An intersting discussion on AI augmented programming

[caldera]

I pick one or two threads to read whenever I log in and this one happens to be one today. What a bunch of nerds! Each and every one of you who participated in this thread needs an atomic wedgie and their pocket protector sent through the paper shredder. Isn't there a Star Trek convention or something going on you could attend? Maybe a "Stranger Things" marathon on Netflix?


I apologize. I only saw one of the Star Wars movies, hated Star Trek on TV thus never saw the movies and definitely avoided 2001 and 2010 on principle. I did watch Buck Rogers though but only to see Erin Gray in the tight skinsuits. I basically do not like the Sci-Fi genre as a whole and I'm not sure why. I even disliked Planet of the Apes! Yeah, I'm an infidel so lineup for your wedgies and/or pink belly's.

Wait. Your saving grace is the fact I thoroughly enjoyed "The Martian." I enjoyed the book more than the movie but both I did enjoy. You can go now, you've been granted a reprieve.

Nerds!

I kid of course. Carry on, geeks.

Star Trek TOS was my favorite show as a kid and it still is as a 59 year old geek.

Oh man.  It sounds stupid but TOS was my life growing up.  I was TOS obsessed.  I watched every episode over and over and over every evening at 6pm on one of the UHF stations.  Had every line of every episode memorized almost.  I was a bit OCD as a kid.

We had a weird setup.  We had  two local competing UHF channels and I guess they were both too small to afford the TOS license so I guess they split the cost and half the year TOS was on  one channel half the other.  When they switched they have a marathon and run every episode in order.  That was my yearly Mecca pilgrimage and I'd stay up all night.  My parents just rolled their eyes and let me slide once a year.  LoL.

For a certain cohort of our Gen-X population, TOS was formative.  It's a set of mythology that we all pretty much share.  I think Star Wars and TOS were to Gen-X'ers like what Homer's Iliad and Odyssey were to the Ancient Greeks.

Yes, I begged for the Star Trek Technical Manual for my birthday or Xmas for years.

You are the equivalent to my bigger cousin who was a year older (still is) and had complete control of the TV. He loved that stuff whereas I preferred Hogan's Heroes, Speed Racer and Flipper along with any baseball game that we could get on cable...early cable days-we'd get channels from Sacramento, Oakland and SF.
I did like the Scottish engine room guy though, "We need more power, captain!"

OK I'll give you honorable mention on that one.


Ginger or Mary-Anne?

But they all pale in comparison...

Mary Ann all the way! She was beautiful AND from Reno, NV which is my hometown and where I was born.

I watched all those too.  Was watching Wild Wild West recently and realized many of the hot chick guest stars on that show were also on StarTrek.  It was like they were on tour.

Scottie should have had more screen time.

Very hot, but I'd still take Mary Ann.

What was Captain Pike thinking?  He deserved to end up in that blinking box.

Damn! Forgot about Wild Wild West, loved that show! Might have to find some of those episodes for a re-watch.

Yeah, the Scottsman should have had more screen time than the whiny, cranky Doctor for sure.
