@volpeon Reactors at least have more controlled software.Software in cars? Much less so.Phones? Complete disaster those, yet needed to contact emergency services.The software used by emergency services? … Hopefully not as bad as I think it is.

@druid @volpeon I'd also hope for like mechanical safeties in place, like circuit breakers but based on temperature that can also switch things off nicely.But well I'm not really afraid when it comes to reactors, a bit like how I'm not afraid of elevators either, there's enough safeties in place.Same for like automated metros.Self-driving cars though? Yeeaahh… can probably drive better than humans on average (specially given how a lot of people drive when drunk/exhausted/… bringing the stats way down), but they could be *so much* better.

@fiore @volpeon @druid @lanodan well, anything before 1957 at least. Assembly was also much more popular for stuff no one would write in it anymore when systems where much more limited

@snacks @volpeon @druid heh, or before assembly was a thing.Like it blew my mind when I learnt that but assemblers (Alick E. Glennie) are as old as compilers (Admiral Grace Murray Hopper), both are from 1952.

@snacks @volpeon @druid @lanodan the fortran code i write for university is probably older than any x86 assembly that a modern compiler generates

@snacks @volpeon @druid Yeah, plus code typically only changes outside of bugfixes due to external factors which for a nuclear reactor would probably just be regulations rather than say completely new hardware standards.

@fiore @druid @lanodan @volpeon idk what you're trying to say, that the codebase is older than the latest x86 extensions?

@snacks @volpeon @druid @lanodan meaning that its probably the same kind of code that someone in the 70s couldve written . while x86 asm moves faster and includes features much more frequently than that , u could definitely not run a highly x86 specific highly optimized program written today even 10 years ago , it just wont assemble

@snacks @druid @lanodan @volpeon idk i see the “assembly old” thing everywhere and it pmo because many ppl who say it are webdevs whk literally dont know what they are talking about and think “assembly” is “old style programming” and “assembly” is like . a Programming Language when it literally isnt

@snacks @fiore @volpeon @druid Reminds me that some of the Perl that I wrote got successfully tested on 90's versions of Perl.(thanks cpantesters)Plus got some C89 code as well (including some at dayjob, thanks IBM z/OS for still being UNIX95 instead of more recent versions ^^).
