As someone who doesn’t usually connect with modern Trek, I’ve really been enjoying Academy and Life Of The Stars was one of my favorite Trek episodes of all time. Not many Trek episodes have made me cry like a little girl.

Disco was blessed with a bunch of very talented actors, but constantly plagued with terrible writing. It was lovely to see Wiseman on Academy.

I know an engineer who had several ponds near his property who built an elaborate contraption to attract and electrocute them. He killed tens of thousands. Hundreds more ignored it and bit him anyway.

Bad ass answer.

Hammond is 100% exactly the kind of guy who would have been to the island dozens of times.

Coconuts are tropical! This is a temperate zone!

Doesn’t it sort of defeat the purpose of gasoline being used because it’s so energy dense? Like, this seems to suggest little more than the benefits of electrification in transport.

It allows you to extend the use of gasoline vehicles into an electric future. Fueling gasoline vehicles for $1.50 a gallon is also a wonderful eff you to the oil companies (I’m sure it won’t be allowed to scale).

Based on the narrative, I assume she’s a switch.

mander.xyz for science articles and memes. startrek.website and tenforward@lemmy.world for star trek memes. cybersecurity@sh.itjust.works for cybersecurity news, but not a lot of discussion.

The self hosting communities on lemmy.ml and lemmy.world are pretty active and good at answering questions.

I have kind of the opposite experience. When I go on reddit, I feel depressed and angry, when I go on Lemmy I laugh and learn stuff. Probably the communities I subscribe to though. I get political and regional news from Reddit (and don’t have an actual reddit account anymore). I get funny science and Star Trek memes from Lemmy and cyber security and tech news.

I disagree. This is like blaming atomic power for the cold war or the internal combustion engine for climate change or democracy for Trump (or the printing press for the moral decay of 15th century Europe, or the telescope for the Copernican heresy). Underneath virtually all modern problems are human beings making (often profit driven) human decisions. People have blamed the tools for centuries. But we need to look at the humans hiding behind the curtains and hold them accountable if we want to actually solve problems and change things.

People love to hate on generative AI, and there’s no doubt that generative AI is causing a host of absolute garbage outcomes in our modern world, but the problem is not that people use it to write code faster or make some pictures they wouldn’t be able to make without it. The problem, as usual, is big corporations making big corporation decisions while the human beings that benefit from those decisions are mostly invisible and unnoticed and even when they’re not are totally unaccountable.

When any criticism of the Israeli government or expression of solidarity with the Palestinian people is “antisemitic”, you’ve damaged and weakened the very meaning of the word “antisemitism” and the moral authority of those who wield it.

I got it and it’s funny, but I think lots of people need that /s tag or they don’t process it correctly.

Thank you. You saved me a Google search.

The user’s code is vulnerable to a buffer overflow in certain edge cases. I need to patch the vulnerability and commit the patch to the repo.

I should rewrite the existing memmanage() function to handle these edge cases. (Silently removes all other functionality)

I should modify garbagecollect() to detect these edge cases. I’ll rename it to garbage_collector() for clarity and readability. (Renames the function, calls it no where)

(Confidently) I modified the program as requested, the new version of your application should be more secure and handle memory issues much more efficiently.
