Retry pattern – A fundamental pattern for systems resilience (2018)
- cipher_system 7y agoI like how the web site has overridden the default scroll behaviour, it's so much better this way. Said no one ever.

- dang 7y agoComplaints about issues with page design appear frequently. There's a couple problems with them. One is that they distract from the topic of the submission, which is the reason why it's here. That's doubly the case when there aren't many comments yet, because threads are sensitive to initial conditions. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&query=by%3Adang%20%22sensitive%20to%20initial%20conditions%22&sort=byDate&type=comment https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu... The other reason is that there are only a few such complaints that get recycled over and over, so they tend to be repetitive. Curiosity withers under repetition, and curiosity is what this site is for. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&query=curiosity%20withers&sort=byDate&type=comment https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu... This doesn't mean that good page design isn't important, it means that part of the art of contributing well to a forum like HN is to resist bringing certain kinds of important things into the threads.
- ritz_labringue 7y agoThanks. This makes sense.
- jeffreygoesto 7y agoHere's a great transcript from which I learned "why restarts help" (somewhere in the middle, the rest is well worth reading as well): https://ferd.ca/the-zen-of-erlang.html https://ferd.ca/the-zen-of-erlang.html

- iratewizard 7y agoThis Pradeep guy spams his blog posts here a lot. The majority are low skill tutorials. Even this, which sounds like it would be an interesting post, isn't.
- carlmr 7y agoNot sure if I've seen any before, but this one looks low effort, even though it's an interesting topic to explore there's no value provided.
- dang 7y agoOk, but please make the point without getting personal ("this Pradeep guy").
- iratewizard 7y agoWhy? The personal aspect to it is important. He is self promoting his own low quality blog which breaks multiple rules.
