Matt Parker's, from Stand Up Maths and Numberphile, wife actually worked on the Ariane 5 I believe, and he has spoken in depth about it a few times. Not only was the code not proper, it wasnt even necessary for the sensor to be active when it failed and was only still on to help reduce restart time if the launch was aborted
this video is surprsingly well edited for such a small channel. you deserve way more subs. will definitely share this with friends!
re Grace Hopper, first bug: Last I checked (which was admittedly a long time ago) there is a lot of dispute about that "first bug" story. I mean: no one doubts that a physical bug was found or that it caused problems. And it makes for a very humorous story. But when you try to peg this as the actual origin of this usage of the term "bug" to mean "error in a computer program's logic", from what I've read, it doesn't necessarily check out.
couple typos (7:00), but still a really good, well made informative video!
jesus i thought this video was from a verified channel for a bit, you are EXTREMELY underrated. Please keep up the good work! This is a really good video
Great video! Love the editing and how the stories were put together
whoa! amazing video! i love the production quality, from the editing and stylistic choices to the subject material, this rules! keep up the great work!
5:58 Not sure how old you are, but the y2k bug got exactly the right amount of attention. Because of all that "panic" everybody and their aunt tested what will happen when the computer clocks switched to 2000. Bugs were fixed, companies were prepared, CEOs made sure this is on the top of the lists etc. And the fact that those type of bugs are still around - e.g. GPS week rollover, Y2K38 bug - shows that the panic back then wasn't big enough...
Good videos! I got reccommended the Terry Davis one, subscribed and watched all the other ones after that
Very well made video dude! Got it randomly in my recommended and am always shocked when I get videos like this and how small the channel / view count it. Keep it up :)
babe wake up new essay youtuber dropped
Honestly watching this channel i thought that it might have something like 200k subs I hope this channel would get much more popular. Very nice!
this popped up in my recommended, good vid man. subbed
you have only 100 subs wtf? for a channel this size this is actually pretty well edited actually
You're popping off with this video! Loved the content. Maybe you could have a go on describing big software security breaches? :)
I love the graphics of the documentary, quality could still be improved, your voice is also very good. Keep it up!
At 6:36 the video claims that a software bug in the first gulf war , 1999 was lethal. The war was called "Dessert Storm" and started on January 17th 1991. Better check your computer mate, and the factual sources, you might have a bug in your system😜
It's incomprehensible that your channel has only 914 subscribers, editing is superb & it's visible that you posses technical background when explaining terminology, btw. are you from somewhere in eastern europe? I can approximate because I've got similar accent
Programmer here. Your image for "maximum value" at 1:56 shows all 16 bits as being "1". But for a 16-bit signed integer (in the 2-complement which is by far the most common representation of signed integers in memory), the max value is reached when the most significant bit (for this purpose: the left-most) is "0", only the other 15 bits are "1". "All bits 1" would the representation of a "-1".
