Talking of forced updates, has anyone experienced this?
Busy writing document/coding/browsing/whatever when machine stops responding completely. No mouse, no keyboard. Only way out is to restart it. Then loads of updates are installed, sometimes taking more than half an hour to complete.
This has happened to me on two desktop pcs and three laptops, all running WinX (pro and home).
It's an incredibly irritating behaviour especially when trying to book a flight or complete an order online.
This has never happened to my Linux box...

This has happened to me, my wife and my son on Win10.
My wife was in the middle of paying a bill, had just clicked the submit button -- perfect timing, Microsoft!!!
I've had the issue a couple of times in the past.
It's absolutely terrible.
My wife, a non-tech user, has asked, "why does Microsoft believe they are allowed to do this without warning me?"
That's the 64 dollar question.

Added a new association on EDMX in VS 2015. Waited for it to check out files and save. Got annoyed, went to get some coffee. Came back, it is still struggling to do that.

At what point do you realise that it's busy trashing your production database?

Still busy? I thought the noisome EDMX was already dead.

That's what baffled me. It was an independent association. It did not need to touch the DB at all. After waiting for half an hour or so, I see it had checked out and deleted everything under context. It did not create anything new. So, I was left with one EDMX file and plenty of errors in data access project as none of class files were present.
At that point, I left for home. I don't understand why are these things (burn in hell all you fancy JS libraries) popular. They are taking away my control from my code and my database. How can it be good?
Note: Now before you point that I am using .Net and I anyways have less control than C or C++, I know that and .Net framework just works unlike these things.

The Seatbelts - Tank![^]
This song is a big band jazz piece in a Latin-infused hard bop style with a rhythm section that combines a double bass and bongo drums and also has an extensive alto saxophone solo.
Thus spoke Wikipedia, I'm not that knowledgeable about jazz
Anyway, it's the intro music to Cowboy Bebop, a legendary (and in my opinion overrated) Japanese anime series.
Overrated or not, the series got me hooked (unfortunately it's only 28 episodes).
I finished the series, but I'll be listening to the soundtrack for some time to come

What is the radius of a circular buffer?

Always too small...

radius = circumference / (2*Pi), of course!
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

circumference = 2*Pi*radius

This is how buffer overruns occur. If the radius is too little, the circumference won't have enough room for all the buffer elements.

r = c / (2 * π)
Software Zen: delete this;

In Bits I think it is something like this:
r= BufferLength * BitPerEntry / 2 / π

The same as the radius of a circular argument.

Warning: Be careful doing live experiments to calculate the answer, to many tests running at the same time greatly increases risk of a buffer low stampede.
