说到程序猿,大部分人的刻板印象是:写代码、二进制、加班严重、赚钱多且没时间花、用脑过度容易掉头发,基本上是男的。
但你一定不知道,世界上第一个程序猿竟然是个女的, 还长这么美!!
Ada Lovelace has been called the world's first computer programmer.
阿达·洛芙莱斯(以下简称阿达)是公认的世界上第一位程序员。
后人用Ada的名字命名了一个纪念日
——Ada Lovelace Day
Ada Lovelace Day2016.10.11
First celebrated in 2009 (in March), Ada Lovelace Day is a day set aside to learn about women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
首次Ada Lovelace Day是在2009年三月,人们以此纪念日来赞扬那些对科学、技术、工程学和数学做出卓越贡献的女性。
阿达是谁:拜伦的女儿?!
Of course, someone had to be the first, but Lovelace was a woman, and this was in the 1840s.
当然,世界上总归要有人当第一个。但阿达可是个女人啊,而且还是一位早在1840年的女人。
How did a young woman get the opportunity to show the world her talents in the 19th century? Mathematical intelligence was not the only thing Ada Lovelace had going for her. Her potential for intelligence probably came genetically.
在19世纪这样一个古老的年代,一个年轻的女人是怎么有机会向全世界展示自己的才能的呢?她的数学天赋不仅仅是自身原因,她在智商方面的潜力很可能受遗传因素的影响。
她爹是英国著名诗人拜伦↓
被爸爸抛弃,阿达埋下数学的种子
Ada Lovelace was the only legitimate child of the poet George Gordon, Lord Byron and his wife Annabella. Both were privileged members of the aristocracy, and both were gifted and well educated. The marriage broke up shortly after Ada was born.
阿达是诗人拜伦和妻子安娜贝拉的唯一婚生子女。她的父母都是贵族,拥有很好的天资和教育。然而在阿达出生后不久,父母的婚姻就破裂了。
Byron expected his baby to be a "glorious boy" and was disappointed when his wife gave birth to a girl.
拜伦期待自己的孩子是个让自己“引以为傲的儿子”,然而妻子生下来的却是个女儿,他很失望。
All Byron's other children were born out of wedlock to other women. Byron separated from his wife a month after Ada was born and left England forever four months later, eventually dying of disease in the Greek War of Independence when Ada was eight years old.
拜伦所有其他的孩子都是婚外和其他女人生的。他在阿达出生一个月的时候就和妻子分开了,4个月后又永远地离开了英国。阿达8岁的时候,她爹拜伦在希腊独立战争中因病去世。
