There's 2 hard things in life: naming things (knowing who to tell) and cache invalidation (forgetting to tell them).
When it's totally outside our control, we can always let the great Debugger know how things are going, and if there's a problem, ask to stop time and hack some solution in. We have to live with the consequences of that being answered though, so be careful what you pray for!
- mistermann 5y agoThe Great Debugger, how can one get in touch with this entity?
- peterburkimsher 5y agoWell, being omnipresent, it's not hard to make sure that your message is heard. And being omniscient, language shouldn't be a problem. We just want to make sure our messages go to the right entity. And that requires naming things. In whose name do you pray? There is a neat end-of-file marker that works in most human languages though: "Amen." When the Debugger stepped into human life, now that was something special, Immanuel. His name seems like the most logical name to talk to, because we can know Him personally.
