How is it possible for a TCP bug that leads to stuck connections to go unnoticed for 24 years?
It's because the fools responsible never rewrite their code, use a broken language, and don't even try to prove half of the broken garbage they write. Then, when it turns out to have been broken for decades, they chuckle and shove another finger into another crack, never understanding how they misuse computers.
- ehvatum 4y agoThis is not an unsafe language failure! The same logic, ported to Python, would exhibit the same error.
- verisimilitudes 4y agoThis is a bad language failure, however. The same logic, ported to Brainfuck, would exhibit the same stupidity. The C language makes it unreasonably difficult to write anything, even before proving it to be correct.
