I particularly liked the way ENT spaced out its story arcs as a series of episodes which can stand alone but hit on a recurring conflict across multiple seasons, season 3 as the glaring exception.

If you all work harder we’ll be able to fire you and increase my bonus!

Lower Decks is great but best saved for last so you get all the references they drop.
- Comment on Which shows are worth watching? 15 hours ago:
Isn’t “thought provoking“ is kinda the whole point of sci-fi?
All 3 series have plenty of those, as well as their share of dud episodes. DS9 leans heavier into stories of war/colonialism. VOY is more about survival in desperate circumstances.

Do you prefer story arcs or bottle episodes?
Optimistic or dark stories?

The universe is not the carcass of the bing bang, just as a tree is not the carcass of a seed.

I’ve been watching a lot of Cells at Work on Netflix. Neutrophil U-1146 is a good dude.

Could you please explain how a Lemmy thread is showing up in Mastodon? I use it too but never see Lemmy there.

Isn’t that just a Piefed photo stream?
I still don’t see any cross-app integration except simple linking.
- Comment on 4 days ago:
Can you be more specific? I don’t see anything.
- Comment on 4 days ago:
I guess it’s cool that you can if you want, but if I’m searching Mastodon I want content on Mastodon, not Lemmy and vice versa.
I still don’t see the point.
- Comment on 4 days ago:
You’re not the first to suggest it, but I still haven’t seen anyone do more than linking one from the other. This feels as inconsequential as posting a Twitter screenshot on Reddit. Is there a deeper integration possible?
- Comment on 4 days ago:
Communities are for Lemmy and hashtags are for Mastodon.
They each make sense in their proper context.
- Comment on Henry Symeonis 4 days ago:
In 1242 he and a number of other men of the town of Oxford were found guilty of murdering a student of the University. Henry and his accomplices were fined £80 by King Henry III in May 1242 and were made to leave Oxford
Seems he later paid off the king for forgiveness, but the faculty was not so forgiving.

This size meteor would destroy a city but not have lasting planet-scale effects. Think Tonguska event.

- Comment on [PSA] Lemmy account deletion is a mess 1 week ago:
My point is how could you ever count on deletion when the content is being federated?
Even if Lemmy devs made account deletion easy and cascade deletes your content, all it takes is one server run by an archivist and that content is never going away.
It seems inherently unfixable in a federated system, like trying to unsend an email.
- Comment on [PSA] Lemmy account deletion is a mess 1 week ago:
Nothing is ever really deleted on the internet, especially if it was automatically replicated to dozens of other servers.
- Comment on What happened to Pez? 2 weeks ago:
Pez are only like 20% character. FunkoPops can be more expressive because they don’t need to dispense candy.

MD always felt like a ripoff to me because you had to buy a bunch of overpriced disks from the sole supplier and then carry them all around in a little wallet.
As soon as the first hard drive MP3 players like the Rio came out, MD was a dead end.

Trolling aside, if the winner sets up SSL certs they could probably phish some reused passwords from HexBear users trying to login.
- Comment on A young computer scientist and two colleagues show that searches within data structures called hash tables can be much faster than previously deemed possible. 2 weeks ago:
The article is discussing how to reduce the constant time factor which depends on the filling fraction, which is a speed-memory tradeoff when creating the hash table.
The innovation described allows for the use of fuller tables which are resized less frequently, or faster insertion/retrieval for the existing filling fraction.

Don’t talk about Melania like that.
- Comment on A young computer scientist and two colleagues show that searches within data structures called hash tables can be much faster than previously deemed possible. 2 weeks ago:
In the article, x is not the size of the hash table, it is the inverse of the table’s filling fraction. A 1000-element table that is 90% full has x=10, N=1000.
Since they’re not discussing scaling of data sizes, would be confusing to use O(N) notation or people would make that assumption.
