Aircraft rivet hole issues cause delays to Boeing 737 Max deliveries

Re: Air-o-space

Who says all Astronaut are smart or dont make mistakes ?

THere are plenty of stories of pilots doing dumb stuff and causing their own planes to crash... aka the Aeroflot pilots who let their kids fly their airbus into the ground as an exmaple.

If you think of the concept described by extremism in other frields like religion and apply it to business you get the same outcomes as have occured with Boeing and the MAX.

Re: Boeing should

YAAC: But the problem wasn't Boeing it was a totally independant supplier spun off from Boeing

cow: those suppliers were selected based on policies and costs allowed and mandated by B corporate leadership.

Without those cut backs the process and outcome woul dhave been completely different.

Dont believe me, the executives themselves took millions in bonuses for these very actions, it doesnt get any more evident than their own words from their own speeches.

Re: How can a company be that bad...

YOu clearly used the word coverup and coverup only has one meaning...

ny action, stratagem, or other means of concealing or preventing investigation or exposure

Doesnt sound or mention fixing the problem...its about being dishonest and bullshittting the two qualities of all leadership particularly American corporate leadership.

> To be fair, if this issue was with Airbus we never would have heard of it. It would be a minor thing,

Re-read your own coment, you claimed Airbus would cover it up .

Boeing is an example of American extremism.

Boeing had a good run wih the 737, they also had good profits making it in house, but they had to go for a few extra dollars with their continual cut backs of quality control and bullshit outsourcing.

No make the executives liable for premeditated manslaughter for any crashes caused by cut backs.

You call slandering a company without any proof - fair ?

I forgot this is America, the land of bullshit, google to facebook. CEOs saying words over actual physical evidence, the American dream over the reality of homeless and poor people.

Re: Give them a reason.

medi: What do you expect with 332,000,000 versus 25,000,000 people in the US versus Aus?

That being said, in Wait Awhile we have plenty of homeless, for how mineral rich we are, quite a few governments etc

cow: Im not denying there are homeless people, im simply saying you dont even have to try to find homeless people in good old USA, as compared to AUS. Get on street view and drive around Sydney or Canberra, you will really have to look. hard for a long time, as comapred to say San Francisco, NY or DC.

CowHorseFrog Silver badge

No talking about 1950s planes im talkig about real factories making real electronics and more which wouldnt be there if it wasnt for American CEOs.

Re: Give them a reason.

So how come there are so many homeless and poor people in America compared to say NZ or AU ?

What make you think managers know anything ?

Most managers cant code or even setup a home router and yet you think they can fly a plane and a rocket at the same time ?

CowHorseFrog Silver badge

Maintainability comes with correctness.

Most code is absolute crap, when you get the most basic of things wrong you can be sure many others are also poor and wrong.

Code that does exactly what it supposed to do is correct, and fails like its supposed too. Stuff that does unknown things when things go bad is not correct or acceptable. Facts are most code barely works tese days and when its given for example bad inputs, the messages it gives if it does when it fails is hardly correct. Throwing a NPE or some other random exception instead of a proper message is not correct.

CowHorseFrog Silver badge

Im talking about efficiency suggestions from AI tools like this. They are going to be extremely simple, and basically no different from any other non AI tool, stuf like using builder when creating a message rather than concating strings etc.

CowHorseFrog Silver badge

Re: Bad code

Of course its wrong, how can any intelligence even AI possibly know your intent just by seeing one or two lines of your code ?

How can it possibly know your end goals ?

A real human just off the street wouldnt know, so how can AI know without any background and context of the problem you are trying to fix or solve ?

CowHorseFrog Silver badge

In most cases, efficiency doent matter, what really matters is correctness.

Re: I told you guys

Its good too see third reich maste race politics is finally acknowledged in the USA as being official policy. I remember the other day in a Boeing article here, someone said that B nealy killed some AMERICANS, which made them bad. Nobody down voted this, B has already killed humans with their green im refering ot the Ethipian Max accident etc, but obviously they dont count becaue they arent American.

Microsoft seeks Rust developers to rewrite core C# code

CowHorseFrog Silver badge

Re: Quite a statement of intent

Most langauage changes are a joke and nonsense that simply supports slight more concise forms of another language feature.

- Eg the Diamond operator in java.

CowHorseFrog Silver badge

Re: JavaScript "Performance"

You dont understand how to count the cpu time spent on the different layers. For basically all boring busines software, the time spent on any langage is easily surpassed by the other layers. The cost of the database query is far more your boring business logic in java or c# or go. It basically doesnt matter what langauge you use or its speed, there are other facts you have skipped.

THe rest is prolly for the native runtime its not replacing any ch-shap.

Re: Efficiency

Rust may be more efficient, but programs and objects are written by people, and they need temporary objects to do whaetever.

Re: JavaScript "Performance"

fgswe: What they do to speed up JS programs is: tracing execution with real data types and constructing a "typed" version of the program in the background. Then execute the typed version.

cow: yes but in each actual requeset, the time in javascript code even if its compiled into native is a fraction of the total request.

A node server sending files, is spending v little time doing javascript, most is the OS or native code doing DB nd HTTP.

CowHorseFrog Silver badge

Re: Quite a statement of intent

abend: But the point remains that you can get surprising levels of performance even out of what were conceived as interpreted languages if you put in sufficient effort.

cow: I think you will find the perfomance of those systems is not because of javascript magic its because most of that cpu time is spent in native code.

Eg if you have a node CRUD system most of hte cpu time for every request is not in javascript, but native code for the http stuff, and prolly native code for the magic inside the db. The actual cpu in javascript doing your business logic or whatever is very small.

~

abend: ou can even coerce unpromising candidates into multithreading (eg with worker-threads and async/await in Javascript), but that's not really relevant.

cow: Like my above comment, most o fthat multi threading is actually native code, the javascript - aka your code is not multi threaded at all, at any time in that VM there is only ONE bit of javascript executing.

THeres a big diference between a c# or java where there are lots of eecuting threads sharing memory caches etc, something that cant and doent happen in js.

csharp is mostly for web apps these days ? Uses dont wait for web servers to startup...

CowHorseFrog Silver badge

THere wouldnt be any simply because most developers are rather pathetic and doing many things wrong. The last thing one needs to worry about is a few percentage points when they are screwing many other things up.

CowHorseFrog Silver badge

Re: Quite a statement of intent

Your statements about javascript performance are rather short sighted. For starters JS is single threaded, which means a VM for each CPU whch of coure means no global sharing of anything across cpus because each lives in its own VM.

Which is why Fujitsu management along with those directly aprt of the projet and signing off should be criminally responsible and locked up for a long time.

You seem to forget about Fujitsu. Those that signed off on the deliverables from Fujitsu should be held criminally responsible and sent to jail when found guilty for the side effects of their failed software.

Yes they claim to be capitalists and completely socialism, not because they dislike helping, what they actually dislike is taxes on their wealth. Naturally they are also the biggest welfare beneficiaries, except they call it other things when they get gov handouts.

Its only welfare when you get free medical care costing hundreds or thousands, but billions for them thats not welfare thats helping the economy.
