  1. more good news from #TheCrux

    "NASA has released the original source code for the #Apollo11 Guidance Computer into the public domain. Now we can all be humbled by what #MargaretHamilton managed to do with less #RAM than a modern USB keyboard."

    USA would fail to land again on Moon because a BSOD.

    Bring back skilled women to develop essential services!

    #MargaretHamilton:

    "That's right sisters! But a little help here please?"

    😆

    Ok, I'll stop. The point is made. There is no #programming without #women. woe to any manbaby who forgets

  9. @oysta I had a standee of #MargaretHamilton made for this year’s Canberra Vintage Computer Exhibition as part of my display on the #Apollo Guidance Computer, you’re welcome to borrow it to take on a flight to the US… 🤪

  10. Found a three-hour oral history interview of #MargaretHamilton recorded by the Computer History Museum in 2017. Here's the part where she talks about the incident I mentioned from _Hackers_ chapter 5, and the MIT hackers in general. youtube.com/watch?v=6bVRytYSTE The annotated transcript of the whole interview, unfortunately in PDF, is here: computerhistory.org/collection

  11. Why I'm thinking about #MargaretHamilton today is a long story. But basically, I remembered how Steven Levy portrayed her in _Hackers_ (chapter 5, "The Midnight Computer Wiring Society"), knew she deserved better, and wanted to learn more.

  12. I see from the Wikipedia article about #MargaretHamilton that she's still alive, now 89 years old. I wonder what she thinks about what the industry that still calls itself software engineering (her term) has become. I should do some more searching and find out if she has talked about it in recent years.

  13. Margaret Hamilton - NASA Software Engineer, born this day in 1936. An American computer scientist, systems engineer, and business owner. She was director of the Software Engineering Division of the MIT Instrumentation Laboratory, which developed on-board flight software for NASA's Apollo program. She later founded two software companies—Higher Order Software in 1976 and Hamilton Technologies in 1986, both in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

  14. #OnThisDay in 1939, The Wizard of Oz, an American musical fantasy film adaptation of L. Frank Baum's book, premieres at Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood; directed by Victor Fleming and King Vidor with a cast featuring Judy Garland (Dorothy), Ray Bolger (Scarecrow), Jack Haley (Tin Man), Bert Lahr (Cowardly Lion), Frank Morgan (Wizard), Billie Burke (Glinda), and #MargaretHamilton (Wicked Witch); songs by Harold Arlen and Yip Harburg.

  15. In our regular Wednesday perusal of the classic "Patty Duke Show," we discovered that Margaret Hamilton played a recurring role as the family's housekeeper. #pattyduke #thepattydukeshow #tv #sitcom #classictv #margarethamilton #wickedwitch #wizardofoz #twins #twincousins

  20. Margaret Hamilton, who led the team developing the software for the Apollo 11 command module, evidently doesn't exist any more thanks to a directive requiring NASA to scrub DEI from public sites including "women in leadership".

    It would be unfortunate if people circulated links like this one.

  21. Currently at Miracle of Science. Love the vibe here. Several b&w photos of scientists and engineers adorn the space. (It's a couple of blocks from MIT.)

    The iconic photo of Margaret Hamilton is behind the bar. A new edition is a LEGO recreation of said photo.

    If you don't know who she is do yourself a favor and take a moment to read science.nasa.gov/people/margar and en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margar

  22. Still impressive.

  23. Polaroids taken by Andy Warhol of Margaret Hamilton in 1980.

    Filming of The Wizard of Oz began October 13, 1938 - 86 years ago! Margaret Hamilton starred as the Wicked Witch of the West.

  25. Mistigram: Ok, no birds here, but she has a good lead on a swarm of angry flying monkeys. This #teletext portrait of #MargaretHamilton as the #WickedWitchOfTheWest from the 1939 #WizardOfOz movie was drawn by @atonalosprey and included in our recent spooky MIST1022 artpack collection. #SurrenderDorothy!

  26. El sábado fué el día 256 del año , el día de las y los programadores. ¿Por qué 256? Por que es un número muy especial en la programación

    ¿Por qué la foto? Es Margaret Hamilton junto a la impresión en papel del programa que escribió para el proyecto Apolo. Elegimos está foto por la felicidad que se ve en la cara de Margaret junto a su trabajo, se puede ser mujer, feliz y tecnóloga y ella nos lo muestra.
