The Visitor (S4, E2) was nominated for a Hugo award. The main character in this story is an older version of Jake Sisko, played by Tony Todd.

Not quite, even by the second appearance of the Ferengi (The Battle, S1 E9), the Ferengi captain who tries to take revenge on Picard is eventually relieved of his command because "revenge is not profitable"

Some examples of those?

(I learned Lisp in the 90's and enjoyed it, but I still find it difficult to read.)

There's another version of this where the islands are placed in a more natural way nearer to their continental neighbours:

On the front page, there is an example about optional typing, but it's not very clear how the typing is coming in:

  def fib(x) { x <= 2 ? 1 : fib(x - 1) + fib(x - 2) }
  
  println "40th fibonacci number is ${fib(40)}"

ORMs based on the query object pattern don't hide the database, but make SQL more reusable/composable (e.g. SQLAlchemy, JOOQ, etc).

Why does Ruby make Asciidoctor horrible to work with?

And at the end of that Bob says:

> For my part I'll just say that I have given due consideration to the points you've made, and while I disagree with your conclusions above, I have integrated several of your better ideas, as well as this entire document, into the second edition of Clean Code.

I agree that the prime list example is really a constructive proof. But what about the sqrt(2) and log(2) examples?

Can you say more about those bugs?

Right at the end of the article:

> Why not release the belugas into the ocean?

> It's geopolitically difficult to return many belugas to their native waters, because many come from Russia, Lott said.

> Sending the Marineland belugas into the wild would have been "inhumane," Trites said. At least half of the animals were born into captivity, so they don't know how to hunt and wouldn't be accepted by the local beluga population.

> "The animals are so social that they can't survive on their own," he said.

Which VPS?

Are there any books you'd recommend that get it right?

Is the lack of cons cells a significant limitation?

Altair looks closer than Alpha-Centauri on this map, although it's actually 4 times as far (probably Z axis squashing).

Cantor is mentioned, but I'd also mention the idea that some infinities are equivalent (e.g. Integers and Rationals), but others are not (Rationals and Real numbers).

Does StorX have any special handling of concurrent writes, or would the user need to take care of that?

Thanks. Can you say more about why TypeScript with Deno is your scripting language of choice?

TNG introduced various civilisations that drive much of the plot in DS9.

Season 1: Ferengi

Season 4: Trill, Cardassians

Season 5: Bajorans

Also, Chief O'Brien and his wife Keiko who were recurring minor characters in TNG have more important roles in DS9.

I remember in a previous job having to enable git rerere, otherwise it wouldn't remember previously resolved conflicts.

Do you remember which video that was?

Do you mean local variables per se, or mutable local variables? Clojure, like most Lisps has let.

Recently, I wondered what would happen if two of these systems were set up doing mutual pair programming ...
