This is a flaw that randomly causes unpredictable things to happen if you rapidly put things in registers. That doesn’t look like a programming error to me.

- woodruffw 5y agoYou’ve never seen a programming error triggered by a user rapidly mutating state? The programming in question here is ucode instead of application code, but it’s programming nonetheless.
- tinus_hn 5y agoDo you have an example of that? All I can think of are weird edge cases with animations.
- woodruffw 5y agoThe canonical example that I can think of is the entire "race condition" bug class. But also TOCTTOU, caching bugs, &c. (all of which are arguably also in the race condition category.)
