Ada Lovelace: The World's First Programmer And Enchantress Of Numbers
It may surprise you to know that the world’s first computer programmer did not actually own a computer. In fact, she lived and died almost a century before the first computer was even built. The first person to write a computer program was none other than Ada, Countess of Lovelace, a remarkable mathematician and writer who also happened to be the only legitimate child of the poet Lord Byron. Ada Lovelace Day was marked last week on October 13, an event which celebrates the achievement of women in STEM, looking back to one of the first and most noteworthy of these women.

Incredible Drone Footage Appears To Show A Blue Whale Nursing
Video: Once in a while, nature and technology conspire to bring us something rare and incredible. This is one of those times.
New Horror Story Proves Working For Amazon Is More Soul-Crushing Than We Thought
It’s unspeakably awful to work in an Amazon warehouse. You have to walk between 11 and 24km a day, enter and exit the buildings through a set of airport-style security scanners that take 30 minutes to get through, and you’re constantly being watched. Now, we have yet a whole new sort of horror story.
Deep-Diving Robot Discovers Mysterious And Adorable Octopus Species
Would you just look at him? Sprung to life out of a Pixar movie, the ghostly little fella pictured above was discovered last month by Deep Discoverer, the deep-diving robot that travels with NOAA’s Okeanos Explorer. Spotted 4290m beneath the surface, it’s the deepest observation of a so-called incirrate octopus ever, and it might be a new species.
