Notorious RBMK: spacex vs boeing crew capsule controls lmao hard to be “team boeing” these days but jesus christ at least they wont be playing fruit ninja up there

The Dragon crew interface makes me feel insane

It's written in JavaScript and runs on Chromium. Why. WHY

A crew is going to die because some unexpected DNS lookup fails eventually

I see our current elevation is NaN.

“Available oxygen level: [object Object]”

You know you’ve been around this stuff too long when you uncontrollably snort laugh *and* shudder simultaneously at this…

checking the fuel level and just seeing this:

...I get flashbacks to the Watman lecture

x = 3 y = 3 x + y = 33 Oh I'm sorry did you have something else in mind?

or someone confused the == and === operators

Yeah but they’ll get to play the cool dinosaur game while they do.

Crew is going to die because the POS runs out of memory and freezes. Chromium FFS...

reentry burn fails because npm tries to update some shit and crashes

Something something leftpad

This is worse than the Titanic sub running off a generic Bluetooth video game controller from Staples

I promise you that the Logitech controller was the most reasonable thing about that sub. It’s pretty popular for underwater drone control because it’s bulletproof enough to not get weird shorts from getting submerged in saltwater, etc The “used carbon fiber shell” angle is so very much worse

Sorry. “Used second-hand carbon fiber for the hull” Like, they went to the pick and pull for it. I just don’t want anyone to think “it was carbon fiber” was the fullness of the fuckery.

Yeah, the whole sub thing was "if there is a right way and a wrong way, we'll pick the worst possible way." For every single aspect of it.

Tranches of AAA, AA, A, B, and C rated carbon fiber that our actuarial division assure us when bundled together are guaranteed to have the same risk profile as full AAA+ rated carbon fiber.

That is kind of what happened. They bought it from an aircraft manufacturer because the material had reached its experation date.

I'm confused as to why people think that a glorified infotainment system is "running the spacecraft".

Seen this? www.youtube.com/shorts/FTFk4...

The Titanic sun CEO was a hubris-y SOB. #standupcomedy #seemelive #traecrowderdotcomwww.youtube.com

love too have my mission critical controls reload because the web page is using too much memory

you are joking. please?

I am 100% serious

yeah ive got irreparable brain problem from this info now

oh fuck no. I don't even know how to begin doing a flight safety analysis of this shit and make it come out "pass". the fault tree itself orbits the 8th circle of hell

this legitimately just made me shiver. holy fuck.

So, the same kind of people that wanna go check out the Titanic in an experimental submersible.

Fucking hell. I got an interview at an autonomous cart company for a JavaScript position and my first question was "this isn't for the cars right?"

I fucking like Typescript too, it's a great way to protect yourself against the fact that you're writing JavaScript or NodeJS and who gives a fuck. I'm programming a virtual machine provided as a service by a cloud vendor to put HTML on a website or whatever not a spaceship. bsky.app/profile/josh...

JavaScript was originally just one of the languages used to write websites in and it's never been great at that, so they made it a little better and started using it on servers and it's never been great at that and now we use it for mobile apps and all sorts of shit that it's not great at.

I'm stuck on the interface between this cute stuff and the onboard systems and sensors, which were likely built to talk to each other in Fortran or similar. If I was flying in this, my personal item would be a slide rule and I would cut one end to be a wrench.

His obsession with touchscreens is going to kill people. Should be a law that only people raised on 80-90s anime can design control panels.

Already happened, teslas use touch screen controls for shifting into drive, park and reverse: www.businessinsider.com/angela-chao-...

Angela Chao may have died after accidentally putting her Tesla in reverse, a mistake she made before, WSJ reportswww.businessinsider.com Angela Chao, sister of Elaine Chao, made a mistake while making a three-point turn in her Tesla Model X, The Wall Street Journal reported.

in this case though that's a net positive

I'm a liberal arts major who graduated in the prior millennium and even I understand the gist of how bad that is wtf I was sitting there just thinking it's a bad idea for all the controls to be on screen that requires power and not being shattered

this is very unpleasant information to have land in the ole brain queue this evening

you just know the flight software is going to be mining crypto after some five levels deep dependency gets taken over

much 1202, so error

might already have a crypto miner installed for when the computer is “idle”, we know elon loves that idea

holy shit

this made me sick to read what the fuck

i'm shaking and crying somebody get this man an RTOS and a lobotomy

I can watch them launch from my porch (it rattles our windows). I did NOT want this in my brain

This is the worst thing I've ever heard
