Just a reminder that computers are still bound by the laws of physics. See also, the 500 mile email and the linked video on shouting in a data center [VIDEO 1:49]. I might write more about this at some point.

Slight nitpick—the Tacoma Narrows bridge didn’t collapse due to resonant frequency but rather from torsional forces [VIDEO 8:48].

As for the song, it’s a stereotypical 90s song.
