On paper, this all makes a lot of sense. What is going to happen when these airplanes start falling out of the sky because they are just too old? 50 years is a long time for a piece of machinery. There will be many failure modes that will

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 mer

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 non-compliant.

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.

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 of time and energy).

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 revision of each b

space shuttle looked safe for the first 24 launches. not shilling for Boeing. just pointing out that space is dangerous. and a couple of successes does not make the risk go away.

The SpaceX vehicle may look like the safest choice. But is it? A handful of manned flights does not prove that a vehicle is 'safe'. Likewise, some anomalies in 1 flight do not prove 'unsafe'. Perhaps the knowledge of

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.

it was depressing when RH dropped ada support. sure, it was gcc, but it was so nice to have an ada compiler part of the default gcc installation. gnat needs money. well deserved. but adoption needs a free, easy to install compiler. 5 years

ada does not require 'pushing'. once the maturity of the users advances to a sufficient point, then ada is the only solution. "ada. used in creating reliable software since 1983" when i first saw ada, i didn't under

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 4 with t

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. 5 WPM code. I was

The manufacturer recommends it, the airlines will do it. When you buy an airplane, it is a 30 year relationship. The airlines listen.
