Best way to handle a replicator is a semi-auto shotgun

So if it had been popular would it have continued? Serious question, because it sounds like they weren’t going to continue SFA after season 2 in the first place.

Okay. Still doesn’t explain why they’d announce this now.

The fact that this is happening now and not at the end of season 2 implies studio shenaniganary and not listening to some dumb chuds.

Why would they sabotage viewership for season 2 instead of canceling it outright? Or at a minimum just dump the rest of it now?

My gut says it’s virtue signaling by management to the Ellison who’s gonna run the place in the not too distant future. Canceling the “woke” trek sounds like something sufficiently sycophantic for a Hollywood exec.

The worst part is now the chuds are taking a victory lap.

Not him specifically but that management pattern broadly over the entertainment industry. There’s The Showrunner and they’re supposed to control multiple films and series. I bet it’s exhausting and that’s why later stuff just isn’t as good.

By giving more people more freedom we’ll get more stories from more perspectives with different takes, instead of a corporate monoculture.

This is a pattern that happens every time control is decentralized, across social groups, so I’m pretty sure it’ll work.

They should give a bunch of creators a couple million dollars each to write new stories in the Trek universe, whichever one.

All of life is over-administered, and having one creative brain behind entire IPs is a limiting factor to creativity.

TIL where NuTrek came from

Just needed a little bit of patience and a whole lotta Google Translate

Thanks now I’m having flashbacks

If you think German C is bad imagine Czech PHP.

Had to refactor an entire custom Magento plugin written in it.

As someone who sits in on those calls as a sales engineer, I wish I could interrupt the weird kabuki dance of all this and say “These guys are clearly not a fit and we are all wasting time.”

But I have bills and honestly I’m probably commenting here because I checked out as soon as the screenshare started and I could turn my camera off without anyone noticing.

Please don’t ask me anything because I’ll just say you broke up and I need you to repeat the question so I can bullshit an answer.

A CIA-endorsed tactic for fighting fascism is calling a lot of pointless meetings.

Struggle requires sacrifice.

Usually it’s to help a customer create a proof of concept going so we can make a sale so it’s not entirely a selfless act.

Plus it keeps me from sitting on hours-long calls trying to walk them through ambiguous instructions.

I structure my tutorial docs (I write a lot of them for work) like the O’Reilly cookbook series for this reason.

The problem you’re trying to solve is at the top. Next comes a list of prerequisites for the instructions. Then clear, step-by-step instructions with no more than one command or action for each one, highlighting anything that’s different depending on environment.

Then at the bottom I’ll sometimes add a discussion of why each command does what it does, and finally a list of resources for whatever programs or systems the instructions are about.

I was thinking more like the legendary Bill Atkinson

Ultimate dev: Removes 2,000 lines of code, works an order of magnitude faster.

I’ve worked in enterprise software the better part of a decade and if there were security concerns about container escapes they wouldn’t be so widely used.

Clearly the greatest form of government ever devised by men and not some stupid continuation of the Roman judicial system.

And the best part is the Ruby way accounts for leap years.
