flaky: adj. (var sp. flakey) Subject to
frequent lossage. This use is of course related to
the common slang use of the word to describe a person as eccentric, crazy,
or just unreliable. A system that is flaky is working, sort of —
enough that you are tempted to try to use it — but fails frequently
enough that the odds in favor of finishing what you start are low.
Commonwealth hackish prefers dodgy or
wonky.
