I actually had a concept for a fantasy world, where magicians craft spells much the same way software devs do. So you make your spell and publish it to the ether, and then anyone can invoke it using the magic word (package name), assuming the have the right dependencies available (eye of newt or whatever). But spells might have bugs. So if you used eye of red newt while the spell smith built it with the expectation you had eye of blue newt you might get unintended consequences
The demons are attracted to doorways, passages between spaces, worlds, and realms. And printers are the ultimate doorway: a portal through which ideas and concepts can leave the software realm and enter the physical
Relavent article: How one programmer broke the internet by deleting a tiny piece of code
This summary is terrible and misses basically all of the context. I encourage anyone interested to just read the article (it’s like a 2 minute read) and not this comment
Who doesn’t use arrow functions?
Ah, ok interesting take on that. I see your point
Yeah saying Apple is anti-privacy is like… what? Compared to who? Apple is consistently fighting against meta and google (and governments) in favour of user privacy
Voyager had the captain proton episodes which are tremendously silly as well
I’m fairly certain there was a throwaway line from Scotty about how he tweaked something to keep the buffer running for so long

The sheer volume of internal space available on the Ent-D is so gigantically enormous that every single one of the 1000 crew could have 10-room apartments and still have room to spare
Even if that were the case and the Cayuga is a flying legal-aid clinic it doesn’t make much sense to put the lawyer in charge. You’d have a regular command officer trained to fly spaceships running the ship, and Batel would be like the chief counsel or whatever aboard. But they also did it weird with Crusher too when they made her the captain of a hospital ship. Again, you’d have a ship-captain-type-person flying the thing, and a doctor in charge of the doctoring
Everyone knows that ship captains are the best lawyers. That’s why starfleet keeps using them as attorneys in all their trials
Not just the hotel, but enough to bribe two separate border officers to let them cross the border the day after a terrorist attack
Seems to me that they are merging the eugenics wars and wwiii together in canon. Maybe the eugenics wars are the catalyst for wwiii or something like that?

It was a hand-wavy reason to explain how they got across the border, but then they had to do it the other way too. I’m pretty sure bribing two different border officers the day after an incident of international terrorism is not that easy. I don’t care how good Kirk is at chess, you can’t raise the kinds of funds needed to do that by betting on games for an afternoon
Also, how did they get a fancy hotel room? Even if you’re paying in cash you need a credit card to secure the room (and ID)
Duplicating the key removes some accountability. With this set up you can revoke access to only one person, while leaving the access in place for everyone else. If you had a single lock with six copies then a bad actor getting a copy means you’d have to replace everyone else’s keys
This also means one person can’t take their lock off and replace it with another, and therefore lock out everyone else
Just remember how badly it went when Troi was in charge of the enterprise… she crashed it into a planet
