  • The time loop episode of TNG (Cause and Effect) is one of my favourite things I have ever watched. But that doesn't affect the overall timeline so I don't think it counts against your argument, which I agree with.

  • Each DNA base can be represented in 4 bits because there's only 4 values: A, T, G or C. (This is a simplification because of epigenetic base modifications, but works for now). So just take the length of DNA and multiply by 4 for the amount of bits the data represents. You do have to add up the lengths of all the chromosomes considering that sperm only have one copy of each chromosome, not two. Also factor in that there is no mitochondria in sperm. Lastly, about half of the sperm will be carrying an X and half will be carrying a Y chromosome so just take the length of the (X + Y) / 2 for the sex chromosome. Now just multiply by the amount of sperm in an average ejaculation and you'll get a good estimate.

  • I dunno, I trust Alex Jones to blow a LOT of hot air.

  • I'm excited for you! There an entire TV Trope named because of Season 2 called Growing the Beard which is the opposite of Jumping the Shark. It's where a show really finds their stride. So if you made it through Season 1, you should be in for a good time!

  • Animosity is literally a strong feeling of dislike or hatred and in this case the source of that animosity would be the racism.

  • I think they were trying for some of the animosity Bones and Spock had in the original series. Yeah, it did not come off well.

  • No, I ain't going back to VHS. The quality was horrible. I don't want to fiddle the with tracking.

    The best thing about it was that you could easily record what was on the TV.

  • I was looking to see if there are equivalents to Java's private and protected members, and it looks like Python's answer to that is just throw one or two underscores in front of things to do that. And it doesn't really do anything, more of just a naming convention. To me that feels like a basic OO structure that is shoehorned into Python.

  • You're right in that OOP feels very shoehorned in with Python. But not every project has a Linus Torvalds to publicly humiliate horrible ideas and implementations.

  • Write a new method, make sure to reference self first. Write a new method, make sure to reference self first. Call the method, make sure to reference self first.

    Yeah, I can see it.

  • We're gonna need a bigger ladder.

  • I misread the original quote as being from Terry Pratchett and as I was reading your comment I was like "No way in hell, what is this guy talking about?".

  • 18kt gold is an alloy with 75% gold and other metals that may be magnetic. I wouldn't trust a gold chain around my neck with an MRI.

  • It was a knee MRI. She wasn't stuck inside it, she just wanted her husband to help get her off of the table instead of just the technician.

    Still a horrible scene though, but not quite as horrific as your first imagining.

  • Wouldn't better efficiency lead to less physical requirements for the same output which leads to lower labour costs?

  • I am Neutral Good.

  • Ahh! The beast that screams while it eats! (to quote an old, old reddit comment)
