Klára Dán von Neumann

Computer scientist Klára Dán von Neumann was born in 1911 in Budapest, Hungary. In 1948, Dán von Neumann wrote the first modern-style code to be executed on a computer. She wrote this code in the complex language of the ENIAC system, at a time when no programming languages or programming aids existed. Dán von Neumann also worked on the Monte Carlo simulations of atomic and thermonuclear explosions.

Klára Dán von Neumann died in 1963 at the age of 52.

Successfully trying out a few new coding techniques seemed like a fitting way to celebrate Alan Turing's birthday.

I successfully automated 9 additional processes today with fewer than 25 lines of code.

I love how in online school you can use your router acting up as an excuse.

Not in a class of computer scientists tho, they all know you are in the most cases able to fix it in less than 15 minutes.

Thats how i got busted.

watching the light slowly die on my laptops screen, and it looks at me as if to say, “I reminded u at 10% and u said okay. I tried again at 5% but this bish don’t liSTEN. 👏 THIS 👏 IS 👏 YOUR 👏 OWN 👏 DOING

And then u think...hm...I had autosave on, right? D....did I? When was the last time I saved...? Oh...oh man....

4 female NASA scientists will soon be in toy boxes across America. Here’s why that’s important.

Women hold less than 25% of STEM jobs, despite making up nearly half of the American workforce.

Toy stores across America will soon start selling Lego’s new “Women of NASA” product, a rocket-powered, 231-piece set with figurines based on four real NASA scientists.

Astronauts Mae Jemison and Sally Ride, along with along with computer scientist Margaret Hamilton and astronomer Nancy Grace, will be available for purchase Nov. 1. The $24.99 kit includes scenes for the scientists, such as the Challenger space shuttle or the Hubble Space Telescope.
