I was looking for "Core dump" or "Excption" of "Out of memory" beers (that would probably be a rather strong one), but didn't find them on the list (Lilla Ölfabriken, Malmö, Sweden | RateBeer[^]). Maybe they'll offer that next year.
They could have a "Real" series, couldn't they? Maybe a "Basic" series of simpler beers, and a "Complex" series for those with a more advanced taste. I guess the "Bool" beer would be one that people love or hate. Beer that is sold in stores for taking home: "Reloacatable" beer. Cases referred to as "Compiled" beer. Homebrew kits for fermenting your own: The "Private" series. If they diversify into cider production, there should definitely be an "Apple" series.
What else could we propose to the makers?

Sounds yummy. Damn it...now I'm thirsty

Not a bit, very, in my opinion.

So you live in Malmö?
What would be the cost of shipping a 24 bottles case to, say, Australia or the US West Coast? And how would the beer take the shipping?
|
|
|
|
|
No, but they sell occasionally in other areas and a college is bringing a case when he visits his parents this weekend.
I don't have a clue what the cost would be, but my guess is: ridiculous.
I'm going to find out just for the sake of it.

I hope the vanilla mentioned really isn't there, not what I want in a beer. Other than that it sounds great, I love stouts and porters. Can you send me a couple?
Those reviews sound positively wine club inspired. Only need to rate it as a Man's beer, a girly beer or a beer for poofs.

I'll try it first, then I'll tell you, or send a box.

Vanilla in stouts and porters is great. Don’t knock it until you try it.
I’ve recently gotten into home brewing... I intend to do a vanilla porter in the coming months - if it turns out you’ll need to schedule a trip.

I wonder what does it taste like. Is it sweet? strong?
I'm a beer drinker and I love IPA and Ales. The stronger - the bitter better.

So maybe Nerdbrewing Public Static Lemongrass IPA is the one for you?
Or maybe Nerdbrewing Beta #1 Bourbon Oak Aged Binary Imperial Porter?
You can see the entire list of Nerdbrewing beers made by Lilla Ölfabriken ("The Little Beer Maker") at Lilla Ölfabriken, Malmö, Sweden | RateBeer[^].
What's in a name? A beer by another name would tast as sweet.

Nice. I wish it's available here so I could try them.

I just read the following explanation of why the original Windows 10 October update (which was withdrawn) deleted files (potentially lots of them)…

Wow! This is what happens when a thoughtless design and poor QA combine to produce devastating consequences. MS seems to continually get worse at updates. I am already depressingly familiar with the annoyance of "fixing" broken updates. Now, apparently, I have to worry about significant data loss as well.
I truly hope MS finally learns a long overdue lesson. They have to get back to basics. Their update mechanism is desperately in need of a re-design. It's flaky, unstable, and now (IMHO) among the worst in the industry.
Also, they have to place more value on QA. This was not an edge case and should have been caught (quite easily) before release. Nowadays, they seem to use their customers as a QA department.

The scary part is that not one member of the engineering team thought to ask "what if there are some files in the old folder"?
|

My guess is they are only hiring sales people for engineering positions now. That is the only thing I can see to explain the decisions they have been making.
|
|
|
|
|
... or anyone clever enough to post a question in QA that ends with the words, "but does not work".

Not only sales, add managers to the list as well..!

I think it is more a case of allowing sales people to make too many very important decisions. In other words, I think their priorities are misplaced. Doing the right thing does not seem to be in their top handful of priorities because it is obviously not being taken seriously enough right now. Then again, it is possible that my concept of doing the right thing differs from theirs but I suspect I have gone full circle now. I consider preserving a customer's data is THE highest priority and doing everything possible to maintain that is the right thing. I get the impression that at Microsoft the highest priority is getting the monthly or quarterly update out on schedule and I could not disagree more with that.
I truly hope that a major lawsuit is enough motivation for a serious course correction to occur there.

My reply was a bit tongue-in-cheek, and I agree with you to an extent. But I have begun to feel that Nadella and Company believe the Home user is not their real customer, as we don't make them enough money. Enterprises are where they focus their attention, and Home users are their testing grounds for Enterprise adoption. The real engineers have to live with those decisions, because the powers that be bow to the shareholders more than the market. Those 'powers' view the initial release as trivial, because it won't affect Enterprises, and will give them the testing for Enterprise adoption. Pretty scary/sad to drop $120 and be treated like you are only data.

Scary in the extreme...they make a design decision to delete a user file (any user file), they don't carefully consider the consequences of this decision, they don't provide a recovery mechanism (in case the user really wanted that file), and finally their QA department (assuming there is one) doesn't check that all user data is retained. To me, this demonstrates a break-down at almost every level of process.
For me, "don't lose my stuff" is the primary responsibility of an OS, followed closely by: "secure my stuff" and "try not to crash too often"

That's why Microsoft stopped the update - a simple bug does not do that, but this one is a perfect case for lawsuit and money...
