    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

        She’s also in a Lego set!

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

      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.

    This is a quality shitpost right here.

    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.

      source
  • 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

    source
    • 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

        source
    • 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.

    I heard there’s a lost director’s cut where Armstrong meets an alien

      Is the alien made of rock?

    That is not correct… that picture is ALL OF HER OWN ACCOMPLISHMENTS, not a movie script…

      It’s only one of her accomplishments. She has more.

      You’re in a shitposting community, most of us know who this is, all of us are aware that it’s nonsense.
