For decades, programmers have talked about the tendency of software to
become less reliable over time as ārot,ā but Konrad Hinsen makes a
compelling case that the right metaphor is ācollapse,ā because the
reason software degrades is that the ground underneath it (hardware,
operating systems, libraries, programming languages) has shifted, like
the earth moving under your house.
Building on this metaphor, Hinsen identifies strategies we use to keep
our houses standing: building only on stable ground; building in
reinforcements to counteract the expected degree of shaking; fixing the
house after every quake, or giving up and rebuilding the house every
time it falls down.
These strategies are of limited use to software developers, though:
building in a risk-free environment means using systems that donāt
change, which severely limits your options (some large fraction of ATM
transactions today loop through a system running COBOL!); we donāt
really know how to make software that remains reliable when its
underlying substrates change; and rebuilding software from scratch over
and over again only works for very trivial code.
Which really leaves us with only option 3: constant repairs.
I love this analysis but I wonder where ātechnology debtā fits in (the
idea that you shave a corner or ignore a problem, then have to devote
ever-larger amounts of resources to shoring up this weak spot, until,
eventually, the amount of work needed to keep the thing running exceeds
all available resources and it collapses).
Not all of them. 30 and 50 arenāt spelled with the letter e in it ā¦
father godĀ
ā¦if you can split a number in half evenly, itās even. 30 and 50 are odd.
-_-ā
(15+15=30
25+25=30)
25+25 = 30? You sure about that??
Lord have mercyā¦.
Bye
3 days into 2018 smh
LMAOOOOOOO
One
Three
Five
Nine
And since everything else after that is a variant of these numbers, then all odds have the letter āEā.
š£YOU FORGOT SEVEN!!
It keeps getting worse.
LMAOOO WHAT IS GOING ON
My head hurtsā¦
This is why that Tumblr University shit was the dumbest idea ever just look at this
who failed yall?
IM SCREAMING
You whole ass forgot about eight – a number with an e and is pretty fucking even
why would 8 be brought up if itās EVEN in a post about ODDS??????? the post said āevery single ODD number has an āeā in itā not āevery single number with an āeā is oddā what the fuck
3 days until 2019 and weāre still here
happy New yearās eve
Iām going to bring this flaming dumpster into 2019 so future generations can see what a mistake Tumblr was
Er, guys two is odd and doesnāt have an e. Just sayingā¦
did you deadass just try to tell me two is odd? iām fucking crying throw the whole website away
Reblogging for the last oneš
The one thing I notice is that no matter how much you want to throw this site away, you just canāt.
TWO IS ODD?!?! PFFFTT IāM SCREAMING
Wait what about zero thatās an odd number ,no?
ok but hear me out fifty and thirty make up for the fact they have no e by the way they are pronounces third-E fifth-E
bro why do 30 and 50 matter THEYāRE FUCKING EVEN
what the actual fuck is happening
1 is an even number
Iām gonna smack you
-30 and -50 have an e in them
Wait why are we so quick to throw away the Zero idea
Zero isnāt a number
It canāt be divided by two though, can it
It can??? 0/2=0??
OD NUMBERS
onE
thrEE
fivE
sEvEn
ninE
OD numbers huh?
Anything that ends with a 0,2,4,6,8 is even and the rest is odd (1,3,7,9) stop freaking out yāall
YOU FORGOT 5
DUDE WHAT ABOUT FOUR
What about it?????
THAT DOESNāT HAVE E IN IT
THATāS BECAUSE ITāS EVEN?????
A R E Y O U G U Y S O K A Y
IM FUCKIN SOBBING HAVAGAFDHFDHHBJJ
im rblogging this again oof
Is it too late to change my major after I already received the degree? Asking for a friendā¦ š£
