I will never trust a word out of his lying mouth again.
Yup and it's not even testing general reasoning. They didn't have money for that.
You make some great points. I can't disagree.
If it was written fiction then I would agree, but for the screen I still prefer human actors in makeup over full CGI.
While our culture often attributes achievement to "good genes" - praising attractive looks, natural intelligence, or innate resilience - the reality is more complex than simple genetic determinism. There's evidence suggesting genetic factors influence not just our baseline capabilities, but also our capacity to develop and maintain the beneficial behaviors needed for success. This includes predispositions affecting executive function, stress response, emotional regulation, and basic temperament traits that can make sustained effort and resilience more achievable for some individuals. However, these genetic advantages only represent potential - they must interact with environmental factors like access to education, supportive relationships, proper nutrition, and opportunities to be fully realized. Understanding this interplay helps us move beyond oversimplified praise of "natural talent" while still acknowledging that genetic factors create different starting points for developing crucial traits. This doesn't mean those with less favorable genetic predispositions cannot achieve success - rather, it suggests they may need different strategies and more conscious effort to develop similar capabilities.
Just for you my lawful good friend
There are much better reasons to dislike him than these.
What I want from Trek:
✅️ A sensible tone, mostly serious and sometimes silly. Like real life.
✅️ An exploration of morals, ethics and the human condition, aligned with the mostly utopian future depicted by 80s and 90s Trek.
✅️ An episodic plot that is not overrun by a season arc but not devoid of character development.
✅️ Occasional fun episodes with dress up and jokes.
✅️ Full orchestral score.
❌️ Too many action scenes and explosions.
❌️ Too much budget on CGI.
❌️ Over the top cheesy fan service.
❌️ Rewriting canon.
❌️ Excessively American oriented script.
❌️ Lazy storytelling.
❌️ Reusing plot devices.
The whole system is broken. Putting a financial incentive in front of the review process is not going to fix that.
this is the way
As a programmer who integrates many languages together in the same product this is a pretty clear line in the sand. Where the languages interface, it's up to the new language to adopt the interfaces offered by the older language. Rust guys said they will do this, C guys said why don't you assume this responsibility (they already are). This is either a miscommunication or deliberate scape goat reasoning and deflection. There is no good reason why two languages can't work together with interfaces. I think the C guys are old, grumpy and fearful.
Disclaimer: I don't even like Rust as a language. Just calling it how I see it.
