Thrilled to see Brian Kernighan from @PrincetonDH speak about digital humanities, thanks to @DrexelCCI. He put the K in awk, wrote the first "hello, world" program, and helped teach this geek how to program in C.

Amazed by the scale of effort that goes into a successful SuperComputing conference. Way to go #SC17! nitter.cf/Supercomputing/status/…
