I used to have trust in the peer review process, thinking this is why it takes months or years for a paper to get published. Are you telling me it’s not real?

It also starts disappearing from Amazon around season 3… if we’re talking Lower Decks.

After watching Lower Decks for 3 seasons and going back to TOS, I’m thinking about watching some of the middle entries. What are some of the meaningful differences between them. In other words: What should I watch?

Why the fuck would they name it PRISM?

I didn’t know there was a comic series. I guess I’ll read that since Amazon pulled their animated series off of Prime.

We cannot stop collecting data about you because collecting the datum that you want to stop having your data collected failed.

I wonder if the situation in Europe is different, where such bullshit is illegal.

no man ask for.

That’s pressure.

Or – just a thought – you’re reasonably confident that the shit you wrote actually works.

You vastly underestimate the tolerance of an average user who barely knows their way around a web browser and Word.

Another succinct quote: “The brain learns during the breaks.” Repeating the same thing uninterrupted in order to learn it won’t help.

Second-hand physical books often cost 3,01€, where 3,00€ are shipping. That’s no match for digitals. Also I hate handheld devices that can’t take a beating (looking at you, smartphone). I’m clumsy. I drop things. Books survive that. E-readers… I don’t wanna test.

Also, for whatever reason, I read physical books more carefully than text on screen.

That’s when you set the intern’s IDE to preserve the line endings.

It’s not about feeling better. It’s about getting the other person to understand that Google exists and that they can use it, too. Too many people refuse to put in any effort of their own and go ask someone instead.

IMHO in that situation answering isn’t even the right thing to do, since it encourages that behaviour and prevents the asker from learning to find out stuff for themselves. Something about fishing for hungry people or so…

When someone is genuinely stuck, doing research themselves allows the answerer not to go down the same dead ends, which saves time for both.

You cannot even mark it as duplicate without providing a link to the answer. What are you talking about?

Peple misunderstand “Closed as duplicate” as an insult, when it’s just the hint to look at the provided link. If you didn’t find the answer previously, this just means there are multiple ways to express the problem, which use different words and thus don’t all find the same google result.

Sure you can write foo = 3 in JavaScript. It’s a global variable and can be referenced as either foo or window.foo.

For those who don’t know: It’s basically an Age of Empires clone.

When the industry “overhires” how come games are always shipped with 3/4 of the promised features and buggy as hell?

maximising profit is not why we grant them copyright

That’s the only reason copyright exists. Because society decided that if you’re the one to put work into developing something, you should be the one reaping the profits, at least for some time.
