Linke und Rechte sind natürliche Feinde.

So wie Linke und Liberale.

Oder Linke und andere Linke.

Scheißlinke! Die haben die Linken zerstört!

Forgive my ignorance. SQLite is a database software. Why would McAffee create lots of database files?

[Edit:] I’m not asking why a program needs to store data. I’m asking why that necessitates many files. One database file (or one per table) should be enough, right?

The issue is still open. https://github.com/ventoy/Ventoy/issues/2795

The last comment has this:

Nobody’s asking anyone to draw a map from memory. They’re asking a news channel to put in the 5 seconds of googling it takes to procure an accurate map.

Was wir wollten: Dönerpreisbremse

In my experience it’s the other way around.

Yeees, I forgot all about the non-existent module system.

– Professor: Here’s the template for your thesis.

– There are, like, 50 lines of macro imports here. Which modules does this need?

– Fuck if I know. You want my installation? It’s only 50GB.

Teach this to your manager: At the beginning of a task, uncertainty is highest. Under no circumstances should you give an estimate in ‘man-hours’. Even days is too precise. The first estimate should be in months or years (of course depending on the size of the project). Then, as your insight into the project grows, you refine that to months, then weeks, later days. A vague estimate with a lower and a higher bound is way more useful to your manager than a ridiculously ‘precise’ but highly speculative number.

This lesson was brought to you by either “Code Complete 2” or “Rapid Development” by Steve McConnel, and by my former manager who wanted projects estimated in minutes.

Don’t forget the invocation

Increasing its reach? You seem to believe everyone has been terminally online since 1985, but I haven’t seen this and it made me happy.
