@Applied-Mediocrity I'd like “a call stack must be no deeper than N items” where N is rather smaller than that…

pie_flavor

@topspin I don't think that's where indexes go. A bunch of other random shit does, though. Note that you'll need to re-symlink every update because the folder name changes. Note also that folder names with older versions can be safely deleted, and will free up equivalent amounts of space.

Some of the files are named like that.

$ du -hd0 .PyCharmCE2019.1/system/index/
1.4G    .PyCharmCE2019.1/system/index/

A bunch of other random shit does, though.

That's pretty much my feelings about it.

Note that you'll need to re-symlink every update because the folder name changes. Note also that folder names with older versions can be safely deleted, and will free up equivalent amounts of space.

Obviously. (Because storing stuff in a folder ~/.PyCharm instead with versioned subfolders below it would make sense)

I believe you can skip that crap if you can find the magic unobvious “link” that says you don't want to have a Microsoft Account. That also stops it from pulling lots of stuff from the Windows Store, so that's a win there too…

I didn’t put in any kind of Microsoft account or something like that. In fact, I didn’t even let it connect to the WiFi before it was set up.

Win10 forced me to fill out three security questions while setting up a new domain-joined system a couple of weeks ago. I think I just mashed on the keyboard for those textboxes.

topspin

@mott555 I wonder which variant of time travel laws exist in our universe, and if we can fix it retro-actively by shooting whoever invented security questions.

mott555

@topspin I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but I always have exactly one of two problems with security questions which makes them worse than useless for me. Either

The questions are so basic that anyone who even slightly knows me will know the answers or could probably look them up in public records,

or

The pre-approved set of security questions are all unanswerable for me because they don't apply to my life (e.g. honeymoon destination or favorite sports star or brother's middle name etc), in which case I have to make up an answer and I'll never be able to remember if I actually need it.

Okay done. Next discovery: UE4's lackluster support for TMap object continues unabated. It simply flat-out refuses to de/serialize them.

Oh well, time to make it an array instead and move to a holding key-value-pair object for more effort...

It just did that to me today... New desktop tower. Wanted to install Ubuntu on it. But first had to boot into windows to disable the secure boot shit. And so I could boot from the USB drive (via the recovery stuff).

Which brings me to:

status Who the fuck thinks Linux is ready for the common user? Every time I locked my new box, it froze and required a hard reset. Googled. Tried various "it worked" options. Yeah, no. Finally stumbled on the "get rid of the open source XORG shit and use the proprietary nVidia drivers". Finally!

Zerosquare

@lolwhat: it reminds me of a story I heard from a former coworker.

To demonstrate their eco-friendliness, the company once gave every one of their employees a mug that was supposedly made out of bamboo.

I'm not sure what material was actually used, but it turned out that the first time someone put one of these mugs in the microwave, it melted.

But in a way, it made perfect sense, because everything about this company was a WTF.

You can (apparently; I haven't tried) skip them by not setting a password when creating the account; once it's working you can change the password if you want. There's also a setting in Group Policy/the Registry to disable them for the computer.
