Sure, but the only way to be sure that a non-atomic store works as intended is to read the assembly output from the compiler.

It's also not very easy to predict the relative difference because it depends on which core(s) the threads get scheduled on. If both threads happen to get on the same core and the data stays in caches, we're talking about 1ns (L1) to 5ns (L2). An atomic load/store would be about 20ns (4..20x slower).

If they happen to get scheduled on different cores, the CPU interconnect will have to deal with its cache coherency protocol (similar to atomic load/store) and the result will be around the same.

We're talking about pretty miniscule amount of time here. It's a choice between fast if you're lucky but possibly incorrect anyway or marginally slower but guaranteed correctness.
I also look for older people who are more likely to spend a few minutes filling out a cheque. I also notice how slowly most people interact with CC terminals, as if they've never used one before and have to figure out every single interaction.
Strangely, none of the pictures gives you a point of reference to it's actual size (which is 8.3" x 4.5" x 1.1").

Usually they show it being held up or next to a common reference, like a quarter, or coffee cup, or the front page of today's newspaper.
Be wary of terms such as “sponsorship” and “in association with”

The ASA is generally likely to consider terms such as “sponsored content” as referring to a traditional sponsorship relationship, where material has been financially sponsored but over which the creator retains editorial control. Sponsorship of this kind is not covered by the CAP Code.

Using such terms to describe an ad feature is unlikely to be acceptable. Following an ASA challenge, the ASA ruled against an ad that was included in a “sponsored section” of a website and labelled as “in association with”, considering that the labels in themselves did not make clear the commercial nature of the content

We are automating quite a lot of it away (eg think compilers), but yes, there's probably lots of stuff left for humans to do until very late.
Someone had perhaps set up a place for reminiscences and descriptions of ur-systems such as this as Wikipedia seem to want to have pages with independent verification. We don't want ephemera lost as people retire/die and Web sites suffer bitrot.

It did strike me that the author (one of the developers of the system) was - perhaps implicitly - claiming quite a lot of influence for his work.

PS: We had a school trip to ICI Runcorn in around 1975 or so. Alas, I don't remember any dumb terminals (we were in labs and a hall that could cope with 20 schoolboys). We were there to see a demonstration of fluorine chemistry - which definitely made an impression, as did the practical session on fitting and testing gas cylinders (we had nitrogen ones to fit, they weren't daft).
I bet airport security is pleasant there.
Walmart had baggers for the short time they were operating here.
Yeah, that was a no-go for me (might reconsider since you posted the prices here). It really sucks that many shops still do this. It makes sense sometimes (when you have large inventory with different sizes and thus shipping costs) to not have a shipping section, but not this time. And you can still at least show the shipping right there where I fill out my address.

So you want to know something more than a country (perhaps postal/zip code) before showing me the shipping price? I simply don't bother going further and look for another vendor (would not work here, I know).
A senior developer varies between different companies. In some companies, if you are a senior developer, you start getting more client facing roles. So your communication skills becomes more crucial. In other companies, you gain a mentor kind of role where you assist your team in designing and developing projects accordingly.
£50k is a pretty awkward salary to live on in London.

It's enough to live quite comfortably in a house/flat share, or if you share a single bed apartment with a partner, but if you live independently (in a studio or single bed) you're still firmly in "mere existence" territory, unlikely to be able to add much to savings each month.
The black moths could still mate with the peppered variety so they're still the same species just different 'breeds', perhaps, so is this really evolution?

I am a layman but one criticism of the theory of evolution that seems sensible to me is the absence of intermediate forms.

For example types of ape that could mate with say gorillas and chimpanzees.

All the species seem very well defined when you'd expect a continuum.
Hi! (Another IPFS dev here :))

IPFS supports today WebRTC, TCP, uTP and WebSockets, thanks to the multi transport approach libp2p[0] offers. In fact, that is how Orbit works, a chat app build completely in JS, using IPFS, on the browser without any plugins. Check:

- http://orbit.libp2p.io/
- https://github.com/haadcode/orbit

The js-ipfs DHT is underdevelopment, in fact, we have an implementation, but it is not compatible with go-ipfs so we are not rolling it out, yet.

To check the latest updates on the project and learn whats next, check our log https://github.com/ipfs/js-ipfs/issues/30#issuecomment-22604...

Seems to be a huge amount of speculative commentary, which is acknowledged, but to me, not a way that shows the potential variation in implementing DP.

For example, Apple could easily download all the data, do a DP on the impact of adding the data to the existing aggregate data, clean out indentiers, and add it to the database.

Key here is that Apple has all the data, then purges the indentiers from it, which is completely different than removing the indentifiers before sending to Apple.

(Apple:) "Hi, I'm Apple, Trust Me! Don't mind the black bag, I just likely being mysterious, it's cool, right?"

(Me:) "Umm, no, no thanks!"

Apple needs to let go of the whole security through secrecy ploy, since it looks more and more shady.

Imagine if security modules for devices where public and non-secure section of the devices had to be encapsulated for EmSec and tamper proof. If this was the case, security literally wouldn't be an issue; either everyone is impacted, or no is impacted.
There are empty parts of Italy too - it's not like the whole country's the same density as Florence. The point (and it's an inherently subjective one) is how much nicer it is to live in Florence than in Atlanta.
Pretty decent GPU performance, 80% performance of the non-overclocked 4790K, which is my go to desktop processor these days

Why would we need special roads when we could have truck drones fly over traffic to their destinations?
It could also fit inside a decent-sized airport. Several large factories are bigger than this. Heck, so are single farms.

The idea that there's a trade-off between centres of high culture and highway interchanges is entirely absurd.
> Why don't we have have sandbox execution environments in the OS itself?

Well, if you try, you wind up with something that looks an awful lot like a web browser - especially once WebAssembly is a thing. The API that many desktop operating systems provide is not designed for the security model that you're looking for, so you wind up building a new one on top of it - see WinRT when Microsoft needed a sandbox.

We used to have things like Java Web Start (still do in some enterprise systems), and, well, it's not exactly any better than a web browser except that it has a better view layer for applications than HTML/CSS. It's also not supported on mobile platforms.
Incidentally up until recently their only advertisement was a full page in Bild.

My ex works in HR in a major bank. You'll be surrounded by people earning >1.5m, who complain about how they're going to make their ends meet because their bonus this year was only 150k (my ex has had to deal with that exact complaint; said person was worried how he was going to afford the second nanny).

I absolutely agree with you, but I also regularly get to hear about the pressure people are under to keep up appearances, and I'm not surprised a lot of younger people feel they can't resist it.

It's made worse by the toothless UK working time restrictions (look forward to those being gutted even more with an EU exit) that are abuse relentlessly in law and finance and result in staff that basically don't have time to recognise how messed up their lives are and/or time to find a way out. The amount of misery my ex has dealt with both personally (she is now in HR because while it's still tough, it's a walk in the park compared to her previous job as finance lawyer at one of the magic circle firms), and in her current job (including people regularly having breakdowns in the office at rates I've personally never seen anywhere I've worked) makes me totally unsurprised at younger employees at these places having problems finding ways to cope.
Well my OnePlus One's USB port stopped functioning back in February and it took two and half months of back and forth for them to send me a working phone.

Multiple customer agents pasting the same message back to me and ignoring what I'd written, sending me a "repaired" phone that had non-functional front and rear speakers, and also initially trying to invoice me £200 for what was an in warranty repair.

When I got that invoice and complained that I was in warranty, they sent me a link to their policy with no other comment.

Phone was good other than this. But I'm not going to buy another phone from them after all that hassle.
I should think the vast majority of twenty-somethings in London on £30k+ salaries are repaying student loans, so you'll be taking the 54% figure.
Agreed, I just recently took some recursive F# code from a photobooth (display countdown, async sleep, take photo, download from camera, recur with new byte[] list)->reverse list, and rewrote it it an imperative loop appending to a normal List<byte[]> and the code is much more intuitive.

Some things are more intuitive as a list of things to do and changes to make.

Are you sure that? My memory is hazy but I think you parked the shopping cart at the register instead of behind it and just moved your items from the end of the belt back into your shopping cart while they typed in the codes without picking up anything. I think I even remember that customers were a bit confused that they needed to move their carts behind the register which was solved by signs and floor markings.
Oh, nice, thanks for that link and info! As you mentioned, the page even lists the output plug polarity¹ it requires (centre positive)!

EDIT: Just realized that’s the same size barrel connector used for Sony’s PlayStation Portable², PlayStation TV³, etc., and the power supply⁴ those devices come with is 5V ⎓ 2A and have a centre positive polarity, so it seems like they’ll be perfect for use on the Orange Pi One.

£50k after taxes (and student loan) is ~£2750/month.

If you're prepared to live South of the river (which contrary to popular belief isn't the end of the world) flat prices are in my area (SE4) around £800-1200/month which if you're sharing can still leave you over £1500/month disposable cash.
I switched to Google Drive a while ago; if you use it in multiple contexts (professional and personal), it's a much saner setup. And if you use Google Docs and Gmail, the integrations make it worth it.

I'm curious: what did you think of Google Drive vs. Dropbox? I precisely felt that Dropbox was doomed when I switched to Google Drive last year because I couldn't see any competitive advantage to it anymore.
Seems pretty dubious:

You'd be surprised how tenuous backup situations are at most companies and organizations. Even if your company is doing full disaster recovery checks 24/7, one after the other, a "well-placed" failure/mistakes or small series of failures/mistakes can lead to data loss.

Many of the things that cause data loss are just simple mistakes caused by a failure to review changes carefully, even when you have multiple levels of review- I would dare to say especially when you have high confidence that someone else is reviewing your changes.

"Manual" data changes, e.g. executing SQL statements or scripts that execute SQL that aren't a part of your application, in my experience are the most common cause of data loss.

After manual data changes the second most common in my experience is not understanding what you are doing. For example, you might take a chance on an upgrade that fails because you have to meet a deadline.

Changes to application code are next. Typically when making changes to an application, a little more thought may be put into it than a one-off data migration or change, but if you are under time pressure, don't know what you are doing, or are assuming someone else will catch your mistakes, you could easily screw everything.

Following this- mistakes that cause hardware or software failure. I worked at one large organization where storage arrays with various power backups were just "turned off" by a contractor that didn't understand the impact of what he or she was doing.

Finally, you might have configuration issues or the hardware might just fail.

Really, there is no substitute for having your data backed up frequently, and in a way you know how to easily restore and have tested, by building another machine from the ground up to replace it and documenting and practicing that well. Very few do this frequently. And even if you do- what if all of your hardware were destroyed? Can you easily go out and buy something off the shelf with instructions you have in your head or stored safely around the world and rebuild everything?
The most charitable thing I can think to say is you would find studying evolutionary biology very enlighting.
I've got an Atari Lynx somewhere from about 19 years ago. It was a current(ish) console then. I imagine that this game is more the result of a 19-year journey in procedural space games than a game 19 years in development.
Impressive hardware, but UGH!, not yet-another-Linux powered computer! If I had the time, I'd port illumos to it myself, but since I don't, Linux on this thing makes it a non-starter for me.

Before we had water and electricity in our infrastructure, those weren't utilities either.

And on point: here in Sweden we have both privately owned and state owned broadband infrastructure, and while it's hard to prove, i'm convinced that this came out of the university networks (SUNET) building out the framework for this in university cities in the 90s and back.

As a result of this we had good grounds for competing ISPs which today is about 12 nation wide (for 10M people), on top of which there are usually a few per city also competing for customers.

This leads to me being able to choose between 16 (!) different ISP:s on my fiber I installed last month, which will cost me $38 USD/mo for uncapped 100/100 Mbps or $89 USD/mo for uncapped 1000/100 Mbps.

It has also been shown that cities with a state owned network infrastructure leads to 20-30% cheaper broadband. I can't find the specific study, but it's referenced here: http://skl.se/tjanster/press/nyheter/nyhetsarkiv2016/overens...

Nothing is a utility until it's made one.
> Well, that's exactly what immigrants do in the UK (contribute more than they take by certain metrics [0]), ... but it doesn't stop the hostility in the media.

Counter-argument to that is that immigrants are simply crowding out British citizens (particularly young people, huge numbers of which are unemployed, or significantly underemployed) in the jobs market.

It is effectively jobs that make the contribution, whether they are filled by British citizens or EU nationals.

Facebook recently recommended to me a "friend" who was a person that worked at another company which was a client for my previous employer. The only means of online communication I've had with this person was through my old work email. My Facebook account uses a unique email address used only for Facebooking, I've never friended anyone from my previous employer, my demographic information is all made up (except for my name), I've set privacy controls in Facebook to be as strict as possible, I run uBlock Origin/NoScript on all browsers, I clear browser history/cookies/etc on exit...yet, here is this person being recommended to me. The lengths that these companies go to fingerprint you online is incredibly scary and creepy.
> The black moths could still mate with the peppered variety so they're still the same species just different 'breeds', perhaps, so is this really evolution?

It absolutely is evolution, what it isn't is 'speciation'. For speciation to occur you would have to have enough reproductive isolation and enough time to allow for sufficient change - let's say in the range of thousands/millions of years, rather than a decade or two. Biologists will tell you anyway that the concept of a biological species is a bit hard to pin down anyway.

I don't quite understand your criticism regarding intermediate forms. There are many clusters of species where interbreeding is possible to some extent - Zeedonks, Ligers et all, not mention types of bluebell, dandelions etc. Moreover there are many many species where there are distinct varieties which are still similar enough to interbreed, but may be on their way to separating if given enough time and isolation.
Also separating documents about unix text processing tools from those about cats, or those about breeds of cats from those about the middle east. Word sense disambiguation.
> Just because you can ask for changes, doesn't mean the EC has to listen to you. As I've said in a different comment, the main priority of the EC is to work in the best interests of the EU, not the individual member countries.

The parliament has power of censure over the EC so in theory the EC could be made to listen.

I do agree with you that the EU is a democratic mess and share your concern about lobbyists.

I do however struggle to swallow Democracy as the main argument for Brexit when we have:

* a government in the UK elected by 25% of the possible electorate.

* parties gaining > 10% of the national vote having no representation in UK parliament

* an un-elected house of Lords

* a prime minister (who we technically don't elect and who can change at any time) who magically inherits powers from the queen to sign treaties and go to war

I look forward to the shining lights of the Brexit camp taking on these democratic deficits with the same enthusiasm in the future.

Great to hear. I'm on 32bit Ubuntu where Chrome isn't updated anymore, so I am eagerly waiting for this ;) Do you have a bugzilla URL so I can follow progress?
Sure, and since that code runs inside the frame because you're not crazy enough to let it out of its box, the new nested frame shares the same budget. No problem.
It's definitely an upgrade compared to the old version, but the fact that it needs a "Try typing directly into the... " hint shows the shortcoming of their UX.
