I’ve been fascinated about the software they run on the space shuttle ever since I read this article years ago:  They Write the Right Stuff

Today, I ran across this article about Self-Modifying Code written by someone that used to work at Lockheed on the shuttle. He describes using it for fault tolerance down near the hardware.

I imagine the computers running the Federal Reserve have similarly robust features baked in.  Interesting stuff.
