Alfred Noble Prize
The Alfred Noble Prize is an award presented by the American Society of Civil Engineers, as the trustee of prize funds contributed by the combined engineering societies of the United States. It is awarded annually to a person not over the age of thirty-five for a technical paper of exceptional merit published in one of the journals of the participating societies.[1]
Established in 1929 in honor of Alfred Noble (1844-1914), past president of the American Society of Civil Engineers,[1] the prize was first awarded in 1931. There have been several notable winners of this prize, including Claude E. Shannon in 1939.
The prize has no connection to the Nobel Prize established by Alfred Nobel, with which it is often confused owing to the similarity of their names.

gollark: All pocket calculators are the same, *if* you use your definition of pocket calculator, which requires them to be the same.
gollark: I think I will just go for storing old stuff compressed and hope it doesn't cause problems.
gollark: git would really not be a good choice:- the flat-hierarchy thing would probably be problematic, I hear filesystems do not like directories with tons of files in them- would have to deal with git's bad CLI- would have to incur the significant overhead of running an external process to do stuff- no easy way to do on-disk encryption (for SQLite, I can swap in SQLCipher easily)- external state (in git) means more complex code still
gollark: Now, I *could* overhaul it to use text files and git, but that would be extremely annoying.
gollark: Fossil?
