Dump Term 2, 1.01: Sleep Now in the Fire

[dxmnkd316]

What needs to be patched?

Engineers gonna engineer I suppose and fix something that aint broke...

I don't know if the airline industry uses SIS/SIL, but I assume they have an equivalent.

Most stuff at our facilities that carries a SIL-2 rating is under code-lock. Meaning, you have to have a physical key to push code. I can't even imagine what SIL-4 (likely what ATC and actual flying airplanes fall under for critical systems if I had to hazard a guess)

What that tells me is 40k people intended to leave before September. Now we pay for them for 7 months, without work.

Well played, DOGE.

I'd say there's about a 25% chance they actually get paid.

 

[dxmnkd316]

Make 911 look like a party! (Sorry Jim, I’d have family laid off if that happened but I can’t resist the joke)

If we occupy Gaza like Dumb Hitler wants, 9/11 will look like a party eventually.

Oh, the testosterone bit?

Ha ha. No. I'm fine just the way I am thank you.

 

[Handyman]

LOL at them still peddaling the 'end of September' line, when the language of the agreement allows them to stop paying whenever.

Also convenient how the budget still needs to be firmed up in six weeks, which could nullify any buyout offered.

It's the exact same shit he pulled at Twitter. Only this time there's gonna be unions involved.

Over/Under on Teamsters or the American Federation of Government Employees being declared a terrorist organization by Valentines Day?

Yeah well the NLRB is neutered so the Unions will lose. But hey Teamster President Guy has a podcast! I believe he had Josh Hawley on...you know cause he is so pro union!

Jebster & Whiners try to troll here, filling some void in their own miserable lives. Hey, if I were a U of No Hardware fan, I'd be irritable and depressed, too!

They aren't going to pay them.

Reposting:

They will find any excuse to not pay the person and said person signed away their rights to fight or sue. Anyone who signed this is too stupid to work for the Government...even this one.

Another 9/11 and the Executive Branch will be the only branch with power. America will do back hamsprings running to elect Trump/Vance for life.

At this point I am willing to bet he runs for a third term and wins. There is no way the Supreme Court will stop him.

Careful, hovey will think you’re a DEI woman with how hysterical you sound

No idea about ATC systems, either. Actual software that flies airplanes is certified under RTCA's DO-278, not IEC 61508. DO-278 recognizes 4 basic criticality levels:

Level D: virtually no testing required. Think inflight entertainment systems.
Level C: Annoyance if the software has bugs. Think maintenance monitoring software that may drive false maintenance actions.
Level B: Errors could degrade redundancy of on-board systems but can't, in and of itself, crash the plane. Errors could require significant pilot intervention/workload to manage. Think software that moves fuel around the airplane or controls the (multiple redundant) hydraulic systems.
Level A: The good stuff. Software works or people die. This requires "branch level" testing, where you prove that you have tested every single permutation of every possible path through the code. Uber expensive - takes banks of computers running 24/7 for 6-24 months (depending on code complexity) to get through all the test cases.

I plan on asking my family member about this but considering he was working yesterday while delta had the sea tac accident I’m holding off a day

You're being generous.

 

[Deutsche Gopher Fan]

You're being generous.

I bet they won’t qualify for unemployment either lol

If they want bend over with no lube for daddy Donnie , they can carry it to term

That's fine. I'd rather be a DEI woman then whatever the hell they are.

Speaking of hysterical- every time the roe c wade overturn was brought up, one of our (I think mass) posters would say he was sorry for saying it wouldn’t be overturned. I believe he worked in hospital IT? I’m drawing a blank on name but where has he been? He was a great poster

Pretty sure you're referring to Haunted/Swansong.

Haunted? Yes, swansong is what I remember. Does he not post anymore?

 

[FadeToBlack&Gold]

In the old days of this board, he posted under the former handle. I haven't seen him post since last year. I assumed either his new job got busy, or he's taking a post-election break from discussing this shitfest.

 

[ScoobyDoo]

Probably gave up when the board became practically unusable.
