I am an expert programmer. Been my craft for almost 20 years. I even work on real-world NP-hard problems... complicated shit.

In a system like this, the amount of testing, unit testing, records of unit testing are enormous. There are automatic builds every time code is modified, it goes through all the unit tests, there are stress tests, tests to determine what happens on a power outage.

Think of a heart pacemaker... there aren't 'glitches' with a pacemaker. The software for a pacemaker is incredibly well tested and essentially tests every aspect that can be thought of. Certainly there is no such thing as bug-free software, even a pacemaker. But the cause of a software failure, ie, glitch, are incredibly low.

This was no glitch. A glitch just doesn't happen with something this important. This was intended. Vote tally software would be incredibly easy software to write, even easier than a pacemaker. This was no glitch.

What needs to happen are the Dominion source code repository needs to be subpoenaed and investigated. Normally I would be against a government agency doing this, but because this company provides a service to the government, they need to be able to audit it. Technical experts need to analyze the source code history.

They also need to subpoena the source code repository backups.

Exactly. This should be extremely easy to code and test/debug.

Yes, NP-hard is like another language to me. You an engineer?

edit: you said programmer. nm

You can call me an engineer, but I like programmer :-D Most likely something you have uses my software since my big problem I work on pertains to manufacturing. And due to my software, landfills receive significantly less waste.

I have single-handed reduced carbon emissions more than any Prius driving faggot due to all the scrap material I save these companies.

I'm not talking about a ton here or there, I'm talking about hundreds of thousands of tons of waste.
