resulted in improved protective suits for health workers fighting the Ebola virus. She also created a White House website dedicated to women in STEM and was the chief advocate for net neutrality, coordinating key meetings that helped lead to the protection of internet freedom.
Smith is currently the co-founder and CEO of shift7, which partners with other organizations and institutions on finding solutions to systemic economic, social, and environmental challenges. Their partnerships are just as diverse as the issues they’re trying to solve, from the Tech Jobs Tour, which stopped in 25 cities across the U.S. to help diverse and non-traditional tech talent find jobs, to the United Nations, where they celebrated entrepreneurs from around the world.

What Will Women in IT Accomplish Next?​

Women's roles in IT and computer science continue to thrive today, as women are inventing new technologies, improving programming, and providing the public with tools that can be used to lead better lives. Women in tech today have advanced government IT systems, created special effects that populate top box office movies, and devised laptop computer developments that enable work from home and bring-your-own-device environments.

Lol. Ada Lovelace was not the first programmer. She didn’t even have the knowledge to program.

Ada was from an aristocratic family, and simply dabbled in theoretical mathematics. She published nothing original in math and her contributions are PR and translation for Charles Babbage. Babbage wrote every program. The reason Babbage took an interest in Ada is because he needed funding and he thought hobnobbing with aristocrats was the best way to do it.

Every serious historian discounts Ada’s revisionist contributions seen today. She was simply a student of math and a publicist. The rest of your list is the same way. Someone who “helped” coin a term or promoted “diversity” in computer science is silliness.


The reason this revisionism takes hold is because of circular referencing. Some dope will read this revisionism on dumb sites like “Wikipedia” and then regurgitate it. Other people see the same circular referencing all over the internet and then accept it as true.

What a crock of shit. There is city and there is fly over country. You guys tell us about the inferiority of fly over country with cities having most of the wealth. You have inferiors in charge in those areas.
