The problem is to put out an accident incident report blaming the "dead people" to only then find out the report was 100% wrong.
> A 3-year-old definitely takes a lot more continuous attention than a newborn

I think this varies enormously between kids, and to some extent between parenting styles as well. With my particular kids (5y and 3y) I can often spend a whole afternoon working on a project while they play individually or together; at younger ages the time commitment was far larger (nearly continuous).

> Here is another video of a 777 wing test where it broke at 154% of the normal load

I really hope you mean 154% of the max load, and I hope that max load is engineered to be far above what should be seen in actual service. 50% over the normal service load is not what I would consider extreme, and not something I would expect to be acceptable in an aircraft.

"A door blew off a Boeing 777X as the new plane was undergoing what was supposed to be its final structural inspection by federal regulators."

It's literally the first sentence of the article.

I doubt Boeing were pushing the envelopes further than the FAA required. And a door fell out.
My kids are 5y and 3y, and the oldest has just started kindergarten. I'll wake them up if need be, and then if they're ready for breakfast on time they each get a penny. Boy do they want that penny!

With older kids I would imagine some sort of just "here's an alarm clock, getting up and ready for school is your job" would work, but I've never been a parent of older kids ;)
Sorry, I mistyped. It is indeed the maximum theoretical load as calculated by the engineering team.

I don't understand how stating that the interests of store owners and the community may not be aligned is not reasonable.

There's many examples of things which are a win for society as a whole that we look back and realize were terrible ideas --- aparthied, slavery, gender discrimination, etc. The common theme typically being that a marginalized population is further marginalized for the benefit of another part of the population.

They have built the 918 hybrid hypercar and a number of phev versions of their production cars that are faster than the pure ICE versions. The hybrid 919 le mans winner is also a triumph.

I think porsche has been developing electric expertise better than just about any other established brand, but they are focused on charging speed and consistent performance rather than straight range.
Personally, I think the onus is on the airlines to not buy unsafe airplanes. (Although, you do then get the argument of "why would they be incentivized to do so," which is admittedly a trickier question.)
On the face, maybe, but if they qualify and they're desperate, they'll agree to a lower salary and be less likely to seek out a competitor to work at.

In contrast, someone who doesn't feel pressured to take this job or else will seek a more competitive pay, and maybe leave for another job if they're dissatisfied.

Yes another great read, for the land of the free and brave.
This post is nice, but...

Rich Hickey and Bret Victor here are squashed into overly simple (and/or wrong) categories whose descriptions go like "the best programs [...] formally prove correctness" and "beautiful code is more important than beautiful UI". Both have been very vocal against these points.

Jon Blow is definitely not (just) in category 2. "But one of the reasons his last game (The Witness) took so long to write was that he wrote his own engine instead of using something off the shelf [...]. I understand". He'll probably have a heart attack reading this deep, deep assumption that creating his own thing slowed down his unique game rather than enhanced it.

As someone who does OCaml (and who maintains ReasonReact), shoving it into the category of "poetry is more important than execution speed" and "code over UI" is exactly what we're going _against_. It sucks to emphasize pragmatism, compile & runtime and UI, only to be shoved back into the "poetry" category.

I get a weird feeling criticizing a blog post that mostly gets the right idea across but then goes e.g. "don't worry, we get that you're a poet and care more about that than real-world execution and we empathize with your different perspective" or "we get that you don't prioritize writing simple beautiful code". Like, I _do_ care and these folks _don't_ abide by what you're describing. There's gotta be a name for this.

ok 1: the wings were bent in an extreme manner.

so you have a cylinder to a close approximation, with a hole in the side of it. Then you have two levers [wings] affixed to said cylinder, then you apply force to the levers, and distort the cylinder thus distorting the hole in the cylinder....

at this point i would invoke a toplogical parlour trick of making a quarter fall through a dime sized hole as an analogy.

https://prop-tricks.wonderhowto.com/how-to/do-large-coin-sma...

my hypothesis is that the entire airframe flexed causing the door frame to distort thus loosing its grip on the door panel, then FOOF! door goes away!
> You would expect things to break during a stress test.

Except, the whole point of the test is to stress the plane and to have nothing break.

The test is designed to make sure the aircraft has built-in safety (i.e. is over engineered).

When the A380 was attempting to earn it's certification it failed a similar static wing test:

> we didn't have search engines that were useful in that capacity.

I remember that. I think it was a combination of there not being good reference websites in some cases, not good question sites in others, and search engines generally being both less good and having less of those sites to index.

I specifically remember finding sites that were goldmines for certain topics, and hoarding them in my bookmark list of useful resources.
Also - need to ensure that all testing methodologies were up to scratch. Here is an article about a KC-135 pressure test that ended up making the plane pop like a balloon [0] - all because the pressure gauge used by the tester didn't have a 'stop' peg and he missed the fact that the needle had cycled around.

A door hatch from the aircraft was found 70 yards away.

This depends enormously on where you're working and what you're optimizing for. "Deceiving yourself" is far too strong: people can easily tell how many hours they're working and whether they're expected to be continuously available.

I have two small kids, so it's important to me that I have a lot of time outside of work. Typically I'm up at 7am, get them ready, bring them to school, get to work ~8:30, leave work ~4:50, kids down ~8:30, bed ~10. I rarely check email outside of work or work in the evenings (only when there's something I'm working on that I'm super excited about) and there's no pressure at all to work more hours than this. I'm not on call.

Not all tech jobs are like this, and I'm lucky I've found one that is a good fit for me, but work-life balance is totally possible.
If any profit goes to the employees, I'm on board.

Idiots, it must be noted, who are expected to require food and lodging, provided at a reasonable price by the local towns.
That's surprising since afaik it's a plug door that presses up against the airframe when under pressure. So sounds like a major failure of the door or the airframe itself.
It’s odd literally no apps that we’ve ever seen did the front view before we did it in November 2004. I think it required a large database of front covers before anyone thought of it — before Amazon came along there’d be no decent way to get the covers to display.
>Except, the whole point of the test is to stress the plane and to have nothing break.

What? No it's not. The entire point of these tests is specifically to break things. If nothing breaks, they did not perform the test correctly.

>When the A380 was attempting to earn it's certification it failed a similar static wing test:

No, it didn't. It passed the test handily. The wing broke well beyond the max load limit, which is what they were testing for.

edit for the sake of being less of an argumentative asshole: I see where you're coming from when you say that it was a 'failure'. However, what I mean to say is that while the wings failed in the test, the failure was intentional, and the data gathered during the test was exactly what was needed to prove that the A380's wings were strong enough for certification, and the A380 was certified based on the results of this test. In my mind, that means the test passed.

No, but there is some motivation built into the title.

HCD grew out of the fact that too many products were being designed by teams that seemed to give little thought to finding out about the people who would have to use them. (It's "User Centred Design" but realising that defining people as "Users" in the title has the awkward connotation of suggesting that a person's whole purpose in life is to use your product. Or even that your product will only affect the people who actively use it - whereas there are other stakeholders in the process who might only use it indirectly.)

Literally speaking, if you were to map out the activities in HCD / UCD, you wouldn't find the user at the centre. The design team interacts with the users, sets the activities, interprets the results, communicates with the other parts of the business, etc. From a cold analytical perspective, the design team still sits at the middle of that map. But they're supposed to have the person who has to use this (and the other stakeholders - other humans) at the centre of their thinking, and a set of activities and processes that help them find out more about them through the lens of the people they interact with. They are supposed to use various kinds of interaction with users to constantly refine hypotheses about how adding the product to the mix will affect things, so that it can shape how they think about the design.

It's Human Centred in a similar way to how Problem-Based Learning is problem-based. Most learning approaches will attempt to show you a problem at some stage, so it'd be easy to say it's just a platitude. But the idea in PBL is that the problems are the "big rocks" that go into the teaching design first, and the other activities in the process are designed to support them, rather than the problems being something small peppered in at the end just to verify that the learning happened.
I definitely couldn’t do it. After a few years at a corporate gig I’ve taken a new job with extremely flexible hours. I work 20 hours/4 days a week. Four five hour work days a week. It’s a HUGE difference.

have to agree with the note about content over medium...
This is only true on the Model 3. Indeed, on the S, the dual-motor variants were more efficient due to different gearing. It is still unclear the community why the 3 dual motor variants are as much as 10% less efficient. It is not totally accounted for by weight, and the extra induction motor should be capable of torque sleep.
In retrospect a better argument may have been the millions of people killed... according to Wikipedia there have been 3,740,769 motor vehicle fatalities in the US in the past century.

There are a number of lower trims coming. Plain taycan will be single motor, I believe they mentioned a 4S that will be the lowest dual motor option and a GTS, all below the turbo.

Porsche has been saying all along the base taycan will be right around the base panamara price, around 90K. Makes sense since taycan shares rear suspension and interior parts with panamara, and unlike other ICE cars where BEV raises costs, the cost of motor + battery is likely to be around the price of a porsche engine. Panamara turbo is 150K just like taycan turbo as well.
They don't have any actual inside information about the Taycan, so they switch to talking about the ZF transmission.
> Except, the whole point of the test is stress the plane and to have nothing break.

That depends on the type of stress test. Some stress tests are to confirm it acts as expected. Other stress tests are used to determine modes of failure. Good engineering isn't just building stuff to spec and assuming it works, just as good programming isn't just writing code and assuming it works as expected because the compiler doesn't throw any errors.

It's very useful to try to break something and see what happens. That's why engineers provide more stresses than systems are designed for to see what breaks, and that's why programmers sometimes run programs in environments constrained in ways it wasn't meant to run in (no disk space, out of memory, network drop, etc), and run fuzzers.

Well, in the sense that it was a functioning country with a functioning economy, where despite the law people of all sorts had employment and improving standards of living.

Fixing the undue separation of society without handing the place over to incompetents and backstabbers would be better, yes. As I've been led to understand it, Rhodesia's armed forces were majority black, and the majority of them did not support the new nationalists at the outset, but the state failed to liberalize, and so sealed their fate.

> like saying a better, freer Third Reich would have been a better place than Communist East Germany

Yes, if the Nazis reformed away from an attempted socialist German ethnostate into a liberal state rather than trying to take over the world, that would have been a good thing, and probably better than East Germany. In fact, West Germany was basically that reformed liberal state they could've been without quite so much bloodshed (though maybe without the technological innovations necessary for the war, you could argue it would not have been as great, in a twisted sort of way).

Altogether it is better to have a reformed unpleasant past than a revolution that throws the baby out with the bathwater. The fault for this, in my opinion, rests squarely on the shoulders of those states who let these institutions run their course until revolution was inevitable, and until the backstabbers could stab everyone in the back thoroughly.

And the iPhone 4 does not. The point is that every phone eventually stops updating. Unfortunately for iPhones, they update poorly even when they have updates, requiring a reboots to patch highly vulnerable apps like the browser or messaging.

Also it depends on how far in the design process they are. Early failure is good. Late is bad, but mostly for them, they'll have to loopback.

Ada code is not very beautiful nor mathematically elegant. I think _despise_ is probably too strong but all the things people like about Haskell and Lisp are not in Ada.

Many of these questions are coming from product managers and design managers, I think they all make sense. Some of these roles do require storytelling and awkward meta discussions. How you answer and not what you answer is being tested here. May not be the best questions for engineers though.

First on the Input/ knowledge gain:
100 - 150 wpm is roughly what people speak at, versus average reading speed of 200 to 250 wpm all the way up to 1000 wpm for top speed readers. If we were to analyze straight by wpm you can put into you Reading is 2X-10X better... Not that it's even a good argument though.

Books take a long time to create because the information is curated.
