All of our code is compiled three times by different Mac Pros in a climate-controlled environment, in a special room, 30 meters below ground, enclosed in a faraday cage, and encapsulated in an anti-radiation shield of three feet of concrete and 2 inches of lead.
The result of the compilation is recorded on custom 2-inch wide magnetic FeCr tapes, aged for two weeks, and then compared three-way in a vintage Ahmdal Corporation 470V/8 that is carefully maintained by a squad of vegan hermit celibate engineers with the highest DoD security clearances, and kept permanently in an inert atmosphere of CO2 and Argon.
If the comparison shows no errors, only then can the binaries be deployed to customers.
- jameshart 4y agoThe digital to analog conversion in the tape recording process is going to introduce noticeable smoothing and artifacting. You really need an all-analog process to bring through more of the original punch of the compilers and avoid making the resulting program woolly and harsh.
- mrguyorama 4y agoI worry for the engineers kept in an inert atmosphere
- elzbardico 4y agoWhat? This is AUDIOPHILE code!!! are you suggesting that the developers should be allowed to *gasp* breath on the computer which is compiling the code?!? Of course we can't allow that, it would introduce impurity and artifacts in the sound. They should use BSL4 vests with a closed circuit respirator!
