Just saw this, I know its a bit pedantic, but damn is it really so hard to make sure your numbering is right for your distro? This is the main one 25.04, the one that the 'download' button downloads.

The single hardest problem in computer science is naming things.

And counting things.

[-] [email protected] 17 points 1 week ago

I've always heard this as

"the two hardest problems in computer science are naming variables, cache invalidation, and off-by-one errors"

Yours is a nice subtle variant, I like it.

Chalk it up to cache invalidation issues 🙃

Different slides using 0 indexed, the other 1. Just choose!

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Likely caused by a revision change in the slide show, one was taken out before slide 11, most of the slides were updated, but this one got missed.

If you think counting is hard normally, try writing anything that embeds a Lua interpreter (indices start at 1).

I'm unsure this is the proper place for this, since its such a minor, non debilitating problem, I think the Kubuntu forums is the better choice? What do you think?

A bug is a bug. Someone needs to deal with it. The forum is for discussion, a bug report is to advise developers that there is a problem.

As a developer, I'm not looking at forums for bug reports, I'm looking at bug trackers.

Well, okay then, ill send it when I can.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

As another dev I agree with the other reply. Even if it seems really small, it still is something that should eventually get fixed and therefore can be considered a bug. It makes it easier to track everything that needs to be done if it is all in thr bug tracker. Worst case scenario if it is considered irrelevant it will just be given an extremely low priority in the bug tracker.

They should just remove the numbering. It's less maintenance, and it's not that important anyway, is it?

[-] [email protected] 27 points 1 week ago

Shouldn’t the numbering be rendered programmatically? What are they manually adding this text to each slide??

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

You'd think, but there's always so much jank.

I'm guessing what happened is that they didn't have numbering, and then later the people making the slides decided to add the numbers. There might be a ticket for programmatic numbers, but it'd be buried under a thousand other ones that are more important.

The 11 is probably also wrong. Make a slide show with 13 slides. Remove one slide before 11. Update your static images, but miss the slide formerly known as 11/13, which should ben10/12.

They aren't rendered programnatically.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Or there is some terrible bug. But either way the questions I was asking were obviously rhetorical. The answer to both questions is “yes.” The intent is more to suggest shock and disbelief rather than to elicit an answer.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

I agree, but at the same time I love the Kubuntu installation slides, they feel so early 2000s PowerPoint.

[-] [email protected] 16 points 1 week ago

Looks like the windows school of counting

To be fair, estimating file copy/move progress correctly is hard.

The most correct way would probably be to group small, medium and large files , so you don't get random small access, then cross-reference that with prior saved disk benchmarks. But you know, a bit over the top.

Although the grouping (and tar-ing the small files) would speed up the copy/move.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

i mean if you can't give an estimate, don't give an estimate. otherwise you're just lying to the user and making things harder for them.

just show how much of the data has been processed and let the user make of that what they wish.
