I was amazed they found a way to make him *worse* in the sequel.

Er, one of the *best* :P

It *still* has one of the space battles on film (and Rogue One is also up there, the best thing about that movie really).

The Khan is wise.

Same. I remember seeing it on my birthday when it came out, made it stick in my mind more than most.

"You can't go home again. But I guess you can shop there."

The “google is using your email to train AI” debacle is imo most instructively seen as tracer dye for multiple failures: many people are instinctively skeptical of tech companies now; and many outlets that should have had experts able to cogently weigh in and go “wait a minute” simply don’t anymore.

I mean, whatever you think the purpose of a code review is, if you are upset people are actually taking the time to review code, why are you bothering to require them? Whether they are ostensibly for knowledge sharing or big detection, it doesn't matter which.

Thanks to @electrondance.com for lending his voice and also doing the best writing on puzzle games that the Earth has ever known

Yessss...putting this in my queue for the weekend. Can't wait!

What is the point of a code review if you are not reviewing code? Just let people ship it if that's what you want, Jesus Christ.

I am not saying you are the main character here, but...I can see some parallels :)

Me seeing you say this after seeing the next two episodes:

I mean...if Steam Machines finally come out next year that is technically Linux on a desktop...

Didn't have "The Eye is back atop Barad-dur" on my list for this year, but sounds about right.

For sure, but I suspect there is a lot of internal discord between people as pissed at him and Jefferies as the rest of us and people who want to play nice with Nazis.

Currently stuck downstate being disappointed my house probably has a foot of snow. :(

I received this email about Democrats caving to end the shutdown from one of the SNAP recipients I spoke to:

I cannot express how angry this makes me. He isn't even running for reelection. What the fuck is he doing?

I mean, lots of things are a rare delicacy when you have to pay ridiculous shipping rates from another solar system...

This *is* the plot of one of the campaigns in the Tie Fighter game. Of course, you are flying under VADM Thrawn to stop it there....

Not sure about EFNY, but their BTILC commentary is an all-timer.

Chia tried to do the same thing in their Civ game. You can't show weakness in a strategy game!

More likely explanation is that *he* needs the reminder it is his office...

I guess -- but if it is something that can be answered with a straightforward reference, I don't think you need AI for that (though maybe with the decline of Google's results quality, that has changed). For more complicated questions...I would really want that context.

I cannot imagine ever telling someone this. What the fuck? The AI isn't going to have any of the context that you bring to that kind of conversation, which is the most important part!

I think this series has already proven there can be a lot more than one inning to go....

Feds say immigration blitz will continue amid Halloween festivities Families and city leaders are scrambling to make Halloween and the Day of the Dead celebrations safe for children caught up in the debate over aggressive immigration raids.
