"It has to do with a programmer who creates a whole collection of artificial virtual personalities in a virtual world, but he doesn't let them know that they're virtual. So they argue among themselves as to whether there exists a creator, and if so whether they owe him any gratitude for their existence.

This is what comes out of the warped mind of a retired computer programmer who knows a little bit about Photoshop.

I really have the civic name Farmer. But in my youth I needed money. That's why I'm in nuclear power as a programmer and that's why I'm closed 12 hours a day in a dark office. There are 2 computers and 3 monitors. I do not know if it is day or night. That's why I envy the farmers in the fog. He knows it.
I've been in the corporate programming biz since graduating from college with a degree in computer science in 1982. During my ten year tenure at Lever Brothers, I wrote at least 600 interactive and background CICS programs, most of which communicated with VSAM indexed files as well as TS and TD Queues and a 3270 emulator screen. I always found it somewhat strange that such a large corporation didn't use IBM's relational database DB2. Oh well... back to the Newsweek magazine.
Katherine the programmer takes advantage of a quiet moment at Central Perk to finish some of her coding. She has to hurry before the "Friends" cast arrives and finds her sitting on their couch :-)
I took this photo in December 2019.... it's so weird to see the photos that I took right before the pandemic. It's like a time warp.... everything that happened before the pandemic just feels so long ago and in a galaxy far, far away. Like a distant world or something.....
Is anyone going to get the new "Friends" Apartments set? I think it looks awesome but it's very large and I'm running out of space :-)

By the way, tomorrow (September 29) is National Coffee Day! Enjoy an extra cup of coffee tomorrow :-)
fun facts:
The Pragmatic Programmer story book popularized the term 'rubber duck debugging'
the terminology is now frequently used today by software engineers and programmers to describe a debugging code methodology.

Once again we are at a juncture where the programmers have forced many and especially those that use the English version and paid for premium pro accounts to use the "New Flickr Experience"
The programmers and leadership at Yahoo (i.e. CEO Marissa Mayer) failed to pay attention to the flickr users back on December 8, 2013 (flickr Black Day) and simply ignored the many fine photographers that made flickr what it was.
For the flickr programmers and especially the staff that monitor the forum please know you have once again ignored the users and pandered to advertisers. Really bad idea for flicker to change the old format. We don't mind changes that make it better, but this time your programmers got it WRONG!!!
We all enjoyed this site the way the format was without having the square pictures to the left of the info. The info blocks do not provide us with many of the options we used to have should be left as it was without messing with them and the photo format should NOT have been changed.
I would encourage everyone to only post Red for the next 36 hours and especially on 6 April and I would also encourage folks to use the flickr and Yahoo forum to ensure their voices are heard load and clear to the programming and corporate staff that their changes are making a once great web site horrible.
Simply Flickr staff and the Yahoo CEO (Ms. Mayer) pandering to the advertisers and not to the millions of great photographers that made (past tense) Flickr what it was. Flickr will go the way of AOL and MySpace if the flickr leadership doesn't listen to the photographers that provide the CONTENT and basis of what this web site was supposed to be. We will find a better platform if you make the changes stick or don't fix the multitude of bugs quickly!!!!!!!
Maybe it really is time to try 500px. What say you? What say flickr staff? What say you Ms. Marissa Mayer (CEO of Yahoo)!!

Activity was busy at ACME Computer Programming Labs. Cecilia Cellular was trying to fix a bug in her droid, and her work associate, Carl Cuppaccino entered with his morning grog.
Motorcycle Mike also came, wanting to help fix things quickly.
"No, Mike. You can't fix it with a hammer. It's an electrical problem."

I've been interviewed. Apparently retro gaming is in. Codetapper asked me about my Amiga games.
www.codetapper.com/amiga/interviews/ian-moran/
The Amiga, was a 'proper' computer with lots of interesting hardware, which made it interesting to program. It was the first computer I programmed professionally, and helped cut my teeth in the games industry.
In shot, me, a worts and all snap after getting home from work. A quick selfie.
I wouldn't expect you to press L for light box.
Thanks for suffering my face.

A US Navy WAVE sets the Bombe rotors prior to a run
The US NAvy cryptanalytic Bombes had only one purpose: Determine the rotor settings used on the German cipher machine ENIGMA. Originally designed by Joseph Desch with the National Cash Register Company in Dayton, Ohio, the Bombes worked primarily against the German Navy's four-rotor ENIGMAs. Without the proper rotor settings, the messages were virtually unbreakable. The Bombes took only twenty minutes to complete a run, testing the 456,976 possible rotor settings with one wheel order. Different Bombes tried different wheel orders, and one of them would have the final correct settings. When the various U-boat settings were found, the Bombe could be switched over to work on German Army and Air Force three-rotor messages.

Comment on the above
The four rotor system had 26^4 or 456,976 settings whilst the theree rotor system had 26^3 or 17,756 settings. It looks like the problem scale in a linear way as it took 50 seconds to check 17,756 setting (~350 per second) while the four rotor solution in 20 minutes is ~ 380 settings per second.
I also think the designer Joseph Desch sounds like a remarkable engineer that I never heard of before.
Bombe on Wikipedia
Once the British had given the Americans the details about the bombe and its use, the US had the National Cash Register Company manufacture a great many additional bombes, which the US then used to assist in the code-breaking. These ran much faster than the British version, so fast that unlike the British model, which would freeze immediately (and ring a bell) when a possible solution was detected, the NCR model, upon detecting a possible solution, had to "remember" that setting and then reverse its rotors to back up to it (meanwhile the bell rang).
Source of following material : National Cryptologic Museum
Diagonal Board is the heart of the Bombe unit. Electrically, it has 26 rows and 26 columns of points, each with a diagonal wire connection. These wires connect each letter in a column with the same position in each row. A letter cannot plug into itself; these are known as "self-steckers." The resulting pattern is a series of diagonal lines. The purpose of the diagonal board is to eliminate the complications caused by the Enigma's plugboard. Given specific rotor settings, only certain plugboard settings can result in the proper encrypted letter. The diagonal board disproved hundreds of rotor settings, allowing for only a few possibly correct settings to result in a "strike".
Amplifier Chassis had two purposes, first to detect a hit and second to determine if it was useful. It provided the tie-in from the diagonal board, the locator, and the printer circuits.
Thyratron Chassis was the machine's memory. Since the wheels spun at such a high speed, they could not immediately stop rotating when a correct hit was detected. The Thyratron remembered where the correct hit was located and indicated when the Bombe has rewound to that position. It also told the machine when it had completed a run and gave the final stop signal.
Switch Banks tell the Bombe what plain to cipher letters to search for. Using menus sent to the Bombe deck by cryptanalysts, WAVES set each dial using special wrenches. 00 equates to the letter A and 25 to the letter Z. The dials work together in groups of two. One dial is set to the plain test letter and the other to its corresponding cipher letter as determined by cryptanalysts. There are sixteen sets of switch banks, however, only fourteen were required to complete a run. As the machine worked through the rotor settings, a correct hit was possible if the electrical path in all fourteen switch banks corresponded to each of their assigned plaintext/cipher combinations.
Wheel Banks represent the four rotors used on the German U-boat Enigma. Each column interconnects the four rotors, or commutators, in that column. The top commutator represented the fourth, or slowest, rotor on the Enigma, while the bottom wheel represented the rightmost, or fastest, rotor. The WAVES set the rotors according to the menu developed by the cryptanalysts. The first were set to 00, and each set after that corresponded to the plain/cipher link with the crib (the assumed plain test corresponding to the cipher text.) Usually this meant that each wheel bank stepped up one place from the one on its left. When the machine ran, each bottom rotor stepped forward, and the machine electrically checked to see if the assigned conditions were met. If not, as was usually the case, each bottom wheels moved one more place forward. However, the bottom commutator moved at 850 rpm, so it only took twenty minutes to complete a run of all 456,976 positions.
Printer automatically printed the information of a possible hit. When the Bombe determined that all the possible conditions had been met. it printed wheel order, rotor settings and plugboard connections.
Motor Control Chassis controlled both forward and reverse motors. The Bombe was an electromechanical machine and required a number of gauges for monitoring. It also needed a Braking Assembly to slow the forward motion when a hit was detected and to bring the machine to a full stop when a run was completed.

search phase on the marketplace to find us!
Today the weather programmers must have been taking me for a ride. I had to go out for a walk - had not gone out for a few days - and accepted it would be a walk on a dark day. Got this chaffinch - a good bird, posed from not so far (4-5 meters). Just a few of about 100 shots in a few series got stable, this being the best (no surprise here, at 1/20-th of second).
Then I went downtown for the rest of what I wanted to do and guess what - they turned all the lights on, not a cloud in the sky.
Flickr Protest 19-27 April 2014 (Blackout Week) "Read this Flickr Programmers & Yahoo CEO"
Unfortunately this is a rehash of the protest from 6 April and from 8 December as Yahoo seems intent on destroying the web site as we know it without fixing the multitude of bugs plaguing the "new experience".
For my contacts and those that sometimes view, fav or comment on my photos, please know that I will not be posting again until after 27 April and only limited after that unless Yahoo fixes the bugs or reverts back to a fixed older format. Please don't be offended if I fail to comment or favorite your art work during this time frame as I am not ignoring your photos, but simply trying to have my small voice heard by the folks that run this web site. In the mean time please know that I have started populating most of my photos onto 500Pix as they seem to cater to photographers and not simply folks that take snapshots via IPhone's looking for attention on just another social network.
The following is what I posted two weeks ago and it still stands (although slightly modified):
Once again we are at a juncture where the programmers have forced many and especially those that use the English version and paid for premium pro accounts to use the "New Flickr Experience"
The programmers and leadership at Yahoo (i.e. CEO Marissa Mayer) failed to pay attention to the flickr users back on December 8, 2013 (flickr Black Day) along with 6 April 2014 (flickr Red Day) and simply ignored the many fine photographers that made flickr what it was. They have ignored our voices due to corporate greed and nothing less.
For the flickr programmers and especially the staff that monitor the forum please know you have once again ignored the users and pandered to advertisers. Really bad idea for flicker to change the old format. We don't mind changes that make it better, but this time your programmers got it WRONG!!!

I would encourage everyone to only post Blackout Protest Photos for the next "7" days from 19 April through 27 April 2014 and I would also encourage folks to use the flickr and Yahoo forum to ensure their voices are heard load and clear to the programming and corporate staff that their changes are making a once great web site horrible.
Simply Flickr staff and the Yahoo CEO (Ms. Mayer) pandering to the advertisers and not to the millions of great photographers that made (past tense) Flickr what it was.

As I mentioned above, I have started to upload my photos on 500pix as it seems to be a much better place for now. I would encourage many to do the same if they are not happy with the new experience of flickr.
What say you? What say flickr staff? What say you Ms. Marissa Mayer (CEO of Yahoo)?
“Prime” Example Of Software Bugs Swapping “SALT” & Peppered With Errors, You Could Die Laughing — IMRAN®
As an engineer—especially one who wrote software early in life—I understand how complex systems can misfire. Most bugs are benign. But when a global company like Amazon, serving tens of millions daily, slips up this obviously… it’s a Prime example of how even polished platforms can serve the wrong spice.
I was trying to learn more about Minamata—a poignant, painful tale of mercury poisoning and corporate denial. Instead, the preview and metadata gave me SALT, Angelina Jolie’s sleek spy thriller. Different continent. Different tone. Different universe. But hey, they both kick off with trauma.
So here we are: Minamata—a film about invisible mercury silently poisoning lives—swapped with SALT, served cold with espionage and high-octane stunts. A digital bug so simple it’s funny… until you realize how easily bad data can swap identities, finances, even medical history.
Amazon probably employs better engineers than most government or legacy banking systems. But imagine the wrong code cross-wiring your tax return with someone else’s criminal record. Now the mercury’s rising. And the heat in the AI kitchen? It’s ghost-pepper hot.
Sure, too much salt can raise your blood pressure. Mercury? That’s not seasoning—it’s neurological sabotage. One makes your doctor frown. The other makes your neurons forget how to function.
And now, as corporations lay off human programmers in favor of AI agents still learning to tie their digital shoelaces, who do you call when SALT turns into Minimatter or Minamata becomes Mini-Meta?
And in a time when treaties once forged to protect humanity—from nuclear annihilation to environmental collapse—are being quietly unraveled, it’s worth remembering that the original SALT treaty wasn’t just about missiles. The Strategic Arms Limitation Talks were a Cold War milestone, a rare moment when superpowers agreed to slow the MAD race toward mutually assured destruction. SALT was a treaty born of fear, restraint, and the fragile hope that diplomacy could outpace escalation.
Now, when even that legacy is fading into footnotes, it’s no surprise that SALT is known not as a strategic safeguard, but as a streaming movie suggestion. A salty treat, served up by flawed metadata, peppered with bugs, and hard to swallow — but entertaining!
Pass the Pepper? More mercury? No, thanks. But I’ll take a double dose of SALT—at least Angelina knows how to raise my blood pressure in a good way.
