Is there such a ridiculous story?

>>5

Wasn’t it because it became the Bulwark Festival last July?

Falcon Sensor

I wonder what happened with the compensation.

>>9

There must be a lot of material…

The engineer I imagined during my student days.

What I saw before was the one for Excel…

It’s impressive that you’re thoroughly checking the crash dumps…

It says there are 8.5 million damaged units!

I’m not really that knowledgeable, but isn’t it pretty serious that the part being tested is bugged?

>>21

Is it getting pretty serious?

Even with people like this, mistakes happen…

>>24

I wonder how long it would have taken in real life…

>>86

It seems that the problem area will be fixed in 1 hour and 18 minutes.

From here, Koichi-kun will rush to the site to further address the problem.

Are you saying the arguments are different?

The tool I was using for verification was originally bugged.

Well, that makes me wonder about the verification so far…

The troubleshooting process has a bit of a stand battle vibe, doesn’t it?

I’m glad it wasn’t an error in a more troublesome area.

>>34

Not interested…

It’s nostalgic, isn’t it? This was the one that caused a huge mess at the airport.

It was quite an amusing incident that the security product CrowdStrike was the cause of the crash.

The verification part is important, but it is also the most difficult aspect.

Tests are conducted with the assumption that problems will arise, but whether that can address all issues is quite difficult to say.

Even if there were bugs in the sensors from past releases, there is a possibility that they could have bypassed the checking mechanism, so there may be potential bugs remaining regardless of which version you revert to…?

Since Japanese companies don’t have a very large share, was the uproar mostly at the airport?

It seems that in America, there has been a significant impact on administration and hospitals as well.

No matter how talented the people you gather or how strict you are, bugs will still occur…

>>39

There is a saying that even capable individuals will experience a 30% drop in efficiency after working over 10 hours a day for three consecutive days.

I’m becoming like Okuyasu while reading the thread images.

Is it about last year’s incident?

Engineers can have conversations like this so smoothly, huh?

>>43

It depends on the time and situation.

>>43

If it’s a system I’m used to, I’ve done things like having someone read out all the code values from the error log over the phone and then I communicate the solution through mental debugging a few times.

>>43

It can be done (people will be called).

>>78

Since the emergency situation has passed, we can only have a conversation if we both understand the content, otherwise there’s no point in talking…

Is today’s ETC failure related to something like this happening…?

>>46

It is definitely happening…

>>49

So today’s events will become a meme too…

(Kouichi-kun… you are really dependable.)

It seems that the ETC is supposed to start around 0:30 on the 6th, so it might be a night batch…

If you’ve been involved with the system for about five years, you can do it fairly well.

But most of the time, projects change, so there are many things that I can’t do on the spot.

I like this too.

>>56

That’s right, 100% our company.

Mysterious footsteps following you.

Watching stories like this, I feel that even if they talk about measures to prevent recurrence, they only seem to function in a pinpoint manner.

An engineer becomes a professional after creating a failure report, going to the client, and facing the consequences.

Are there actually any measures to prevent the recurrence of the situation depicted in the thread?

>>63

Multiplication of check mechanisms

Josuke is clever…

If we limit it to the phenomenon in the thread image, it was something that could have been prevented simply by preparing one PC in a test environment and running it.

Aren’t things like this supposed to be tested in actual environments in collaboration with users before being released?

Why are you suddenly testing in practical lessons and causing a big problem?

I wonder what happened with the compensation.

It’s easy to say that you should program in a way that always checks the number of parameters and the format for any program, but that increases costs accordingly…

Of course I’ll do a test or two.

It’s impossible to perfectly cover all test cases.

The one that scared me when it was posted during the New Year.

>>72

Spending time in the office to deal with the issues of the batch that failed during the end of the year and New Year for three consecutive years revives memories of that time for me.

I guess we should at least do something like a so-called integration test or comprehensive test…

>>73

Is there something you haven’t done?

>>81

It seems you’ve entered “…” which doesn’t contain any translatable content. Please provide a complete sentence or text for translation.

>>81

To reduce testing hours, it is not uncommon to handle minor adjustments at the unit level.

>>73

I’m repeatedly told to make sure to do end-to-end testing…

I remember being surprised that most of the anonymous users in the threads at the time didn’t know about the method to boot in safe mode.

There are many responses that seem to not even understand the slang being used, so it’s strange for a forum that has a lot of older people.

>>74

Many of the unnamed people don’t have computers anymore.

It’s amazing how the sense of tension in approaching the truth comes through, even though I don’t understand the content at all.

If you are involved for a long time, you can understand the flow of the system and the parts that are strange.

On the contrary, it’s tough because even if I’ve only been involved a little, I’m expected to understand things under the assumption that I grasp them well.

Every time I hear about the bugs conveyed by my seniors that stop the customer’s line, and the fact that I can’t go home (for as many days as it takes) until I correctly verify the bug and production resumes, my stomach hurts.

Maybe the next collaboration will be ETC.

There can be countless unexpected stories, after all…

“Once it happens, people say, ‘Why didn’t you anticipate this?'”

Unless it’s the era of the Family Computer

Is there any benefit to compressing the year data down to two digits in modern times?

>>87

Not at all.

It’s just that since ancient times, there has been a system that has been in motion, and its remnants still remain…

>>92

I don’t like it…

Projects that aren’t made from scratch…

>>87

On the contrary, there is no particular necessity to expand, so it is left unattended.

>>95

There are many places where the mindset of “no curse from a god one doesn’t touch” is prevalent.

>>87

You can reuse the old input data as it is.

If you apply the conversion poorly, it might cause errors.

It’s undoubtedly educational to hear the reasons behind how someone managed to slip through…

It’s impressive how quickly the flow of mistakes comes to mind…

>>91

It’s from past experiences of system failures.

What is needed for the investment is courage! Friendship! Victory!

I think it’s great to have a culture of sharing examples of engineers.

Honestly, I have the impression that the stand battles are progressing with this level of understanding.

There are rarely companies that can spare personnel just to review that kind of code…

The scope of influence of the thread image is crazy worldwide.

If I were watching from the side, it would seem like these two don’t need me at all…

Mayday! But I’ve seen it several times.

Airplane accident caused by a program bug

Since CPUs, memory, and disks have become abundant, there are fewer situations where we need to tune everything very precisely.

It’s time for AI debugging.

>>109

It’s actually convenient for checking verification omissions.

The thread image makes me feel like “It’s a different world from mine…” but here it feels much closer and scary.

I hope that the ETC will be dealt with quickly and become a thing of the past…

As expected of Koichi-kun! (And also Jousuke)

The series of illustrations that makes you feel a bit smarter every time you see them.

Why does Excel automatically delete the leading zero?

>>114

I thought it was unnecessary…

>>117

At least listen before doing it… no, being asked every time would definitely be annoying…

>>117

Therefore, the code value should be a character + number type by attaching a character at the beginning, as it needs to be a numeric type.

>>114

You won’t pad the numbers with zeros, right?

Stop converting it automatically when I load the CSV!

>>125

“Have you started asking if I want to convert?”

I can’t understand a single word of what they’re saying, but I can tell that something amazing is happening and that these two are quite capable.

Are these two the highest level of security personnel on site?

Or are they the kind of people that can be found relatively easily at a company of that level?

>>118

Isn’t it that you can’t even join the company unless you reach this level…?

Kouichi, you are really a dependable guy.

It’s software for forms, not software for databases, like Excel.

In reality, we can’t really say that.

It wasn’t an urgent task, so after the blue screen, we went out for drinks with the team and had a good time.

Why is this collage type even using a proper font?!

Is the ETC still not restored? It’s quite something that it hasn’t been restored even after 19 hours.

I don’t know what kind of contract the SLA is, but this seems like a matter of damages compensation…

I remember there was such an incident…

I understood the reason, but all I can do is have a face that says, “So… what are you going to do?”

>>127

Let’s revert to the original for a moment, tweak the problematic content a bit, make it feel better, and then do it again.

A little bit, a little bit.

>>136

It’s not just a little; if it’s too much, it can induce a different bug, so if you’re going to do it, it’s best to unravel it little by little.

Ah… I’ve become unable to return to the original bug state…

>>164

When I messed up, I was overwhelmed by the urge to immediately run out of the office and jump off to commit suicide…

I wonder why ETC suddenly became like this now.

>>129

I heard it was released yesterday.

Well, there’s an eighty to ninety percent chance that’s the reason, so the person in charge is probably turning pale.

Excel’s bad point is turning off and on.

Is that why our company ID starts from 100 (the following serial number)…?

I wonder why that person tries to take the lead in opening CSVs even though they aren’t suited for it…

>>134

Well, if it can read it properly as it is, then it’s not unsuitable, but the formatting and alignment are not consistent, making it hard to read.

Do not convert.

It turns out that “kokero” is a common term.

I somehow thought our company was local.

If everyone around is capable, they will do something about it before it becomes a problem…

Function release today is explosive! It’s making my heart die~!!

Well, it’s a job like that, so do your best…

Isn’t it possible to roll back the ETC system as well?

>>142

There are cases where it should be possible, but a problem occurs.

>>142

Just because it happened today doesn’t mean the latest update is the cause…

It is clear that the latest update is the cause of the issue in the thread image, so investigating the cause is relatively easy.

I can understand Excel, but the thread images are too specialized and I don’t understand anything at all…

>>144

In summary, the usage parameters increased, but there was a bug in that, and there was also a bug in the testing mechanism used to verify it, which prevented detection.

So it was released and then it crashed…

I’m from Kyushu, so I don’t really understand, but is the ETC malfunction in the city that serious? Has logistics stopped?

>>146

It seems that someone said that a package that was supposed to arrive from Amazon today has changed to delivery unknown, so it appears there was an impact.

Both of you are too capable.

Even with these two, bugs still slip through.

>>147

There are also others besides these two.

These two have been together before.

My attitude towards society is to avoid creating ‘enemies’ such as troubles that make me pull my hair out or keep me awake at night, and I know that this is my own happiness…

>>148

I have recently come to realize that this job is not a “suitable job”…

The ETC issue has only progressed to the second or third frame so far…

>>149

In the first panel, by the time of the dialogue on the right, the cause has already been identified as the system department, so there is a possibility that it may not have even progressed to the first panel.

Despite not announcing major system changes internally at all.

We are looking for talented individuals to address the issues that frequently occur with our company system.

>>153

Not announcing it within the company…!?

Is that even possible???

It’s totally unrelated, but can’t something be done about the RTC system malfunction?

It’s hopeless that the part we were testing was messed up… Well, we should have done something about it…

>>158

It’s an experience that those who don’t mess up or participate in chaotic situations can hardly gain…

Is it pretty bad?

The device in the thread suddenly became one that repeatedly restarts and shows a blue screen endlessly, and I really felt like I wasn’t alive.

https://news.livedoor.com/article/detail/28502401/

It seems that you are working hard towards a comeback, but it feels like it will take some time.

Whether the contingency plan has not been developed or, if it has been, whether it has become a theoretical exercise…

Since I started working, I no longer get annoyed by emergency maintenance in games.

It’s really difficult to check whether completely reverting back to the previous version after identifying the cause will fix it, whether any other issues will occur, and if there are no other impacts beyond just this one.

I hadn’t been watching the news, so I had no idea about the ETC malfunction at all.

They’re doing something amazing like completely opening the toll booths with post-payment options…

Well, I guess there’s no choice but to do it like this…

>>168

The traffic was really bad.

I understand that post-payment procedures are incredibly cumbersome and that NEXCO doesn’t want to deal with it, but aren’t they being blamed for being a bit slow in their judgment?

Even if we roll back, if the DB definition has already been changed and data has been entered, rolling back can be really troublesome… It’s easier if it’s just the app modification though.

I kept it for you! Backup!

About 10 years ago, the same thing happened at Symantec, so the company affected is applying definition files with a one-day delay.

There should be many infrastructure SEs who have been made to design the same thing.

If the logistics stop, the economic losses will be beyond just highway tolls…

If there are such troubles arising from the revision of the already poorly received late-night discounts, the distribution side will definitely be furious.

It’s not just the traffic jam; there was an accident too…

Just imagining it gives me chills; a system that involves human lives is beyond my mental capacity…

How do you handle deferred payment?

>>177

It seems to be a document and a bank transfer.

How many people will pay seriously, and how seriously will NEXCO pursue it…?

I think this might be the reason, but let me verify it a bit more! The other party is angry, so hurry up and do it!? I don’t want to know what happens next!

As expected, there was indeed another bug occurrence.

I wonder what kind of strong mentality developers in charge of building systems for banks and national infrastructure have…

It’s different from what I saw before…

Because the cause is unknown, the staff other than NEXCO Central Japan will probably not be able to sleep for a while.

I’m going to throw Okuyasu into this workplace!
