It's pretty sweet and the bubbles are starchy I think (tapioca?), but not an expert.
Remember, there was a huge pent-up demand for a new Star Trek TV series when TNG came out. To the degree that many, myself included, were willing to overlook a rather uneven Season One.

I assume that's been less the case for the newer Star Trek universe series. I don't actually know the numbers but the TV landscape is too different to really compare anyway.

Added: As someone who remembers watching TNG when it first came out, my recollection is that the reaction to "Encounter at Farpoint" (S1E1) was along the lines of a bit disappointing but certainly has promise. And it's new Star Trek on TV!

So true. I don't get why American TV shows always need to be ran to the ground.

Like Two and a Half Men and The Big Bang Theory are shows that should've gone past their 8th season. The Office should've never had those abysmal last two-three seasons. That '70s show should've never had those abysmal last three seasons.

I always like it when creators and producers recognize when a show has run its course. This is why we have good memories of Seinfeld. Jerry Seinfeld stood to make something crazy like 5 million per episode if they had done a 10th season but he knew the show had run its course and ended it on a high note (something, btw, that was a plot point on an earlier episode).

Same with Breaking Bad, they knew that they had a story to tell and that it didn't need to drag on and they delivered some of the finest 5 seasons of television drama that one could ever ask for.

Once you get about half an inch to three quarters of an inch, the steel creates an oxide layer that protects the material underneath. You can look at ship wrecks all over the world from a hundred years ago, the steel for the steam boiler is usually the last to go.

The steel cables holding up the suspension bridge Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco (87 years old), clouded in fog and arguably one of the harsher saltwater environments (near-constant 20mph winds 8 months out of the year) is still using it's original steel cables, and there are no plans to replace them.
Thank you!

> It's intimidating for someone like myself who is self taught with no CS degree or formal training.

I know what you mean. I don't have a formal training or CS degree either. :)

And I know how scary and complex it can look, but in the end it's not that much harder compared to JavaScript or Web development. It's just different, but just as fun, and my goal here is to show that it doesn't have to be intimidating!
> 3) Installers aren't as bad as package managers but are still overly complex and cause problems. Applications should be single files or directories that can be moved or copied anywhere you want. Numerous OSs had applications work this way by convention and it is also how AppImage works.

I do like this. The only thing that concerns me is disk space (which isn't really that big a deal at this point) and things like crypto libraries. With the crypto libraries, what happens when the statically compiled package has an out of date library/how do you recover without having to upgrade every program individually? (This is a serious question, I'm not trying to be rude. I'm sorry if I come off that way.)

You don't need an account to use the Microsoft Store, they nag you about login in, but you can click cancel and the app will still install.
Your mileage may vary - I've got plenty of Amazon support staff blatantly telling me I've got no consumer rights (both national and EU) "because Amazon rules", no matter how high you try to escalate it.
>This is more about Netflix throwing shows against the wall so fast they never get to see if any of them stick

If they're good enough it will stick. See stranger things, house of cards, and orange is the new black for examples. The problem is that Netflix isn't very good at picking winners. They pay way more than anyone else for content and the results aren't there.
I think you just stopped watching as many major network shows, as a quick look at NBC's current lineup still shows 15+ episode seasons is the norm.
Thanks. Cunningham's Law in action.

It's nonetheless interesting to see the scale of these. You can see them off the coast of Kent quite easily, but there's no perspective for the size.
Apparently that is the case. I've not watched the US version, but I was jokingly referring to the most common axis of comparison that parent post falls along that I've experienced.
The second season of Altered Carbon felt really rushed. Which seems to be an issue with several shows, like "oh crap it became really popular we need another season ASAP". Which almost invariably leads to a weak followup.

I thought the most important fuel of the Dutch golden age was peat, not wind. The first really fossil-fuelled economy. (You can see evidence of it flying over, marshy areas where this was strip-mined, I mean strips the size you could load onto a barge & deliver to town.)

Edit -- I can't find a great source, but [1] has some figures, putting peat somewhere over 100x as much energy as wind, 17thC.

But of course heat energy and mechanical energy were two separate categories then, before steam engines, so it's not easy to compare. He tries to estimate equivalent land areas required to either grow wood (for heat) or feed horses (mechanical) and seem to reach comparable figures. (Which together are a bit less than the figure for horse-area saved by sailing, instead of carts. For which NL was also ideal, of course.)

I guess the more interesting, and harder, question is the degree to which each of these enabled economic progress. Sawing wood for ships, vs. baking pottery & bricks. Certainly the easy peat more or less ran out, about the same time that the UK got serious about coal.

Interesting, I thought the SNES was much better due to its use of sampled sounds which sounded more naturally. It holds up amazingly well still today. I always thought the MegaDrive sounded plasticky and tacky, but it might very well be just because I grew up with a SNES.
Outside of "convenience" they're attractive for the flexible routing and parameterization. I can only realistically deploy 4 tube screamers and a handful of delays before someone notices they're all set almost exactly the same way. I'd love to replace the combinatorics with presets, and although MIDI routing is an option, it sure would be nice if a compact reliable digital solution sounded good.

So that's why I want it to be good... But it's not.
Getting past Gatekeeper on macOS is roughly the cost of a $100/yr developer program certificate and rigging up notarization support into your build pipeline. SmartScreen is way worse - from the grumblings I've heard it basically doesn't care all that much about code signing. Even if it did, code signing on Windows is more expensive than it is on macOS. There's constant reports of Free Software developers of niche software packages getting their new releases stopped by SmartScreen and then Microsoft manually approving it. It runs on some fuzzy logic/ML nonsense so even Microsoft themselves doesn't entirely know why SmartScreen is constantly flagging Free Software developers.
How to Get Users?
Many of us know how to right code to make a gread product, but what about getting users ?

I tried many startups, each one of them had a different marketing strategy. SEO, Ads (mostly facebook and google), friends and relatives, sales, etc..

What did you tried ? Did it work or not and why ? What should we have done differently ?
I struggled with TOS since I watched TNG/DS9/VOY first. But then I started to enjoy it. It is still enjoyable for those retrofuturistic vibes, reminds me very much of classics like Time Machine or Forbidden Planet.

Are you genuinely unable to see the difference between the two revenue models? I'm really not all that interested in absurd hypotheticals.

If I buy a Coke at my grocery store, Coke's getting some of that money. If I buy a Pepsi, Coke gets none of that. I can boycott specific companies while still buying groceries, and again, opting out of food is an issue.

If Rogan were an optional premium paid add-on channel on Spotify, the two would be far more comparable.
If you read what I wrote, you would have noticed that I said a vaccine (which, for most people qualifies as “medical intervention”) does make a difference.

New Zealand can only maintain being infection free by remaining disconnected. This is not a long term solution. If they are lucky, they’ll be able to maintain it until an effective vaccine is widely available.

If one is never available then they will only be able to maintain it by total disconnection from the world, even if the rest of the world has herd immunity. Which would probably be much more harmful economically in the long term than the virus would.

What I am saying, is without cure or vaccine there is no long term feasible solution other than to get it, and that would only change distribution of disease outcomes over time (to first order)

Also the 70-90% is based on assumptions that do not bear out in practice, as they ignore T-cell and cross reactivity which are known to have an affect. (I do not know of a reliable estimation, but when one is figured out it can easily be in the 20%-50% range)

The relationship between individual turbine capacity and the total power generation of a given area of land/sea is quite complicated. Bigger turbines don't get you as much additional power output as you might initially think because they have to be spaced out more. This is described in detail here:
http://www.withouthotair.com/cB/page_263.shtml

(Of course, there's lots of space out to sea and larger turbines may be more economically viable)

Agreed. I used a bit of lazy maths to make the numbers match to give a simple illustration. I suspect we'll have more than 5 million vehicles charging daily, and overnight, given that there's almost 30 million registered vehicles right now. And there's also 22kW chargers as well.

And year-on-year, everyone uses more electricity. Definitely interesting times ahead.
The other thing going on that probably affects some of these complex serialized shows is the Internet/Web. I suspect a lot of people would drop out of some of these shows that you almost have to watch each episode carefully twice in order to understand what's going on. Recaps and discussion boards make some of these shows more enjoyable and comprehensible IMO.
If I understood well I would say that id depend on the medium. If I'm asking a question by email I expecte to have an answer in 2/3 days. But if it's a chat (specially a chat box) I expect it to be in a matter of minutes. The same for IRL, if it's letter I dont mind waiting weeks but in a line a few minutes..

I don't think it should be online/offline but more about the situation and the medium
Out of curiosity, what does this look like on the creation end? Is it, a GUI edited scene with shader graphs? Custom C++? Some scripting? All of the above?
As a tech lead too, I think getting a share of your company and be more involve for marketing side and success as a team should be a good answer.

Or you can try to work on the architecture and security of the code, which is more a strategic way of software.

> Well one thing is a "pause" in production

I'm confused, what are you referring to here?

The Original Series ended in 1969. It was truly dead. But the fans kept it "alive" for a decade. Its popularity rose through reruns, conventions, etc. The Motion Picture was released in 1979, followed by The Wrath of Khan in 1982. The Next Generation started in 1987. These weren't pauses in production. The films never would have gotten made if not for the rabid fan base, and TNG would never have gotten made if not for the popularity of the films.
This is actually the exact opposite of what the LOST writers did. After season 1 or so, the show focused a lot more on relationships and the growth of its characters.

This ended up being the largest source of complaints about the show. Most of the original viewers watched it because they enjoyed the mysteries and cliffhangers and wanted them answered. However, the show moved completely away from that which led to so many of the complaints that the original questions were not being answered.

To recommend some good shows, Mr. Robot seemed to play out its episodes in a good amount of time (only had 4 seasons, 2 wasn't amazing but served its purpose). Another is Ozark, which has been pretty entertaining, and the show's Bateman has said the upcoming season 4 will be its last, so it's not going to be strung too long either.
1. for sure. I stopped watching anything that only has one season.
Looks very slick! What stack are you using?
I think the only show I've ever seen get revived and still come up with more good stuff is Futurama. And even as much as I loved it, when it ended for the last time, I was satisfied.

Otherwise I just don't get excited about "revivals" anymore.
So cryptocurrency is dead, right? After some brief interest around the middle 2010s, where some vendors actually did accept it, they seem to have all revoked their support for it. All that it seems to be used for now is scams, ransomware, and pump-and-dump schemes.

You have to watch TOS with your historical glasses on. And maybe skip the stinkier episodes unless you want to try to appreciate the camp.

I think length is not the right issue IMO.

Creatively, dramas should have a clear story to tell. If that is 1 hour, or 100 hours, that is ok. But stopping unexpectedly halfway through is bad.

An easy way for netflix to help is to say "every story on Netflix has an ending." Which has marketing value and still allows creative freedom, and actually would appeal to creators more.

In practice, this means "you can't tease a next season that has not been approved yet" OR "you can end on a cliffhanger and is show is authorized for a 1 hour wrap up episode of the next season is cancelled".
There was no FOMO because everyone was in quarantine too. A lot of times you were quarantined with your parents, so you have your family to support you.

In most systems, but notably not Linux, there is a separation between the "system" and "applications". Things that are part of the "system" are meant to be a reliable platform that anything can use. The platform provides UI, networking, crypto, compression, etc. libraries that are used by basically everything and the self-contained application need only supply its various libfoos that aren't part of the platform.

> Replicates the features in paid products

Depends on what paid products you are referring to, but (speaking only about quantitative analytics and not session-recordings, heatmaps) it doesn't seem to offer any user filters/segmenting. It is probably one of the best solution for personal blogs and sites, but if you have a site where you sell something you probably want to understand a bit better exactly which users are taking which actions on your site.
Netflix is becoming a graveyard of junk shows.

This is why, for the most part, I don't start watching streaming service exclusives until their sophomore season is complete and they haven't been cancelled.

Of course there are few exceptions like Cobra Kai or The Mandalorian where it's evident that the concept is pretty solid and that the show is bonafide hit from the first 10 minutes.

But yeah, like for every Netflix hit there's like 10 or more less than promising shows.

It's really becoming a graveyard. And when you realize that you can't even give them a shot because you know that even if they're decent there won't be any resolution or closure in the form of a series ending then it makes you not wanna even start to watch them.

Seriously, they should fund less shows but really make sure they're quality shows. They should act like HBO in short.

SingularityNET Enhancement Proposals – ‘SNEPs’
> 1) Installing software directly from the developer --along with being able to develop yourself-- is not only perfectly fine, it's what makes personal computing great.

Nobody's stopping you from that, not even SmartScreen. The issue is that close to 100% of all malware is installed by users and the critique has been that Microsoft is offering neither sufficient protection nor a safe(r) alternative.
SmartScreen and Windows Store - whatever your personal opinion about those might be - are completely optional ways to address this critique.

> 2) Package management is an over-engineered and inflexible solution that creates more problems than it solves.

All major *nix-based operating systems and their distributions seem to disagree with you on that; Most programming languages included.

> 3) Installers aren't as bad as package managers but are still overly complex and cause problems. Applications should be single files or directories that can be moved or copied anywhere you want. Numerous OSs had applications work this way by convention and it is also how AppImage works.

And that solves the security and trust issues how?

> 4) Application-level security should be applied by default and at the OS level. Mobile OSs got this (mostly) right.

Oh yeah, especially mobile OSes where every app wants full access to everything or just won't install/run. Pop-ups are just as bad because now you just train users to simply ignore them.

There is no silver bullet here, and SmartScreen isn't some "evil gatekeeper" that just exists to thwart independent software development. It's just an imperfect tool to address security and trust issues with random software packages downloaded from the internet.
The article doesn't mention it, but there is a long tradition of hesychastic prayer[0] in Christianity, starting with the desert Fathers, and continuing in the practice of the Jesus Prayer. Some teachings about the Jesus Prayer which emphasize the importance of breath also include serious warnings about the possibility of bodily harm if the prayer is not done correctly. While early practitioners likely saw this as God's judgement on the unrighteous, current practitioners better understand the physiological effects of breath work, and the potential dangers if done incorrectly.
