Tumblr media
According to the Tron Wiki, the character "Radia" is possibly named after the computer programmer Radia Perlman, whose contributions to network design (that are far too complicated for me as a layperson to understand) has earned her the nickname "Mother of the Internet".
Tumblr media
She did once write a short poem about her work, a parody of Joyce Kilmer´s (in)famous poem "Trees":
Algorhyme
I think that I shall never see
A graph more lovely than a tree.
A tree whose crucial property
Is loop-free connectivity.
A tree which must be sure to span
So packets can reach every LAN.
First the root must be selected.
By ID it is elected.
Least cost paths from root are traced.
In the tree these paths are placed.
A mesh is made by folks like me
Then bridges find a spanning tree.

Radia Perlman
Tumblr media
Radia Perlman, informatica statunitense, tra le maggiori esperte mondiali di software design e ingegneria informatica, è l’inventrice dello Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) che ha reso più efficiente la rete, ottimizzando il collegamento tra i suoi nodi.
Nominata Inventrice dell’anno 2004 dalla Silicon Valley Intellectual Property Law Association, è stata annoverata tra le 20 persone più influenti nel campo della tecnologia da Data Communications Magazine.
Nata a Portsmouth, in Virginia, il 18 dicembre 1951, da una coppia di ingegneri che lavorava per il Governo, ha vissuto a lungo in New Jersey. Brillante studentessa in scienze e matematica al liceo, dopo il diploma è stata tra le rarissime ragazze a frequentare il MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) dove, nel 1976, si è laureata in Matematica.
Nel 1980, lavorando per Digital Equipment Corp, colosso dei computer, agli albori di internet, ha prodotto l’algoritmo per STP.
Nel 1988 ha conseguito il dottorato in informatica presso il MIT.
Ha lasciato Digital nel 1993 per lavorare per Novell e nel 1997 è entrata in Sun Microsystems, dove si è specializzata nella sicurezza di rete. Nel 2007, le è stato conferito il titolo di Distinguished Engineer. 
Ha insegnato alle Università di Harvard e di Washington. Nel corso della sua carriera ha ottenuto circa 80 brevetti.
È l’autrice di Interconnections: Bridges and Routers e coautrice (assieme a Charlie Kaufman) di Network Security: Private Communication in a Public World, due fra i dieci più importanti testi in materia di networking.

rahu and technology: 💻
earlier this month, my friend levi (@LeviathanAstro1) made a tweet about rahu’s potential connection to robotics, artificial life, and the uncanny valley
Tumblr media
the three nakshatras ruled by rahu are ardra, swati, and shatabhisha. after doing more research, i found a ton of a prominent figures in the technology world who have rahuvian placements !!
katherine johnson - swati mars, ardra jupiter
bill gates - swati sun
valerie thomas - sba. venus
steve jobs - sba. sun
kimberly bryant - sba. moon
radia perlman - swati venus
grace hopper - ardra jupiter, sba. saturn
marsha rhea williams - ardra venus
ada lovelace - swati venus + jupiter
Tumblr media
i also received several responses from my followers with rahu-ruled planets, talking about their interest in different technological activities or media:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
rahu-ruled nakshatras: (sidereal degrees)
ardra: 6°40’ - 20°0’ gemini
swati: 6°40’ - 20°0’ libra
shatabhisha: 6°40’ - 20°0’ aquarius
rahu-ruled nakshatras: (tropical degrees)
ardra: 0°31’ - 13°51’ cancer
swati: 0°31’ - 13°51’ scorpio
shatabhisha: 0°31’ - 13°51’ pisces
are you a rahuvian placement who really enjoys technology, robotics, sci-fi, or coding ? tell me in the replies :)

TORTIS (Toddler's Own Recursive Turtle Interpreter System) by Radia Perlman (1974), MIT, Cambridge, MA. TORTIS is a device that lets pre-school children communicate with and program a robot turtle. It has three button boxes, designed so that key concepts can be introduced gradually. The first box has buttons for simple turtle actions, 'forward', 'back', 'right', 'left', 'toot', 'penup', 'pendown', 'light on', and 'light off.' A 'commands box' has the same nine buttons, with an additional row of numbers 1 to 10; pressing a number before the action button, repeats the action that many times. A third 'memory box' can be plugged in, that stores and recalls sequences of actions. Later on, a "blox box" was added that allows command blocks to be plugged into a 16x16 grid, representing a map that lights up to show the turtle's position, and executes the command at that point. The “blox box” is widely considered to be the first use of tangible programming. Perlman went on to invent the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), that allows Ethernet networks to transport data without getting stuck in a loop, a development that was key to the growth of the internet.

nothing has made me happier recently than learning that the creator of the spanning tree algorithm promptly wrote a poem abt it:
I think that I shall never see
A graph more lovely than a tree.
A tree whose crucial property
Is loop-free connectivity.
A tree that must be sure to span
So packets can reach every LAN.
First, the root must be selected.
By ID, it is elected.
Least-cost paths from root are traced.
In the tree, these paths are placed.
A mesh is made by folks like me,
Then bridges find a spanning tree.
—“Algorhyme” by Radia Perlman
