  Negative pressure room (fan air outside) for the person sick. Positive pressure (fan air inside from outdoors) for the person not sick.

  Mask, wash hands, keep distance.

  That’s not an apt comparison.

  More like “we’ll have flying cars 50 years from now.”

  If it “makes me feel better”, fine.

  If it “makes it so I’m not contagious and won’t give you Covid”, no.

  WMI was introduced in XP (I think? Was it later?) and asking WMI for the version string was pretty common.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Learn how to count with Bill Gates⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The reason there isn’t a Windows 9 is because there was a common test for windows versions that went something like this:

  std::string winVer = getWinVerStr();
  if (winVer.find(“Windows 9”) != -1)
  {
      // This is windows 95 or 98
  }

  There was no need to produce the items in question, so we lost the expertise and the underlying manufacturing facilities/experience/etc. Stuff like: The company that made the windows no longer exists. The company that made the panels still exists, but they can no longer source the strictly defined % alloys as that company no longer exists. Stuff like that.

  It’s not that simple. Let’s say you have 100 revisions of an asset and the change happens on revision 42. Multiple people work on the same assets. If the engine in question (I admittedly don’t know what they use) stores each asset on a per-file basis, it’s a little easier. If not and the environment itself is stored in a monolithic file, it’s far worse.

  You’ll need to (at best) binary search for the asset. You pull latest, see the bad content is there, try again with revision 50. See it’s there, try again with 25. It’s not there, okay, 37. Etc etc.

  Not only that, it’s very often not as simple as just pulling that revision. “Oh. The asset format changed slightly on revision 40?” Time to pull the entire codebase down. “Asset A is referenced by this asset and won’t work because it differs?” Time to sync the entire codebase & assets back.

  Etc, etc.

  It most definitely takes a lot longer than one minute to check asset files for changes. That’s like saying you can just pop open 200 revisions of a 300MiB PSD file in notepad and see what change it happened in quickly. I don’t imagine somebody will write in their changelist description “submitting Nazi flag, lol” either.

  Definitely a long arduous process to determine it.

  Personally, I think it tastes like dumpster juice. I’ve never tasted dumpster juice, but I’m convinced.

  You can’t back into a spot in a diagonal parking lot.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People who park in the handicapped ramp boil my blood.⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Late response: Yes. You can’t back into a spot in a diagonal parking lot.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People who park in the handicapped ramp boil my blood.⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So people are aware: If you are handicapped, you CAN park in the striped lines. In many cases, it’s the only feasible option for that person to safely exit.

  For example: If directly to the left of the spot is a wall and your vehicles’ automated ramp deploys to the left, they have to park in the stripes.

  Adding insult to injury in this case, it’s possible the handicapped person can’t enter their fucking car.
