This is a photo of Margaret Hamilton the programmer standing next to the handwritten source codes for the Apollo navigation computers.

Yes, she just turned 90. Amazing career even after the Apollo program

[–] rob_t_firefly@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)
[–] Waraugh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 days ago

I think she was in the Barbie movie too

Looks like someone printed one JavaScript file from any modern website

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 3 points 1 day ago

Remember when Elon Musk bought Twitter and he asked for all the code to be printed out so he could 'assess' it? Lol. Good times.

[–] nightwatch_admin@lemmy.world 23 points 3 days ago

Rude, but correct.

[–] boonhet@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That's just because they bundle it all into one file and minify it. In reality it's 7 billion files each exporting one 3 line function

[–] undefined@lemmy.hogru.ch 1 points 2 days ago

I’m a web developer and I definitely don’t do this anymore. With http/2 there isn’t really a great reason to do this.

[–] Wilco@lemmy.zip 34 points 3 days ago

Kubrick did actually film a fake version of the moon landing, but he was such a perfectionist that he made them film it on location ... thus making the fake moon landing real

[–] unknownuserunknownlocation@kbin.earth 31 points 3 days ago (4 children)

In all seriousness, who was this really? Wasn't she some computer science pioneer or something?

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 73 points 3 days ago (4 children)
[–] GreyEyedGhost@piefed.ca 27 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I'm a little offended at referring to her as the director's assistant, given what she actually did. It could have been just as good a shitpost if she had been referred to as his screenwriter and not diminished how instrumental she was.

[–] slaacaa@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Fair point, even being a shitpost and all. I wanted to say lead writer + her name, but then it would have been hard to also mention Kubrick, making ppl realize the joke.

Regardless, she is an amazing person who achieved a lot already very young, and continued to do so. Btw she just turned 90 a day or two, that prompted me to create the post.

[–] GreyEyedGhost@piefed.ca 2 points 3 days ago

Well, thats interesting too! And the shitpost still gave me a chuckle.

[–] roguetrick@lemmy.world 15 points 3 days ago (1 children)

To think that two feminist icons would be named Margaret Hamilton

[–] postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Oh, if her middle name was Alexandria

[–] cheat700000007@lemmy.world 13 points 3 days ago (1 children)

False, that's Daniel Radcliffe in one of his quirky post HP roles

[–] swab148@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Daniel Radcliffe's Agent: Okay, Harry Potter movies are done, you're rich and famous now! What do you wanna do next?

DR: GET NAKED WITH A HORSE

Agent: ... Okay, and after that?

DR: NAIL GUNS TO MY HANDS

[–] Notyou@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 days ago

Don't forget the movie where he grows horns after his girlfriend dies. I was never a Daniel Radcliffe fan (never saw Harry Potter) until after he started making these fever dream movies. I love it.

[–] teslekova@lemmy.ml 7 points 3 days ago

Three words: Farting Corpse Buddy!

[–] fushuan@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 3 days ago

He wants to make and support weird art, he already has money.

Ah right, thanks!

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 15 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

She coined the term "software engineering," was the first software engineet, and also led NASA's software engineering division for the moon landing.

[–] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 6 points 3 days ago

"engineet" you say ...

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 8 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

She led the team that did the code for the moon landing.

For a while this picture was used with a caption saying she wrote the whole thing by hand. What she did was impressive enough without needing to lie.

[–] Proprietary_Blend@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

This is Chloe Sevigny reviewing the blow job scene in Brown Bunny.

[–] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 days ago

The connections she made on set are how Jack Black got his start Hollywood

[–] simulacra_simulacrum@lemmy.world 13 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

This is a quality shitpost right here. They don’t make ‘em like that anymore.

[–] Dookieman12@piefed.social 11 points 3 days ago (2 children)

See, it was a hoax. There's the script for the fake landing footage

All that work and Neil Armstrong STILL fluffed his lines!

[–] cmbabul@slrpnk.net 8 points 3 days ago (4 children)

If Kubrick had filmed a fake moon landing the conspiracy wouldn’t exist. The nimrods that believe that shit couldn’t begin to fathom how much of an insane perfectionist he was, he’d have created his own moon

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

He'd have faked it, but he'd have insisted on filming on location to fake it

You can tell they didn't have the money to do it for real

They're propping the door open with a coat rack

[–] fubarx@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

That's the first draft script of 2001, as written by an old-fashioned AI 'expert system.'

Kubrik decided it was more cost-effective to just have HAL sing 'Daisy, Daisy.'

[–] ZkhqrD5o@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I don't want to be that guy... however:

[–] Sir_Premiumhengst@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Fuck I knew she looked familiar

[–] TheStaffmaster@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Real talk: I heard somewhere that this is Jack Black's Mom.

[–] SwingingTheLamp@piefed.zip 19 points 3 days ago

Easy to confuse, but Judith Love Cohen was an electrical engineer who worked on the Apollo program, as well. She's credited with work that saved the Apollo 13 astronauts. She later became Jack Black's mom.

[–] LemmyPlaceDN@europe.pub 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

I wonder why that script could fill more than a dozen books. Must have been really long and complicated!

[–] spacegoat@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

She’s so fine

[–] Cris_Citrus@piefed.zip 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

She has such a cute smile lol

[–] Malyca@lemmy.zip 4 points 3 days ago

She's amazing

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Interesting interpretation of this photo...

[–] justme@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 days ago

good one xD
