Ballots? No. Just do it.
Don't worry. The current regime has plan in place to simply not deliver mailed ballots in states that have any chance of going against your desired outcome.
To paraphrase the apocryphal Stalin: Altering one ballot is a felony. Shitcanning a million ballots is a statistic.
Note that they tried 35 (i.e. 6 bits at 18 qbits needed) and failed.
That's a real shame, because I've always wondered what the prime factors of 35 might be.
I'm still holding out hope that they manage to figure this out during my lifetime.
The purpose of a factory is not to provide jobs.
It's intended to made widgets that can then be sold at a profit.
It's not a social welfare program.
The way things are headed, the only way people are going to be able to obtain money to pay for those widgets is via social welfare programs.
strncpy() was not intended for null-terminated strings at all. It should have been named copy_null_padded_buffer(). Then its operation would have made sense to almost anyone. People wouldn't have minded the longer name much either, because hardly anybody uses null-padded buffers in modern software.
Note that a null-padded buffer that is completely full doesn't have any nulls in it at all. That's why strncpy() doesn't necessarily add a null termination. It also fills the entire destination buffer with nulls after the end of a short copy, which can be very inefficient when used with null-terminated strings.
TL;DR: don't use strncpy(). It doesn't do what anybody thinks it does.
I can figure out what hue, contrast, sharpness, and color saturation settings should be on my NTSC television.
It was easy: Turn the hue knob to the left for purplish skin, to the right for green skin, and then carefully center it for purplish-green skin.
You're complaining about HP Inc's business practices. Hewlett Packard Enterprise and HP Inc. parted ways 11 years ago. (Hint: the latter's name is a pun on "ink").
There is no way the whole payment is taxable. Only certain *profits* are taxed, not all cash flow, and corporations have accountants who make sure any such profits are minimal.
Maybe Roku has been paying to carry Fox content, or Fox has been paying Roku to carry content (I don't know how their deals work), and now that doesn't have to happen anymore?
Let's do the math:
($Fox + $Payment) + ($Roku - $Payment) = $Fox + $Roku
That's a zero-sum transaction. No $400M savings there.
Making a better battery, or commercializing it, is a milestone. Putting a research battery into an airplane is not a milestone. It's a publicity stunt.
Building a reliable long-range monoplane in 1927 was a milestone. Flying it solo from New York to Paris was a publicity stunt.
Which of these two actions do people remember and celebrate today?
I think that these are all just adult album alternative format stations that keep playing that one Wilco record.
If AI services are becoming too expensive in the current environment, we can look to nature for help. There is a an abundant species of large mammals in the ape family that can be trained to do this kind of work as well.
What a funny thing to say about something that is literally all text. Match up the code itself with the commit message and the ticket that caused it to happen - we work in the most documented business there is.
If you don't force/write good commit messages then you get what you deserve.
If you don't force/use good issue tracking then you get what you deserve.
In general, AI now composes my commit messages. Then I delete 2/3 of it. Sometimes I'll touch it up a bit. So it is helping our process...
For every line of code in our repo I know who wrote it, when they wrote it, what they said about writing it, and why they started to write it in the first place. If you don't know those things then you (or your organization) are doing it wrong.
For all we know, what looks to you like a one-day delay is actually a three-month delay, they just had a different launch scheduled the next day.
No. Launching a rocket is not like launching a plane. You have to get it to the platform and set it all up. You have to register with the feds. It's a whole thing. And here (well, at Vandenberg) there is just one SpaceX platform at the moment. I think they are talking about building another.
Maybe they can delay for a day, but at what cost? If your guesses are accurate that is.
You might be right and maybe I have absolutely no idea what I'm talking about. Here's the thing:
https://spaceflightnow.com/lau...
If you keep an eye on that site because you live 50 miles away and like to stand in your driveway to watch launches then you start to notice things. You see the schedule slip by 24 or 48 hours on about 25% of the launches. Sometimes done ahead of time and sometimes the same day (with notes about weather delay on the spaceflightnow page) and sometimes near the last second - as verifiable because the live webcast gets scrubbed with N seconds left on the clock while the camera watches the rocket getting fueled, etc.
I may be way off on the 25% number - it could be half that. It's not double. But it's really unusual for them to slip more than a day at a time.
These launches happen nearly once/week at this point. It's not hard to see the patterns. Sadly, I could not find a good record of how often they are pushed back - I suspect because it's just not a big deal to slip a day or two for these kinds of launches. Moonshots would be a very different story. Mars even more so. But there are 10K+ starlink satellites in orbit and they go 'round every 90 minutes. I suspect they could do 90 minute slips if it were not for all the actual work that goes into a launch and the time to figure it out and the federal paperwork, etc.
To me at least, launch windows makes more sense than just making non-retail employees work on a federal holiday.
Here's the other thing: Elon is an ass. You can ask pretty much any of his current or ex employees - including myself. He doesn't much care what holiday plans he's ruining.
Launches slip *all the time*. I live about 50 miles from Vandenberg, so I keep an eye on when they go up to see if there's gonna be a good view. My guess is that about 25% of them slip - and when they do, mostly it's a 1 day slip.
So slipping to the next day can't be a big deal. Especially if you're planning it ahead of time. Unless you're pushing up against the next launch - which would be unusual.
Yes, there are windows for some satellites. But I think they are roughly daily with these.
People who go to conferences are the ones who shouldn't.
