/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. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.

~ 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' and fuck over our artist friends.

Fun will now commence.

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

[–] kellyaster 10 points 2 days 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?

[–] Buddahriffic 4 points 1 day 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] 22 points 2 days ago (3 children)

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.

[–] cm0002 5 points 2 days ago (2 children)

"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

[–] model_tar_gz 1 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

Calzones are just folded pizzas.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I see "Lemmings" a lot and fairly like that

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days 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.

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

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

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

Hot dog is taco.

[–] ArtVandelay 11 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days 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 days ago

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

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Shouldn't that be a float?

[–] ArtVandelay 8 points 2 days 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 days ago

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

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.

[–] someguy3 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The two most memorable Trek comics in one thread.

[–] hakunawazo 7 points 1 day ago

I thought this was the most memorable:

Okay, this actually make me cackle like a buffoon.

If TNGs computer were as dumb as ChatGPT.

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

[–] teft 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 days ago

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

[–] M137 8 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

"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".

[–] chuckleslord 15 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days 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] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] surewhynotlem 6 points 2 days ago (2 children)

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

[–] Sidhean 4 points 2 days ago

I prefer "meese", myself

[–] ummthatguy 3 points 2 days ago
[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

1 degree, 2 degrees. 1 kelvin, 2 kelvins

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 days 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 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

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

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

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

[–] aubertlone 7 points 2 days ago

I remember this episode of Jimmy neutron

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

This should be the premise of an actual episode
