Things I learned today (Part 1)

Maybe so. The logo comes from Alan Turing I was told. Its a sad thing

Well you’re going to learn today that the Turing thing is an urban myth

You have an unhealthy fixation with Alan Turing.

Relax cranky. What new midlife crisis has you so tetchy?

It was the poles that cracked the Enigma. Not that chump.

I’ll need a link for that one please.

Polish codebreakers 'cracked Enigma before Alan Turing'

Thomas Pringle TD is a son of Peter Pringle who was convicted of the murder of two Gardaí, a conviction that was later set aside.

I’d like to see a bullet point time line on this. I couldn’t see the Polish having much input post blitzkrieg. And the movies and TV series I’ve seen seem to portray that progress was only made near the end of the war.

The Poles were airbrushed out of the winning of WWIi. They weren’t allowed to march in the Victory parade in London because the Russians said so.

Turing was at nothing until the Poles told him how to do it. He then went on and mastered code breaking at an industrial scale. The Poles were able to crack the previous version, but the one used in WWII was much more high tech and was unbreakable to humans.

They also captured an enigma in 1941, which again they wouldn’t have been able to break the codes on mass without.

The Germans also became sloppy in their code setting and message sending.

So when and how did the Poles tell him how to do it?

@anon7035031

Alan Turing could not have cracked the Enigma Code without the help of Polish mathematicians

Anyone want to explain this slowly to @balbec?

Went to that Bletchely Park where Turing was said to have cracked it. Impressive place. Most surprising is the Germans never bombed it. Not a small place, surprising they missed it.

Discrepancies in the evidence

I remember reading about this a few years ago

Peter Pringle is no death-row poster boy

[Corksfinedtboy]

Vigilantes burn ‘paedophile’ alive after he was accused of rape and murder of girl, 6,that’s what I call justice
