I quit the software industry and all of its stupidity. After trying to change culture I decided that maybe it was me that didn't fit the ridiculous notion that software companies are today. We will see how my next endeavor goes but at least it doesn't have 'burn down charts' and MVPs.
The company I joined makes packaging machines. So there is some "software" development for PLCs and robots but it's nothing like the modern software industry. Plus feature creep costs the customer millions, so it is a pretty fixed deliverable.
Why reversed range? Range is fully capable of descending [1]
You also missed the point of the exercise: start at 0 in your index, but count backward from 100 in output. So the map is 0->100, 1 -> 99, ..., 99 -> 1, 100 -> 0
The IRC and IBC do specify minimum sizes, so if your county adopted either of those then there is a built in minimum.
> Every dwelling unit shall have at least one habitable room that shall have not less than 120 square feet (11 m2) of gross floor area. Other habitable rooms shall have a floor area of not less than 70 square feet (6.5 m2). Habitable rooms shall not be less than 7 feet (2134 mm) in any horizontal dimension.
It's not an internationally enforced document or anything, more of a "base code" that jurisdictions can choose to adopt (often with local modifications) to avoid writing their own from scratch.
Similar codes exist for electrical (NEC, which I guess is national because of voltage differences internationally?) and fire safety (IFC).
I'm not going to weigh in on CC itself (I don't have an opinion either way), I just want to point out that when Texas, NY and California (or any combination of those 3) adopt a standard it becomes almost impossible to find a text book or other resources that are not geared toward that standard, and thus becomes very difficult to generate curriculum.
So with California and NY adopting CC this fuels the adoption of CC in more states as a standard because it opens access to more resources at reduced cost since you aren't buying, essentially, custom materials and books. I think that rubs a lot of people the wrong way and has contributed to a lot of noise around CC.
And that's the thought process that got a bunch of toys banned or restricted (such as magnets[1]) even though they can be responsibly used by many children. I don't think the problem is the product and certainly making it easier to start class action lawsuits will only further decrease the available toys until all we can purchase are pictures of toys. Just don't get a paper cut.
"You spend the highest percentage of your budget on the military." This is true. The US spends more on its military than any other country, and the greatest percentage of GDP on its military.
I think your interpretation was that I meant that the biggest percentage of the budget is spent on the military as compared to other government departments or military, which is not what I was trying to say.
It's not a mains spike, but an EM discharge caused by the rapid voltage and current changes in the flash, that the parent comment is considering (IIUC).
Yes thankyou. This is what I'm getting at. The momentary power flow in a xenon flash is very large. A great big capacitor charges up and then discharges very rapidly to create the bright flash of light. There is also a high voltage exciter coil that fires to kick the xenon tube into conduction at the beginning of the flash cycle. Both of these could be very disruptive to nearby digital electronics.
I thought the original poster would be in a very good spot to help us determine if the effect if photoelectric or the result of EM because he's got everything set up. All he has to do is repeat the experiment while blocking the light from hitting the Pi.
I'll put it in a box and try in a little bit, sorry have to do a few things first. I'm 99% sure it's light dependent though, I had to aim the flash at the board and keep it somewhat close to get it to lock up (like 6" away or so).
Not to dive too off topic, but the telecom industry has been heavily regulated and in no way represents a free market.
Through franchise fees, fighting public right of way sharing, and other forms of lobbying these large corporations have used law and regulation to their favor. This is not a position libertarians support and it is not a market anyone would point at and call "unregulated" in any sense of the term.
> Is it fair to call it regulation when the corporation benefits?
Yes. Most regulation benefits some corporations, because there are very few regulatory issues where there aren't corporations on all sides of the issue.
> (regulation tends to mean "regulation against corporations")
No, it doesn't. There is certainly a particular faction that sees regulation as inherently "anti-business", and a popular association of business = corporation, so I can see how that idea would come about, but its not at all what regulation means.
