Fun fact: the math “sub-stackoverflow” is owned by the American mathematical society iirc (do correct if wrong) and they reserve the right to up and leave and set root elsewhere outside the network.

Hello, Tom Scott…?

Actually overenginnering is the thing with pre-modern structures, like the bottom bridge here. Survivorship bias played a role, where things they don’t build to last, evidently don’t last to this day, but mostly it’s because they don’t really understand the math behind all of it so they take the most conservative and the tried and tested rules of thumb when doing big structures. This is why big projects back then can take decades to complete.

In the modern day, we design specifically to balance durability and cost, and we are confident of our maths and understanding of material science to use the least amount that does the work for the design life that we choose.

They really should continue the tradition by building a fourth bridge over the current one when the time comes.

We should bring back scalping in its original sense, and subject it to modern day scalpers.

Time to go back to camping on the rooftops I guess.

Not to be confused with !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com :v

If you write your own tooling then it’s great. The vast majority of us are using other people’s tooling and have to deal with their imposed complexity. I for one hate GitHub actions with a passion.

And yet some subset of devs are still clinging to w3c’s shields which is misleading since w3c has no jurisdiction over html (by whatwg) and js (ecma).
