So the other night during D&D, I had the sudden thoughts that:
1) Binary files are 1s and 0s
2) Knitting has knit stitches and purl stitches
You could represent binary data in knitting, as a pattern of knits and purlsâŠ
You can knit Doom.
However, after crunching some more numbers:
The compressed Doom installer binary is 2.93 MB. Assuming you are using sock weight yarn, with 7 stitches per inch, results in knitted doom beingâŠ
3322 square feet
Factoring it outâŠ302 people, each knitting a relatively reasonable 11 square feet, could knit Doom.
Hi fun fact!!
The idea of a âbinary codeâ was originally developed in the textile industry in pretty much this exact form. Remember punch cards? Probably not! They were a precursor to the floppy disc, and were used to store information in the same sort of binary code that we still use:
Hereâs Mary Jackson (c.late 1950s) at a computer. If you look closely in the yellow box, youâll see a stack of blank punch cards that she will use to store her calculations.
This is what a card might look like once punched. Note that the written numbers on the card are for human reference, and not understood by the computer.Â
But what does it have to do with textiles? Almost exactly what OP suggested. Now even though machine knitting is old as balls, I feel that there are few people outside of the industry or craft communities who have ever seen a knitting machine.Â
Hereâs a flatbed knitting machine (as opposed to a round or tube machine), which honestly looks pretty damn similar to the ones that were first invented in the sixteenth century, and hereâs a nice little diagram explaining how it works:
But what if you donât just want a plain stocking stitch sweater? What if you want a multi-color design, or lace, or the like? You can quite easily add in another color and integrate it into your design, but for, say, a consistent intarsia (two-color repeating pattern), human error is too likely. Plus, it takes too long for a knitter in an industrial setting. This is where the binary comes in!
Hereâs an intarsia swatch I made in my knitwear class last year. As you can see, the front of the swatch is the inverse of the back. When knitting this, I put a punch card in the reader,
and as you can see, the holes (or 0âČs) told the machine not to knit the ground color (1âČs) and the machine was set up in such a way that the second color would come through when the first color was told not to knit.
tl;dr the textiles industry is more important than people give it credit for, and I would suggest using a machine if you were going to try to knit almost 3 megabytes of information.

I really love tumblr for this đ
It goes beyond this. Â Every computer out there has memory. Â The kind of memory you might call RAM. Â The earliest kind of memory was magnetic core memory. Â It looked like this:
Wires going through magnets. Â This is how all of the important early digital computers stored information temporarily. Â Each magnetic core could store a single bit - a 0 or a 1. Â Hereâs a picture of a variation of this, called rope core memory, from one NASAâs Apollo guidance computers:
You may think this looks incredibly handmade, and thatâs because it is. Â But these are also extreme close-ups. Â Hereâs the scale of the individual cores:
The only people who had the skills necessary to thread all of these cores precisely enough were textile and garment workers. Â Little old ladies would literally thread the wires by hand.
And thanks to them, we were able to land on the moon. Â This is also why memory in early computers was so expensive. Â It had to be hand-crafted, and took a lot of time.
(little old ladies sewed the space suits, too)
Fun fact: one nickname for it was LOL Memory, for âlittle old lady memory.â
I mean letâs also touch on the Jacquard Loom, if you want to get all Textiles In Sciencey. It was officially created in 1801 or 1804 depending on who you ask (although you can see it in proto-form as early as 1725) and used a literal chain of punch cards to tell the loom which warps to raise on hooks before passing the weft through. It replaced the âweaver yelling at Draw Boyâ technique, in which the weaver would call to the kid manning the heddles âraise these and these, lower these!â and hope that he got it right.Â
With a Jacquard loom instead of painstakingly picking up every little thread by hand to weave in a pattern, which is what folks used to do for brocades in Ye Olde Times, this basically automated that. Essentially all you have to do to weave here is advance the punch cards and throw the shuttle. SO EASY.Â
ALSO, itâs not just âlittle old ladies sewed the first spacesuits,â itâs âthe women from the Playtex Corp were the only ones who could sew within the tolerances needed.â Yes, THAT Playtex Corp, the one who makes bras. Bra-makers sent us to the moon.Â
And the cool thing with them was that they did it all WITHOUT PINS, WITHOUT SEAM RIPPING and in ONE TRY. You couldnât use pins or re-sew seams because the spacesuits had to be airtight, so any additional holes in them were NO GOOD. They were also sewing to some STUPID tight tolerances-in our costume shop if youâre within an eighth of an inch of being on the line, youâre usually good. The Playtex ladies were working on tolerances of 1/32nd of an inch. 1/32nd. AND IN 21 LAYERS OF FABRIC.Â
The women who made the spacesuits were BADASSES. (and yes, Iâve tried to get Space-X to hire me more than once. They donât seem interested these days)
This is fascinating. I knew there was a correlation between binary and weaving but this just takes it to a whole nother level.Â
Iâm in Venice, Italy several times a year (lucky me!) and last year I went on a private tour of the Luigi Bevilacqua factory. Founded in 1875, they still use their original jacquard looms to hand make velvet. Here are the looms:
Here are the punch cards:
Some of these looms take up to 1600 spools. That is necessary to make their many different patterns. Here are some patterns:
How many punchcards per pattern?
 This many:
Modern computing owes its very life to textiles - And to women. From antiquity weaving has been the domain of women. Sure, we remember Ada Lovelace and Hedy Lamarr, but while Joseph Marie Jacquard gets all the credit for his loom, the operators and designers were for the most part women.
Iâve seen this cross my dash a few times, but Iâve never watched the video before. Maybe I just didnât pay attention when I was a kid, but I donât remember ever seeing just how the Jacquard loom works. I just knew that the punch cards controlled which threads were raised. Itâs cool to see the how, not just the what.
Donât hide this in the tags, @drylime :D
I am never not amused by the overlap of textiles and technology. Also the fact that a huge number of fiber arts people I know are either in tech or math themselves or their partner is (myself included - husband is a programmer).
the most painful social interactions are when you miscalculate someoneâs meme literacy and reference something and the person/group doesnât get it and u have to half-heartedly explain it knowing FULL well itâs 0% funny if people donât have the full convoluted context of the joke and u feel the flames of hell start to lick at ur feet as they all give u a pity laughÂ
If you believe you are only âlogical,â you are out of touch with your emotions. If you are out of touch with your emotions, you are more susceptible to them overtaking you.
You are more liable to propaganda, gaslighting, being unaware of your own fallacies, getting angry when your pride is hurt for being wrong, and sticking to personal bias because you do not know how to detect your own feelings or how people manipulate them. You canât have good logic when the emotions you donât realize you have get in the way of your analysis.
Emotions benefit logic and logic benefits emotions. Unfettered, bursting emotions mean we do not understand ourselves and we shoot off without regulation; rational reflection helps put those thoughts into words, context, and appropriate action. Meanwhile the best logic incorporates feeling, because everyoneâs emotional well-being is an important factor in making any level-headed and moral choice.
Deep internal introspection of our own emotions, coming to understand ourselves, stabilizes us all.

stupid leftists and their belief in *checks notes* the intrinsic value of human life
Reblog if you would burn down the statue of liberty to save a life
Hereâs the thing, though. If you asked a conservative âWould you let the statue of liberty burn to save one life?â theyâd probably scoff and say no, itâs a national landmark, a treasure, a piece of too much historical importance to let it be destroyed for the sake of one measly life.Â
But if you asked, âWould you let the statue of liberty burn in order to save your child? your spouse? someone you loved a great deal?â the tune abruptly changes. At the very least, thereâs a hesitation. Even if they deny it, Iâm willing to bet that gun to their head, the answer would be âyes.â Â
The basic problem here is that people have a hard time seeing outside their own sphere of influence, and empathizing beyond the few people who are right in front of them. Youâve got your immediate family, whom you love; your friends, your acquaintances, maybe to a certain degree the people who share a status with you (your religion, your race, etc.)âbut beyond that? People arenât real. Theyâre theoretical.Â
But a national monument? Thatâs real. It stands for something. The value of a non-realized anonymous life that exists completely outside your sphere of influence is clearly worth less than something that represents freedom and prosperity to a whole nation, right?
People who think like this lack the compassion to realize that everyone is in someoneâs immediate sphere of influenceâthat everyone is someoneâs lover, or brother, or parent. Everyone means the world to someone. And itâs the absolute height of selfishness to assume that their lives donât have value just because they donât mean the world to you.Â
P.S. I would let the statue of liberty burn to save a pigeon.Â
also, there is an extreme difference between what things or principles *i* personally am willing to die for, and what i would hazard others to die for. and this is a distinction i donât think the conservative hard-right likes to face.
an example: so, as the nazis began war against france, the staff of the louvre began crating up and shipping out the artworks. it was vital to them (for many reasons) that the nazis not get their hands on the collections, and hitlerâs desire for them was known, so they dispersed the objects to the four winds; one of the curators personally traveled with la gioconda, mona lisa herself, in an unmarked crate, moving at least five times from location to location to avoid detection.
they even removed and hid the nike of samothrace, âwinged victory,â which is both delicate, having been pieced back together from fragments, and incredibly heavy, weighing over three metric tons.
the curators who hid these artworks risked death to ensure that they wouldnât fall into nazi hands. and yes, they are just paintings, just statues. but when i think about the idea of hitler capturing and standing smugly beside the nike of samothrace, a statue widely beloved as a symbol of liberty, i completely understand why someone would risk their life to prevent that. if my life was all that stood between a fascist dictator and a masterpiece that inspired millions, i would be willing to risk it. my belief in the power and necessity of art would demand i do so.
if, however, a nazi held a gun to some kidâs head (any kid!) and asked me which crate the mona lisa was in, they could have it in a heartbeat. no problem! i wouldnât even have to think about it. being willing to risk my own life on principle doesnât mean iâm willing to see others endangered for those same principles.
and that is exactly where the conservative hard-right falls right the fuck down. they are, typically, entirely willing to watch others suffer for their own principles. they are perfectly okay with seeing children in cages because of their supposed belief in law and order. they are perfectly willing to let women die from pregnancy complications because of their anti-abortion beliefs. they are alright with poverty and disease on general principle because they hold the free-market sacrosanct. and i guess from their own example they would save the statue of liberty and let human beings burn instead.
but speaking as a leftist (iâm more comfortable with socialist tbh), my principles are not abstract things that i hold aside from life, apart or above my place as a human being in a society. my beliefs arise from being a person amidst people. i donât love art for artâs sake alone, actually! i donât love objects because they are objects: i love them because they are artifacts of our humanity, because they communicate and connect us, because they embody love and curiosity and fear and feeling. i love art because i love people. i want universal health care because i want to see people universally cared for. i want universal basic income because peopleâs safety and dignity should not be determined by their economic productivity to an employer. i am anti-war and pro-choice for the same reason: i value peopleâs lives but also their autonomy and right to self-determination. my beliefs are not abstractions. i could never value a type of economic system that i saw hurting people, no matter how much âgrowthâ it produced. i could never love âlaw and orderâ more than i love a child, any child, i saw trapped in a cage.
would i be willing to risk death, trying to save the statue of liberty? probably, yes. but there is no culture without people, and therefore i also believe there are no cultural treasures worth more than other peopleâs lives. and as far as iâm concerned the same goes for laws, or markets, or borders.
Well said!
This is an excellent ethical discussion.
The first time I came across this post, randomslasherâs addition was life changing for me. I suddenly understood where the right was coming from, and I had never been angrier.
This is also why so many people on the right fail to see the hypocrisy of trying to make abortion illegal when they themselves have had abortions. They can tally up their own life circumstances and conclude that it would be difficult or impossible to continue a pregnancy, but theyâre completely mystified by the idea that women they donât know are also human beings with complicated lives and limited spoon allocation.
This is also why they think âget a jobâ is useful advice. In their heads they honestly do not understand why the NPCs who make up the majority of the human race canât just flip a switch from âno jobâ to âjob.â When they say âget a jobâ theyâre filing a glitch report with God and they honestly think thatâs all it takes.
This is also why they tend to view demographics as individuals. They think that every single Muslim is just a different avatar for the same bit of programming.
Borrowed observation from @innuendostudiosâ here, but: thereâs also a fundamental difference in how progressives view social problems versus how conservatives view them. That is, progressives view them as problems to be solved, whereas conservatives do not believe you can solve anything.
Conservatives view social issues as universal constants that fundamentally are unable to be changed, like the weather. You can try to alter your own behavior to protect yourself (you can carry an umbrella), and you can commiserate about how bad the weather is, but you canât stop it from raining. This is why conservatives blame victims of rape for dressing immodestly or for drinking or for going out at night: to them, those things are like going out without an umbrella when you know itâs going to rain.Â
âBut then why do conservatives try to stop things they dislike by making them illegal, like drug use or immigration or abortion?â And the answer is: theyâre not. They know perfectly well that those things will continue. No amount of studies showing that their methods are ineffective will matter to them because effectiveness is not the point. The point is to punish people for doing bad things, because punishing people is how you show your disapproval of their actions; if you donât punish them, then youâre condoning their behavior.Â
This is why they will never support rehabilitative prisons, even though they reduce crime. This is why they will never support free birth control for everyone, even though that would reduce abortions. This is why they will never support just giving homeless people houses, even though itâs proven to be cheaper and more effective at stopping homelessness than halfway houses and shelters. Itâs not about stopping evil, because you canât; itâs about saying definitively what is Bad and what is Good, and we as a society do that by punishing the people weâve decided are bad.Â
This is why the conservative response to âholy fuck, theyâre putting children in cages!â is typically something along the lines of âitâs their parentsâ fault for trying to come here illegally; if they didnât want to have their kids taken away, they shouldnât have committed a crime.â It doesnât matter that entering the US unlawfully is a misdemeanor and child kidnapping isnât typically a criminal sentence. It does not matter that this has absolutely zero effect on people unlawfully entering the US. The point is that conservatives have decided that entering unlawfully is Bad, anything that is not punishing undocumented immigrants â due process of asylum and removal defense claims, for example â is supporting Badness, and kidnapping children is an appropriate punishment for being Bad.

Honestly this shit is impressive
Okay non-European tumblr, Iâm gonna explain to you why âwhiteâ isnât as simple here as it is in the rest of the world
- Shades of white in Europe range from âfreshly fallen snowâ to âI am frequently mistaken as being from the Middle Eastâ
- White European is a thing. When you fill out a form, under ethnicity, there are several options for white; white British, white European, white other. Because people make that distinction
- There are Europeans who donât class their ethnicity as their skin colour, but as their nationality. I have family who donât think of themselves as white, they just think of themselves as Italian and donât really give much thought to their skin colour
- People here in Britain always question if darker skinned white Europeans are âactually whiteâ. I get it a lot myself. My response is always âwell Iâm not anything else, so obviously I must beâ
- Despite being white, a lot of Europeans from Italy, Greece, Spain etc, donât feel white in the traditional sense. Weâre not white like white British people. Weâre not white like white Americans. Weâre our own white. White British is one thing. White Italian is another thing. White Greek is another, etc
- Which is why we have this notion here in Europe of ânationality over raceâ. Being white isnât as important as where youâre from
- So this really only becomes an issue if youâre an immigrant
- So being white in Europe doesnât save you from racial discrimination, because sure, youâre technically white, but youâre not white white. Not the right white
- Here in England, Europeans with really blatantly foreign names, such as myself, find it more difficult to get job interviews, because they take one look at our name and donât bother reading the rest of the CV. A guy I know was actually told by his boss to reduce the pile of CVs he had by âchucking away any with a name you canât fucking pronounceâ
-Â And then even when you do get an interview, half the time you walk into the joint several shades darker than everyone else and feel like youâve walked into the âSwedish supermodelâ clubhouse and you just know youâre not getting hired
This is all basic stuff and itâs very much taken for granted here. Race and ethnicity are not as clear cut, so it can be very confusing for non-Europeans to wrap their heads around. Which is fine. But I implore you to stay in your lane, because when you say things like âno white person anywhere in the world ever knows what itâs like to face racial discriminationâ, itâs really fucking offensive to all of the European immigrants who are denied jobs, harassed by the police and beaten by racists, because foreign is foreign to these people, and they donât give a shit if youâre technically white. So when you mean white American, say white American.Â
This doesnât just apply to âdarker skinâ Europeans either (which Iâm sure some Americans would argue are POC for some reason or other). Try being slavic in Western Europe. Hell, try being Sinti or Roma in any part of Europe.
Especially in the UK you can be as white as you like but if you arenât from Britain (or in some cases just England) then you face discrimination. It really isnât that clear cut in Europe and it drives me mad when people say white people canât experience racism because thatâs such a US-centric idea.
And if youâre from anywhere in South-East Europe then you should prepare for your country to be slandered in every UK paper. Seriously, you canât turn on the news, go on the internet, read a newspaper, without being told how Romanian, Ukrainian, Polish people are a drain on the UKâs resources and they should be banned from the country. And guess what?
(Thatâs Mila Kunis. She was born in the Ukraine.)
(Sebastian Stan. From Constanta, Romania.)
(Mia Wasikowska, from Poland)
(Nina Dobrev, who was born in Bulgaria.)
They are white! Just because they are white, it doesnât mean people from their countries cannot face horrible discrimination, and it doesnât mean that they canât be constantly told that they donât work as hard as people from Western Europe, and that they donât deserve basic human rights.
So just before you force your ignorance onto people who donât hold the same views as you due to where they live operating in a different way, just remember that not everybody lives in America.
Here it is guys, the post that finally puts what Iâve been trying to say for far too long into words!
âŠI didnât know Sebastian Stan was Romanian.
But as somebody who has lived in England and the US, I can vouch for all of this. The race issues in Europe and the race issues in the US are not the same.
For the last few years, there has been an awful backlash against immigrants from Poland, with some of the same language used that Americans use about âMexicansâ (By which, half the time, they mean anyone from south of the US/Mexico border).
Itâs worth understanding that
1. Racism and discrimination are everywhere.
2. They donât take the same form everywhere.
I have lived in England for over 10 years now, and can confirm all of the above. As soon as I open my mouth people can tell, of course, that I was not born and raised British.
I was yelled at in the street because a lady thought I was Polish. People have pushed their chairs into my parents and insulted them in a restaurant because they were recognised as Germans.
Being white is not that cut and dry over here.
And being âsociallyâ white as opposed to just pale skinned evolves over time. I mean, there have been times in America when Irish and Italian people have not been considered âwhiteâ.
READ THIS POST IF YOURE AMERICAN
Iâm American and this is the FIRST time Iâve ever heard any of this. I always think Iâm up to date on world issues but wow I am not. Thank you to everyone for sharing!Â
About discrimination between nations in Europe, speaking Finnish and Sami languages in schools in Sweden was forbidden from students because Finns and Sami people were considered to be the lower race. Of course Europe has racism against black people, but yes, thinking about Europeans being âwhiteâ as whole is weird because a white Finn and a white Greek person couldnât be more apart with their cultures.
Yes, all of this, and letâs not forget people like the Finnish speaking Finns have historically and from some cultural standpoints a lot more common with native Americans and the Asians and Blacks in America than white Americans, despite our recent âriseâ in the social rank of race.
Less than 100 years ago we were considered mongoloid (and while itâs not entirely wrong, though Uralic or North-West Asian and Caucasian mix would be lot more accurate), and were oppressed by another nation (Russia) that tried to enforce cultural and linguistic genocide on us, and before that we were oppressed and practically enslaved by Sweden, not all that differently as in any other colonized nationâwhich we were for 800 years.
For all intents and purposes, our âwhitesâ are the Swedish-speaking Finns, who to this day continue to be a lot more privileged than the Finnish-speaking Finns, on average.
In Italy, Southern people are considered less than Northern people and I, as a Northern people, can assure you sometimes itâs pretty bad. Mostly thanks to an idiotic right wing party that thinks that Italy should be divided in two: over the Po and below the Po (our longest river). They even think our ancestors are Celts lmao. Also a lot of people from the South are âless whiteâ (again itâs stupid but whatever itâs just to make you understand), because they have ancestors from Africa so they are mixed, therefore their skin isnât white as snow.
Also in Italy people from slavic countries are often victim to xenophobia, people are always ready to see romanians/albanian/russiansâŠetc as culprits for everything, and itâs not unusual to hear someone says âthis hairstyle makes you look like an albanian!â or âwhy are you going out dressed as a romanianâ yeah they use slavic people as an insult bc people are led to think that they come here just to steal everything from us. And guess what most of them are white as snowflakes!
Iâd like to point out that also italian people have faced discrimination from other european countries. We were, and sadly often still are, always seen as part of the mafia and therefore dangerous, or inferior and poor (yâall can find signs saying pretty nasty stuff online, and iâm leaving this here even tho itâs in Italian), iâve heard a lady telling his son to stay away from me and my family because we were speaking italian and so we could do âbad thingsâ to him and there were times when in shops we were made feel not welcome because we are italianâŠ..and guess what my family is white.
So please when you are outside the us donât try to apply your âracial standardsâ bc they are not valid in europe.
Bless this post forever and ever
The Scottish, Irish, and Welsh are âwhiteâ peoples yet have a long history of oppression by white England. Even to this day youâll hear celebs from those places (which are in the UK or even on the same island as England) discuss the same things as a POC actor in America, like âthere are very few roles for us on TVâ or âI only got the job because I changed my name and accentâ and âIâve had to play a servant or a stereotype for most of my career.â
This discrimination may seem less bizarre to Americans when you understand that the white minorities of the UK are descendants of peoples who lived there long before the Romans marched in and set English history as we know it in motion. Itâs not about skin color, itâs about conquest, as usual.
yall really gonna use Mila Kunis as an example of a Ukrainian who faces discrimination and leave out the fact that sheâs Jewish?
When Heroes first came out in Australia, I was watching it with my then-partner, my sister, and a couple of friends. My then-partner, who is American, mentioned that the show had faced criticism because nearly all the main characters were white.
âWhat are you talking about?â say my sister and I. âThere are two Italian guys RIGHT THERE.âÂ
âOMG you cannot say Italian people are not white,â he says.
âYes we fucking can,â says the Italian friend watching the show with us, deeply offended.Â
And then we had to pause it and a lot of complex explanations ensued. (Including the fact that Greek and Italian people generally arenât considered White in Australia and in fact many a Nonna will smack you if you suggest otherwise.)
Basically, âwhiteâ is a category upon which no two cultures/countries can agree on the definition, they all think they have the only possible definition, and it usually boils down to Preferred Flavours of Bigotry.
I mean, Iâm of sufficiently Irish descent not to have been considered White in New York at certain periods, and Iâm so pink and white I couldnât get stopped at an airport if I tried, so basically itâs all bullshit and âwhiteâ is like ânormalâ⊠everyone thinks they know what it is, but it doesnât actually exist except as a tool for dividing people up into The Good Ones and The Rubbish Ones.

A really good book on the historical whitening of European ethnicities in America ^^^^^
we hungarians are also othered due to our ethnicity not technically being european (hungarians were nomads and came from asia) but more privileged white americans or british folk will just claim we are the same white as them. people also try to erase this by saying we are related to the finns even though our language has more turkish in it (even before being occupied by them).
also, eastern europe is severely discriminated against in other parts of the world to the point where theres even a âslurâ for immigrants from eastern europe going to the usa for a better life
anyways nationalism is gross and its racism lite. when youre a nationalist you support discriminating against people for their ethnicity.
Just adding to the super long post to say that just as âwhiteâ doesnât mean the same thing everywhere, especially not in Europe, âpocâ doesnât mean a fucking thing to us either. If you tell an Algerian and a Moroccan living in Europe that theyâre in the same ethnic category for being approximately of the same skin color, youâll get punched, and deserve it too - because here, there isnât always a shared experience between minorities. I know people from Maghreb (North Africa) who are very pale-skinned with bright red hair, but changed their names to sound more âfrom hereâ because it wasnât just about the look.Â
Iâve got a friend who could be my brother looks-wise even though heâs Kabyle and Iâm not. My mixed-race African-European cousin can be paler than my âwhiteâ brother when heâs got a tan because weâre part Italian. I used to be bullied for âlooking Chineseâ by kids of all ethnicities because I have almond-shaped eyes
can you trigger tag bisexuality please
no but i can fuck both your parents
Kinda weird how you say youâre against fascism yet you shut down anyone just because they share a different opinion than you. You guys are exactly what you say you hate... FASCIST! How come I have never seen any member of antifa actually sit down with someone and have a civil debate? Iâve only ever seen them yell and throw tantrums. Doesnât look good for you guys, yikes.
fascism in italy was not defeated by discourse.
Something I heard recently: if you insist on sheltering both lambs and wolves, you will get in the end only wolves. If you insist your safe space is safe for bigots as well as minorities you will have a space full of bigots- minorities will be driven out.
