Looks like the JavaScript of modern webpages in printed form

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

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.

Rude, but correct.

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

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

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

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.

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

She was a lead computer engineer at NASA and kinda invented the field of software engineering.

As of 2026, Science has solved about half of the Van Alley Belt radiation problem for human space travel.

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

We finally have proof

The proof was always the fumbled with “bringing back” rocks and not mizithra.

I didn’t know Capricorn-1 was a Kubrick movie, TIL.
fubarx@lemmy.world 1 day 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.’

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 1 day ago
He’d have faked it, buthed have insisted on filming on location to fake it

Exactly, Stanley did a lot of things, good and bad. But he wasn’t gonna half ass it that’s for fucking sure
SpecialSetOfSieves@lemmy.world 1 day ago
I like your way of thinking here. I’m honestly not sure if the actual geologists working on lunar soil simulants today are more hardcore than Kubrick was back then.
With all the cuts to NASA and the American scientific enterprise generally, we could use this kind of angel perfectionist director these days. I wonder if Denis Villeneuve could be convinced to forget about Arrakis for a while and work closer to home…

Real talk: I heard somewhere that this is Jack Black’s Mom.
SwingingTheLamp@piefed.zip 1 day 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.

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