It was very much a product of its time. It was alright.

Same. When my dad turned retirement age I would make absolutely sure every waiter and cashier knew he was a senior. I’d loudly ask if his senior discount had been applied. Ah, the sweetest of petty revenges.

(Karmic backlash: my kid has always been tall and strong for his age. I lost out on years worth of “kids for free” discounts. The ONE time I tried to eek him under an age limit he quite expertly shut down any shenanigans by stating his birth date, age to the day, and a proclamation that he would be ordering from the non-kid menu anyway, so it didn’t matter. He had just turned 6.)

It’s probably very easy to paint minis with two thumbs and five fingers per hand

Oh for sure, and some of those are not ok with swapping the interpreter out 🤣

It is, and it’s a valid complaint. Go and Rust have handled it differently than Python or JavaScript, and all of them have their faults and bonuses.

It’s a load bearing S.

Data was artificial and autonomous. The Dr originally wasn’t autonomous, it could be argued he’s just part of the ship, but the holo emitter changed that. I’m amazed the Daystrom institute let him keep it, but since it’s apparently his, and that makes him autonomous, I would argue he’s just like Data (minus the permanent corporeality of course). I suppose there’s a question about ownership given his origins as a Starfleet asset, but since he can be replaced with a copy of the original program, there’s no real material loss in letting him leave the ship.

Their greatest mistake was not naming it Ouroboros.

Implement doesn’t mean “manifest from the aether with zero work”. It means do every step until it’s done. This is like step 5 of a lot.

Makes perfect sense, thanks!

They started at Java’s build system and set a course for Hell.

I think the owners probably know this, but If they have the means to spoil the ever living shit out of their dog, more power to them. I’d feed my dog snack steaks if I could.

I wonder if the frozen-ness is actually good for them or not. I can’t imagine a dog turning its nose up at unfrozen meat.

It blows my mind that the greatest trick Valve ever pulled was releasing a console that relies solely on backwards compatibility. There are zero games released for the steam deck.

I’m only commenting because the actual python is practically pseudo code:

# A turtle class
class Turtle:
    shell=True

# A boss class
class Boss:
    authority=True

#A class that inherits from another
class TigerTurtle(Turtle):
    fuzzy=True

# Multiple inheritance, or "The Devil's Playground"
class TigerBossTurtle(TigerTurtle, Boss):
    #  shell, authority, and fuzzy are all true
    ...

Have you considered multiple inheritance. It’s an upgrade. All upside, literally no downside. I’m trustworthy. Trust me.

Well, they’re a private company so it’s not reported. 8 Billion seems to be the consensus on guesses though. I believe the estimates put starlink revenue at roughly 3 billion.

1. You’re postulating that nearly 100% of their 2023 revenue was government grants, which is false.

2. I said a nationalized space x would BE a self sufficient NASA, because space X gets paid to provide services. Though I suppose a government run space delivery company might be more USSPS than NASA

I think I heard “Nationalize SpaceX” just now, and I have no complaints. Self funded NASA might get things done.

Mangrove Wet sounds especially abysmal.
