On Arch, I think you could install a second "backup" copy of Arch Linux on a recovery partition that your motherboard firmware can boot into directly, and then use the `arch-chroot` program to recover your main OS. I'm sure s

Please link to where I said not to use copyleft licenses. Check the usernames carefully. Note that I don't agree that GPL and MIT are equivalent, or that GPL becomes a non-copyleft open source license if not enforceable. IANAL but it m

From talking to friends workings in imports and manufacturing, they expect what will happen is weeks or months of delay on most shipments as CBP is utterly unequipped to deal with the volume.

The $800 limit was set during the Obama administration, well after internet direct to consumer sales existed.

by dharmab 1y ago
$800 was set out of desperation. CBP was overwhelmed and underfunded, so the executive increased the de minimis to significantly higher than any other country ti relive their workload. The proper solution would have been for Congress to inc

No, the argument for de minimis is that the cost to collect taxes on a $20 parcel is less than the collected tax. Granted, the US' $800 de minimis, which was created because of a lack of funding to deal with the volume of shipping, was

It applies to each parcel, not an entire shipping container. Note that a parcel can contain multiple physical boxes for a single order.

I didn't say you should avoid non-copyleft licenses? Indeed, all of my own OSS projects are non-copyleft.

From the blog post it seems like existing users kept using Redis but new users adopted alternatives instead.

There are good legal reasons to avoid the GPL; there are open legal questions about whether the GPL and its variants are enforceable.

I make an open source, MIT licensed piece of software. I don't accept unsolicited contributions, but I document that people are free to fork the code and provide instructions on how to develop, test and build on your machine. Am I &quo

Netscape Navigator was sold to consumers as boxed software at retail. IIRC it was around $60.

Note that tariff categories can be pretty tricky. For example, a board game might be imported as a toy (125%) or as a table or parlor game (20%). Both categories are valid choices, and it simply depends on which the importer specified on th

Is your comment pro-SLURM or anti-SLURM? I took a serious look at SLURM for my problem space and among my conclusions were: - Hiring people who know Kubernetes is going to be far cheaper - Kubernetes is gonna be way more compatible with pop

I am encouraged by the recent success of Clair Obscur. Sandfall has demonstrated you don't need hundreds of devs or a 100 million marketing budget to make a great AAA quality game.

The Japanese GPS based limiters were accurate enough to handle that, when Top Gear tested them around 15 years ago.

No, because rich car enthusiasts can afford track time. Performance mods are surprisingly affordable if you do all the labor yourself.

Could that not be allowed by the GPS based limiter system that Japanese sports cars have used in Japan for decades? if carOnAutoBahn { setLimiter(155) }

There's a ton of online stores that specialize in specific categories of product- the better question is how to discover those stores instead.

Yeah, like, bulk wet wipes, or some spatulas, or a counter scraper.

It's much more common to park a truck backed in than a car, in order to load the bed e.g. from a loading ramp or dock. The backup camera is great for lining the bed right up to where you are rolling on the cargo. You _can_ do it withou
