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.

Designing a detection algorithm to find errant pixels in the generated corners of the de-dutched algorithm's footage.

Frustrated because the system is defeated by just zooming the footage slightly during the de-dutch process.

Designing some computer vision algorithms to detect when movie scenes are shot at a Dutch angle and automatically straightening them out

This has evolved into the first sick day of the year.

Apparently I'm not the only one out, which makes me feel better.

The thing that Vogon Media Server is best at, is putting all of my comfort media at my fingertips when I'm sick. A single cheap kindle with sideloaded firefox and I can read comics, novels, watch tv, and movies.
