Yes.

The purpose of technology is to improve our lives, help us overcome problems or disabilities, and make our world better.

Instead we have allowed a small group of sociopaths to turn that on its head. We now work to produce “content” for LLMs to slurp up for the purpose of creating more bullshit.

Present and accounted for!

That’s the funny part. You don’t.

And he’s a lot less likely to be a regular smoker. That will age you.

Oh, I agree. I just think having more age appropriate choices for other characters would have been nice too.

Spock and Uhura seem to be roughly the right ages for the time the show is set. But Kirk is too old (the actor hides it well, lucky bastard) and Scotty far too young.

And McCoy makes no sense if cast too young given the nature of his personality, relationship to Kirk, etc. So, like you, I would prefer to go older as opposed to too young, like they did with Scotty.

I think it’s the inconsistency that bugs me.

Scotty should be too though.

In TOS, he’s clearly 10 years older than Kirk. In SNW it looks like it’s the opposite!

And, to the extent that age of the actor implies the age of the character, Kelly and Doohan were about the same age.

Yeah, that’s what I was thinking. He always looked a bit awkward in the TNG uniform. But looked very natural in the early DS9 uniform.

The production explanation is probably just that non-main characters got uniforms that fit “well enough” and not one specifically made for them.

I agree about the tone… but I also think Trek is often at its best when it’s not taking itself too seriously.

There is a line though.

Amen…

Star Trek interfaces are great…. If the tech is there to back them up.

In this case… not so much.

Thanks!

Where might I find a list of languages/LSPs that Kate supports and will load automatically like that?

Ah, white collar haiku…

Yep, I’ve had times where the debugger was hiding the race condition that was the actual cause of my problem.

This right here. Time and place for both.

You want the monitor to be firm, but give a little in your hands when you squeeze. Too much squish though? That’s no good. That monitor is overripe.

I agree. This whole project deserves a good bit of skepticism, on political, social, and technical grounds.

Yeah, that’s what it was. The software was going to be deployed to a range of aircraft of various ages and the oldest ones only supported Java 8.
