What sets distributed systems engineering apart is the probability of failure and, worse, the probability of partial failure. If a well-formed mutex unlock fails with an error, we can assume the process is unstable and crash it. But the failure of a distributed mutex’s unlock must be built into the lock protocol.

I would absolutely believe it. Second only to overconfidence bias, bettors routinely underestimate the probability of losing runs and magnitude of possible drawdowns. They also fail to understand the difference between EV winners and losers is small. I have just the book for them https://t.co/GbAsBTLlt8
