展示HN：软件如何失败——一本关于复杂系统失败的书（样章）
根据理查德·库克关于复杂系统故障的研究，我写了一本书，探讨了当每个组件都正常运作时，为什么像奈特资本（Knight Capital）损失4.4亿美元这样的灾难仍然会发生。

这本书探讨了复杂系统故障背后的模式——从宇宙射线在投票机中翻转比特，到Therac-25辐射过量事件。关键见解是：传统的“根本原因分析”根本误解了这些系统是如何实际发生故障的——故障是由各个组件之间的相互作用引发的，而这些组件本身都是正常工作的。

Based on Richard Cook's research on complex system failures, I wrote a book exploring why disasters like Knight Capital's $440M loss happen when every component functions correctly.<p>Free sample chapters: <a href="https://leanpub.com/how-software-fails" rel="nofollow">https://leanpub.com/how-software-fails</a><p>The book explores patterns behind complex system failures—from cosmic rays flipping bits in voting machines to the Therac-25 radiation overdoses. Key insight: traditional "root cause analysis" fundamentally misunderstands how these systems actually fail—they emerge from interactions between components that were individually functioning correctly.<p>Feel free to grab the sample chapter and give it a try.
