Then good ol regCleaner.exe and sometimes regClean too. Gonna give Uninstalr a try.
The problem is that your loophole is my socially-significant deduction. Why wouldn’t we want to allow deductions for insulation and energy efficiency, or electric cars?

Every deduction exists because someone wants it to exist. And “eliminate all deductions” lasts until someone goes “but what about the child credit” or any other issue.

This will continue as long as Americans continue to be averse to the idea of actual cash transfers and continue to use the tax code as a backdoor system for remitting subsidies and credits.

Are you claiming that mistakes are never made? Clearly a mistake was made in this case. From the Tesla representative: "I am having the team fully post the funds of the cashier's check. I am redrafting the documents and title/lien to your name instead of [BANK]."

Of course, "fully post the funds" is a meaningless load of garbage. (What would it even mean to "partially post" the funds from a cashier's check?) Tesla is admitting that they had the cashier's check the whole time, and cashier's checks don't bounce, which is the whole point of a cashier's check from a bank.

It's for the very simple reason that flags are more easily discoverable (with simply a couple of tab key presses I can iterate and see the list of most flags of most of the cli apps I use) than "whichever program amongst the 7362 executables with obscure names I apparently have in /usr/bin will do the thing I want"

Here is a tiny excerpt try to get dvc to work just so I could get the training weights for deployment ... remember I don't develop much w Python...

$ dvc pull
Command 'dvc' not found, but can be installed with:
sudo snap install dvc

$ sudo snap install dvc
error: This revision of snap "dvc" was published using classic confinement and thus may perform
arbitrary system changes outside of the security sandbox that snaps are usually confined to,
which may put your system at risk.

If you understand and want to proceed repeat the command including --classic.

ok I get dvc installed somehow -- don't remember. Time to get the weights...

$ python3 -m dvc pull
ERROR: unexpected error - Forbidden: An error occurred (403) when calling the HeadObject operation: Forbidden

Having any troubles? Hit us up at https://dvc.org/support, we are always happy to help!

Finally I just have my colleague manually copy the weights. This kind of thing went for hours.
The Return of KITT: Knight Rider Car Finale Upgrades Revealed [video]
Hey there - author of article here. This story is 100% true, believe it or not. The problem for them was mainly that the agency running their ad account counted "demo requests" as their top metric and mistakingly counted all demo requests that came in as attributed to the marketing spend. So they reported on faulty numbers during the entire year. Hubspot showed that direct ads actually didn't work at all (mainly because they didn't really have PMF yet). Needless to say, that agency got fired pretty quickly.
There was movie about that process (though not with books): "Perfume, the Story of a Murderer"

I liked it.
Are things just not as fascinating now? Is there anything similarly cutting edge today. I know that part of it I was much younger but I also remember most of the people around were way older and seemed to share in the wonder and amazement at those GB+ hard drives and the thought of 32mb of ram.

I guess there's just not anything new that's advancing so rapidly.?.? Like my computer is 13 years old and is still overpowered for 99% of tasks. And they are still selling brand new computers with far lower specs. Imagine in 1997 being satisfied as a developer with a computer from 1984!

I also have other interests and it feels like they have plateaued similarly. I guess I'm still getting some dopamine from solar and battery tech, price drops at least, and some neatness around microcontrollers and IOT but like even food has stopped seeming innovate. It used to be worthy of a day trip to drive into the city to eat at new exotic offerings and now every small town has mostly the same stuff and there's nothing really new in the city either.
in my neck of the woods, a contract cant contravene the law, any such thing is invalid upon creation.

Right, sure. I agree that tech had it way easier before the interest rate spike.

The job search landscape is just very bleak at the moment, no other way to put it.

Reactive Storage
Most new devices don't have enough space for 5.5x anything. And 2.1mm is the more common one from what I can see.

Regardless it's a crappy choice for consumer electronics because it's got no voltage negotiation. You can fry stuff with it, and chargers aren't universal.

2.1mm is a wonderful connector for switches, sensors, solar panels, and power you need to daisy chain, but PD is pretty much perfect for point to point medium power devices.

USBC seems to break far less often than anything else that's cheap and small. I don't see why 19 pins is an issue unless you just really like simplicity.

It absolutely looks like something that would fail all the time... But it doesn't. Somehow they made it so even the cheap knockoffs are durable.

>While this sounds like a reasonable argument, I think it's a load of bullpucky. Motorcycles are loud by default, and using aftermarket parts to make them louder is just part of the self-affirming statement of ego. These guys need you to know how big and bad they believe themselves to be that they'll make other sacrifices in their lives to afford projecting that image.

It basically is. Most bike horns are going to be louder then stock or aftermarket exhausts, yet no one's gone around tapping the horn button down.

I found the following quote:

> RheEnergise said it invented the new high-density fluid, known as R-19. Chief executive Stephen Crosher told Professional Engineering that the liquid is a fine-milled suspended solid in water, with low viscosity and low abrasion characteristics. The base material is used in oral medication applications, in a similar way that chalk is used as a bulking agent for pills and tablets. He said the raw materials are common and available, including in the UK, and the fluid could either be manufactured on-site or at a depot. [0]

Maybe someone knowledgeable about oral medication applications has any idea.

OP wrote something about the bank's name on the title. Did the OP have a correct title in hand? Without that, the car was not (yet) their legal property.
The purpose of that sentence is not entirely clear to me. It seems to be defining the term "correct program", but hasn't given the term in italics, and the term is not used anywhere. Most C programs contain unspecified behavior because, for example, the order of evaluation of function arguments is unspecified. If we call any function of two or more arguments, unspecified behavior has occurred. Usually, there is no visible difference, so it doesn't matter. It's not clear to me why that sentence includes unspecified behavior, but not implementation-defined. I think it may be intended to include implementation-defined, since implementation-defined behavior is "unspecified behavior where each implementation documents how the choice is made".

In any case, it's saying that nonportable programs can be correct. Later in another paragraph, a strictly-conforming program concept is defined which cannot produce output dependent on implementation-defined or unspecified behavior. Those behaviors themselves cannot be eliminated (like unspecified evaluation orders) but the program doesn't produce any output dependent on them.

Note that although #include <unistd.h> is defined by implementations, it is not "implementation-defined behavior". It is a documented extension. The same section talks about extensions a little down "A conforming implementation may have extensions (including additional
library functions), provided they do not alter the behavior of any strictly conforming program."

An explicit definition is where the standard gives a requirement in words. I think the word "explicit" is there just for emphasis. Definitions are explicit. Explicit is the opposite of implicit; implicit means understood without words. You can't define something without words. Maybe the purpose is to discourage implementors and users from making tenuous inferences of unwritten definitions of behavior.
> A system is compositional if you can build it from small reusable parts.

Take big monolith. Refactor into 1001 pieces. Glue together again.

If glue is inflexible, then result is monolith+glue.

If glue is thick, then result is mostly glue + little bits of monolith.

If glue is superb (well designed & flexible), the whole works the same as monolith, but pieces can easily be rearranged as needed (and individually tested!).

Designing good glue is HARD! And then some.
I think it's entirely possible that the random opinion of a person who is not involved, nor a resident of the country in question may not need to supersede what is possibly an informed decision on the part of Kenyan officials. While it's fashionable to assume non-Anglo countries operate exclusively within the context of corruption and ignorance, Kenya has the right to secure its own values over the hopes and dreams of Silicon Valley.
It does. That's where the pink "smoke ring" comes from.

To take some further wind out, with current disk sizes there’s a decent chance of a second disk failing while you’re still replacing the first. Reading all the data off a disk is a stressful operation, you see.

But that means you need RAIDZ2 or erasure coding to be reasonably safe, which takes you well outside what most of these turnkey systems can handle.
Not quite that severe, but that is certainly the case in California at least in regards to illegal exhaust systems on motorcycles.

If you have a bike with an illegal exhaust, professional shops won’t touch the bike because of potential fines and sanction.

The moment a company sells one car online they lose support from every one of their dealerships nationwide. It's possible for a manufacturer to embrace this model when they are starting from zero, not so when they have millions in existing sales per year to worry about.

I am considering something like that, and noticed some enterprise / data center SSD makers do not publish firmware updates.
Checking as I type this:
Kioxia seems to only have consumer SSD firmware/tools/binaries.
Micron has a list of firmware downloads for their drives.
Samsung seems to have only consumer SSD firmware/tools, except for SM/PM863.
Solidigm has a comprehensive status and download page for their drive firmware, including all(?) previously-Intel drives.
Western Digital seems to only have consumer drive firmware available without a support ticket.

I am discounting whether email support could provide firmware, as I believe firmware updates should be as easy to access as possible (and have read forum posts describing the issues encountered when trying and usually failing to request via support channels).
- If I missed something, please post it, would be good to know.
Exactly. My only consolation is that, probably, many "readers" are going to be bots.

A lesser known fact about Silphium is that its seed is thought to have been the origin of how we draw heart shapes

If you compare the drawing of a heart and an actual heart, you will see many dissimilarities.
Scholars believe that the heart shape is actually inspired from the Silphium seed, which was heavily used in contraception [0].

I would like to see how the seed of one of these plants looks like, and if it looks similar in shape to it’s depiction on ancient coins.

Hey, author of article here - the parent comments are correct, I mealy consulted after they already spent this amount. I'm sorry if you felt cheated out of a story - I'm planning to write more about this later in the series but it didn't really fit the story about PMF & setting objectives so I could not round it out more in this one. But I've realised I might have to write a separate post just about this specific incident and what we did to bring the spend and results back on track. Thank you!

Depends on who's farting, if you don't like someone or it's a stranger (you're not kinda attracted to) everything about them is an assault to the senses.
What happens in practice is that those thousands of people degrade the quality of life of millions of people. Those millions, don’t do anything, and don’t do anything, and don’t do anything, and then elect a populist right winger running on a law and order platform. Then you get all kinds of distraught think-pieces from distraught 25 year old graduates of elite art colleges wondering how this could possibly have happened.
> Rust probably won’t allow me to implement a couple of lockless parallel algorithms I have implemented in my Ph.D.

Why? Can you be more specific? Rust has built-in support for atomics and essentially the same memory model as C++, e.g.:

https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/sync/atomic/struct.AtomicU32.h...

And you can sidestep essentially any requirements of normal Rust using an `UnsafeCell` (e.g. that's how mutexes are implemented, with an `UnsafeCell` holding the data and an atomic).

I've written my share of lockless algorithms and I haven't really noticed any deficiency compared to C++, but then, I'm not an expert in this area, so if there is a deficiency here I'd love to hear about it.
