Key thing is to change the CVT fluid at least at the 60k interval (some countries say to do it every 30k, but that seems excessive). The "it's a lifetime fluid" thing is a total lie; it's the "lifetime of the CVT", so when it grenades itself, that's its lifetime ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I'm hoping they fix this. There's almost no other reason to buy a Toyota other than this reliability reputation.
It seems like the way to go now is a naturally-aspirated Subaru, which I ended up after all the Toyota dealers near me treated me like a chump (which apparently is common; Toyota doesn't have as much "say" over their dealers as other similar companies afaik). Subies have basically been iterations on the same engine for a decade (the FB series), and the brand cannot afford to do much goofy R&D. They're also still dealing with the head gasket reputation despite that being >10 years old at this point (almost 20).

If you don't live in one of the states mentioned in the first paragraph, expect this to take a very long time. For me it took 6 months.
Do you have an example (of yours or others) that you could link?
I've been trying to get this up and running myself, but can't seem to whisper the right CMake prayers.
This seems like one hell of an initiative for the Windows OS. That is millions of lines of C++ code, often with parts from waaay back. A friend who works on one of the OS teams told me that his team got a boomerang hire that worked on Windows back in the 90s and he was still finding parts of his code in there!
I hope this corporate interest bodes well for Rust though. It seems like for C++ it really caused a schism over the ABI break issue where Chandler et al were basically rebuffed finding some timeline to break it, and then Google dropped all their support on the committee in favor of Carbon, Rust, etc.
Want to add another "bool state"? Hello exponential growth...

Your nominal charts are extremely misleading. Real wages have gone up about 10% since the GFC. Is it up? Yeah, but that is quite a tiny amount annually, not even an additional pack of gum.
With an electric car, how can one tell if the pack has been charged all the way up to 100% all the time (vs. the much better 40-70% range)?
This is the "term premium" of batteries it seems, and I honestly don't know if there's a reliable answer.
They're not poorer. They're exactly one used Xbox richer.
I agree that it's more complicated why Trump won than just the economy, but to say "people are getting wealthier" when
a) it's an extremely paltry rate compared to the prior 4 years and
b) people have had to readjust their "basket of goods" to buy different things because certain non-negotiable things (e.g. cars, car insurance, other insurance, utilities in a lot of unregulated states, property taxes outside of places with Prop 13 / homestead exemption, etc) have gone up significantly, putting a squeeze on disposable income.
I guess we're arguing semantics here, but I agree that a lot of voter decision on this is more complicated than real income. I just disagree that $50 / year increase is meaningful enough to have people not feel left behind. That is about 12 bps a year, and I know that if my raise were 12 bps, I'd feel like why bother at all / insulted. If I were a moron, I would blame the current president, but I'm not naive enough to think that it's Biden's fault.
Notice the flat line after the pandemic? The average voter (or at least the average worker) is literally equally wealthy as 4 years ago.
Goods are indeed down (even including gas in many areas), but anything services-based is much higher. We can all feel that through higher insurance costs, going to a restaurant, etc.
I've heard good things about gitkraken though, but haven't used it myself.
I'm guessing this is because the only training material was blogs from uber-nerdy CS researchers on a language where "mistakes" are basically impossible to write, and not a bunch of people flailing on forums asking about hello world-ish stuff and segfaulting examples.
AI code assistants have been a net neutral for me (they get enough idioms in C++ slightly incorrect that I have to spend a lot of time just reading the generated code thoroughly), but being able to say "tell me what the timeline for feature X is" and have it comb through a bunch of internal docs / tickets / git commit messages, etc, and give me a coherent answer with links is amazing.
Though not common, this factory function method does not work for immovable types. You can't yoink these types out of the optional<T> that's returned and put them in a vector<T>, for instance.
Just make sure you spread it out over a few days and you're all good: https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2023/09/ai-ge...
I don't know about it's multi-disk story (I do use ZFS for that personally), but for single disk options it is great. You get so many of the ZFS benefits (snapshots, rollback, easily create and delete volumes, etc) with MUCH lower memory usage (at least in my own experiments to try this out).

* the Bilt mastercard will let you pay your rent via ACH and get points for it (for my ~$2k/month rent, I probably get $150 a year)

Most other countries allow their expatriate population to vote without this taxation requirement. Why should the US be different?
>as well as collect social security benefits.
Absolutely incorrect. The times I've lived abroad have not count towards my SSN contributions; I've had to make up for them after returning, in a sense. I now have to figure out how to collect a smattering of "social security equivalent" payments once I retire from a foreign country as a result.
> You can use US bank accounts and other institutions.
Actually, you're not supposed to in most cases, and most banks will basically force you out if they find out you're not in the US. Only a few brokerages will actually work with you (ibkr is best iirc, Schwab can also work). Pretending to "exist" at a relatives house for your bank may be living on borrowed time, though in practice it is possible to do for years if one leaves. Newcomers can't open a bank account with US citizenship if they're non residents (again, except for a few brokerages).
> You and your children have the right to return if you ever desire it.
Why should I pay for the option to do so? Why not do like every other country and pay if I actually exercise the option and return (and pay taxes)? Just like every other country (except Eritrea and North Korea, but do we want to be in the same camp as them?).
I used to use Org-Roam in Emacs, but fell in love with Logseq [0], primarily because
1. it has a "daily journal" default workflow (though individual pages are supported)
2. the support of datalog queries
3. templates
This basically allows me to make templates for things I need (e.g. meeting notes, etc) and to write a few key queries (that are also templated for reuse) to do things like get the most overdue tasks, upcoming, things I promised to others, things I'm waiting on, etc. I can even drill down and get that stuff for an individual "page", e.g. "Emacs" or "C++".
The lack of a "lab journal" format + flexible queries makes going back to other solutions not as enticing, as the "perfect artifact" of wiki-esque editing (and not being able to easily see backlinks) is not as easy. I can open my Logseq folder, make a "meeting" template, then #tag the people and topics discussed, and be able to go back later and make a query to see when I discussed #topic with #person.
I would love to move this back into Emacs, as I hate having a separate tool for PKM, so if anyone has a similar workflow (or at least flexible queries on "tags" and task status, backlinks, etc, even without the daily journal thing), I'd be grateful for any tips.
The absolutely blistering pace a child can learn at, though, is indeed quite a sight to behold.
Coming from Hyprland and even KDE, Windows seems to be lacking a bit out of the box, but maybe I'm missing something deeper about how it all works.
