Could you point us to any specific past instances? I'd be interested to read about them.



"we did not have the monitoring or controls to prevent our anti-fraud from hard killing 3% of workloads, including many instances of pg"

Oof.


Needs an anti-anti-fraud service which terminates malfunctioning anti-fraud services.


When I've written similar services, there was a (low) hard cap on how many fraud decisions they could action before they quit and paged. If we were getting hit with a wave of something, a human had to temporarily bump that limit.


Everybody "learns" how to use a computer. It's just a question of what they learn first.


I would propose a new law of interaction design: Whenever something is promoted as a tool that you wouldn't need to learn, then it's actually designed to use you, and you are the tool.


But your comment is a waste. It is just HN dunning-krugerites who were salty that the UNIX way never took off. When it comes to real life, the Poettering approach won, and for several good reasons.


The UNIX way is still doing fine on OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD, Alpine, Gentoo... Poetteringware only won on the distros selling support contracts. "Fixing" what wasn't broken is great for those businesses.

This is a poor analogy. Cars (mostly) don't require a subscription.


Is it just me or does this page keep jumping back to the top when I try to scroll?


Same on iOS. It was probably vibe coded.


It's doing that for me as well (desktop Safari).


It's doing it to me as well in Brave on macOS.
