I was rewatching some Star Trek TNG and some Voyager.
Voyager is OK but Chakotay and his pseudo native stuff are annoying, and good god neelix is just annoying AF, the Jar Jar binks of ST, Kess kind of sucks, Tom Paris is pretty tedious. too. . . #startrek#voyager#TNG
「 Voyager was the first unmanned mission to include distributed computing, partly because the sheer number of tasks to be executed with precision during the high-stakes planetary fly-bys would exceed the capabilities of any single computer that could be made flyable. There was a social engineering angle to this as well, in that it kept the various engineering teams from competing for resources from a single computer 」
@Crell I mean one of my first jobs was fix something where the only code was a literal assembly printout, somewhat faded, and a file for the binary that got burned to an EPROM. I had to patch in a jump to a separate bit of code I put in a spare bit of space and then back in to the right place.
LOL, no, not remotely comparing to what NASA did. It was a tote machine, and I could change the EPROM if I screwed up.
NASA are awesome
Fun bit of “throw the new guy in the deep end” though.
A thing that makes the #Voyager bugfix so compelling: at no point has "throw more GPUs/nodes/buckets/bandwidth at it" been a solution. Not at any budget.
Ihr #StarTrek liebenden Pay-Streaming-Verweigerer da draußen, höret meine Worte:
Auf #Tele5 beginnt, nachdem #Voyager geendet hat, gerade wieder #DasNächsteJahrhundert bzw #TheNextGeneration oder #TNG mit Staffel 1 Folge 1.
Noch für 5 Tage lässt sich die erste Folge in der Mediathek nachträglich ansehen und, wenn ihr am Ball bleibt, nach & nach alle Folgen der Serie nach Ausstrahlung im TV.
Viel Vergnügen!
Ich gebe es mir auf jeden Fall (nochmal) 🤗
