Actually, the standard deduction doesn’t mean people can’t itemize, it means it doesn’t make financial sense to itemize. Itemizing is worse for them. If they want to itemize, they’re still allowed to.

… At least that’s what TurboTax and the other FreeFile program I used claimed.

Mixtral 8x7B, just out. Codes better than ChatGPT in the few prompts I’ve done so far, and I can run it at 2 to 3 tokens per second on my GPU-less laptop.

Any altitude of orbit can become space debris. They just won’t stay space debris for nearly as long as geosynchronous or high orbit.

Have you got a nice big valley with an existing water flow to donate or sell to a new hydro plant?

Hydro is absolutely great (if you ignore local ecosystem ecological damage) but it has very significant land use requirements. These can make it difficult to build practically once you have most of the good spots filled in, so it’s incredibly difficult to price new builds of it. Some areas may be infinite cost because the land topology simply doesn’t exist. Others may have the perfect site and be relatively cheap.

I was being diplomatic because I was uncertain how people felt about the issue and PR tracking, considering how Bitbucket and GitLab replicate it. Felt simpler to focus on the since-M$ft egregious steps.

Git is a program your computer runs to have a single folder have source control. It does all the hashing and commit chaining that you’re used to, branches, that sort of thing.

But if you want it to be on more than one computer, you need to do this complicated “Bare” repository setup on a server computer to do the “git push” stuff you’re used to.

Most people, being too lazy to learn bare repositories and the general sysadmin necessary to host a git server themselves, instead just use Microsoft’s Github which is a web interface for the server use of git the program.

Microsoft then proceeded with their classic mantra of “Embrace, Extend, Extinguish” and started slapping on more and more features that are incompatible with any other git hosting service: actions, CI, their web VSCode instances, etc. That’s all in GitHub too. But it’s all just web interface for git the open source program, at the end of the day.

I literally don’t even install it on Linux because the screen share works more often through Firefox than through their native app. That doesn’t mean it works consistently, and there’s never any sound, but at least I can sometimes make it work in the Firefox webapp. The native app is worthless.
