not blood, but the DNA of cancer cells. really.
If your software kills someone (by mistake), personal guilt is a punishment one never completes.
USAF now has Cyber Warrant Officers.
if gnat (the gnu ada translator) from NYU had come out 5 years earlier, ada might have caught on with the masses.
yes, this is true. mainly due to a perceived lack of ada programmers on the market.
Ada is an order of magnitude more modern and sophisticated than your other examples. I expect Ada will capture 0.05% of the market for the next 100 years.
This was almost true in 2000. It is not true now. Things change. Slowly.
Just because it can be measured, doesn't mean it should be. These 'measures' would be much more useful if they were used to determine the control limits of the software process being used. 'hours from pull request to…
They do! The big platform OEM's have been saying no to extended tech data and source code access, but the smaller contracts require govt rights. Either you give up your IP (drawings and source code) or you are…
The commercial aircraft part of McD was dead when the merger happened. The had a cash cow called the "MD-80", which was a derivative DC-9. That had stopped selling. Boeing got more value out of the defense part of McD.
s/some/most/ engineers on the bottom don't care about the politics. they design and implement the best they can.
You can be great at one phase of your life. Motivating people, working 20 hours a day, sleeping in the office. Probably Tesla would have gone under without Elon pushing, motivating, and showing his investment (meaning…
And thus WalterBright describes to us how VC's make money... risk and reward. (Hi Walter. Love your posts...)
SpaceX will lose a vehicle. Not a question of if, rather one of when. relax! i am not saying Elon isn't the greatest engineer ever, and SpaceX is not a great company. space flight is a dangerous business.
many years ago, i was working as an electronic technician. we had a stack of processor boards (from a Perkin Elmer 7/32) that were removed from service. broken. many different revisions, and only schematics for one…
incompetence and poor leadership is not a crime.
target was x86_64 / linux. just updated the rpm spec file for the gcc build to enable ada. rebuild and install. so, changed wordsize, processor, operating system... minimal source code impact.
Do you know what fear is? Getting in an airplane where the flight controls use NPM.
It is everywhere. Look for a Lavendaria or a standalone, laundromat. without attached dry cleaners. Laundromats that hire an attendant, want to keep the attendant busy. "wash and fold" is how they do it. for a family of…
Do you still have an Advanced class license? I think that Advanced class is the only license that is currently around (and able to be renewed) that required a code test. The Novice test was something else. 20 questions.…
yes, he will 'want' a third term. he is owed one, due to the "Russia Russia Russia" hoax. Just ask him. He will tell you all about it.
The adhesive would be specified on an engineering drawing. The drawing would be used to assemble the plane. You change the adhesive by issuing an Engineering Change Order. This is an engineering approval step. In this…
The manufacturer recommends it, the airlines will do it. When you buy an airplane, it is a 30 year relationship. The airlines listen.
do it like every other business. double it. that leaves you with 1/2 a million profit per classroom, per year. ripe for disruption! but, that 1 to 32 might not be accurate. special ed is required by law, and the ratio…
rather kill the program than lose a couple of astronauts. my opinion, Boeing stockholders may feel differently.
