  • Wouldn’t that be akin to adding new features? Adding support for previously unsupported (due to their lack of existance) hardware is a feature imo.

    Besides, while a program may eventually be bug-free, no modern computer has flawless hardware so creating a large program without bugs will always remain a thought experiment.

    The only possible reason to do it would be if an alien civilization were to demand producing such a program or else they’d destroy Earth (similar to Erdős’s thought experiment with finding Ramsey numbers). Perhaps with all of humanity’s resources and a few decades this could be done.



  • Eventually: Yes.

    There are a finite number of bugs (or bug types rather, you could have infinitely many bugs from the same few lines of code) and it will take finite time to fix them all. You cannot know when you have fixed all of them though. But some games have gone above and beyond with fixing bugs, like Factorio where you will not encounter bugs without explicitly looking for them.




  • What shitty system even allows this to happen? It’s not like the microchip in credit cards that allows for secure transactions is particularly expensive.

    Small addendum because I looked it up:

    Apparently checks aren’t the only ancient aspect of the US banking system. Chip cards have apparently only come around in the past few years, prior they used the insecure magnetic strip cards that can literally just be copied.







  • Well, if you insist…
