Yes. Day one, he was the “anybody but Duras” candidate. Worf easily took the guy in a fight on a few occasions. He later upended the Dominion War effort by throwing ships into bad plans that would be blamed on Martok.
Gowron is a petty politician who sucks.
DNS over HTTPS bypasses pihole, and you have to do some effort to make it work. DNS in general is such a mess.
I really liked Phlox in the first episode, but never felt the followup was there.
As for Discovery, Saru is great, and he has a wonderful relationship towards the end. Michael is OK. Perhaps the show’s biggest problem is that it has a big cast, but it never puts in the effort to develop those characters before it expects you to care at some chosen moment.
With all the goofy shit that happened in TOS, that could pass the smell test.
Rebuild from scratch gets a bad reputation sometimes because it’s the go-to response of a junior programmer with a little experience. They know the system could be done better, and it seems like the fastest way to get there is to throw out everything.
What often happens next is the realization that the existing system was handling far more edge cases than it initially appears. You often discover these edge cases when the new system is deployed and someone complains about their use case breaking. As you fix each one, the new system starts to look worse than the old while supporting half its features.
This often leads people to prefer refactors rather than rewrites. Those can take a lot longer than expected and never quite shed what made the old system bad. Budget cuts can leave the whole project in a halfway state that’s worse than if it was left alone.
There are no easy answers, and the industry has not solved this problem.
Lemmy keeps it real.
I’m not so sure. It’s possible Nintendo opted for a carrot rather than a stick in this case.
This doesn’t seem to have been started with a public C&D letter like usual. Yuzu (the previous Switch emulator that was taken down) incorporated some proprietary Nintendo information, which is why Nintendo had a legal lever against them. They don’t have one in this case, yet it still came down. Plus, everything seems to be have been going on very quiet behind the scenes.
If you were an emulator writer and Nintendo came and offered you life changing money in exchange for ending the project, would you take it? I would have a very hard time turning that down. Nintendo also doesn’t want a flood of yokels trying to start the project up again hoping to receive the same offer; most would fail, but one or two might take off. Better to let the threat be implied.
This is just speculation, of course, but something about the way this has unfolded feels a little different.
There are only so many programmers who are good enough to create an emulator, and a lot of them are already doing other projects. The Switch is also a very complicated system, and it needs a small team to pull it off.
Guys, I think Marx might have been onto something with the theory of alienation.
Goddamit, can Wisconsin have a lead quarterback that doesn’t implode their image?
Communism is, by definition, stateless. No, that’s not a valid argument and never was.
That ML groups work that way tells a lot about ML, not communism.
This is what I expect to happen when AI gives solutions to climate change. Which is what Sam Altman bangs on about in interviews to justify all the power AI models are taking up.
The solutions are all sitting right there. What people actually want is solutions that cost about three fity and don’t require any lifestyle changes. ChatGPT will just tell us about all the solutions sitting there, but that’s not the answer people like Altman want.
The Caprica spinoff, you mean? It was really slow for most of the season, suddenly picked up at the end and got really good, and then it was canceled.
Case in point: another Battlestar Galactica reboot is apparently in the works.
IIRC, the original reason was to avoid people making custom parsing directives using comments. Then people did shit like "foo": "[!-- number=5 --]" instead.
CMV: Mono mix of Jefferson Airplane’s “White Rabbit” is better.
Some hackers DoS the code. This guy DoS’s the corporate process.
Nobody going to admit to being the pigeon? Because that’s me.
This is the most unrealistic thing about the episode.
Y’all think Riker got around, but Picard is the real ladies man on the ship. He’s just more discreet.
