This is good for Linux.

Is Linux growing up or out?

Hey, at least you can be sure it’s clean.

Oddbin , (edited ) in it always interesting when multi billion dollar company's costing system is a 63 tab excel 97 spreadsheet at it's core...

It will live in a folder with:

Spreadsheet(1).xls Spreadsheet - shortcut.lnk Spreadsheet(2) - Copy.xls New Spreadsheet - DO NOT USE.xls

blackbirdbiryani ,

I have colleagues who have 20 copies of the same document with slight variations named like this in a folder. I honestly don’t understand how they function at work.

freebee ,

Could be they don’t.

That’s just version control but worse!

pineapplelover ,

Every tech noob user I see. Worse if it’s mac because 1) I cannot use it for the life of me and 2) almost every Mac user stores it in the same default downloads folder and won’t know what path it’s in unless they use the Finder tool.

I work in Finance at my company and we always save revised copies for Excel files instead of saving over.

But we also have strict rules on it. File name is always “xxxx_Workbook Template Name_MMDDYY.xlsx” or “_YYYY_MM.xlsx”, depending on how often it gets updated.

Older versions get moved to a subfolder. It helps us go back and find out what something was if there was a mistake or revert back if Excel done fucks up.

timbuck2themoon ,

Could just use git…

lars ,

using git on a bunch of XML files saved into a binary ZIP file with a .xlsx filename extension is a hell whose circle we have not yet discovered

blackbirdbiryani ,

Honestly this is one I the reasons why I love Google sheets (controversial I know) as it has a built in version control system.

freebee ,

Excel has it too if you store it in onedrive or a sharepoint library with versioning enabled

gazter ,

Almost 24 hours and no one has commented on MMDDYY? I don’t know whether to be proud or disappointed.

WhiteHotaru ,

As an European I just sigh and read on.

Matriks404 ,

Do people in your company know that there’s something called Windows File History?

Blue_Morpho ,

It never works when you need it. Like “that file was too big”, that file was on a network share, that file is outside the window of how many old changes are saved. It’s like using an undelete utility. Sometimes you get lucky.

It’s better to save every change as a dated/numbered file or use a real source control system.

CommanderCloon ,

If there’s “Windows” or “Microsoft” in its name, you’re risking your business by relying on it

banneryear1868 ,

I routinely scan file shares to find the top oldest modified dates on files.

banneryear1868 ,

I just sort by date modified on my work folder and purge stuff older than a year. Anything of value was moved to its permanent home and properly document controlled.

It’s a river of trash yes but anything of value floats to the surface.

blackbirdbiryani ,

My files are all perfectly stored but it’s impossible to enforce proper naming on your colleagues… No matter how clearly you spell it out they will always mess it up.

banneryear1868 ,

We have a document repository managed by corporate governance and to file documents in it they need to go through a workflow which enforces naming convention/category and establishes approval chain, version control, and review intervals. Anything that is actively used for things should be captured in this system, there’s some that aren’t of course but it’s the standard and you’re laughed at if you reference documentation outside of this system basically. We do this to comply with audit requirements but it’s also just good practice and everyone basically sees the value in it, despite the mild annoyance of dragging your document in to a webpage and filling out some fields.

That’s why I don’t care about my personal document organization too much, because anything of value is getting liberated into a controlled doc template meant for it’s specific purpose and put into the system where it lives it’s life.

gazter ,

It probably makes sense to them. I’m sure they’re looking at your git workflow wondering how you function!

blackbirdbiryani ,

Nah, because when I ask them for info they stare at their directory and have to randomly open files for 20 minutes until they land on the item of interest…

I’m enjoying these brief moments of Lemmy before it becomes mainstream. Who knows maybe it never will which is kinda bad but also kinda good.

Zink ,

It stinks to think that the mainstreaming of this platform that definitely should go mainstream would probably diminish its value for me specifically.

But I guess that’s what communities and even themed instances are for.

jayrodtheoldbod ,

Everyone’s all “I don’t know how InBev became a multibillion dollar global juggernaut corporation, it must have been YOU slovenly alcoholics!”

The Scots are in the corner, leaning a bit too hard on the bricks, like “If it’s named after your country you pretty much HAVE to drink it! At least we don’t have problems with beer so long as you keep the pint up straight!”

I can’t understand German so I’m sure that’s why they all sounded so muddy when they talk. Not the huge steins of beer. No. Don’t be silly.

Spiderman pointing at Spiderman pointing at Spiderman until we all fall the hell down. It’s nice to have something in common.

aeki ,

This sounds like a boast but it’s actually sad? Like I live in Europe and a lot of people I know seriously have functional alcoholism, but it’s normal enough that nobody thinks it a problem until it is. Alcohol is a pretty strong drug. It doesn’t matter if you can “take it”, it’s still doing things in your body.

don ,

OP: Russians are not a thing, not at all.

_Gandalf_the_Black_ ,

They won’t be if Putin keeps sending them to die in Ukraine

don ,

Doesn’t mean they won’t be drinking, though

modifier , in I've been wondering for some time

Because the most well-armed portion of the populace has convinced themselves that the lifestyle of the rich is within their reach and identifies more with them than with their actual peers.

I know we’re having a laugh, but the time when this sort of action is even plausible is quickly running out.

rayyy ,

Well that, and the wealthy have seized control of the MSM to propagandize the working class into believing that the rich alone can save them. Since the money holder always, “need a little more”, they gravitate to fascism which promises them “a little more”.

TheSanSabaSongbird ,

By “the most well-armed portion of the populace” I assume you mean law enforcement? It’s an odd way of putting it, but it’s the only interpretation that makes sense because Bubba and his fellow militia members sure as fuck aren’t coming to the defense of the one percent.

modifier ,

I mean Republicans.

Etterra , in Gonna be a great day!

I doubt this is true, but it sure would be funny.

InfiniWheel ,

Mostly likely isn’t, I follow the account. Most of the time they post very obviously outlandish fake facts, sometimes smaller fake facts and sometimes innane ridiculous real facts. That’s their gimmick “low quality”.

Sanyanov ,

This is not true; Bitcoin is open source and you don’t have to guess whether such line is there or not.

It is not.

tweeks ,

In theory it could be added in addition to the open source, somewhere in the build process. Not that I think that, but it could.

brenno ,

Only if every btc node used this binary but because it’s decentralized theres multiple people compiling the source so the affected binary would not be affected.

In centralized software something like this is way easier. VSCode for example adds proprietary telemetry on top of their open source code and because most people downloads from the website instead of compiling, they ended up using a software that diverges the source code implementation. But even in this case you could use Codium that implements the source code version.

Drusas , in life

Or someone else can fuck it up for you!

dramaticcat OP ,
guy , in Retcon
@guy@lemmy.world avatar

It’s a silly nitpick anyway. The monster, Adam, calls the doctor, Victor Frankenstein, his father. Surnames are inherited, thus they are both Frankensteins.

HandwovenConsensus ,

Also, it’s not uncommon to call a creation after it’s creator (“that painting is a Van Gogh”), so calling him “a Frankenstein” works too.

samus12345 ,
@samus12345@lemmy.world avatar

Kind of a cop-out, since Dr. Frankenstein is referred to as such in the book and the creature never is.

TeraFloppy ,

Of course, Adam isn’t a Doctor.
