I’ve had the impression that in the Mirror Universe, it was only the humans/terrans which behaved differently. Everyone else we see seems like their usual selves (accounting for different circumstances of course).
The DS9 episodes throw a wrench in this of course, with Kira being a very different person and the oppressed terrans being sympathetic.
In regard to the Breen, I would note that Star Trek Adventures: Klingon Core Rulebook says “They only present themselves to non-Breen in full-body suits that hide their identities, and their bodies disintegrate when they die while wearing those suits. While this is an admirable trait – it means Breen cannot be taken prisoner, an attitude in line with the teachings of Kahless – it has made it impossible to determine the true face of the Breen.” This is a pretty cool explanation for how Worf could be right even after Kira and Dukat stole their suits.
I know STA isn’t canon but I still like this reasoning.
This is the second Star Trek season premiere that features the destruction of a Soong-type android, after Picard S1E1 “Rememberance” introduced and murdered Dahj.
There are a whole lot of “templating” libraries which do what you’re asking for. I have used Hiccup for Clojure and Giraffe for F# successfully, and you can probably find others for languages you already know.
Good to know! I’ve been using local testing and fortunately haven’t run into a case where the tests pass local and fail on their servers. Yet.
My most intense solution so far had been a very multi-core Knapsack solution. The tests they provided are pretty minuscule, which probably helped.
I block meme communities and AI art. I’ll unblock AI art once the machines figure out how fingers work. I don’t block porn except when it’s outside of my interests (I’m not into men or furries, for example).
You might consider unblocking the meta communities - it can sometimes be illuminating to see how other places are run, and give you ideas to improve your own instance.
Cryptonomicon. Neal Stephenson has written interesting, compelling books - Snow Crash is fun and breezy; Anathem is among my favorite novels - but Cryptonomicon just doesn’t hold my attention. Lots of smart people love it, so I always have this nagging feeling that I’m the one in the wrong here.
We don’t have downvotes on my instance, and it’s an amazing difference. I recommend it!
I generally just upvote everything I like, no real thought process involved.
As someone who routinely watches YT through Invidious and NewPipe, I haven’t changed my habits.
The Electoral College.
I’m not into feet specifically, but when I ask for “Veronica Mars in a string bikini” I don’t want to get “Veronica Mars with unattached toes.” It’s distracting AF.
Doesn’t happen with real models, or even human-made hentai.
The tech isn’t there yet. There are so often distracting flaws around the hands/feet. The AI doesn’t really know what a human is, its just endlessly re-combining existing material.
My lifehack: block every community with “memes” in its name. You’ll see far fewer memes in general, and be less aggravated when one does show up!
“it is developed just to be finished as quickly as possible and that’s it” You answered your own question.
In my experience, there are projects and workplaces where readable, maintainable code is expected and encouraged. Even in mobile development. You’ll find a place that appreciates your approach to coding, over time.
No mod capability, or at least not that I’m aware of. But it does run on Android! https://f-droid.org/packages/me.thanel.dank/
I use Dawn. It still works!
Breakups suck, and there’s no shortcut to getting through them.
Time will help you heal. You will go through the morning cycle - look it up, if you need a refresher - and the end of the cycle is “acceptance”. Look forward to it!
It’s more “which came first, the chicken or the chicken egg”. It’s a useful phrase to describe a situation where two things necessarily depend on each other. Chickens must come from chicken eggs, and chicken eggs must come from chickens, and one had to precede the other.
(In the actual case of chickens, it can be resolved easily - by defining “chicken egg” as either an egg laid by a chicken or an egg which contains a chicken, you will obviously and quickly draw a conclusion.)
Voyager S1E3, “Parallax”. It didn’t make much of an impression on me as a kid, but watching again recently - and knowing the direction that the characters grow - it’s actually a pretty compelling character-based drama. And the Maqui-Federation tension is thick here.
