I learned about Turing at university in the 2000s, before his personal history became a vogue subject. Specifically, I learned about Turing machines and the halting problem, alongside Von Neumann machines and such.
It wasn't until later that I learned about Turing's suffering due to his sexuality.
so I am quite curious: why is Flowers underrated? What contributions did he make to his fields similar to Turing's?
- adrian_b 3y agoMost of his important work has been done during the War and it was classified (being applied in electronic cryptographic machines), so he was not allowed to brag about it.
- KnobbleMcKnees 3y agoOkay, I still struggle with the link to him being underrated if the extent of his work is unknown.
