The verb exact (as in, "exacting revenge" or "exacting a promise") is not as commonly encountered as the adjective exact, (as in "an exact copy" or "exact measurements"). Sometimes people will mistakenly use the more common verb extract when they really want exact. Extract can refer to removing something by pulling or cutting or to getting information from someone who does not want to give it. While both words refer to getting something they are used in different ways. You extract a tooth, but you exact revenge.
Interestingly, the word passed from Latin into French with competing spellings as both abstract (closer to the Latin) and abstrait (which reflected the French form of abstrahere, abstraire), the spelling retained in modern French.
Extract is a 2009 American comedy film written and directed by Mike Judge, and starring an ensemble cast featuring Jason Bateman, Mila Kunis, Kristen Wiig, and Ben Affleck, with J. K. Simmons, Clifton Collins Jr., and Dustin Milligan. The film is said to be Judge's companion piece to Office Space. It received generally positive reviews from critics and grossed $10.8 million worldwide against a budget of $8 million.[2] Extract was theatrically released in the United States on September 4, 2009.
Joel Reynolds is the owner and founder of Reynolds Extract, a flavoring extracts company. Although his business is successful, his marriage lacks passion. He is also often accosted by his annoying neighbor, Nathan. One day, a series of mishaps occur at the extract factory, resulting in an employee, Step, losing a testicle. Cindy, a con artist, reads a news story about the accident. Hatching a get-rich-quick scheme, she gets a temporary job at the factory, manipulating Joel into giving her more information about Step. She also begins a series of petty thefts from her co-workers, who openly accuse each other of the thefts. Although Step initially decides not to sue the company, he changes his mind after a meeting with Cindy, which she sets up in order to meet and flirt with him. Under Cindy's influence, Step hires attorney Joe Adler.
Joel, mistaking Cindy's manipulations for genuine attraction to him, entertains the idea of an affair with her; however, he still loves his wife and wants to avoid actions that would leave him with regrets later. While visiting his friend Dean and complaining about his situation, Dean suggests that Joel hire a gigolo to seduce his wife, so that Joel can then have a guilt-free "revenge" affair. Joel initially balks at the idea; but, after his judgment is impaired after ingesting a ketamine tablet that Dean mistakenly told him was Xanax, Joel agrees. The friends hire Brad to seduce his wife, Suzie, into an affair, while posing as the pool cleaner. The next morning, Joel sobers up, realizes what he has done, and tries to stop Brad from going to his house; by then, Brad and Suzie have already begun an affair. Brad falls in love with Suzie and wants to run away with her. After smoking marijuana with Dean and his friend Willie, Joel attempts to call Cindy but soon realizes that he is calling Willie's number. Just then, Cindy walks into the apartment. Willie discovers Joel's intentions and punches Joel in the face.
Joel moves into a motel, where he spots Cindy, staying in another room. When he goes to her room, he notices a purse stolen from one of his employees, along with other stolen items, and realizes that Cindy is not only a thief, but is also behind many of the company's problems. Joel threatens to call the police but softens when Cindy breaks down in tears. Cindy promises to talk to Step and get him to drop the lawsuit. Ultimately, the two spend the night together. The next morning, Cindy disappears but leaves the stolen items behind.
Step meets with Joel at the factory and offers to drop the lawsuit if Joel promotes him to floor manager. Meanwhile, Nathan stops by Joel's house again, making Suzie lose her temper and finally tell him what she really thinks of him. Just as she finishes her tirade, he collapses and dies; feeling guilty, Suzie attends the funeral, where she runs into Joel. After an awkward moment, the two agree to share a ride. It is revealed that Cindy has stolen Adler's luxury car, leaving Step's truck in its place.
Principal photography began on August 25, 2008, in Los Angeles.[3] Shortly after completing Office Space (1999), director Mike Judge was already about 40 pages into his follow-up script, set in the world of an extract factory when he was convinced by his representative team that he needed to shelve that and concentrate on something more commercial. "The only idea that I had that anyone was interested in was what eventually became Idiocracy," says Judge. Over the next several years he focused his energy on developing Idiocracy. But years later, by the time of the film's release, audiences had decided that Office Space had struck a chord, and they were ready to see Judge return to on-the-job humor and thus the Extract script was given new life.[4]
On review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 62% based on 189 reviews, with an average rating of 5.90/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "Extract has some very funny moments and several fine performances, but the film feels slighter and more uneven than Mike Judge's previous work."[7] On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 61 out of 100, based on 33 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[8]
Dan Zak of The Washington Post, called it "the most disappointing American comedy of the decade".[9] On the other end of the spectrum, Michael Phillips of the Chicago Tribune called it "the funniest American comedy of the summer".[10]
I have 2TB of available storage on my Dropbox account, but am unable to open a ZIP file (approx. 3.2GB) -- instead, I'm getting an error message that says "Couldn't extract files. Can only handle files up to 512 MB." Any thoughts on how best to resolve this? Thanks.
Did this post not resolve your issue? If so please give us some more information so we can try and help - please remember we cannot see over your shoulder so be as descriptive as possible!
I actually CAN'T download a file onto my local computer because there is no fixed Internet where I live (center of Chicago) and I am forced to use cell data for everything. So that solution doesn't work for me. Especially as I would have to download and then upload the uncompressed data afterwards. Just one file would kill off my entire quota of transfer for the month.
I get the same error message - no useful information, no details as to why. I'm personally trying to extract a 1.3GB zip file and wonder if there is a hidden max file size. If so, why is it not made clear in the error?
I have a set of aerial images that I need to cut around a border. I followed the steps for a typical extract by mask process. My first image came out just fine but the rest of my images will not work. Instead of cutting off the white space that doesn't show any aerial imagery it seems to be cutting almost everything except for a few random colored cells. If anyone has solved this issue before and could tell me what I'm doing wrong that would be really appreciated.
I've also attached images to give a better idea of my issue. Image given shows my first aerial photo and what it looks like on top of a base map. Image after extract by mask shows the first shot on top of a base map as well and is the product I want. 2 image given is the second aerial shot I was working on (but all of the other images give me the same problem). 2 image after extract by mask is the result I end up with which is not at all what I want.
Hi all--I have a dashboard that has probably around 700,000 records that is published to Tableau online. The data source is a Tableau Hyper extract that comes from an Alteryx workflow that runs once daily as its output. This hyper extract is the input data source for many of my Alteryx workflows and I'm increasingly running into errors (that involve that the Tableau hyper extract) like this: "error opening database....is locked by another process...:operation would block Context." This hyper extract sits in a shared drive but has never been opened by anyone else or myself. Does anyone have any idea what is causing this and if there is a work around? This used to be an excel spreadsheet but the lag for the dashboard online was horrific.... having a Tableau extract as the data source has been so much faster.
Unless I'm mistaken, the reason it's locked is because you are using it as the datasource in Tableau and therefore the dashboard is (silently) always referencing it. I've not used it personally but I know there's an 'Output to Tableau Server' tool for Alteryx. I'm not sure if using online and not hosting it yourself will affect use of this but if not, you could perhaps use Alteryx to update a published data source and switch your dashboard connection to a live one.
@DataNath that actually makes a lot of sense and probably the reason why this is happening. I have tried the 'Output to Tableau Server' tool and had some issues with it (can't remember what exactly) but I may try going that route again. I know Tableau cannot use an Alteryx DB as its data source but is there anything in your experience that's anywhere close to as efficient (in terms of speed) as a hyper extract? Thank you for the quick reply!
As .hyper files are specifically optimised for Tableau, nothing else will really be as quick for dashboard performance. Can I ask what the other workflows do that use the .hyper as an input? You may not need to use this, depending.
Hi yes--so the .hyper input is a large database of provider information that can change day to day, and usually the other workflows I'm using that involve the .hyper file are joined with various other financial files (in csv format usually) to produce forecasts and what not.
