After thinking about this a while (and contradicting my previous reply, though I want to leave it as it is generally correct!) I think this isn't about vapor or condensation at all. I think this is about leaky roofs! If your roof leaks, rain water gets on the wood, and the foam traps it there (even open cell is slow to wick it away) and so it rots the wood away. Worse, since there is no drops inside the homeowner has no warning that things are going wrong and so won't call a roofer to get the issue fixed. (roofers also are not perfect and so if the new roof leaks they won't know to do warranty repairs before the beams fail - in a normal house you notice the drip, and fix the problem before anything bad happens)

The above is my current belief. Who knows if I'm right.
Disclosure: I only read up until it was revealed what the policy was.

This was always my opinion on this. "As easy to cancel as it is to sign up". It's simple, and completely shuts down this malicious behaviour without making it harder to operate for the honest companies (or worse for customers in any way I can think of). Usually these policies have downsides but I can't really think of any.

This kind of behaviour is common among banks as well, they use their dinosaur status when it comes to things that are bad for their business, but can be very progressive on the other end of things.
For example, to move loans from one bank to another you need some documents (here in Sweden at least) to be handed to the other bank. I had to first wait in the support, then ask politely to get these documents. They told me that they would snail mail them to me immediately, but after two weeks I called them again, then they said sorry and sent me a PDF instead proving that they could have done this immediately...

The US government needs actual anti spam laws.

In Canada, it’s not legal to start sending someone emails because you happened across their email, purchased a list, or someone bought something from your square store. Marketing emails must have express consent, and the consent is not transferable.
I'd bet good money that any new rule will not apply to political-related spam. Unsubscribing from a political party's various fundraising schemes will no doubt remain next to impossible. We can complain about "dark money" all day, but how many of the superpac schemes we setup simply to avoid the inevitable spam/marketing associated with political donations?

Spray foam doesn't remove the need for a designing a proper insulation and moisture barrier system for the building. If you spray foam an interior wall with closed cell foam you most likely will add something to allow the other side of the wood to breath.

Choosing where your moisture barrier line lies is typically easy in new construction but does get tricky with retrofit situations. It sounds like the biggest issue from the article is that they are taking what were vented attics and converting them to non-vented attics with spray foam. The issue isn't really the spray foam, the issue is converting an attic without proper understanding of venting and moisture barriers.

I enjoyed watching it at night with my wife when all the other sports were done for the day, but it was really hard to follow the logic of how a ride was scored.

Me too. I don't care if it's a "legit" business. Unsolicited bulk email is spam, period. If I wanted to receive junk mail, I would have signed up for that explicitly, which I most assuredly did not, no matter how many other products or services I might have purchased from that sender in the past.
The problem is air escaping from the hot side through "cracks" or holes and causing condensation as it reaches the cold side.

In nordic standards, there must be an air-column between the insulation and the outer "cold" layer, to ventilate out any moisture that might get trapped there. There must also be a moisture barrier between the "hot" side and the layer of insulation, typically a PE-sheet, to prevent air from leaking into the insulation.

Since the wood expands/contracts with changes in temperature and humidity, filling compartments in wood constructions with foam does not guarantee air tight barriers.

>At some point you just run out of benchmarks. The majority of benchmarks people ordinarily use already don't run on Macs.

You just need GB5 or GB6. They are correlated to SPEC. Anything else is sort of worthless in 2024.

>It has the same number of cores as the 7730U. Half the M1's cores are E-cores, but that should be an advantage on a comparison at a given power level because E-cores have better performance per watt. The M1 gets within the margin of error of the same MT score on the benchmark you actually like even though the M1 is built on a newer process.

You're right, the 7730U does have 8 cores only. My mistake.
Let's work through the example

1. There's a user-defined type named Thing with a String inside it.

2. We've got a function named findThing, which takes an array of Things and a string name, performs a linear search of the array and returns a mutable reference to the Thing with that name or if it's not found it doesn't. In Go, this function accidentally gives back a mutable reference to a copy of the Thing.

3. We make an array of things, use findThing to find one of them and try to mutate it.

We can translate 1 into Rust easily, it's just struct Thing { Name: String } and the compiler will moan because this is deeply unconventional naming in Rust and that warns by default.

We can translate 3 into Rust easily too, the compiler moans about our naming again.

But when we try to translate 2 by writing findThing we struggle. Rust wants to understand what lifetime to associate with this mutable reference we're returning. If we try to make a copy, where does the copy live? Rust doesn't have garbage collection, so if it just goes out of scope the lifetime ends and Rust will reject this function as nonsense - you can't return references which have expired, silly programmer, try again.

If we don't make a copy we can successfuly tie the lifetime to the array, but then we don't have the Go bug, so the thing you say "could happen in Rust" doesn't happen.

Here's a Godbolt link for a working example: https://rust.godbolt.org/z/shKj6rEz7

Now, try to adjust it to have the same bug, I expect it will be much harder to do this wrong.

You'll actually see that's a general concurrency pattern, and I mean, far beyond Go. It is certainly ideal to trigger off of some signal (in a very, very generic sense of the term, not OS signal) in order to trigger some other process (again in a very generic sense), but in general if you're programming concurrent code you should always have some sort of time-based fallback for any wait you are doing, because you will hit it out in the field. It's all kinds of no fun to have processes that will wait forever. (Unless you're really sure you need it.)

The argument is that it is not a sport, but an artistic expression.

It is not that someone shouldn't have been there, or that the judges got something wrong. It argues that the whole endeavour is misguided.

The article lists a long list of awesome and very cool things which has no business being an olympic sport. It takes the opinion that breakdancing is that kind of thing too.

The same goes for all services. I was able to sign up for an ISP service (in the UK) online very easily, with a few clicks and entries onto a form to enter my details, choose my installation date, choose my speed, etc. Fast forward a few years, I'm leaving that house and need to cancel the internet - snail mail letter needed.
Things to Do Before Asking "Is This Accessible?"
What gets me is that I'm way more likely to return to or recommend a service that I know I can easily cancel. Most of the streaming services are pretty good for this and I'm much happier returning to them because of that and will happily recommend them.

I remember signing up to Which? (a bit like Consumer Reports but in the UK), and cancelling my account was so f-ing hard that I will never sign up again, ever, and I will warn people away from them.

This is interesting, because the argument came from an angle I wasn't expecting. I was expecting the contemptful-of-anything-new "that's ridiculous this isn't a sport" argument that I've heard from the various older people in my life. Instead I got, "this is watering down a form of counter-culture expression".

Which is also wrong, but at least differently wrong. This seems like the usual counter-culture gatekeeping. "Hey! We carved out a unique art form, just for us on the ingroup, and you outgroupers don't get to enjoy it without going through some social rituals!" I understand the sentiment, but nothing about mainstream attention is keeping the b-people from continuing to do their own thing.

>> airplane yoke is optimized for small but precise inputs

It's the opposite. Full left-right deflection on an airplane yoke is about 1/4 of a rotation, a movement measured in inches. Full deflection of car steering wheel is multiple rotations, a movement measured in feet. Car steering requires much more precision than aircraft. The yoke is optimized for rapid full-deflection with minimal control input. Fine control is accomplished through trim systems, which are effectively parallel input methods.

Languages are primarily used to communicate, not discourage communication. They are also not usually unique to a single country.

People will find all sorts of reasons to create in and out groups, but I can’t imagine a country setting a policy of limiting learning of their official language. To protect their culture they’d want it learned so it doesn’t get supplanted by another external language.

I was searching for reasons why to use the Go-Hammer when there are comparable ones such as Java, C#, etc. but the article left me wanting.

It strikes me that Go is riding the peak of hype languages, succeeding Rust and Node.js (which are all good pieces of technology and absolutely have their merit). And like with most hype driven decisions there is little (self) awareness of context and alternatives.

Note, this is explicitly not about the languages themselves, but rather the larger cult(ure) of mainstream programmers around them.

It’s very difficult to overstate how terribly front line service workers are treated on a daily basis, and while I doubt the efficacy of the punishment (which I’ll get into in a second).

In my 12 years working in a similar role for minimum wage, I described it as, 90% of people are pretty benign, 8% are mildly annoying, and that last 1-2% is filled with a broad spectrum of assholes that ruin it for everyone else.

The area I worked was very wealthy and the only way I can describe it is these types of people, for one reason or another, are having a bad day and you’re the last thing they’re dealing with. They don’t seem to see workers as human beings, so they use that as an outlet for whatever they’re dealing with.

The reason this punishment isn’t effective is you’re just going to shame them, not teach them empathy. She’s going to work with a bunch of people she sees as “beneath” her. She’s not trying to support herself with a minimum wage job and all the extra stress that comes with, and she’s not working 70 hours a week (like the manager in the article was). You can even hear in this woman’s interview that she’s only barely ashamed of what happened, and seems to see the action as somewhat justified/heroic.

60 hours of mandated therapy would likely be more effective, but I admire the goal here.
