Nope. "All I want for Christmas is Yu". She's Chinese...

"Yu" sounds 'bout right, during her time in Vegas she scared a lot of the USA folks away, OTOH there really are hell of a lot more Chinese than before. (No accounting for taste with that lot.)

This is a reaally baaah'd thread.

This is what one of our iMacs has been saying about the Sierra install for the past 30 mins.
I always find it puzzling that showing an estimation of remaining time is so difficult.
[Edit: 1hr later it's now saying "40 seconds remaining". 1 hour later...]

Caeser III is on sale on Steam! Although for me to install it I think was only a few seconds.

Go ahead and implement one somewhere on CP. I double-dog dare ya. I'm sure 12M registered users will never complain it's inaccurate.

Shhhsh! This is a secret!
There really aren't 12 Million + users.
That counter was made by the same people who made the time-remaining estimator.
Now don't tell anyone!

Well at least it's never going up, then back down, then back up again by a few millions...

Easy: it would always say "Real Soon Now" until it actually finished, then it would say "almost done". Just in case.

Did you use the same time estimation algorithm to estimate how long the site would be down for just now?

Of course not - that'd be silly and inaccurate.
We use the well-tested Random.Next method, of course.

Reminds me of the old mainframe days when if something was expected to take a while to install or run, the programmer would display: "Sit back, this will take a while."

I do not: my time estimations for completing projects are, well, 'a bit inaccurate'.

or a few bits... but who's counting right?

Exactly!

That's what it's said on the Maunder catching up with Mick for a beer clock, for the past 9 years or so.
