Fly by wire was/is truly a primarily software innovation, and its main benefit were the ones brought by software. You can do replace all the cables and pulleys with wires without FBW, and that requires no sophisticated software in the loop - indeed, many FBW airliners have backup controls that are just that, sending electric signals to the actuators without the flight computer.

I think, as also a software engineer it is too easy to get lost in the knowledge of how sausage is made and all the problems we deal with on the daily and loose sight of how software solution can be a genuine improvement - not just a shortcut we have to put up with. After all, perfect hardware doesn't exist, and even if it did, any piece of software only needs to be more reliable than a human operator trying to deal with all of that hardware simultaneously without any assistance

And that assistance is indeed the main benefit of fly-by-wire that actually prompted its adoption! Planes are awfully complicated and counterintuitive machines to operate, and multiple disjointed modes of flight that behave differently and can change suddenly, being unaware of the true state of the plane, and certain inputs doing not what you think they'll do are all problems that can and do occur on a plane even without any computer in the loop

It is here that I need to correct myself, because when I said fly-by-wire allowed Boeing to implement their hack, when that's almost the exact opposite of truth. Boeing 737 did not have fly-by-wire, which is what caused them to need MCAS in the first place! (I look at 777 instead of 737 when writing my op)

If 737 had full fly-by-wire, the crashes probably wouldn't have happened in the first place, since dealing with complicated aerodynamics in real time without failing and without even bothering the pilot about it happening is exactly what FBW systems are meant to do.

And it is here that I want to again empathise just how reliable FBW is. Some modern planes, like A220, forgo having any sort of backup controls entirely, because the flight computer can be trusted just that much. Back in the 70s, when NASA was undertaking its digital fly by wire program, one of the requirements was no mechanical backup - this computer system had to be sufficiently reliable to be the only option they need; and they made it so, and it successfully flew over 200 of its test flights.

Ultimately, designing mission-critical, failure-resistant software systems is no easy feat, of course - but it is no easy feat for hardware systems either! And I would argue that neither is inherently easier than the other, and obviously the regulations and industry culture need to make sure the hard work is put into both.

Ultimately, what doomed MCAS wasn't the the sin of turning to software - it was lack of redundancy and integration testing, - a phrase that I'm sure made you reflexively wince in psychic pain - but so it would any hardware engineer reading this!

"Boeing’s solution to its hardware problem was software." *ominous sting*

“and then the programmers made everything work better” just isn’t something you ever hear in an engineering story.

RIP Dr. Thomas Kurtz - inventor of the BASIC programming language that became widely used in the 1970s and 80s for programming minicomputer and home computer systems.

BASIC made computer programming accessible to a wide audience that included students, scientists and businesses due to its easy to understand syntax, immediately runnable code, and widespread availability. My earliest explorations of the software world involved writing BASIC programs, and I'm very grateful for Dr. Kurtz's contributions to the world of computing.

Stela (arctic fox) continues to be Hi-Caff Racing’s lead mechanic, unafraid of even the most complex car projects!

Here she is in her spring coat, but her fur colors rotate year-round, depending on the season. (She’s pretty all year).

Nyx (arctic hare) is a little scatterbrained and shy. She’s the team’s computer specialist.

The few things that settle her down are solving software engineering problems, support from her team, and Stela (who she loves a lot).

Miya (raven) is Hi-Caff Racing’s star driver in her Skyline, a daredevil on track and in the air!

If you make her mad, she’ll throw you a hurricane with her wings!

(You can do it on purpose if you forget to dry your hair.)

Gemma (sea otter) is a good friend of the team. She helps out with a couple odd jobs sometimes.

Join her surf team!! It’s open to rookies and she’s a very good teacher. If she could get Cas to surf one wave successfully, she could teach anyone…

The girlies are out!!!

preacher: ignore my dusty musty laptop but here's APRIL speaking about herself! this is in response to the verbal command "tell me about yourself". she also has a few(!) different responses to the command "introduce yourself" which are a little shorter =w= in total i think she responds to something like 11 or 12 verbal commands including godword, some of which have a selection of responses which are picked at random. i will probably post a full demo once it's all mounted inside the mannequin. i'm so excited !!

I've been having a hard time with programming lately. Considering that it is my job i kind of need to get it together.

My plan is to start learning stuff that isn't just the only thing I need for my current project. Try to find things about programming and computer science that interest me and maybe talk about it on this blog. I think I need to expand my curiosity about the subject.

I have all these hang ups about feeling stupid and incompetent and how hard everything is, but I need to reframe it. Yes, it doesn't come as easily to me as to others, but that's ok because I'm capable and I can put in the effort to do and learn the hard thing. And I know that at the end it will be totally worth it.

About the whole DOGE-will-rewrite Social Security's COBOL code in some new language thing, since this is a subject I have a whole lot of expertise in, a few anecdotes and thoughts.

Some time in the early 2000s I was doing some work with the real-time Java team at Sun, and there was a huge defense contractor with a peculiar query: Could we document how much memory an instance of every object type in the JDK uses? And could we guarantee that that number would never change, and definitely never grow, in any future Java version?

I remember discussing this with a few colleagues in a pub after work, and talking it through, and we all arrived at the conclusion that the only appropriate answer to this question as "Hell no." and that it was actually kind of idiotic.

Say you've written the code, in Java 5 or whatever, that launches nuclear missiles. You've tested it thoroughly, it's been reviewed six ways to Sunday because you do that with code like this (or you really, really, really should). It launches missiles and it works.

A new version of Java comes out. Do you upgrade? No, of course you don't upgrade. It works. Upgrading buys you nothing but risk. Why on earth would you? Because you could blow up the world 10 milliseconds sooner after someone pushes the button?

It launches fucking missiles. Of COURSE you don't do that.

There is zero reason to ever do that, and to anyone managing such a project who's a grownup, that's obvious. You don't fuck with things that work just to be one of the cool kids. Especially not when the thing that works is life-or-death (well, in this case, just death).

Another case: In the mid 2000s I trained some developers at Boeing. They had all this Fortran materials analysis code from the 70s - really fussy stuff, so you could do calculations like, if you have a sheet of composite material that is 2mm of this grade of aluminum bonded to that variety of fiberglass with this type of resin, and you drill a 1/2" hole in it, what is the effect on the strength of that airplane wing part when this amount of torque is applied at this angle. Really fussy, hard-to-do but when-it's-right-it's-right-forever stuff.

They were taking a very sane, smart approach to it: Leave the Fortran code as-is - it works, don't fuck with it - just build a nice, friendly graphical UI in Java on top of it that *calls* the code as-is.

We are used to broken software. The public has been trained to expect low quality as a fact of life - and the industry is rife with "agile" methodologies *designed* to churn out crappy software, because crappy guarantees a permanent ongoing revenue stream. It's an article of faith that everything is buggy (and if it isn't, we've got a process or two to sell you that will make it that way).

It's ironic. Every other form of engineering involves moving parts and things that wear and decay and break. Software has no moving parts. Done well, it should need *vastly* less maintenance than your car or the bridges it drives on. Software can actually be *finished* - it is heresy to say it, but given a well-defined problem, it is possible to actually *solve* it and move on, and not need to babysit or revisit it. In fact, most of our modern technological world is possible because of such solved problems. But we're trained to ignore that.

Yeah, COBOL is really long-in-the-tooth, and few people on earth want to code in it. But they have a working system with decades invested in addressing bugs and corner-cases.

Rewriting stuff - especially things that are life-and-death - in a fit of pique, or because of an emotional reaction to the technology used, or because you want to use the toys all the cool kids use - is idiotic. It's immaturity on display to the world.

Doing it with AI that's going to read COBOL code and churn something out in another language - so now you have code no human has read, written and understands - is simply insane. And the best software translators plus AI out there, is going to get things wrong - grievously wrong. And the odds of anyone figuring out what or where before it leads to disaster are low, never mind tracing that back to the original code and figuring out what that was supposed to do.

They probably should find their way off COBOL simply because people who know it and want to endure using it are hard to find and expensive. But you do that gradually, walling off parts of the system that work already and calling them from your language-du-jour, not building any new parts of the system in COBOL, and when you do need to make a change in one of those walled off sections, you migrate just that part.

We're basically talking about something like replacing the engine of a plane while it's flying. Now, do you do that a part-at-a-time with the ability to put back any piece where the new version fails? Or does it sound like a fine idea to vaporize the existing engine and beam in an object which a next-word-prediction software *says* is a contraption that does all the things the old engine did, and hope you don't crash?

The people involved in this have ZERO technical judgement.

Adventure Maker (Windows, 1999-2013)

An easy-to-use first-person (primarily, but optionally third-person) adventure game engine, unsupported since 2013 and unavailable for purchase since 2017 (when the venerable Kagi registration service died). You can download it here.

You can find links to free games made with the program on the Wayback Machine here. Don't forget to check the linked sites on the live web too. Games listed as not working on Vista (and thus even following versions of WIndows) may work after using this patch from the Carol Reed series site (Carol Reed games 1-3 used to need it, but no longer do - the other games use other engines - game NINETEEN coming on Jan 1st!).

Browsing HyperCard stacks on our RP2350-based Fruit Jam 🍏📂

With a little more tweaking, we've got a nice big 12MB disk image loading into our Pico-Mac port https://github.com/jepler/pico-mac/tree/rp2350-fruitjam to the Fruit Jam https://www.adafruit.com/product/6200 — that 16MB of internal flash is coming in super useful now!

That means not only can we run System 6 but also install some nice software like HyperCard https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HyperCard !

As kids, we loved playing and making HyperCard stacks, so it's neat to see that we can still navigate the classics on an RP2350. Many stacks have music or sound effects, so we'll revisit these once we get audio playback working.

this might be a long shot but can anyone help me with recursion? preferably in python?

i'm at a weird spot where i get the concept but can't write any recursive functions. kind of like how some people can understand a language but can't speak it...

some sources also say that you can learn by trying to turn iterative functions into recursive ones but i can't even do that. it's just not clicking. i only know the fibonacci sequence and factorials because they are the only examples ever given.

Modern software development be like: I wrote 10 lines of code to call an API that calls another API, which calls yet another API that finally turns on a lightbulb. Pray that Cloudflare or AWS will not be down during this operation; otherwise, there will be no light for you.
