[Перевод] Инцидент с Therac-25
Когда пристёгиваешь пациента к электронной пушке, способной выстреливать пучком частиц с энергией 25 МэВ, следование процедурам — вопрос жизни и смерти. Оператор, эксплуатировавшая аппарат лучевой терапии в Онкологическом центре Восточного Техаса (East Texas Cancer Center, ETCC), работала с ним достаточно долго для того, чтобы запомнить все процесс. 21 марта 1986 года оператор пригласила пациента в процедурную. Она проверила его назначение и уложила его на стол Therac-25. Над пациентом находилась диафрагма излучателя — поворотный диск, позволявший выбрать тип излучаемого устройством пучка. Сначала оператор переключила поворотный диск в простой режим оптического лазера, чтобы луч ударил в небольшой участок грудины пациента.

Ah, yes, the Therac-25 incident... because who doesn't enjoy a quick jaunt down memory lane to when a software bug was (literally) a killer feature? 💀🖥️ It's like the article took a wrong turn into a time machine and forgot to get out, leaving us with a listicle more scrambled than an amateur coder's first Python script. 🙄⌨️

Musk and his doggy boys want to destroy Social Security.
That's it.
None of this is about making anything better.
Name their lies.
This is a "Therac 25" redesign, but where the real goal is to kill all the patients under the beam, as quickly and painfully as possible.
The sooner we understand the lie and name it loudly, the sooner we get out of under the beam and the more likely we might survive.

Fun is:
Nerd talking about Therac-25 with the radiologist while she's taking my images. She even let me look at the software's UI 😁 -

I agree: the Therac-25 incident should be know to devs everywhere https://thedailywtf.com/articles/the-therac-25-incident

From the looks of it, the #NATS meltdown and the development style of Austrian software company #Frequentis will provide an excellent example for programming teachers for years. It might even surpass #ariane5 floating point, NASA's #MarsClimateOrbiter's meter vs feet parachute and #Therac25

Do you know about the Therac 25 medical radiation machine? #therac25
It is a blueprint of how software and hardware engineering going totally wrong - causing the death of people.
Multiple stages of security? With independent sensors and fuse at each layer?
We do not need that, a bit of code is sufficient...
