And wish it all away.
Isobel, 23, chemistry PhD student, Jewish, they/them. Mostly a miscellaneous blog with stuff about radio with sufficient presence on here (e.g. Hitchhiker's, John Finnemore's work, The Magnus Archives, Bleak Expectations, Wooden Overcoats, Welcome to Night Vale), One Piece, Jim Henson's works, Phineas and Ferb, birds, and Weird Al, but I occasionally link to radio programmes I've enjoyed. I have a slightly stagnant side blog:
https://hello-folks-calling-folks.tumblr.com/ for non-commercially available radio programmes of dubious audio quality off my cassettes. Header ID: the top half of the "corporate needs you to find the difference between these pictures meme", showing two photos held out side by side. The left photo shows me on my eigth birthday, a white child with brown hair down to my jawline, grinning at the camera with my arms folded with a large cookie with candles in on the table. The right photo is the adult Ronnie from Inside Number 9's Wise Owl, with a similar haircut holding a birthday cake with candles. Icon ID: a black and white line drawing of a boy grinning with individually defined teeth and looking at the viewer, the left side of his face in slight shadow. He has light skin and light hair sticking out to the sides, and his visible ear is large with a spiral inside. Just visible is his left hand making a thumbs-up and his checkered pattern jumper.

Y'all, the world is sleeping on what NASA just pulled off with Voyager 1
The probe has been sending gibberish science data back to Earth, and scientists feared it was just the probe finally dying. You know, after working for 50 GODDAMN YEARS and LEAVING THE GODDAMN SOLAR SYSTEM and STILL CHURNING OUT GODDAMN DATA.
So they analyzed the gibberish and realized that in it was a total readout of EVERYTHING ON THE PROBE. Data, the programming, hardware specs and status, everything. They realized that one of the chips was malfunctioning.
So what do you do when your probe is 22 Billion km away and needs a fix? Why, you just REPROGRAM THAT ENTIRE GODDAMN THING. Told it to avoid the bad chip, store the data elsewhere.
Sent the new code on April 18th. Got a response on April 20th - yeah, it's so far away that it took that long just to transmit.
And the probe is working again.
From a programmer's perspective, that may be the most fucking impressive thing I have ever heard.

Time again for a few duck pictures: a greater scaup - for once not out at sea. These ducks are winter guests in our region.
