OP is exaggerating a bit, but mostly spot on. There's a wealth of information this.

See ASCE 7-16 Minimum Design Loads and Associated Criteria for Buildings and Other Structures, For wind: Chapters 26-31 for 144 pages of wind load design criteria. (California Building Code and International Building Codes recognize and point to that standard)

Of particular note, is a concept called "Basic Wind Speed" which is derived from mapped values. What you'll find is that its intimately correlated with hurricane landing. Most people live on the coast in the US where the wind speed is highest. Depending on the risk category of the building, a typical value on the West coast is ~105 mph. On the east coast, it vaires by latitude from ~115-200 mph, increasing in all the areas that get hit by hurricanes. To address your skepticism, I assure you things like hurricanes are undeed a significant design concern.

The seismic load is similar.

Both loads are fundamentally designed to give a defined risk of failure from storms and earthquakes with particular recurrence intervals ranging from 50-100 years. (Offhand, I believe this value is ~1% for total collapse with a much higher risk of damage.). It is indeed carefully weighted and considered balance between risk reduction and feasibility, and indeed, having less than 1% risk for intervals over 100 years starts to get rather difficult. We still require it for schools, police stations, and emergency gathering locations and the like, but not normal houses.

Chilling words...
> I think it’s pretty ridiculous to think something more complex than doom isn’t needed...

That isn't what I said, it isn't even close enough to pretend that it isn't a bad faith interpretation designed to strawman an argument where you don't look totally ridiculous. Here, lemme help you get back on track - you said: "The entire doom source code is likely smaller than a single grand theft auto save file." You think I might have been addressing that?

> Maybe you are still ok with 640kb of memory too though? ;)

Oddly enough, I'm currently writing an (eventually) open source firmware for an ancient APC SmartUPS that used a variant of the 8051 MCU... I'm finding the 16K ROM and 256B RAM pretty roomy. I expect the other two people who eventually flash it onto their hardware in the next 30 years will be very pleased.

> random little performance bugs

lol, writing a microtransaction json parser that increases load times by an order of magnitude, for millions of customers, for years - and is so braindead that somebody with all the resources of a freeware decompiler and a stopwatch can do your job better than you... that isn't a "whoops, more seizure t-poses", that is a "I care so little about the quality of my work that I'm not even gonna bother dumping a flamegraph for that 10 minute freeze everyone has to sit through - for years."
About 5 years ago when I was just starting out I found myself designing a responsive course builder. My solution to a responsive interface at this time involved sending a very large stringified HTML file over websockets.

This wasn't a huge problem, but the configuration on Action Cable (Rails wrapper around websockets), logged the entire contents of the message to STDOUT. At a moderate scale, this combined with a memory leak bug in Docker that crashed our application every time one of our staff members tried to perform a routine action on our web app. This action resulted in a single log line of > 64kb, which Docker was unable to handle.

All of this would have been more manageable if it hadn't first surfaced while I was taxiing on a flight from Detroit to San Francisco (I was the only full time engineer). I managed to restart the application via our hosting providers mobile web interface, and frantically instructed everyone to NOT TOUCH ANYTHING until I landed.
I believe that we are going to start seeing the rise of purposely stripped-down software, ie text-only social media platforms or social media platforms with hard-caps on the number of connections you can add per account. Information technology will begin to be viewed through a more biological lens. The best analogy I can think of is our current relationship with food. We acknowledge that our biological reward systems can be hijacked via junk food and we have erected massive systems to curtail these destructive impulses. Despite this, there are still those who gorge themselves on unhealthy food due to their lack of education and/or an inability to afford healthier food. As soon as the negative effects of social media begin to manifest themselves in the upper classes (students failing classes en masse, severe incompetence in the job market, increased generation of brain-dead media) new platforms will be created to allow people to take advantage of technology without being caught up in the biological loopholes that modern social media create. The majority of the lower classes will continue to use exploitative platforms, which will probably become much worse as it is made more explicit that their user-base is made up of a cattle-caste. Much like food, I predict that the health-conscious platforms will erect paywalls and other barriers to entry that will further cement the class divide. It would take me hours to really flesh out what I'm trying to say here but I think that I was able to squeeze some of it out.
If that is "very anti-American sentiment" I'll bet a beer (or 10) that 99% of the earth share that "anti-American sentiment".
You do realise that the US is literally rolling out wide spread facial recognition software as we speak, NK doesn't hold the monopoly on being an authoratarian hellhole.

You are not introvert, you are sociopath.

And this app will “help” people stay this way instead of learning to connect.

This app is cheating. It is like telling your friends you baked a cake while you bought it.

I’d be disappointed if someone was using it with me. Would be OK if they warned me upfront, though.

Heat pumps need plumbing and installation which increases the construction cost.

Agreed that they are the way to go, but it's not going to bring down construction costs.

The author's strawman proposal was a nuclear battery for effectively unlimited onsite power with no marginal cost in order to minimize construction costs.
I see. It's specifically an effect of the trailing arm type of suspension. Damping, the wheel's rotational inertia, the sway bar and lateral movement of the wheel aren't needed to explain this, are they?
Girls and women can tend to communicate distress through self-harm, i.e. "martyrdom". It is a potent "tool" because because harm to women is considered so heinous, and something that requires alleviation. It has deep roots in gender-roles where females are supposed to passive and males active, possibly even biology.
That sounds quite unreasonable. "You don't deserve to "experience" Windows 11, unless you can afford the newest computers. And if you can't, we won't let you have it. Because maybe it won't work perfectly. Even though you got your computer 4 years ago."
> Can only share full screens and not individual windows

At least on Chrome, the Teams screen sharing option summons the Chrome screen sharing dialog, which allows you to select either the whole desktop, individual windows or specific tabs inside the browser. Maybe the limitation is from the browser you are using? (Although I would be very surprised)
Timber can be many things. I have a hard time seeing a log house being swept away by almost any force of wind.
That's not the point ... it's about messaging and PR. And he's saying that it's not a matter of what works, but rather about "a great experience".
Dynamic dispatch is not terribly overloaded. It's dispatching based on run-time information instead of just compile-time information.

The problem in this discussion is that ukj has come to the belief (but communicated it poorly) that dynamic dispatch is somehow incompatible with static typing. And for some reason this also matters.

Static typing does not preclude dynamic dispatch, and despite being pointed to several mainstream languages that have both features, ukj decided to ignore reality or the common understanding of the phrase "dynamic dispatch" and produced this grotesque example of trying to communicate with an individual who is, apparently, just a troll. Feeding the troll, ukj, is probably the dumbest thing I did today, but I'll blame that on the insomnia reducing my ability to detect trolls.
If you familiarize yourself with the past explanations that I just linked to, you'll see that this is explained in detail. If, after that, you have a question that isn't answered there, I'd be happy to give it a try.
We have found that people are afraid to mess things up, and don’t know what three lines means, so never click them. A lot more than you would think.
Every new communications media has the same lifecycle.

Initial enthusiasm, lots of disruption & creativity, then captured by reactionaries and traditionalists. Spasms of overreach and overcorrection. Cycles of purges and remything.

Obelisks, cuneiform, drums, papyrus, pigeons, pony express, paper, moveable type, radio waves, light beams.

The disruption to society and culture is always the same. The only variable is impact predetermined by production costs.

Lather, rinse, repeat.

The trick for us plebes is finding untapped margins and eddies, do our own thing, maybe find our tribe.
Favelas tin-roof shanties would be cheaper too.

In the US, why not distribute value, transportation, and land sufficiently so people can have a better basic standard of living? Right now, I'm looking at 1000 homeless people and tents huddling under a highway, while my drunken idiot neighbors shout and dance with glee feet from them in a gentrifying, mixed-use development pool. The people who have just enough have no shame or consideration because their motto is "F U, I got mine."
If people are going to downvote the other child comment for either FUD or whatever, could they at least provide reading material/counterpoints as to the benefits for those of us without the MSc in cryptographic systems?
Avoiding pitfalls assessing the Internet's energy and carbon impacts
People have monitored activity from North Korean IP ranges. There's more than you think!

Of course, this sort of unfiltered access is still extremely restricted: these are the children of the elite, the literally hereditary elite caste (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Songbun), who are investments for the state for being sent abroad for the hacking campaigns (https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2018-02-07/inside-ki...) or for the domestic surveillance apparatus. (Someone is developing all of the clever ways they have to restrict and monitor smartphones: https://www.gwern.net/docs/technology/2017-kretchun.pdf And it'll keep going. 'Reducing traffic jams' my arse. But at least we have more 'transparency' now...)

They are granted access for that purpose, and they know their families' welfare and positions are hostage, and are in no hurry to jeopardize their charmed lives in Pyongyang. You don't live in Pyongyang, be taught English, go through university there through to a master's, without absolutely impeccable credentials and a lot to lose. It is unsurprising that they rarely 'abuse' that privilege. (Think of the closed cities in the USSR, or shopping at the foreign-currency stores, or travel abroad.)

Right. Autism is classified a developmental disorder. Mental illness means a psychological disorder usually.
Vote for politicians who will pass laws that dictate how they are to operate. Alternatively, if it is an avenue in your state, start a referendum to pass a state law calling for a Constitutional Convention (requires 34 states) to pass an amendment to deal with it.
Too bad for the millions of people who will die because of the changes during these 50 years...
how would you patch them out?

the disk will be encrypted with a key stored in the TPM that will only be supplied to a signed OS, so you can't alter the contents on disk

if you've booted in secure mode you can't interfere with the boot process and the OS won't let you patch it online

if they pull it off correctly there's not much you can do

they can even detect the effects of exploits using remote attestation

if a machine has had its environment compromised it won't be able to get updates/watch youtube/play games/...

(using old software/firmware with known exploits can be similarly blocked, until you upgrade)

Ok but Bloomberg have.
Or they could do what Lebanon does and have some mandatory representation from all ethnic groups in all important public institutions.
There are definitely ways to make this work, if there is a true willingness to live in peace.
Thanks for taking the feedback into consideration.
More generally: we have stories that say that "things behave as if they are made of ..." but too many people misread or mishear them and think that the form is "things are made of ..."

There are no quantum fields either, just as there are no atoms. Things (of the right size) behave as if there they were composed of quantum fields (or electrons or atoms), and the less we have to say "... except that ...", the more comfortable we are with the story.

The two that people are complaining about most are:

He does not have to care about every injustice every time. But he should not be proud about not caring.
Vote for the party which is most critical on them.

Currently Republicans though it used to be the Democrats.

Embedding undercover agitators in radical groups goes on all the time I'm sure. It's valuable but very easily abused, too.
The Sears Tele-Games Pinball Breakaway
I had not heard of that political party. Those positions seem smart and reasonable for a country drowning in deficit spending.

Withdraw from NATO would be a good start.

The not-to-be-praised former President attempted troop drawdown from Germany, which was quickly reversed earlier this year.
I see no problem with letting idiots say idiotic things. As your quote shows, the world has survived the idiots for a very long time.

The problem with social media is not that there are people saying things that are dumb or wrong.

The problem is that the platforms survive by finding the most virulent idiocy and spreading it as widely as possible.
The speed of those GDDR6 chips probably doesn't matter at all, because in normal Zen 2 parts the fabric only does 32 bytes per cycle at up to ~1.8 GHz, which is just shy of 60 GB/s. The GDDR6 in the Xbox Series X (what a stupid name) does something like 600 GB/s - a 1:10 mismatch.
A TPM holds a secret. It's useful for establishing identity, performing signing, etc. Think about the fact that an attacker on your system can take a session cookie, move to another computer, and connect as you. A TPM can prevent this by establishing a cryptographic, hardware backed identity.

This is a very significant win and critical to 'zero trust', which is now something the government is telling people to embrace.

The whole thing with security is silly. They said it about UEFI - and yet I run Linux on UEFI systems all the time. I also have systems with TPMs that run Linux. Works fine.

edit: People are downvoting you now, though I think your question is very reasonable and worth answering. Such is HN, though.
Something related; I wish "Let's chat, call me when you are available" button for Whatsapp,Telegram etc. Or even better, ability to suggest a few time slots to the callee. That might help with not being able to write "hey my friend, I miss you. Let's chat sometime" messages and unable to decide on that "sometime".

An app with SMS/phone calls wouldn't work well for me as most of my friends are in another country so it needs to be VoIP.
Wood can't continually absorb moisture, at some point it would become saturated.

I always thought that the reason that winter air is dry is because warm air can hold more moisture than cold air, so as you heat it, relative humidity decreases. So, for example, if it's 5C outside with 50% relative humidity, if you heat that air to 22C, then it will have only 17% relative humidity.

But modern houses (even wood ones) are so well sealed that even in winter you could end up with too much humidity inside just from normal activities (cooking, bathing, breathing).
You quote The Guardian, who published the decryption key? That's an interesting choice of source.
You’re not describing a zero-sum game. Someone “holding the bag” means nothing—from your understanding, investing in the $SPY would be a zero-sum game as well.

Well, it’s not. Unless you think the entire value of our entire world economy will become zero. Merely predicting that the value of something will become zero doesn’t automatically make it zero-sum.

In order for a game to be zero-sum, that requirement must be built into the rules of the game. That isn’t true in either of these cases (Bitcoin nor $SPY).

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-sum_game (emphasis added):

> Zero-sum games are a specific example of constant sum games where the sum of each outcome is always zero. Such games are distributive, not integrative; the pie cannot be enlarged by good negotiation.

Well, then why does it require TPM and EFI, and drop support for all CPUs more than ~5 years old?
No, that's because I have a form of cystic fibrosis and I know what I and others like me have been willing to do in the face of that and because I'm aware of real world experiments done on people who were seen as less than human for some reason, such as the Tuskegee syphilis experiments done on Black Americans and horrifying experiments done on people in concentration camps in Nazi Germany.

I don't think that's true. I've used Phoenix with Elixir and it was a joy to use, easy to understand and pretty fast. More verbose and harder to maintain, I don't think it's true for statically typed functional programming language, the compiler does a lot of work that would be tests in other languages, and they're usually quite terse.

For the "slower" part, it depends. Slower compared to what? Most will be faster than Ruby or Python, most will be slower than C++, they're usually in the ballpark of Java (by that I mean with less features but faster than Spring, at least these are the results on TechEmpower).

For the less flexible, I don't know what you mean by that. Harder to extend since you don't have reflection/dynamism? That may be true, but for me these mechanism usually make a codebase harder to maintain.
Who? When? That's a baseless, slanderous attack, usually used to silence Jewish people (and others too, I'm sure) saying unpopular things.
How do we measure this sort of amplification objectively? How do we account for context? I would say that it's exactly the opposite, that through most of the history of the Arab-Israeli conflict (of which the Palestinian issue has been a sub-conflict) the Arab voice has been amplified over the Israeli. Israel has faced many boycotts, many attempts to destroy it, and generally as less than favorable in world public opinion.

It is maybe true that there's been a little shift with the collapse of the soviet union and the split in the Arab world. I would still say that Israel gets more negative coverage in comparison to other world events and even within the specific conflict.

Just a recent example, at some point during the Covid crisis Israel was extensively criticized for not treating Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza equitably with regard to vaccine distribution. Nobody even mentions that Israeli Palestinians are treated equitably in this regard. Nuances are lost. Recently when Israel did agree to provide Palestinians with vaccines the Palestinians rejected them:
https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/israel-says-covid-...
EDIT: And forgot to add my point, that this did not receive as wide of a coverage.

Lack of "censorship" also has a body count. What about all the Covid conspiracy theories? Should we give those guys a free stage on social media? Incitement to commit real violence is also common in social platforms. To give an example from the "other" side some mobs that gathered to attack Israeli Arabs during the last conflicts organized on social media. Would you be critical if those voices were suppressed?

I can be really critical of Israel for many things. But I'm really not buying that the balance is set the wrong way. Keep in mind a lot of us are consuming the kind of news that amplifies our world views anyways. Which brings me back to how do we measure this in a controlled way?
I think it's a bit reductive to say that if you can push a saw and swing a hammer that you can build a house. Sure in theory, but the idea runs into a lot of problems quickly.

1. Navigating the permitting process
2. Finding a lender willing to finance a self-built home.
3. Learning the complicated trades (plumbing/electrical/foundation)
4. Affording to take the time to build a house.

Just #4 alone makes this a non-starter for most people. The average home takes between 6-9 months to build, and that's with an experienced crew. Learning as you go would easily add 6 months to this. Affording to take a year off to build is just not something "most people" can do.

I have a neighbor who is a building contractor. He built his house on his weekends, doing the majority of the work himself. It took him over a year, and he has the skills, tools, and knowledge. Joe Six Pack isn't going to know enough to avoid the pitfalls that can make this a disaster.
