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.
Speaking of which, my stuff now shows up in searches! (I’m pretty sure it does anyway lol)
Apparently you need to post stuff for a while before said stuff actually shows up in tags and searches and the like, so here’s a post for the algorithm :)

He's such a fucking dork
Holy crap this is the largest coding project I've ever completed. Over the last 7 months I've been recreating Tetris from the ground up, without any game engines or libraries or whatever. Everything, from code to art to sound effects, is made by me! I made this! And I published it on Itch.io!
I did another piano cover of a Hollow Knight song! This time it's Resting Grounds. I hope you enjoy! :D

SILKSONG AND DELTARUNE???
Never thought I'd make it to 18, yet here I am. Happy Birthday, me. Hang in there. You'll be okay. Hey, you who are reading this? You'll be okay too. It will be okay. <3
