I wonder if current technology can achieve the same level of reliability.
For software, I fear complexity would make it much harder to build something that works for 50+ years, the probability of some nasty long term overflow bug or slow memory leak would make that difficult.
- inapis 3y agoI don't think there's anything, besides economics, preventing current technology to achieve the same reliability.

Yes, although that is very rarely a design goal. >For software, I fear complexity would make it much harder to build something that works for 50+ years, the probability of some nasty long term overflow bug or slow memory leak would make that difficult. Not that hard to handle. You just need to setup an appropriate architecture. In Aeronautic software systems you often have forced resets, if the software is not reaching certain points of exrcution. You also do not have memory leaks, since you do not have dynamic memory.
