I think this is valid -- I'm not a structural engineer so I can't speak to how an earthquake might behave differently than the tests in the Project Farm video, but I can imagine a scenario where a screw becoming a bit loose would create a situation that more closely resembles the repeated bend test.

The IBC still outlines nails as appropriate light frame fasteners [0], and where I am (on Maui) there's no local provision in the code to allow swapping in screws. The GRKs [1, 2] and Simpson [3] screws others have mentioned are seemingly valid alternatives to 16d nails, but ultimately it's going to come down to what you're comfortable with, the local code, the inspector, etc.

Google partners with at least one major credit card company[1] so their ad network should be aware of purchases if a particular payment system were used. I expect this is far more widespread than we realise (unfortunately) but using that data to not show ads to recent purchasers would harm revenue, so they remain visible.

In addition to the site:reddit.com trick, I find prefacing every keyword in intext:keyword prevents most forms of substitution (but disappointingly not stemming) and ensures what you search for is actually on the page.

Any other way of using google lets rankbrain swap your specific engineering jargon for high click-through kardashian news and rap lyrics.
You could cool it really nicely with a small mini split system.

You don't need to take power underground. Most midwestern construction doesn't and I usually see PVC conduit. There are hazards from breakage, but putting it in PVC conduit tends to exceed code.
I genuinely agree with you. People need to eat, and live comfortably and be able to afford things like medical care, a place to live safely etc.

I also think the blanket of “all affiliates are bad” is a bit much. I love supporting people who just do a good job. SEO spam is not what I call a good job, it’s a sleazy exploitation of the average consumer.

With that said, I have purchased many things based on what I consider honest good reviews who linked to affiliate programs and I do not regret this. I wish companies (Amazon for instance, as they’re rent biggest right now) simply policed their affiliate programs better to incentive good unbiased reviews sites that Specialize in high quality, and dropped the SEO spammers
Well who knows, maybe, but some of these (prefers C++, uses British English spellings sometimes, prefers Windows) are, uh, let's just say not too rare.

More likely, Satoshi is someone we've never heard of who coded up Bitcoin and then passed away, which is why he hasn't been heard from since. Saying that he's actually a really famous guy, reminds one of the drunk looking under the streetlight for his keys because he can see better there. We've heard of Elon Musk. What % of programmers, even programmers who worked at PayPal back in the day and so thought about e-money a lot, have we heard of?
Yeah, but their metrics probably suck.

So do mine of course, and so do yours. Metric design is a hard, hard problem.

I've come to the conclusion that I should keep secret metrics from people so that they aren't captured by Goodhardt's law, but apart from the ethical implications, I haven't managed to implement this anywhere yet.
The one thing Google is good at is finding a specific named thing:

- google a company name, it will find the company's website.

- google a historical figure or event, it will bring you to the appropriate wikipedia page.

- google a product, it will show you the amazon link.

Google anything less specific, anything that requires some judgment to discern, and you are dropped you into the SEO bramble of bad information and hostile web design. That Google itself has created.

What a failure for a company with infinite resources, and which has recruited the best minds in computer science.

Zawinski's Law of Software Envelopment, also known as Zawinski's Law:

"Every program attempts to expand until it can read mail. Those programs which cannot so expand are replaced by ones which can."

Some have interpreted this as commenting on the phenomenon of software bloating with popular features:

Zawinski himself has stated:

"My point was not about copycats, it was about platformization. Apps that you "live in" all day have pressure to become everything and do everything. An app for editing text becomes an IDE, then an OS. An app for displaying hypertext documents becomes a mail reader, then an OS."
I don't believe 100% of the blame lies with Google. It could partly be that there is just a lack of good content on the internet nowadays. Take product reviews for example. You'd have to pay for a web developer, designer, buy a lot of products, hire journalists to test the them and produce content, that all costs a lot. Is it feasible to do this based of a few ads and affiliate links a lot of which will be blocked anyway?

I think what we need is a global micro payment system which enables good content creators to be funded for their work directly.
The modern trend is autoclosing PR's after they haven't had any activity in X months, so there's not much difference with mailing lists anymore...

Anytime there’s a significant refresh of the model (when the Mustang got the Coyote motor, Corolla switched from rear to front drive, etc), I’d avoid the first year of that generation as well, but I’d particularly avoid the first year of a first-gen car.

My post above could have been much more clear. For a body refresh with an already proven engine/trans combination, I wouldn’t be as concerned (which is what I was trying to get at, albeit clumsily).
And then the partner manager raises hell about how you downranked their client, and it gets escalated, two VP's enter a room, one VP leaves and the penalty is quietly removed.
These dealer markups in the chip shortage are insane. Went into a Kia dealership that had two Seltos on the lot. Prepared to pay sticker price of 24k even with bullshit delivery mark-up.

The U.S. is a nation built on a foundational idea directly opposed to your point of view: that freedom is the highest ideal, and it is justifiable to seek it even at the expense of blood.

For that reason, it's my opinion that the rage experienced on the American political stage is not due primarily to the news media, but due to authoritarian political strains on both the left and the right. Everyone feels attacked from all angles because we have politicians trying to spy on your phone calls and internet activity, make the encryption that keeps you safe and free online less secure, ban you from getting married via constitutional amendment, force you to say or not say certain words, force you to get vaccinated, force you to accept political messaging from the leadership without being allowed to respond in kind, force you to serve in the military longer than you agreed (stoploss), force you to carry a pregnancy to term, force you force you FORCE YOU! to comply with the ruling orthodoxy of the day.

The root problem isn't that people want to respond to this with violence. The root problem is that people don't recognize the violence being perpetrated by the state. The Louisville chief of police directs a no-knock warrant, Breonna Taylor ends up dead in the inevitable clash, and the low level officers executing the warrant are made scapegoats instead of putting the politicians who made this happen into the electric chair.

I pray every day for this country not to erupt in further violence. But I fear with every fiber of my being that it will be inevitable unless the political leadership takes stock of what they are doing to the people.
I find Wirecutter and Consumer Reports are pretty reasonable for product categories where I just want a reasonable choice and don't necessarily have deep knowledge and preferences myself. And, yes, it's worth reading why they picked something. But if I were buying an interchangeable lens camera or a computer I might read their recommendation but I'd look elsewhere also. For a sprayer for a hose? I'm sure their recommendation is fine.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenspun%27s_tenth_rule

Greenspun's tenth rule of programming is an aphorism in computer programming and especially programming language circles that states:

"Any sufficiently complicated C or Fortran program contains an ad hoc, informally-specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of half of Common Lisp."

I would love to be able to do more formal proving of programs in practice, but I 100% agree with you. A lot of what the advanced typing crowd seem to be doing is to re-invent programming but at the type level, and it's unclear to me why that should count as progress. It reminds me uncomfortably of C++ template metaprogramming -- and for good reasons, C++ has made steps towards replacing that with statically evaluated expressions written in regular syntax.

My gut feeling is that the right way forward is to have a fairly standard type system visible in the source language augmented by contracts written in regular code. Basically a slight augmentation of assert(). A formal prover could internally reason about an extended type system where those contracts are automatically lifted to the type level if that helps for some reason, but programmers wouldn't be bothered with it.

This seems unlikely to be a genuinely novel idea, so I'd be curious to hear whether systems like that already exist.

I can only invite you to flip through current technical texts in signal processing and go through the thought exercise of defining the envelope of prior knowledge required.

I recommend the IEEE Signal Processing Magazine as it is the flagship magazine from the IEEE Signal Processing Society. IEEE magazine articles are written “to appeal to non-experts as well as experts in the field” [1] and therefore target a broad engineering audience while remaining current and being peer-reviewed.

The United States of America, like many nation states, was founded on political violence.

Here’s Thomas Jefferson on the subject:

> And what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is it’s natural manure.
I’ve seen projects that use a mix of unsigned int, size_t, and off_t variable declarations with implicit conversions between them. This seems like a security hazard if you are handling user input because just checking the original input may be insufficient. size_t in general seems extra ridiculous because max(size_t) is a common sentinel value returned by methods and if you aren’t careful and add to max(size_t) it wraps around to -1.
The point is that when the government infrastructure refused to censor the "wrongthink" opinions, Apple and Google would ban any clients for those open protocols that don't hardcode a check to refuse to connect to those servers. And don't Google's Terms of Service apply even to Google's white-label services?
>I’m pretty sure the engineers responsible for Google Search aren’t happy about the quality of results either. I’m wondering if this isn’t really a tech problem but the influence of some suit responsible for quarterly ad revenue increases.

This seems like a pretty irresponsible and ridiculous thing to say. "I think X product is shit, and I'm fairly sure that the engineers working on X would agree and blame product managers" sounds like a valid thing to say if you were at reddit, or dropbox - where it's both true and Seibel should know about it (since he's in a position to know how rubbish they are), but to speculate about one of your competitors in this way is a little... self serving.

Google search actually really reassures me, because Seibel is right, there aren't really any direct network effects, if it got bad I'd move. In fact I did move. I started using duckduckgo when I could, but any time I search for technical issues (something that's likely to result in stackoverflow results or similar) I go back to google. Why? It works.
I’m telling you my experience not their goals. The searches seemed nearly exactly the same. I didn’t see any sites that didn’t appear on the other in first glance.
Yup. There are a *lot* of events to have a 1 in 200 chance of. Each is a separate chance, the odds add up.

Of course, for such a search engine to be viable the only "partners" need to be the paying users.
>And as long as Google is in the business of both search and advertising, that will not change.

This has always been the case and general sentiment hasn't always been that search was bad. The only way they wouldn't be in search and advertising is if they charged for search, because ads pay for it. They know it is in their best interest to keep search results good so that people will keep using them and see ads. They seem to be losing the battle right now against SEO and marketing firms.

"Isn't supposed to be able to" is a lot longer and distracting vs the oversimplification-for-sake-of-understanding of "can't". As far as it being proven wrong though - that's already happened, eg CVE-2021-29154

why would it ? if you set things such that expected ranges are set where they matter (e.g. where you do arithmetic) you should only have to change the types for which range issues occur, like this (very quick and dirty, likely wrong, but you get the idea): https://gcc.godbolt.org/z/4v6dW9czP
I ran into the same problem when building finclout's feedback loop. In my opinion, there is no way around keyword matching for search. As a result SEO is unlikely to be preventable. However, if the feedback can be collected at scale and is actually incentivised (i.e., did this link solve your problem ? ) this might actually work.
Most building codes are not a life or death matter. Most of them are windowsill clearance, door clearance, minutia about the spacing of steps. In some locations you have really stupid proscriptions about load bearing structure types (so e.g. you can't use a metal frame for your house simply because they specify you must use wood).
you think the app stores are going to ban clients that don't hard-code communication blocks for "house.gov"?
> Today the issue was close() just happened to be too “slow.” If the amount of input devices were higher, let’s say 2x more, then the same issue would have manifested even if close() were 2x “faster.” No matter how fast you make close() there is a situation in which this issue would manifest itself.

Close, on an fd for which no asynchronous IO has occurred, should be 10000x faster, or more. It’s unlikely a user will have even 100 real input devices. I agree the algorithm leaves something to be desired, but the only reason it is user-visible is the performance bug in Linux.

I’ve worked on performance in both userspace and the kernel and I think you’re fundamentally way off-base in a way we’ll never reconcile.
Indeed but as to the linked thread's point, it's an opportunity for a startup to come in. A startup which could tackle the quality problem not just relevancy.

I haven't seen it mentioned here yet, but I'm a big fan of rowing (Concept 2). I had a rower about 15 years ago, then sold it when I deployed to Iraq for a year. After that, I spent another year in Afghanistan. Then I started my career in tech after I was injured on deployment and left the Marine Corps. Then we had kids—all excuses for not exercising consistently.

I needed something convenient to squeeze in a 15-30 minute workout I'd enjoy once the kids go down, so I got another rower and started rowing again a couple of months ago. I've been pretty consistent (I've worked out 52 days in a row now, with exceptions for special circumstances like deaths in the family). It's a great full-body workout, and I listen to podcasts/audiobooks or watch football if there's a game on. I can't recommend it enough.

Some people have recommended BJJ, which I've enjoyed in the past, but with kids and my wife and I working 60+ hours a week (she owns a business), convenience + enjoyment are the only way to make it something I'll stick to.
