minus-squareXerxos@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up0arrow-down1·2 months agoAll programs can be written with on less line of code. All programs have at least one bug. By the logical consequences of these axioms every program can be reduced to one line of code - that doesn’t work. One day AI will get there.
minus-squareLemminary@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 months agoOn one line of code you say? *search & replaces all line breaks with spaces*

minus-squareAmberskin@europe.publinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 months agoJust to boast my old timer credentials. There is an utility program in IBM’s mainframe operating system, z/OS, that has been there since the 60s. It has just one assembly code instruction: a BR 14, which means basically ‘return’. The first version was bugged and IBM had to issue a PTF (patch) to fix it.
minus-squareDaPorkchop_@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 months agoOkay, you can’t just drop that bombshell without elaborating. What sort of bug could exist in a program which contains a single return instruction?!?
