That was my takeaway as well. I just wish I had data for the other seasons. It’d be interesting to see how that might change the percentages as they are.

As for GEOGIOU, I’m reasonably sure that this refers to both versions of her.

Honestly, it’s 'cause I forgot to include it! I’ll see if I can add it tonight. Check back in 24hrs :-)

I like it, and I’d bet dollars to doughnuts that you’re talking about Discovery. I’ve said in the past that the show should be called “Star Trek: Michael Burnham” as it would at least be more honest.

To be fair, I think every series has a lot of episodes that would fail this test, some of which were excellent, like DS9’s “In the Pale Moonlight”, and “Far Beyond the Stars” or TNG’s “The Inner Light”, but if used to assess a series, I think this could be a good metric.

As someone who has used and loved Docker since 2015, but never used Podman, can you explain the difference and why I might want to make the switch?

Relevant.

Ah yeah, I remember a moment like that in DS9, where Sisko is lamenting the crew’s interest in a holosuite program set in the 50s because of how “our people” were treated back then. It always felt out of place for me, though DS9 is still my favourite Star Trek.

Can you give some examples of this? Admittedly I didn’t much care for Discovery and didn’t pay a lot of attention through it as a result, but I’m not picking up what you’re laying down ;-)

Honestly, this is so much better than those cases when the codebase is an absolute fucking nightmare are the senior dev doesn’t see it. Instead they gaslight you into thinking that this is actually best practice.

Honestly, after having served on a Very Large Project with Mypy everywhere, I can categorically say that I hate it. Types are great, type checking is great, but applying it to a language designed without types in mind is a recipe for pain.

Voyager: One Small Step

It’s one of my top ten favourites, but it’s also a very typical “one off” story.

Maybe I’m misunderstanding vulture. My impression was that it’s meant to be run in your CI, which would mean it’s only privy to code executed by your tests. If it actually attached to production sessions, then yeah that’s pretty handy.

If you ensure 100% test coverage, you don’t need this ;-)

My thoughts exactly. What I want is Poetry’s workflow and use of pyproject.toml baked into Python.

I’m afraid I’m not familiar enough to with the genre to speak about any particular category being good or bad, but I can give you an idea of what I like/hate.

For theatre, I loved Wicked. I saw it three times and would do it again. Hamilton was also brilliant but Les Miserables and Phantom of the Opera were really hard on my ears. I think it’s the whole “We need some dialogue here, but it’s a musical, so let’s have them sing it” that does it. If that’s your experience with musicals, believe me when I tell you, they aren’t all like that. Some are heart-shatteringly beautiful with complex harmonies and the sort of music that makes you feel like you can fly right out of that theatre. Wicked’s “Defying Gravity” still gives me chills when I think about it, and the way Hamilton is stitched together with callbacks between each song: “my shot”, “running out of time”, “wait for it”, “that would be enough”… it’s just amazing work.

There’s also an excellent off-broadway musical called “Evil Dead: The Musical” and it’s as bad-in-a-good-way-campy as you think. There’s zombies, a splatter zone, and some seriously smart & funny songs in there, including my favourite: “What the Fuck Was That?”. I mean, it’s not good music, but it’s fun :-)

But Cats… that was cancer for my ears. It was my first musical and nearly soured me on them entirely.

But it’s not just theatre! I love movie musicals too! Moulin Rouge’s Ewan McGreggor is just jaw-droppingly talented. The finalé (until the curtains close anyway) is punch-the-air-feel-amazing. Another good one is The Greatest Showman: not quite as amazeballs as Moulin Rouge, but surprisingly inspiring, and the duet between Zac Effron and Zendaya definitely has that “life is beautiful” feel to it. Also, “Never Enough” is great too. I also have a deep, deep love for Pitch Perfect.

Then there’s tv! The Buffy musical kinda started it all, and while it’s not nearly as musically complex as the aforementioned, it’s clever, funny, and 20 years later I can still hear it in my head. “I think this line’s mostly filler” was a nice touch. Since then though, there have been a number of attempts at musical episodes of favourite shows. Most recently, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds did a fantastic job with some right bangers. The reigning champion of course is Glee with some awesome stuff [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]

So yeah, it ranges. I’d recommend Wicked & Hamilton to anyone not sure if they can get into musicals, largely because they don’t do that “sing dialogue” thing that I think grates on a lot of people. After that, look for shows starring people you know to be awesome. Kristen Chenoweth for example is a guaranteed win for me. She is absolutely delightful on stage.

I haven’t! But I’ll check it out. I am however Very Excited about the new Wicked movie.

Yup. I’ve had more than a few people claim I had to “give up my man card” because I love musicals, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Sex in the City.

Excluding the obvious choice of Jeffrey Combs as… well anyone really, I’m rather fond of Andreas Katsulas, though I may be partial to him for his phenomenal role as G’Kar on Babylon 5.

“Yankees, in six games” – “One Small Step” is comfort food for me. A close second is “The Siege of AR-558”

The easiest & cheapest option would be to expose one of the devices to the internet on a known port and connect from the other device to that one with SSH.

Once you’ve got a connection, you can do pretty much anything you want, including writing to a pipe or even a file and polling it.

If you don’t want to expose either, then you need a third party to facilitate the connection that is on the Open internet, though that server can be yours too. Even a €4/mo box at Hetzner would do it.

If these options sound good, let me know and I can be more detailed.

Don’t feel bad. That whole series was a disjointed mess.
