Skip to 5:44 for the actual bit on golf courses. He explains that there are over 17,000 golf courses in the USA, each averaging ~150 acres, all combined total a land area of about ~4820 square miles, which is enough land to make up 2 Rhode Islands and a Delaware!
Bleh, I told Oracle to literally fuck off (they redacted a couple of my messages), because I was trying to debug their Sound Blaster 16 emulation…

I opened that bug ticket in 2008. It’s still open today, because Oracle basically gave me the corporate version of fuckoff, while I was only acting as a volunteer debug coder.
I think I have one of the longest still open bug tickets in existence, and they can sugma…
Well you sound like a pleasant individual, happy holidays to you as well.
Whatever software you were working on, I’m pretty sure most people aren’t inclined to support douchebag developers…
Umm, okay.
Why wait? If you don’t like the fediverse, I’m sure you can find the exit…
Is that a boomerang in your pants, or are you just happy to be here?
We are SAUSAGE. You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile.
I set a 4:20 alarm, time to smoke a joint…
But have you tried that address 255.255.255.255?
I hear it’s the Master Key to the Internet…
Coming from Windows 2003, Vista Ultimate and 7 Ultimate era, Restore Previous Versions was enabled by default, and was a side service of System Restore…
Me while doing error handling?
Well shit, all my functions both take and return memory addresses. When one of those blocks of data happen to fail the data sanity check, the function returns either -1, -2, -3, -4.
See, you’ll never get such numbers as proper memory addresses, they’re assigned as blocks, larger than 4 bytes…
So, if one of my functions returns a -1 through -4, that tells me which argument to the function failed the sanity check…
Windows has some other features hiding behind the scenes and bogging the system down when files get changed, like Restore Previous Versions…
I do believe that feature is closely tied with System Restore as well…
I didn’t say the Recycle Bin does any data compression, I said System Restore does data compression, and this is indeed a known fact.
I take it you don’t filesystem much do you?
Moving a file is literally just changing a pointer in the filesystem table to basically say ‘hey, these file contents are now stored in this other folder’. Moving a file on the same drive literally never requires rewriting the actual file contents.
I’m practically certain that what’s slowing Windows down when sending something to the Recycle Bin is the background processing and data compression being performed by System Restore.
Have you ever actually used Process Explorer before? I mean digging behind the scenes and find out what process threads are eating the CPU and keeping storage access open…
Process Explorer does way more than the default GUI throws at you…
Antivirus, Windows Defender, Bitlocker…
Shall I continue?
Try OpenFilesViewer and Process Explorer, amongst a myriad of other SysInternals utilities…
Oh my goodness, they need to outlaw mirrors! The kids will see themselves naked in the bathroom!!!
True that, I’ve seen at least one golf course closed that’s like 10 miles north of us. Do note that I’m not a golfer…
Anyways, all the more reason to open the land up to the unhoused/houseless!
