RIP Robert :(

Caunt…. I feel uncomfortable

Berman and friends thought troi was too fat looking in the standard uniform 😠 we were robbed of 5 or 6 seasons of a lady in uniform 😅

Tuvix ass lookin motherfucker

I’m NOT DUMB

I believe the academic consensus is he likely (>50% probability) existed, but it is for sure disputed by some. Personally I’m not religious and I accept the possibility he existed or maybe he didn’t. Kind of doesn’t really matter because we can be fairly confident he wasn’t the son of god lol

I felt similarly. Like, sure, its a little silly but hey go for it. But if you go for it you gotta nail it and while the performances were all decent the songs themselves were mostly just ok.

La’an definitely becoming one of my favorite characters, which is surprising because she was middle of the pack in S1.

Canonically Kahless did at least exist (whether or not he was divine is not answered). Very similar to Jesus lol

My hot take is that unmaintainable monoliths result from poor system design / too strong coupling. If you can’t cleave off portions of your monolith without breaking it you built it wrong in the first place, and the choice between monolith and microservice isn’t going to save you. Perhaps starting with a microservice forces people to make (or at least consider) better design choices from the beginning but 1. there is no reason you can’t make those same architectural decisions with a monolith and 2. you can still strongly couple microservices with poor design.

Getting back to basics of “what makes for good application development” using good abstractions, Go4 patterns, SOLID / KISS / DRY / etc, means that whether your threads are running colocated vs on another VM vs on another box vs in another datacenter vs in another continent shouldn’t affect you much. If your app breaks in ways beyond “I wonder if moving this job to another system means we’ll suffer from memory nonlocality or sync latency” the walls are already closing in lol.

Never seen so much truth in one article. 90% of applications would be fine as small VMs running monoliths. Dev time is an expensive resource compared to VMs and the simplicity promised just isn’t there. And having tech companies that run the major cloud platforms also be the software evangelists that herald “the new best way” of doing development was always a conflict of interest.

That being said, FaaS is nonetheless a useful tool in the toolbelt for the odd app that does actually need crazy scale to 1000000 scale back to 0, or for certain kinds of simple apps. Traditional app development still rules the middle space when it comes to team productivity.

The changes:

Intel® APX doubles the number of general-purpose registers (GPRs) from 16 to 32. This allows the compiler to keep more values in registers; as a result, APX-compiled code contains 10% fewer loads and more than 20% fewer stores than the same code compiled for an Intel® 64 baseline.2 Register accesses are not only faster, but they also consume significantly less dynamic power than complex load and store operations.

Intel® APX adds conditional forms of load, store, and compare/test instructions, and it also adds an option for the compiler to suppress the status flags writes of common instructions. These enhancements expand the applicability of if-conversion to much larger code regions, cutting down on the number of branches that may incur misprediction penalties. All these conditional ISA improvements are implemented via EVEX prefix extensions of existing legacy instructions.

I hope paramount knows the only reason I subscribe is to watch Star Trek content and if they don’t care about that audience it will be an immediate unsubscribe from me. The ST:P thing really rubbed me the wrong way, I didn’t even get to finish it.

Why is this so cursed lol

You are confused friend. Read this if you feel like it

Communism and socialism are big ass umbrellas that encompass many philosophies with a good amount of overlap. Sounds like you have more of a problem with central planning than with communism. So do a lot of communists

A conversation stopper if I’ve ever heard one

delete it please theres a lot of people asking to delete it please several people asking please delete it we beg you there are people feeling sick seeing this there are people crying delete it please delete it please people are feeling sick with this everyone’s asking you delete

Less gloss but still looks like a night club lol

The whole SNW version of Enterprise-1701 is soooo glossy and overlit it’s my only complaint really
