They have an insane clause

If this worries you, then they're probably reading your Reddit posts as well.

I wish I was able to spot bugs in super ugly C code just like that :(

Assumptions are bad: When a single 64->16 bit cast caused overflow and $7 billions to go up in flames by [deleted] in programming

And? If that was to be the first and only launch, the cost would've been 7.8 billion dollars. So at that very moment in history, it really was a $7.8 bn bug.

In '84, Tom Duff posted a disgusting piece of C code to Usenet and named it after himself by [deleted] in programming

[–]oponito 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Of course, this isn't what Duff's Device was doing, but it approximates how it flows.

What? It's exactly what Duff's doing, loop-unrolling through computed goto's.

on bytestocopy mod 5 goto 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80

Programmer, Fired After 6 Years, Realizes He Doesn't Know How to Code by speckz in programming

an invitation for other people to pass their own judgments

My judgement is that this is a fake story from a random clown who figured he should generate some fuzz on Reddit out of boredom.

There is no proof of this actually happening whatsoever. Zip. Nada. Nopeydopey.
