soft failures add complexity and ambiguity to your system, as it creates many paths and states you have to consider. It’s generally a good idea to keep the exception handling simple, by failing fast and hard.
here is a nice paper, that highlights some exception handling issues in complex systems
it’s safe to assume there are similar issues in closed source. A big part of the snowden leaks was about how NSA could access lots of data at will. It wouldn’t surprise me if they also could execute code.
Also there is stuxnet. But I am not sure, if there were intentional backdoors, or only some “natural occuring” RCE.
These are not the only two knee surgeries that exist, by any stretch.
If I was talking about every single kind of knee surgery, I would have said so.
This should be the end of it, but you went on and constructed a personal attack from your faulty assumptions. I think that merrits some more “defense” on my part.
When there is a statement without an explicit quantifier, the quantifier becomes ambiguous. Assuming the all-quantifier in this case was your personal decision. Since you construct an insulting argument from this faulty and intentional assumption, I can only assume malice. If the ambiguity was a problem, you could have simple asked. Or better yet: Do what everyone else did and click the link. If you still thought, the ambiguity was an issue, you could have just pointed it out, instead of making an insult out of it.
Please don’t spread medical misinformation
Tell that to someone who actually spreads medical misinformation. Not only was my joke correct, I even provided a credible source, which is far beyond what you can expect from a comment on a shitposting community.
it’s not helpful
the information, that many knee-surgeries only work through placebo-effect is very helpful. In fact my simplified and sensational (and true) claim probably made many people click on the link, which helped spread the message even further.
Also I think it sets a good example to provide sources for all interesting claims, even if it is on a shitposting sub.
Because megacorps are at least “smart enough” to pretend they aren’t trying to take over the world.
there are enough examples for corps doing evil things. You hear about them less often, because they cover their tracks and the outcry is generally smaller than when governments do similar things.
Whereas governments have a tendency to justify a lot of horrible shit for righteous reasons.
corps justify a lot of horribble shit for financial reasons. Is that better?
I don’t see how “scammers creating scam repos” [2] is newsworthy at all. At least the headline seems like a big nothing-burger to me.
farther down in the article are 2 interesting informations, namely this diagram [1] and the fact that scammers seem to have moved from pip to github, and then started to use forks to make their scam-clones appear more believable.
[2] 1000 guys make 1000 clones of 1000 legit libraries, and than create 1000 forks of their clones, to make them seem more legit than the original lib. 999 of each 1000 clones get autofiltered by github
