So sad to hear that the iconic, trailblazing, Apollo 11 moon landing software engineering lead, Margaret Hamilton, is no longer with us. Love this image of her, standing next to a print out of the software that landed Buzz Aldrin and Neil Amstrong on the moon! 👩‍🔬🔭🛰️🧪 ℹ️: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Transphobic rot has truly spread and taken root in the minds of the media because they're trying to make "social contagion" stick for every issue from menopausal women who want hormone treatments to the right-wing demographic panic. When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a tranny.

Software engineering could and should be done with the same care as any other type of engineering. This is a post in honor of Margaret Hamilton (and also a subtweet of all vibe-coders everywhere).

Screencap

"“I fought to bring the software legitimacy so that it — and those building it — would be given its due respect, and thus I began to use the term ‘software engineering’ to distinguish it from hardware and other kinds of engineering, yet treat each type of engineering as part of the overall systems engineering process,” Hamilton told El Pais in 2018. “When I first started using this phrase, it was considered to be quite amusing. It was an ongoing joke for a long time. They liked to kid me about my radical ideas. Software eventually and necessarily gained the same respect as any other discipline.”"

Anine is one of the people who worked to expose the research misconduct against trans people at Oslo University Hospital. Yesterday, she was told she is no longer on their waitlist to receive gender-affirming care. This is so obviously retaliatory, it's hard to put into words!

it was smart of jacob geller to only post about what he did to his 50k followers on here instead of to his 1.5 million youtube subs or on his patreon. that way fewer people know about it and he limits the financial hit

it is excruciatingly painful to watch. it is seeing people trying to use 20th century mass politics strategies in a world where all your neighbours can very easily have their desires move in lockstep to whatever the right wishes to deputize them into. it is like the opposition froze in 1973.

Not all men but yes ALL US soldiers deployed in Asia.

Tokyo, Japan — A US Marine was arrested Sunday on suspicion of murder and robbery after a woman’s body was discovered in a hotel room in Japan, prompting the country’s prime minister to express her outrage to the US over the alleged incident she called “ extremely brutal and heinous.”
A 39-year-old woman was found unresponsive in her hotel room in Naha city on Okinawa island and pronounced dead at the scene early Saturday, Okinawa police said.

“The Government of Japan has strongly protested to the U.S. side and has called for the fullest possible cooperation with the investigation, thorough discipline among U.S. military personnel, and comprehensive measures to prevent the recurrence of crimes and accidents,” Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi said in a statement on X.

Police told CNN that based on the condition of the woman’s body, she appeared to have been murdered, but did not provide any more details.

The 20-year-old Marine was stationed at Futenma Air Station, also on the island, police added.

I think what I resent the most is that all of us, especially the women who worked with him, were a part of his rehabilitation (at least image-wise) without us ever getting to choose if that was something we wanted to participate in. He didn't let us or his audience make a choice. How ironic.

perhaps one day this planet will come to reckon with how 5,000 years of so-called "human civilization" is built on the rape and murder of countless nameless women. when all institutions are fraternities, all fraternities need to be burned down. all "brotherhoods" annihilated for people to be free.

tbh. every single nation-state project on the planet has declared war on its women, queer, trans people under the banner of "fraternity", so all must eventually be swept into the dustbin of history. there is no nationalist state project that is not inherently patriarchal.

I'm sick of the pretense that male homosociality isn't based in the veneration of violence against the vulnerable. I have seen the inside of men's "brotherhoods" and all they are is hierarchies of violence where anyone who doesn't support predatory behavior becomes a target of it.

The bare facts of the West's dependency on immigrant labour and neocolonialism are always elided in these discourses. Counter-arguments always invoke a benevolent, kind West magnanimously opening up its doors to the world's poor, graciously offering back a fraction of their stolen wealth.

I find it infuriating that nations who for decades have profited off the exploitation of immigrant labour, who have indeed engineered the conditions for that exploitation through making the countries of origin nigh unliveable, now dare to turn around and call migrants a drain. Absolutely maddening.

the strongest argument for struggling through learning something or solving an unsolved problem when it stops being fun is that the process itself is generative not always of a result but of new methods and concepts. this is also why doing this collaboratively furthers it
