Isn't DNS a catastrophic clusterfuck which also had to be patched up multiple times to not allow people burning down the whole world? I mean, yes, it's doing its job, but mainly because of people doing their job.
- drakythe 1y agoPeople who are malicious or see an opportunity for gain will always abuse a system. Just because the DNS system has had to be patched to handle the abuse doesn't mean its badly designed. If it were as badly designed as your comment seems to imply it wouldn't be able to operate even half as well as it does. The combustion engine's fundamental design is pretty damn good and that it had to be updated to handle unleaded gasoline isn't a knock (pun... intended?) against that design.
- Xelbair 1y agoQuite the opposite: as it designed in a way that it could be patched and extended, while also being performant.
