Eh? He basically collapses in his chair and has a little soliloquy about it.

Maybe if we mix in another metaphor, Agile will work.

Zelda usually doesn’t get kidnapped, though. She gets stuck in a refrigerator somewhere.

We go orders of magnitude faster than evolution on tons of things. It’s not that big of a claim.

You’re not doing yourself any favors with this reply.

You’re right that consciousness and intelligence are not the same. Our language tends to conflate the two.

However, evolution created consciousness over billions of years by emergent factors and no source of specific direction besides being more successful at reproduction. We can likely get there orders of magnitude faster than evolution could. The big problem would be recognizing it for what it is when it’s here.

I sorta forgot it existed.

They’re almost certainly using it as glue code. You have to go out of your way not to use Python for it.

Nah. If Go wasn’t backed by Google, nobody would give a shit. BEAM+Elixir has just as good mutithreading, and it doesn’t make a bunch of weird decisions just for the sake of being different from Java/C#/C++.

I took a glance at it a while back, and it looks like Elixir + Go. Meh. Elixir could use gradual typing (and it’s coming along there), but turning to Go isn’t the answer.

Did X-wing and TIE Fighter get Mark Hamill? No, they did not. Case closed.

It’s old, and therefore bad.

We really need a cultural change in this industry. Something that sits there doing its job for a decade+ with little to no change should be seen as a success.

Gates McFadden had issues with the producers behind the scenes. There’s a lot of he-said-she-said going on, but suffice it to say that she spent season 2 doing a Broadway production for $400/week.

It’d be nice to think Star Trek is above the usual Hollywood bullshit, but you read about stuff like this and the experience of Terry Farrel or Grace Lee Whitney, and it’s clear that it’s in the muck with the rest of them.

I dunno. Crusher wasn’t the most well developed character on the show, either before or after. Pulaski was starting to come around to being an interesting character towards the end of the season, but got cut off.

The fact that younger generations are picking it up suggest it’s not just nostalgia. It’s not someone who was there wishing things were still like their childhood. Something has downright broken in the games industry for this to happen.

Something like my generation (elder millennial) listening to Stairway and Dark Side of the Moon. The associated industry was not providing in modern times, so we looked back.

I don’t know about that. Frameworks like React or CSS toolkits have made things more consistent across browsers. Being rid of Internet Explorer helped, too. Things were way worse 15 years ago.

Now, making the browser into a quasi operating system might not have been a good idea, but that’s a different argument.

When using Summit, the hits against the server are GET /api/v3/post?id=2024 and GET /api/v3/comment/list?max_depth=6&post_id=2024&sort=Top&type_=All. From what I can tell, those are both Lemmy REST API calls. Not sure why it’s trying to call it that way.

Desktop link works fine on my instance.

That might be a contributing factor, but the main reason comes down to cost. Moore’s Law originally stated that the cost per integrated component would be cut in half every year. The timeframe was variously adjusted to 24 months or 18 months, but however you want to run the numbers, the cost has not kept up. Starting from the Intel 8008, we’re now a few orders of magnitude behind.

It’s weird. It works in my desktop browser, and on mobile when I copy the link into the browser. It does not work in my Lemmy mobile app (Summit). Not sure what’s going on there.

I see it click through:
