It’s what I would have done. Insane that this is for free. I feel like we take all this magic for granted.

#172Down in Sydney. Intermittent errors when searching. How am I supposed to work? Also, I don't remember when Google Search was last down. Either google has great uptime, or I have terrible memory.
Bing works pretty well most of the time. I switched my personal primary search engine to bing around the beginning of this year after noticing a marked degradation of Google search quality. In fact, anecdotally, Bing is markedly better at narrow search results (quoted phrases, excluding or including specific words, etc). Google on the other hand is significantly better at what I’d call fuzzy searches, where you don’t…
I've had to search stuff in bing because for some reason google had only the shitty mirror sites for github issues/stackoverflow/whatever indexed. I could literally do a quote search and not get the original source.

#173Really curious to see how a single (albeit large) DC issue caused a global outage.
Further; was the DC not protected by redundant power?
Also even more interested to see how this arc flash even happened. Presumably these were experienced engineers working with obviously dangerous power levels.

I feel like I need to read the manual for specific Google searches. Sometimes, it seems to drop an important search term and not give a suggestion link to include it. +term doesn’t help sometimes. It seems like +”term” usually does.
It seems overfitted to delivering results with mass appeal. Perhaps I’ll try bing the next time I get that tingling feeling google will throw out the search terms intended to narrow down what I want to find.

#176Earlier quoted context omitted.
Sometimes you read something so ridiculous that it feels true.
But i have to say: Personally, i don't run k8s and it's ecosystem and am just entering the whole "declarative world" with NixOS.. but nonetheless, these occasions are very rare, Google/YT Operations is just so impressive and has to be up there, if not a the very top.
He's probably more referring to the amazon prime thing.
