Insulting. Navajo Code Talkers were American heroes whose unbreakable code helped carry the U.S. to victory in WWII and saved countless lives.

“The attack on Columbia is a radical threat to scholarly excellence and to America’s leadership in research,” writes Princeton president Christopher L. Eisgruber. “Universities and their leaders should speak up and litigate forcefully”: theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

Regaining confidence in Europe Europe has the means to definitively surpass the US in terms of transport, climate, training and productivity, as it already did for health. This is the only civilisational competition that matters. lemonde.fr/blog/piketty/2…

“It’s amazing how many things about America MAGA hates. MAGA hates that we’re a nation of immigrants. MAGA hates that we have a political system with checks and balances…There’s one other thing that ‘Make America Great Again’ hates: American greatness.” thebulwark.com/p/maga-hates-a…

I learned today That 1962's Spacewar was an offshoot of MIT's Tech Model Railroad Club. They originally used the PDP-1 to control the track, before Russel et al decided to use the system on its own.

En los 50s, el Tech Model Railroad Club (TMRC) del MIT se dividió en dos, el team Knife and Paintbrush (responsables del modelado y la estética de los trenes) y Signals and Power (S&P)(dedicados a la electrónica y los sistemas de control del ferrocarril a escala). S&P odiaba los procedimientos formales y querían usar el mainframe de 3MU$D (IBM 704) para calcular su sistema de control. Pero ese mainframe estaba restringido a cosas "importantes" como la defensa del país y esas cosas. En Fin, eventualmente hicieron unos chachuyos para poder usarlo por lo que los "trenes" ahora virtualizados podrían simularse en la parte superior de la red física para realizar experimentos algorítmicos que sirvieron para luego tomar decisiones en el mundo real. En el TMRC, un ¨hack¨ era cualquier solución creativa o mejora técnica ingeniosa, el término fue adoptado por la comunidad de computación en el MIT, evolucionando hacia lo que hoy conocemos como hacking en nuestro hermoso mundo 🥳. Esta historia la pueden leer completa en el libro Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution de Steven Levy

What an eBay find! This model was made by the US Toy Train Company in 1978. Over the weekend our friends at the Carquinez Model Railroad Society held an open house and we got to play on their layout.

Homeward bound from a @RailwayMuseum meeting held in the shadow of Mallard, the setting sun flashes across the marker of its steam-powered world record; seen from aboard an electric train whose livery is beautifully & cleverly based upon the shape of that very machine, with love.

I don’t know if any of you are into model trains but this is the layout at my son’s model train club. Four levels of epic track areas built in some guy’s back yard in LA. It’s truly an impressive setup.
