in reply to Jonathan Lamothe • • •There's so such thing as a Heisenbug on deterministic computers.

in reply to Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. • •@Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. Intellectually, I understand this.
I think that computers just trick us into believing them to be deterministic.

in reply to Jonathan Lamothe • • •They aren't quite as deterministic as we might like them to be these days. I think some CPUs have a quantum randomness source, and task-scheduling across multiple computation units often _feels_ non-deterministic to me.
Plus, I do believe the term "Heisenbug" can be applied to bugs that go away when you turn on debugging/profiling/tracing or any other type of monitoring system that might be useful to diagnosis, even if everything is perfectly deterministic.
