the loom is a significant precursor of the mechanical computer. woven fabric is a significant precursor of the printout. weaving and knotted-pile carpet, alongside other textiles (and certain mosaic styles), are significant precursors of raster graphics.
Ada Lovelace is often cited as the first computer programmer, writing an algorithm for Charle's Babbage's mechanical computer. it was late in the 20th century before computer programming ceased to be seen as a menial task most suitable for women. the Industrial Revolution's automation of weaving, and its destructive impact on the predominantly-feminine home textiles industry, prefigures the chasing of women out of programming.
like Charles Babbage, remembered for the machine while Ada Lovelace is remembered for the programming, the industrialization of weaving was accomplished by male mechanical engineers, and the logical or formal innovation in weaving-in-the-abstract continues to largely be the work of women.

Part of it is I know a lot of people whose Boomer relatives live out in suburbs where you CANNOT leave the house without a car. That makes me very uncomfortable. To be stuck in a place and be unable to go for a walk or catch a bus home if I don't want to be there anymore, or even if you just want to buy a soda, you can't because they don't have a corner store, they don't have a bodega. They have a Walmart 15 miles away. You step outside, there's a highway with a deer crossing.
Thinking about how uncomfortable I feel when I have to participate in nuclear family activities, like hang out with someone's parents for a holiday or visiting a family.
Even with my own family, I feel like an outsider because I was separated from them when I was a child.
I much prefer being able to do my own thing, up to and including being alone, because when you're alone on a holiday, the whole city is quiet and you can walk around without anyone getting in your way or bothering you.
URGENT Asking for Financial Help
I am in a really tough financial bind right now. Lyft took out about $15 because of the whole discount thing I use, and I couldn't figure out how to unsubscribe from it. For $15/month you can save 10% on all rides, and because of that I will need another $20 in less than four hours or I won't be able to make it back home from my therapy appointment today.
I am still looking for work, but I won't be able to make it home today without your support.
Please help me out.

A billionaire can decide he wants a sports stadium where your home currently is and your local government will bend over backwards to lick his boots so now your home is gone but tell me again how you live in a "free" country.
Trans, guy of center, well over 18.
I'm in tech and it feels weird.
