Texas has no building code of their own, but 70.100 adopts International Building Code 2015, International Residential Code 2015, and NFPA as the standards by which all things must be built. Most other states do the same.

Things like ADA and OSHA are federal laws that Texas builders can't just ignore.

You can probably avoid building permits if you own enough property to be your own county government, but good luck getting a construction loan.

> I'll also note that using AcqRel semantics is not provided by the Rust version of compare_exchange_weak (perhaps a nit on TFA's assertion that Rust adopts the C++ memory model wholesale), so if acquire to lock the spinlock is not adequate, it's likely it would need to go to SeqCst.

Is this true? AcqRel seems to be accepted by the compiler for the success ordering of compare_exchange_weak.

While agree with your general point, there were multiprocessor x86 systems well before 2002. Dual and four socket systems were relatively common and the like of SGI and HP would have been happy to sell you x86 systems with even higher socket counts.
> Nevertheless, it still seems quite remarkable that such a molecule could coincidentally send a big mammal on a trip through the doors of perception.

Perhaps at first thought, yes, because mammals, insects and mushrooms are such different things.

To put it in perspective though, they share more than 2 billion years of evolutionary history when you look past their last common ancestor.

That M1 CPU in your new MacBook is a much mightier beast than the little black ICs in your grandfathers transistor radio, but they both rely on the same fundamental NPN silicone junction property. And that’s only 60 years of evolution.

Something similar happened to an old friend of mine - he didn't know he had diabetes, and due to the resulting nerve damage in his feet had no idea anything was wrong until after gangrene had set in. I haven't seen him in a while but I understand he came out of it pretty well, in that he "only" lost a few toes and managed to keep most of his foot.

Unfortunately, that site does scrolljacking, and takes over all scroll actions rather than just vertical ones, completely ruining scrolling on what I think will be basically all laptop touchpads these days (ancient laptops with coarse touchpad scrolling might be less badly affected).

Precise symptoms vary by browser; in Firefox you’re likely to just get jumped from one end to the other very quickly (because it lets the JavaScript take over, and the JavaScript ignores the scrolling delta and jumps by a fixed amount on each event), while in Chromium horizontal scrolling doesn’t get destroyed quite so much, it just becomes flickery, because Chromium lets the JavaScript change the scroll position (turning your 1px scroll into a big jump) and then changes it back, apparently. I haven’t investigated why.

I consistently say that scrolljacking is always bad, because it’s simply not possible to get it right (the web doesn’t expose the right primitives to make it work). This is one of the exceptionally few cases where carefully limited scrolljacking of vertical scrolling to horizontal might be warranted (though it’d still be severely imperfect because the web doesn’t have the right primitives to make it work properly), because of comparatively poor support for this text direction on some devices, but the implementation employed is awful, making it work tolerably for old coarse-scrolling mice while ruining it for newer hardware.

At least in C++, atomicity is part of the type system, and you would have to explicitly reinterpret cast it away.
Also a good way to induce paying to win more, because you don't have as much time to grind.
Ah, thanks for the details, I wasn't referring to NUMA-induced lock contention, but rather lock contention in general. I've seen a workload hit 64 CPUs with 80% of CPU time in lock contention (and others in the 10-30%). Now, while that means the developer has a big problem to fix, it also has me wondering about single sockets getting big enough -- 128 CPUs is already hard to use well. Back when I first saw multi-socket systems with 2-4 total CPUs, getting the extra CPUs online was all goodness. But adding another 128 CPUs to my already 128-CPU system, well...is there a point where we can say, in general, that we already have enough cores? In the talk I referred to the 850,000-core GPU, and how I couldn't see that ever working as general purpose CPUs in the software of today. With 3D stacking, I think we'll reach a practical core limit on a single socket, and just won't need the complexity (including NUMA) of multi socket anymore.
I have no rights unless others recognize and at least tacitly agree that they have obligations with respect to those rights.

As the only person left in the universe (after some cataclysm), you'd be left with obligations but no rights. The obligations would include those that arise from within yourself to prevail and try to survive as best you can. Rights? Well, who would be granting those? The innate bit refers to obligations but not rights.
What Netflix wants to be popular also tramples over what I am already watching. I find that the UI gets in the way of enjoying several programs that I am part way through by pushing something new. If they want to continue to make series and only get me to watch half of the episodes then the algorithm is spot on.

That said, Amazon Prime video is so much worse. It suggests that I would like to watch series 1 of a show when I have watched it and am part way through season 2.

>Obviously, it's disgusting for the gov't to do anything along these lines with facial recognition of minors who should be even more protected from surveillance than the adult public.

System is linked and processed by data from public security, i.e. government which has more right to bio data than aggressive harvesting by public companies, which PRC is actively cracking down on. In terms of data policies, that's about as reasonable as can be expected and more protection most in the west is expected to receive.

This isn't even a blanket game ban, no different than gov setting up ratings board in response to public opinion (Chinese parents) to block kids from watching certain movies. There's a decades worth of non-always online, DRM free games, emulators etc for kids to waste time and develop skills on. No different than growing up 10 years ago before always-online games became the norm, maybe even preferrable since it cuts down on exposure now endemically popular gambling gaming mechanics and micro transactions (which the legislation also limits).
Funny, there was a report on Swiss TV[1] just yesterday where they were talking about how concentrating water cleaning systems is more effective. The went from 11 to 2 large water cleaning facilities in the Kanton of Uri as it is a lot easier to keep those using the latest standard than to maintain 11 separate facilities. They now pump the dirty water at hight pressure to the 2 facilities because of the large altitude drop the the pressure needs to be reduced so electricity is also generated from the waste water. The pipeline last around 70 years while a cleaning facility needs an overhaul every 25 years.

I completely get where you're coming from. I'd personally never consent to tracking either without adequate incentives.

This new consent manager makes it easier for site owners to offer incentives to consent (e.g. share your user journey for 5% off at checkout).

Note: 'Selling your privacy' (and likely incentivizing consent) may not be legal under some regimes, so nuance should be applied to any novel implementations using our consent manager. We have a privacy legal regime detection API which helps enable varying UI & behavior based on user-applicable legal regimes.

At the end of this piece you say we are much more like Elves than we used to be, but that's not really true. Elvish magic works the way it does because in classical/Tolkien-esque fantasy, the natural world is friendly to elves: they live forever, they're immune to disease, they heal quickly from injuries, they bound effortlessly across treetops or walk over snow banks, etc. They develop a symbiotic relationship with nature because it's kind to them.

Nature isn't kind to humans. Sure, we've acquired many of these elvish capabilities: we can live longer if we use fire to scare away hungry bears, we can heal faster if we have some bandages or build a hospital, we can travel fast if we sit in a vehicle. But our relationship is fundamentally with our technology, not with nature. We've developed a symbiotic relationship with technology. Nature is still a deadly Other.

So unless we someday genetically engineer ourselves to be more elf-like and resilient out in the forest, I don't think we'll ever adopt an Elvish outlook. We fundamentally improve ourselves via that which we create, and defend ourselves from the hostile environment which existed before us. In fantasy everyone's made by a benevolent creator, in reality we've evolved under the rule of survival of the fittest. The elves didn't dominate their environment because they didn't need to.

(PS: In Tolkien, there actually is someone who's out of harmony with the natural order from day one, and has to go engineer his own world as a response. Complete with orcs and trolls and enormous fortresses that keep nature out. He's known as Morgoth and when they finally catch up with him they throw him in eternal jail!)
Yes, he should be safe from that sort of thing at his house, they can protest outside his government office or something.
All expert developers were dilettante at some point. The only way to become an expert in some specific area is to study and practice it. It might make you a better developer even if you don't end up using it in anger often (or at all).
> The age requirement is the government not trusting their citizens not to damage themselves.

The incoherence is still there.

Not trusted not to damage themselves with alcool, but trusted to be given weapons and sent to the far side of the world where quite a few people would love to get their heads or, barring that, at least kill them?

From the little research I’ve done, soldiers have greater chances of dying violently, being maimed, of remaining traumatised years after their service, and of killing themselves once back home (apparently more kill themselves after than are killed in action by enemy bullets [1]).

How is letting them enlist not letting them damage themselves?

It isn’t, because the average age of the enlisted soldier is less than 21. So if they actually went all the way and bothered being aligned with themselves and their supposed values, they’d bar anyone less than 21 from joining the army and lose many, many, of what are probably the most easy to recruit recruits.

It’s just hypocrisy dressed up in fine rags.

I don't get it. Why is the punctuation right to left, but the text itself is left to right?
The example function in the article `fetchAndSaveMovie` is (deliberately, I know) not well-written. If it were composed of 2 functions `fetchMovie` and `saveMovie`, each of which does one thing, then each could be tested separately. If the composed function then needed to be tested, it would only need to test that each function were called in succession, but personally I wouldn't think it necessary.

With that small change, I'm not sure how essential is the rest of the approach. I'm definitely not saying that the approach isn't possibly valuable, more that I don't think the article argues for it very well. It introduces complexity to cover for poorly-written code. I think if it were to start out with excellent code and demonstrate an unambiguous improvement, it would be a better argument. My 2c
I have this same exact fan! And the remote recently stopped working so I was thinking of doing something really similar to this. Glad to see it worked out.
Can you expand on what you mean by "everyone is an internet addict"? I mean in the examples you gave, you mention the children skipped school - which is a problem. The article and some other commenters mention a nighttime gaming ban - which is a reaction to kids staying up at night to play video games. Clearly there IS a problem, and the Chinese government has this way of solving it.

In the west there's similar solutions. For game time, parents can use parental controls, time limits and bedtimes to set up phones and the like to not work at night. The government(s) are more concerned about gambling mechanics in games.

> "Everybody loves money."

Yeah, not everybody. I love some of the things that money can buy, buy I genuinely hate money. Love of money brings out the absolute worst in humanity far too often, and lack of enough money causes entirely too much misery. The old phrase "money is the root of all evil" isn't all that far off from true. Greed and love of money are the cause of more problems on this planet than I can count (and I'm pretty damned good at counting).

In Firefox it is available via an icon that resembles a text document in the address bar (or if it is stubborn and does not show the button, by directly going to about:reader?url= + the url you want to view). The customizations are available from an unobtrusive menu on the page and include font-size, line height, serifs or not and light, dark and a sepia mode.
One would hope for a better supported rebuttal given that the gp went through the trouble of giving a few examples.

Or is that more of a firmly and deeply held personal belief more akin to blind faith or hopeful candor than an actual opinion supported by facts?

How this will play out is to be seen. But in many places this is already possible - see US and AU. Normally it applies to your local legal context, so if they are a multinational and have an EU branch they likely already have the servers separate to respect GDPR.

Which only goes to show that recommendation systems need to be separated from the vendors whose wares are being recommended. There's a huge conflict of interest here - so of course recommendations will be biased towards what the platform makes most money on. This applies not just to Netflix, but also YouTube.

As it is, these systems are just in-house banner ads in disguise, and as trustworthy as any other ad.

For a recommendation system to work in the interest of its users, its profits would have to be completely uncorrelated to the recommendations it gives. In a more sane world, platforms would have to accept such third-party recommendation systems as first-class citizens, to be used in lieu of whatever the platform offers.
What’s a “bad marriage?” I think there are some that are truly bad and should be dissolved. But I think in many cases (perhaps the majority), people are simply indulging their own selfishness and poor impulse control at the expense of their kids. Americans highly prioritize (to my eyes, as a foreigner, childish) notions of self actualization and individual happiness over duty to family. And then there’s the kids whose parents never got married, typically because the father is stuck in some sort of extended adolescence.

My siblings in law come from one of those middle/lower middle class primarily white towns you sometimes read about, where two-parent families have declined tremendously. The devastation to the kids is real. Comfortable finances dissolve into financial strain. Lack of stability affects kids’ performance in school. Boys, in particular, suffer growing up without fathers to keep them in line. (It wasn’t until I had boys of my own that I realized how differently they often relate to their mothers versus their fathers. And trust me, we’re not modeling traditional gender roles at my house—my wife’s a scary trial lawyer who pays our mortgage.)

> Modern systems like git don't really work this way. I don't think trunk is properly descriptive anymore because it isn't necessarily the root of all branches. In a GitFlow branching model, commits can move back and forth on feature, bugfix and release branches without ever being merged to develop. On top of that you have branches like gh-pages which should have no shared history at all with other branches.

This criticism apply to every other branch naming, especially "master" (it's not a master copy of anything, then). Maybe "main" would be the best one since it highlights the most important branch of that git tree.
