In this case it might be hard to improve. It's a message generated by the client which means that it was expecting something from the server and instead the connection was terminated.

It's a sign that something has gone wrong on the server side, but it's impossible for the client to know what that is. Especially because most of the time MySQL connections are each a thread and there may be time between when something server side terminated the thread and when the client tries to talk to the server again. It's better for the server to release all the resources immediately instead of waiting for the client so it can return a more helpful error message.
I don't think most of these are realistic. In most error modalities, you simply won't know whether trying again is the right medicine (and if you do, you'd most likely not see an error message). The error may be anything from a cosmic ray to a bad release to an OVHcloud-class datacenter fire, from a software POV you really can't tell.
Not only that, a Lunar space elevator to L1 can be fabricated from Kevlar.

Now, you do need 50,000 km of Kevlar, and that sounds like a lot until I tell you that there are 1.2 million km of submarine cable right now. We got this one.
A brief description of the error, an error code, and (depending on context) instructions on how to get help is much nicer than “something went wrong.”

They have custom FPGAs in Azure to offload networking and storage from the host CPU.

You want to be a PhD employee so that you don't have to pay college out of your own pocket.

Sure, most would prefer to be rich, or have their parents be rich, or having gotten a full ride or some other stipend. But that's not the norm for most PhD students. For most, the alternative to not being a PhD student employee is to leave college and become an employee employee.
I have spent linear weeks looking at dialog box errors no more descriptive than:

Error -1

These could come from anywhere.

If there had been a cute message associated with the error, I could have cracked open the binaries in question, locating the code posting the verbose error, and likely found the problem faster. At least it would have narrowed it down to one DLL out of dozens.

Once again it seems necessary to remind people just how unsuitable Mars is for human colonization while the Moon is significantly better:

1. Lava tubes will be a cheap form of initial habitable space. Additionally, the Moon is geologically stable;

2. Gravity is too low in both places so you'll probably have to still live in spin gravity;

3. Mars has an atmosphere but it's basically a vacuum. It's just enough to cover all your stuff in dust;

4. Mars is poisonous. The surface is covered in many toxic substances (eg perchlorates);

5. People have a vision of living on the surface of Mars. That'll basically never happen. Radiation is still a problem. Living underground just makes way more sense. And any above ground structure (eg domes) can just as easily be built on the Moon;

6. Distance from Earth is a significant downside to Mars and a significant advantage for the Moon. You can still maintain real-time communication with Earth. And supplies are days not months away.

Mars really only has 2 advantages:

1. Day length. Mars day is almost Earth normal. The Moon is tidally locked so its day is ~28 Earth days long; and

2. Day-night temperature differential on the surface. It's really large on the Moon.

Why this matters is that even though you'd be living underground you still need power and solar power is really the best option. On the Moon this means your best options are the poles.

The standard retort is "terraforming". People who say this don't seem to comprehend what a massive undertaking this is. Example: the Earth loses (IIRC) ~1 million tons of atmosphere every year due to Jeans Escape Energy. That doesn't matter on Earth because the atmosphere is so much more massive.

So at actual atmosphere on Mars would have to be so large such that a similar loss would be insigifnicant.

> once a process is no longer bleeding edge, what's the benefit of keeping manufacturing details secret?

Even if it's not bleeding edge, there still might be special features or secrets they want to protect. For really old nodes, I think it boils down to two reasons: 1) Clients with money don't care about open design rules, so there was basically no demand for it. 2) Foundries generally have a pretty strong culture of secrecy, so without someone asking externally they're not going to open source anything.
I don't really have any reason to be skeptical.

These days, if something is print only or has similar stupid hurdles, I suspect that the purpose is market segmentation. Some people will prefer to avoid the hassle and just pay full price or go without. Which means the company can offer that much more value to the people who are willing to go through the hassle.
In a similar vein, I quite dislike Microsoft's personification of Windows in the messages such as "We couldn't log in ...", "Let's finish setting up ..." or "We are adding new features ..."
I work infosec so my question would what computer? Server? Lab workstation? Kiosk?

Hardened windows 10/11 or Macos. My threat model will be for persistent threat actors so aside from hardening, I will collect a ton of edr and network data and couple it with purpleteaming+threathunting.

Believe it or not windows can be locked down tight and macos can get pwned easily as well.

I will of course ban email as first order business unless you have an exemption and you don't access a secure network. Basically what they do now by having a separate dedicated machine for accesing a secure network with usb ports soldered off. Admins will use MS recommended privileged access workstations for admin activity which is separate by policy from secure and insecure workstations.

No layer 3 lan traffic. Each workstation gets a routed vlan , restricts traffic on the host and router acl to an internal vpn terminator that will also act as a firewall to implement MAC to resources. EAP-TLS where required.

Secure network is not connected to any other network but not airgapped either. Airgapping is for data storage/processing dedicated nodes not user workstations.

What they do now with smartcards sounds good for logins.

JEA, Cred guard, wdac whitelisting, blah blah hardening like I said before but hardening is the start as is "all patches are emergency patches". Detection, Detection ,Detection (includes both types of hunts); shut up and give me all your logs. TLS decryption and packet capture device on every router interface (netwitness?).

Of course Top secret//SC, codeword clearance and above will never touch a computer and Printers, came, iot,etc... will also be monitored very closely and hardened even with segregation. Of course you can't take a secure computer off premises and insecure computers get wiped if they stay off prem too long and are all subject for quarterly firmware and hardware integrity inspection just like secure computers. No builtin cams or mics on any computer period.

I am sure I missed a lot but for workstations this comes to mind. Servers, cloud, mobile are a whole other beast.

Maybe because ‘gone away’ is the best it can know without a full network diagnostic? Else why is the connection timed out: did it do something wrong and get punished?

Also stop treating your users like idiots. The "Something went wrong" of Microsoft products is just offensive when it doesn't even show you the error code - it's basically saying that you're too stupid to understand, so we're not going to show you exactly what happened. I'd maybe understand if it was just MS Word doing this, but when an Xbox Devkit does that, which you know - by definition - only professionals can have and use, then it's worse then useless, it's actively condescending.
I am guilty of writing weird errors for my own, private programs, such as "That'll put marzipan on your pie plate, bingo!" for something nonsensical in a sanity check, "Fusion of Brundlefly and telepod successful" when something has been accomplished that you really do not want, and so forth.

Anything that gets near prod has errors in complete sentences which suggest what might have gone wrong, where to look, and so on.
Really good post thank you.
Thanks for this, your post resonated with me. It’s good to know that most of what you did is what I ended up doing for a customer implementation (we’re using Odoo and Queue Job to bring in sales from Shopify) and Shopify doesn’t always always guarantee the ordering of their order webhooks payloads.
I hated that bomb. It tended to appear at 11:00 PM when trying to print from Adobe PageMaker (pre-Indesign) at the end of a long sprint to get master prints to a publisher. That bomb meant I wasnt't going home for a few hours because MacOS had chosen that as the moment where some extension, previously playing nicely, was in conflict with another. It meant I'd get to do a binary search through deactivating /reactivating extensions to find the offender.

Keep in mind that each iteration required a reboot, and this was at a point in computing history where booting a computer filled with specialized publishing & editing programs each with their own hooks into the OS was a task that could be measured by the length of an extremely generous bathroom break.

And all I had to go on for error messages was a bomb and the number "-10 error". I hated that bomb. I don't think I fully recovered from the trauma & stress caused by unstable OS's until well into OS X's life and a few years of Windows 7 on the MS side of things.

But deadpan errors are not great either. Error messages can cause anguish, and it would be good to have emotionally intelligent messages communicated to humans. It doesn't need to be "cutesy", but it can communicate in language that makes people feel less anguish. They should also tell the user what to do next, not just "that didn't work". Don't leave the user hanging.

There's something to trying to figure out how to adjust your productivity structures to be more productive, and then eventually you hit a falloff in terms of where it stops helping.

This blogpost feels very ironic to me... I know I'm not the first to point it out, that the blogpost's obsession with a feeling of productivity is just way too meta given the blogpost itself, but the point where about 5 self-help resources are all quoted is the point where the whole thing started to feel a bit doomed to me.
Maybe even unforseen files outside of your app, right?

If you want to give useful advice it’s worth considering what might happen to those reading it not just your lucky history of avoiding problems. Avoiding jogging outside in favor of a treadmill is a net increase in safety without negative health impacts. Replacing it with an elliptical further reduces risks etc.

On the other hand if you want sell a lifestyle then treadmills etc are boring. Which is why a major reason so much popular advice is terrible.
This simply feels like how everyone iterates on a "google search" for something.

You search the way you think you should at first, and don't get what you want.

But that search informs you of the "terms of the domain" in which you're searching.

So you then refine your search to include those terms, and iterate until you find what you were looking for in the first place, but weren't an expert in (SME)
You can already do this by releasing a new version of the software at 3 years under a new license. And the new version can be identical to the old.

Brother, my 2nd startup was 5 years old, lost a ton of money and time. Had to kill it and pivot to a 3rd one at 36. This one is doing better, much better.

It is tough. But if there was no risk involved in doing a startup wouldn’t every tom, dick and Harry have done it already? You put yourself through big risk for asymmetric gains, isn’t it? This pain is the risk that played out this time.

Just take a break; get onto the salary wagon for a few months; gain back your mental peace and confidence and then come back.

The planet has a limited lifespan anyway and even if we somehow manage to clean everything up we’d still reach and endgame, and so will all living things. Life tends to spread but non intelligent life is limited in what it can achieve. Therefore it is our duty to spread outside the boundaries of earth, because with us, other life forms will follow. Crazy as it may sound but we are likely biologically programmed to do so but we haven't reached the right level of understanding it yet.

No worries, and thanks for your sympathy! Just wanted to point out that a lot of the time in situations like these, there's really no good advice to give, even if you really feel like giving some advice.
An error message isn't a place to be appealing to your personality. It should be simple, concise, with an ok button to acknowledge. Just like when there's a problem with my car it should say "engine issue, contact workshop", and not "motor had an ouchie, call mothership for help".
I still use it every day. Still learning new things - and probably will be for the remainder of my time here.
Yes, you are correct. If you consume only distilled water, you will get sick. This of course means not eating or drinking anything else.

But it should be obvious that your mineralisation is not on a knife-edge. The tiny amount of minerals lost by drinking distilled water is massively made up in the other stuff you eat and drink.

How to Estimate Distance Using Just Your Thumb
Cutesy messages can be confusing to people whose first language is not English or who are not familiar with current informal spoken English. The use of “This is awkward” in that meaning is, I believe, fairly recent; at least, I don’t remember hearing it when I was young (I’m sixty-five). Someone who learned English out of textbooks probably has never seen it; older native English speakers might be confused by it as well.

The developers of a certain password manager used to send e-mails to users that were full of slangy, jokey text. While that may have created a positive impression of the company for younger, native-English-speaker users, I felt that it was very inappropriate for software as important to its users as a password manager. The English in recent e-mails from that company is bland and direct, which is good.
The next course of action would be to split your distance calculation into multiple steps - a few dimensions at a time.

Then we need to decide on an order to these comparisons - what about using entropy derived from the training data?

Then as a further improvement, what if the order need not be constant, depending on which group the data point is closer to? And what if not all dimensions need to be considered?

Before you know it, woah! You've reinvented trees!

There's some things I guess I really don't understand about hiring and employment. What were these employees doing the past 1 or 2 or 5 quarters? What were their jobs and responsibilities? Has this economic slowdown really resulted in those responsibilities drying up?

One common answer is that they still have work to do, but Walmart will put that work on remaining employees to save a dime. If this is true, why wasn't it being done before? Why is there that much wasted slack in employee productivity potential?

Another common answer is that they hired too fast and now need to readjust for future expectations. This makes sense in terms of smaller startups who may have miscalculated market trends and have limited financial runways, but for the largest private employer on the planet? Who is financially profitable and self-sufficient? Really?

Does management simply pay zero attention to headcount and payroll until a bad quarter happens and then they start cleaning house?
