Enterprise doesn't deserve to be in that list. It may not have been everyone's cup of tea, but it's way closer to the other series than Discovery or Picard.

Also, uh, sibling sex and pro-slavery comments? I must have missed those episodes.

Connor Trineer (Trip) and Colm Meaney (O'Brien) playing villains too.

Generations is a fun movie, but I demand an edit where Picard uses the Nexus to go back and save his nephew from burning to death and then uses his foreknowledge to defeat Soren easily.

Why is it okay to go back to save millions of Veridians but not to save Remy and then the Veridians by extension? Either way you're messing with the timeline. Soren already won.

TIOBE is weighted toward languages that have existed for a long time by virtue of counting lines written / skilled engineers etc. but the speed at which Rust is climbing that list is a better indicator. Also, a lot of the languages above it wouldn't be appropriate for anything like a DE.

But you're right, it's hyped, I just think the hype is real.

I'm with you. It definitely didn't need to reference the older movies as much, deepfake Ian Holm was totally unnecessary, but for being a horror thriller I thought it kept up the tension pretty well. Not exactly high art, but definitely a good popcorn movie.

That trackpad was a game changer for playing KB+M games with a controller, but to be honest sometimes I really miss the right joystick. The trackpad can fake it, but it's not the same.

If they ever do another standalone controller I'd want it to be like a screen-less Deck. Both joysticks and trackpads and a couple more grips.

That's a fun thought experiment. Weird to think about Kirk's lines delivered in Shakespearean actor English instead of his iconic halting delivery.

That review is bullshit. It's not going to tax your machine, but that's a good thing. The unit type thing is also missing that not the entire game takes place on the battlefield, there's multiple layers to it and you almost never win through pure domination.

EDIT: Also, ground vehicles? This is Dune, you can't cross sand in a vehicle, and they couldn't go up cliffs. No, instead you airdrop, which is way more flexible.

Hello fellow ex-IBMer. I came to the corp from an open source background and I was happy that my LTC coworkers seemed to despise software parents despite the huge pressure from management.

I wonder how much of this is that IBM fell out of the patent lead and decided to just take their ball and go home. Or how much is RedHat influence shifting the mindset away from the patent Mexican standoff with everyone else.

I test drove a Leaf and honestly it felt bad brand new. I got range anxiety just taking it on the highway and back to the dealer.

So far, I think Tesla has a monopoly on practical EVs. Say what you will about the cars (or their leadership) but the charger network they built out and having ~150 miles of actual range is hard to beat in an existing product.

No, it didn't - I was exaggerating a bit. In the end it was a good plot point, I just find it really unlikely the alien scan would choose her unless he was majorly hung up.

It's hard for me to imagine Robin Williams' take on that character. I know he was a great actor and wouldn't necessarily be playing it as a comedian, but his energy is usually so manic compared to Frewer who did a great job being reserved and subtly manipulative.
