- dragonwriter 1y agoA generalized guiding principle works in one particular use case, so this proves it is a good generalized guiding principle?
- gjsman-1000 1y agoSurvivor’s bias.
- jmull 1y agoCircular argument.
- oblio 1y agoTCP is basically the only example of that principle that works and it only works because the protocol is low level and constrained. Almost all the implementations of that principle from close to the app layer are abominations we're barely keeping running.
