Please correct your grammar to show respect to Dorothy Vaughan. She was an educated person who used speech correctly. She stated in the movie, "So, you have a brain, that, I can work with." Makes a better statement.
in life there are two forms of change... 1) changing when you want to and 2) changing when you have to. The former puts you on a path to success the latter puts you on a path of struggle. By seeing that change is coming and adapting to it is how many people become successful and the further ahead you see change coming the more success you have access to.
I love the line, "You got a brain I can work with that." Sometimes it's hard to work with people in high pressure situations if you have to hold their hands all the way thru.
This woman smashed it. She figured out how to make sure the DPS worked and how to program it, and then ensured her fellow colleagues knew too by teaching them to ensure their employment and careers prospects. These are the women young girls should look up to. The skills and ambiton of Dorothy Vaughan of course, but above all her morals and sense of duty to her fellow colleagues. Character. Truly inspirational
Couldn't have said this better. What I loved about this scene is how Dorothy took the time to learn Fortran then read the IBM manual on her free time. After she was comfortable with the setup, she trained others. Now that is a sign of good leadership.

I just sold something like it on Ebay not long ago. Came from Boeing - my company deals with their old equipment. We had it around for years till someone bought it! Ebay is such a treasure trove for old stuff.
I still have a RCA anlog meter with the mirror scale. Must be 30 years and Yes the new high tech digital meters do a lot. They don't do it all. And to me the meter is pure gold.
They missed out by not providing any slide rules. Slide rules were the calculators of that time period. It was still in heavy use until the 1970s when handheld calculators became available.
Keep in mind this is a fictionalized movie. While these were real people, and some of these events likely happened, they certainly didn't all happen the way they're portrayed in the movie.
I can’t get over it. I watch and watch all the scenes over and over. These ladies were just awesome ! For those who have studied higher levels of math; understand well the difficulty of coming up with a new formula.
My father maintained the physical disks ("plates") they show behind her about 0:56 when I was little. The change was happening though, and his job became obselete as those computers were phased out for ones that could have an entire drive replaced rather than fixed. He needed a better understanding of programming (he had some, but that wasn't his strength).
What they are showing are tape drives which came before disk drives. Tape required the program to process the information in a sequential order. Disk drives were a major leap forward allowing "random access". The information that could be stored on all those machines now take up a fraction of the storage on my phone.
As *Jesse Carliner* said, those were magnetic tape drives. The circular objects are the tape reels, you can see the handling rollers below them. The ones they show may be 9-track drives but I'm not sure, I worked with them but much later than the timeframe the movie is set in! The magnetic disks were called "platters", with one or more stacked on a common spindle referred to as a disk pack.

For most of my life, Oscilloscopes were a complete mystery to me. I never understood how anyone could learn to use one. That is, until I started to use one.
Oscilloscopes used to be called oscillographs, because they would visually graph the signal over time. A meter with a needle is great for many things, just like a digital numeric display is, but plotting a signal is like the old saying, "a picture is worth a thousand words".

There is an interesting story dating back to, I think WWII; when they needed women in the factories to replace the men that had been drafted into the armed forces. In some cases they found many of the women were able to 'get up to speed' in a much shorter time span for the job expected for many people. When they looked into why and how of this, they found that many women were more likely to ask for help/assistance when they did not know what to do. As a result, as long as they went to someone that already knew the job, they learned it faster. (NOTE: If there is no one around that knows the job, then this method can NOT work.) The other part is simply 'reading the manual'. Even today people have a tendency to want to just sit down at a computer, load a program, and start doing work. With some programs or things that will work, but in order to really get good at the computer and program one really needs to read the manual at some point. In this clip she does just exactly that, reading the manual. I also wonder why NASA did not hire some consulting services from IBM; unless money was an issue.
Well, technically it didn't "start up". She moved the test probe to the proper location so the Tektronix oscilloscope would show the proper signal they were expecting. Apparently they were troubleshooting the system but looking at the wrong place in the circuitry, so they'd never get it working. By doing that she proved that point wasn't the problem, or that there wasn't a problem.
@@bobblum5973 Well gee, I'm glad there are folks like you that have to make other folks feel dumb. I'm happy that you can boost your own self confidence proving others wrong. I guess I'll have to study up on technology before the next time I make a comment about such things.

This movie was very upsetting for re-visiting how these beautiful and brilliant women were not like treated with respect or dignity. It really bothered me. I grew up in the 60's and 70's and experienced the side of women not being treated with respect or Equality and I am white! I am ashamed of our country's long standing ignorance, bias, and racial discrimination too. As a 69 year old grandmother of 6 granddaughters, I had to work twice as hard as my male counterparts and suffer with the sexist comments, much lower pay, and the snide comments and remarks too. All women everywhere deserve respect and appreciation for their hard work and contribution to our society and the world regardless of race or color. I see that great strides have happened to bridge this gap for women and minorities but so much more needs to be done and happen. I do believe that feminine energy will continue to speak up and rise up to show the world that it can be a much better world. ❤
I maintained the same type of the machines(IBM360-370) in 80's but in Russia. It was much more difficult task than repair contemporary computers, because they were consisted of simple logical elements and you should find just the broken one.
(Sorry, haven't slept for over 40 hours & I can't remember the woman's name! But it was the Math Wizard I'm talking about) Actually, from what I have learned, she never had to go to court... NASA "strongly hinted" and she was allowed to go to the classes she needed! Same with the bathroom (NACA which was the predecessor of NASA was segregated, but she made such an impression on her bosses that anyone who complained about her using the nearest women's bathroom was told to shut up on their first complaint. Their second complaint was answered by something along the lines of: "Do you really want to continue working here?"
Fantastic movie! This is when reality super passes fantasy !❤ I can’t believe that in my state they want to demolish the academy of technology that carries this beautiful name! Is shameful 😢
That was 24000 math Floating-Point Operations per Second. Or FLOPS. Lady wasn't wrong, for that time period that was really damn fast. Now home computers can reach up to 250-300 GigaFLOPS(depending on CPU). Or 300 Billion FLOPS. Could you imagine the look on those Engineers and Programmers faces back then if you told them at that time a little box sitting on your desk was capable of that by the year 2020?
This 360 implemented floating point in software, so it was relatively slow. The 360 model 91 introduced about 5 years after this scene included a hardware floating point unit and was much faster.

“They didn’t use racism like now” sir we can tell age and skin tone with that comment alone. So because people refuse to let racism go unchallenged today and force people to acknowledge their worth as human beings WITHOUT jumping through unfair hoops and laws it’s a bad thing? I don’t understand how you thought this was a good thing to say. I really don’t
Walt they persevered DESPITE racism and sexism. That also meant they were underpaid and had to regularly endure race based abuse, sexual harassment and constant disrespect. For Apollo 11 there was only one woman in Mission Control. She was white, but the fact that she was alone tells you a great deal. Pointing out racism and sexism isn’t the problem any more than your doctors telling you that you have a disease to be treated.
"be given everything". Riiight, black people are just handed things these days. Do yourself a favor, sit down and have a REAL conversation with some black people sometime. Not one where they feel they have to downplay everything that they've had to deal with, but one where they can be real and honest and open. You'll quickly discover that if you had to deal with a single day's worth of the stuff they deal with daily, you'd be storming the gates. And yes, that holds as true today just as much as it did 60 years ago.
Who's "They"? Old white woman what do you mean "use racism like now to be given everything"??? We are not given anything!!! Black people/women are still fight and scratching for human rights! We EARN(ED) EVERYTHING we have except systemic racism, white cruelty and your continued ignorance. How do you know what we struggled through or what it to for Black people to persevere through - you didn't even know Black people could read until you saw this movie. If anything you were on of those 1960's Karens who were standing on our backs. Keep your backhand weak compliment and go watch a few videos by Dr. Robin D'Angelo.
Everyone watching this video is going to die at some point and each of you will answer to God for every idle word spoken, deed done by your hands and the motivation behind it. Now, the evidence for this is that even if you say you don't believe me, your conscience bears witness that I speak the truth and you know there is a creator to whom you will answer to one day. Are you ready? Your "good actions" you rely on are detestable to God, lest you try to negotiate your way into Heaven. Only by grace and through faith shall you receive salvation. Seek Christ while you still can, only He can forgive your sins. Repent and be born again, of water and the Holy Spirit. I say this without judgement and in absolute love when I tell you that Jesus is the light of the world, in Him there is no darkness...
PlagueRunner It's not a documentary. You do realize movies are entertainment, don't you? Nobody really expects a high level of historical accuracy from a movie like this.
No, seriously, they were called computers. Clerks had different job duties. But, hey, if you're the type that prefers remakes, reboots, and sequels, rest assured I won't be denigrating your choices. I say the more choices the better, then there is something for everyone.
I can’t tell if you’re making a joke (a bad one), if you’ve just never seen the movie(and making a bad assumption about women or specifically black women), or just being racist while knowing exactly what the movie is about.
"So you got a brain, that I can work with" - that's a great line.

So because people refuse to let racism go unchallenged today and force people to acknowledge their worth as human beings WITHOUT jumping through unfair hoops and laws it’s a bad thing? I don’t understand how you thought this was a good thing to say. I really don’t
Walt they persevered DESPITE racism and sexism. That also meant they were underpaid and had to regularly endure race based abuse, sexual harassment and constant disrespect. For Apollo 11 there was only one woman in Mission Control. She was white, but the fact that she was alone tells you a great deal. Pointing out racism and sexism isn’t the problem any more than your doctors telling you that you have a disease to be treated.
"be given everything". Riiight, black people are just handed things these days. Do yourself a favor, sit down and have a REAL conversation with some black people sometime. Not one where they feel they have to downplay everything that they've had to deal with, but one where they can be real and honest and open. You'll quickly discover that if you had to deal with a single day's worth of the stuff they deal with daily, you'd be storming the gates. And yes, that holds as true today just as much as it did 60 years ago.
73, white and still very racist. Ain't you a gem.
Who's "They"? Old white woman what do you mean "use racism like now to be given everything"??? We are not given anything!!! Black people/women are still fight and scratching for human rights! We EARN(ED) EVERYTHING we have except systemic racism, white cruelty and your continued ignorance. How do you know what we struggled through or what it to for Black people to persevere through - you didn't even know Black people could read until you saw this movie. If anything you were on of those 1960's Karens who were standing on our backs. Keep your backhand weak compliment and go watch a few videos by Dr. Robin D'Angelo.
That trace wasnt even centered. hahah thats not right. Ya ill say
Focusing on the correct answer in maths 'is racist' - The Times
That is just a few of them most jof them sare not that smart
Most people are not that smart, you obviously are not.
So true, the smart ones check their spelling before posting.
Jealous
Everyone watching this video is going to die at some point and each of you will answer to God for every idle word spoken, deed done by your hands and the motivation behind it.
Now, the evidence for this is that even if you say you don't believe me, your conscience bears witness that I speak the truth and you know there is a creator to whom you will answer to one day. Are you ready? Your "good actions" you rely on are detestable to God, lest you try to negotiate your way into Heaven. Only by grace and through faith shall you receive salvation.
Seek Christ while you still can, only He can forgive your sins. Repent and be born again, of water and the Holy Spirit. I say this without judgement and in absolute love when I tell you that Jesus is the light of the world, in Him there is no darkness...
Go and play in the traffic and take your religious twaddle with you.
Actually, that's the moment when you'll find out there is no god and you've lived your life as a lie. I find your religous threats offensive.
This whole movie just packed with lies
How so? And be specific.
PlagueRunner It's not a documentary. You do realize movies are entertainment, don't you? Nobody really expects a high level of historical accuracy from a movie like this.
Fake story
Less so than your account.
Ugh. They're making movies about the NASA secretaries now.
Not sure if you are serious, but the movie came out in 2016 and they were computers, not secretaries.
@@tryclyn sorry, I stand corrected. I should have said "clerks". When does the movie about the brave NASA janitors and window washers come out?
No, seriously, they were called computers. Clerks had different job duties. But, hey, if you're the type that prefers remakes, reboots, and sequels, rest assured I won't be denigrating your choices. I say the more choices the better, then there is something for everyone.
@@firefightergoggie They were the akin to mathematicians. They made calculations using various mathematical disciplines.
I can’t tell if you’re making a joke (a bad one), if you’ve just never seen the movie(and making a bad assumption about women or specifically black women), or just being racist while knowing exactly what the movie is about.
