It gets a lot more complicated from there. The financial system has developed ever more complex systems for channeling money. The purpose of these complications is to wring slightly greater profits out of the system. Competition is intense, and the slightest edge can produce massive profits; hence...
The observations by Peterson and Arellano have profound implications, not just for complex software, but for complex systems in general. This report will take their analysis one step further. A unified theory of failure rates will be presented that removes the paradoxes of the simple Rayleigh ...
the airplane was actually flying with part of its systems disabled, the crew that originally found a system failure was replaced before the failure was completely repaired, the initial catastrophe (out of fuel) was exaggerated by the new style of computer-display “glass cockpit...
How Complex Systems Fail Thanks for Rodolfo Velasco for pointing this article out. Somewhat related, some time back I wrote up some of what I’ve come across over the years on how to avoid systems failing: Designing and Deploying Internet Scale Systems...
How Complex Systems Fail- “Short treatise on the nature of failure; how failure is evaluated; how failure is attributed to proximate cause; and the resulting new understanding of patient safety”. Normalization of deviance- Explores how the factors accounting for disasters accumulates unnoticed until...
In this article, Toptal Solutions Architect Dr. Kyle Kotowick explains how to properly maintain and update systems that are too important to fail. Every enterprise has a “critical” infrastructure. Generally, this means that if the system goes offline, parts (or all) of the business will come...
System failures can significantly impact user experience by causing frustration, delays, and inconvenience. When systems fail, users may be unable to access critical services, lose unsaved work, or experience disruptions in their workflow. This can result in decreased productivity, increased stress, and...

If other solutions fail to resolve the "com.apple.DiskManagement.disenter error 0", reformatting your hard drive should be your final attempt. Reformatting is often effective for various disk issues since it wipes the drive clean and resets it. However, it's important to note that this approa...
Although scientists categorize groups of organs into different body systems, these systems do not work in isolation. A disorder in one system can cause other systems to break down. For example, the pancreas may fail to produce enough of the hormone insulin. This causes the level of glucose in...
