They work well enough, Google has just done a very shitty job with their AI. Quite the disappointment considering how innovative Google used to be. Now it’s all about maximum profits at minimum cost for them, and nothing else. Well, nothing else except racism.

Yes, she’s one of the main characters. She has a pretty interesting storyline throughout the show.

I watched Picard too, based on the advice of a friend. It started out seeming pretty promising, and just kept getting worse, all the way to the end.

It’s not actually Star Trek, but the Orville is the best Trek that has been made since DS9. It starts pretty campy and stupid, but it gets really good! They back off the jokes and goofiness, and start making an impactful show after a few episodes. I may have fast forwarded through parts of episode two, but I’m so glad that I stuck with the show. You sound like your tastes align with mine, and I highly advise watching The Orville, and giving it a chance to find its footing.

Personally I think TOS movies are better than TNG movies, or at least the even numbered ones are. TNG movies are just okay, despite the fact that I love TNG.

It absolutely is not. Everyone is snarky with a bad attitude. It leans way too heavily into pseudo-science magical explanations, and it does dumb stuff like showing Vulcans (who only mate once every 7 years) laying around and making out like a couple of teenagers.

I would start with TNG, then DS9, then it doesn’t really matter after that. All of the other shows pale in comparison IMO. Be aware that quality and entertainment value is significantly better after the first couple of seasons for both shows. It took me around 5 times to finally get into DS9, and I eventually just skipped season 1 and half of season 2.

Edit: TOS movies are pretty good. The evenly numbered ones are great, the odd numbered ones aren’t. But they’re almost all worth watching. The first one is a bit iffy. The second, 4th, and 6th movies are classic Trek and really fun.

Too bad! Stay in your lane, pinche government!

I seem to remember an episode where he turns into a raven on the concourse and leaves a pile of clothes behind.

If you’re doing really complicated stuff then you at least need to understand algebraic logic and concepts. You’ll also need to understand stuff like logarithmic scales for optimization. But it’s entirely possible to go years without using any math, especially as a website developer. I’m about as senior as you can get in the field, and I’ve only had one job for around 4 years where I used advanced mathematics on a regular basis. That’s 4 years out of a 25 year long career.

That said, a CS degree is going to require all of the math classes as part of the curriculum. My degree program involved fun classes such as finite mathematics, statistics, trig, etc… If you’re doing a program that requires advanced mathematics courses, for goodness sake do them all in a row!

TLDR: it depends entirely on the job. Jobs that are data intensive, with data manipulation, hardware interfacing, and automation type jobs will require more math than jobs like making cool-ass interactive websites.

Edit: PS, I suck at math. I’ve always sucked at math. Yet I’m what most people consider an amazing engineer. Weeee!

Musk says a lot of stupid things.

Sorry bub, but you just wasted your time

Escape, :wq!

Escape enters command mode

: prompts the command

W = write

Q = quit

! forces it

You need to type i first to enter insert mode.

Ooh, good idea! We’ll just make breaking the law illegal. That’ll solve everything!

That website is complete trash. It won’t even scroll for me. It just shows the badge and that’s all. This is what happens when they’re constantly trying to enforce specific user actions rather than just building a working website.

The page won’t scroll for me. It’s just the badge and that’s it.

Angular still exists?

Unfortunately I don’t. Have you spent any time working in the web sphere? There are a lot of jobs for back-end website developers.

Getting into development is hard, because there are so many bottom-tier engineers that’ll undercut your efforts, but once you get established it gets a lot better. I struggled to find work for years until I finally had a lucky break. I don’t have any immediate solutions for you, but I encourage you to stick with it, even if you have to shift focus a little. It can pay off big time in the end. Best of luck, friend.

Edit: working on some personal projects and creating a great portfolio can really help you stand out from the competition. When I was getting established I constantly bid on jobs above my skill level for less money than I deserved, just to get the experience and portfolio item. In the end that worked out well for me.

Start applying for jobs in the US. Or if you can swing it, get your visa and come here. Most of my coworkers are Indian, and they’re making bank.
