The True Story of 'Hidden Figures' and the Women who Crunched the Numbers for NASA

NASA's historian Bill Barry says, explaining the NACA's decision. In June 1941, with war raging in Europe, President Franklin Roosevelt looked to ensure the growth of the federal workforce. First he issued Executive Order 8802, which banned "discrimination in the employment of workers in defense industries or government because of race, creed, color, or national origin" (though it does not include gender). Six months later, after the attack on Pearl Harbor brought the U.S. NACA and Langley began recruiting African-American women with college degrees to work as human computers. While they did the same work as their white counterparts, African-American computers were paid less and relegated to the segregated west section of the Langley campus, where they had to use separate dining and bathroom facilities. They became known as the "West Computers." Despite having the same education, they had to retake college courses they had already passed and were often never considered for promotions or other jobs within NACA.

How much battery life should I look for? How long your cycling computer's battery lasts will dictate how long you can enjoy being out on your bike, especially if you're relying on it for navigation or training data. Generally, the best cycling computers will have a battery life of around 15-20 hours when used conservatively, but this will be reduced if you're pairing it to numerous sensors or following navigation for hours at a time. Not too many of us will be riding for 15 hours straight, so a shorter battery life probably won't cause any issues whilst riding, but it will mean you need to remember to charge it more frequently. Every cycling head unit on the market will give you data fields like speed, distance, and time. Bluetooth connection to a heart rate monitor plus speed and cadence sensors. Most cycling computers work with both, and some devices also connect to your home WiFi network, seamlessly uploading your ride to Strava before you’ve taken your helmet and sunglasses off.

Design validation tests the computer as a whole to see if it works in all situations and all timings. Once the design validation process starts, the design at the logic level are tested using logic emulators. However, this is usually too slow to run a realistic test. So, after making corrections based on the first test, prototypes are constructed using Field-Programmable Gate-Arrays (FPGAs). Most hobby projects stop at this stage. The final step is to test prototype integrated circuits, which may require several redesigns. For CPUs, the entire implementation process is organized differently and is often referred to as CPU design. The exact form of a computer system depends on the constraints and goals. Computer architectures usually trade off standards, power versus performance, cost, memory capacity, latency (latency is the amount of time that it takes for information from one node to travel to the source) and throughput. Sometimes other considerations, such as features, size, weight, reliability, and expandability are also factors.

Newer Mac and PCs use biometric security. If a security upgrade is in the works, it may be time to purchase new machines. 3. Your computer’s fans are getting noisy. Often, the first issue to signal an aging computer’s impending demise is the fan running loudly even when it’s not doing intensive computing tasks. If you’re running the latest version of an application or operating system, these programs could be maxing out the hardware of your computer, news causing it to run warmer than usual. 4. It’s time for nimbler hardware. Both desktop and laptops keep getting smaller. There are many PCs in the Windows and Mac line that won’t require your team to lug around a behemoth of a machine. You may see a happier workforce and some productivity gains if people feel like they can quickly open up their device, fire off a few tasks and move on to the next item. 5. It would be cheaper to replace than to repair (i.e., the lemon issue).
