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.

Enjoyed everyone's comments on the last one so much, here's another.

I got mildly interested in flag design after watching videos like this...

... and this.

Anyway, the North American Vexillological Association (people who study flag design) voted Pocatello Idaho as the worst city flag in the country. To be fair, it was truly terrible.

A few years ago, Pocatello took that judgement to heart, and finally decided to redesign their flag. This is their new flag, which is lovely.

Anyway, I'm saying all this to show you a design that they considered, but ultimately dropped in favor of the red mountain above.

I think this flag design is so cool and unique, and just deserves to see the light of day. It fits perfectly because Pocatello is the "crossroads of the west". This diagonal cross hatch design just makes me happy, and I kind of wish it had been chosen. Maybe something similar can make it onto another official flag someday.
