Sometimes inspiration came from unexpected places. Hamilton would often bring her daughter, Lauren, to the lab with her on nights and weekends. Lauren, then four years old, liked to play astronaut in the team's simulators, and one day, pressing buttons at random, she caused a spectacular software crash. Hamilton investigated and found that Lauren had confused the program by keying in a pre-launch sequence, called P01, "in the middle of the mission," she says.

She asked the powers at NASA to let her add a safeguard to prevent that error in a real flight, and they laughed it off as too unlikely. But they let her make a note of it. When an astronaut did make that blooper during the Apollo 8 mission —the first manned flight orbiting the moon—it caused necessary navigational data to vanish, and they called Hamilton in to get it back. "I remember saying to a couple of guys there, 'It's the Lauren bug!' she says, laughing.

i was fortunate enough to profile Margaret Hamilton in 2019. A really kind and curious person. This was my favorite story she told me:

In universities across the country this week, Lionel Robbins' definition will be rolled out for the start of introductory economics courses. Joan Robinson's observation about its timing will probably receive less attention. www.jstor.org/stable/18215...

In 1932, Professor (now Lord) Robbins
published the famous essay in which he
describes economics as the subject that
deals with the allocation of scarce means
between alternative uses. No doubt this
was the expression of a long tradition but
the date of publication was unlucky. By
the time the book came out there were
three million workers unemployed in
Great Britain and the statistical measure
of GNP in U.S.A. had recently fallen to
half its former level. It was just a coincidence that the book appeared when means for any end at all had rarely been
less scarce.

One of Russia's most dynamic and beloved small non-fiction publishers has announced it's closing down after several years of pressure on its founders and employees. Yet there is no better snapshot of the zeitgeist than its most recent releases. Saving it here for posterity.

Fantastic from @jeffsharlet.bsky.social .. This resonates completely with my experience teaching undergraduates..
