/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

This made me laugh way too goddamn hard.

"Kelvins" just feels wrong, but apparently is correct? (looking it up, seems like it's right) It still feels the same as if you'd say "200 Fahrenheits" or "140 Celciuses".

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

1 degree, 2 degrees. 1 kelvin, 2 kelvins

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Celsius and Fahrenheit are both degrees units, meaning they're scaled off of some arbitrary temperature. 20°C means 20 Celsius units away from Celsius 0.

Kelvin isn't scaled. 0 Kelvin means there's no temperature energy at all. So there's no need to couch it in degrees, since it isn't arbitrary but a defined scale with an absolute zero point.

I always assumed it was like Fish. No change in the plural.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

No change necessary, but fishes is a perfectly acceptable and correct plural of fish, and so much more fun to say!

I'm a big fan of mooses. I think they're large enough to deserve the extra letters.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

I prefer "meese", myself

Okay, this actually make me cackle like a buffoon.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

This should be the premise of an actual episode

The two most memorable Trek comics in one thread.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

I thought this was the most memorable:

God I miss Tumble Dry comics. I understand he wanted to be more with his life than just "funny weed man" but fuck if he didn't make some of the most legendary stoner comics of all time.

If TNGs computer were as dumb as ChatGPT.

Thankfully they only let ChatGPT run the hollodecks... Which explains why they're always glitching out!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

What prompt do I have to say to ChatGPT to get Moriarty?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago

The original prompt was create an opponent capable of defeating Data.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I have said it before but I'll say it again: be careful who you give root/superuser permissions to:-).

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Heed this warning. I gave them to myself and it did not end well.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Fuck yeah. We are often our own worst enemies. Especially you:-).

This, folks, is why global definition of variables can lead to your untimely demise.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah you gotta scope dat shit.

No way the Ent-D rolled off the line with global vars for everything, was this before or after O'Brien transferred off the ship?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Crusher is in a shuttle, so the scope of that "hot" is more than just Ent-D. She might have accidentally destroyed the federation with that definition.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)
def hot(temp: int = 340):
    return temp

That way Bev can define temp however she needs, but if Picard doesn't specify, he gets his tea at a nice drinkable Kelvin temp.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

If you're just going to define a variable and then return it there's no reason to do it in a function.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Shouldn't that be a float?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Python is dynamically typed, so you could just go against the type hint like an animal. But yes, probably.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago

If you want to write Python like a caveman, then sure

Exactly what I bring up when argumentative people show up with any of the inane food definitions "hot dog is sandwich" or "milkshake is soup" and what not.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Hot dog is taco.

"Pizza is an open-face sandwich" ~Madlad Lemmyor (lemmyite? Lemm? Lemmor? Just what do we call users of Lemmy anyways???) from a couple weeks ago

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Calzones are just folded pizzas.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I see "Lemmings" a lot and fairly like that

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Or "Fedizens" if we want to be inclusive of other members of the Fediverse, like Mbin, Piefed, Tesseract (well, technically that's just a GUI for Lemmy iirc), and soon Sublinks.

But it does seem less playful than Lemmings:-P.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Fedizens is fun. Being citizens of the free and open.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

And I do prefer being inclusive whenever possible:-).

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

I remember this episode of Jimmy neutron
