i love lattice :)

Are you me? I've been slowly getting into alpinism in the Sierras and looking into getting my p2 cert. (I'd love to combine the two...imagine climbing in the palisades then paragliding or base jumping off )

I regrettably spent my 20s in academia and now I'm in tech and actually afford these hobbies. I'd love to have kids but I'm pushing it off because as you mentioned, it seems selfish.

I'm thinking about a SEA climbing holiday during the winter. I'm eyeing Vietnam. Do you have any favorite locale?

I am from Europe, so probably can't recommend anything useful for you. But if you ever come by Geneva, Switzerland, we have fine indoor and outdoor places. Next one could be Chamonix, any climb when you have glaciated giants 3800m higher than valley is pretty nice.

Step foot into any climbing gym in the Bay Area, and at least 50% of the folks there are SWEs. Probably the same with improv groups. We're not that unique. ;)

oh damn...you also need a big red button to kick things into turbo/overdrive for the serious hacking

or use it as the build/test button!

what was the merge code process like?

git merge --strategy ours

i agree; universe was a little too bleak, which was trendy at the time. we need something campy and fun.

for the love of god upbeat scifi please. I can't take the dystopian themes anymore. I need escapism damnit.

This is my biggest concern with anybody (not just Amazon) trying to extend Stargate SG-1. I want more Stargate. Not a sudden dystopian nightmare, or dour bleak exploration of this or that, or gutting Stargate to write some other show wearing Stargate on the outside (e.g., "It's Game of Thrones, but Stargate!").

It's not even that those things are bad. I've watched and enjoyed some of them. It's just that I know where to get them and I've got enough of them right now.

I would happyly watch a Stargate which connects to parallel universes to keep the fun and curios and action part alive.

It can then become a gateway for stories like sliders and less coherent. Similar to black mirror.

This is the main reason I’ve been watching Star Trek TNG recently. If anyone could recommend some vaguely optimistic sci-fi books that would be amazing.

Babylon 5 is the most upbeat my suspension of disbelief allows for.

And no more time travel!

indeed

Phil, These are great! Thank you!

Thank you!

it's not such a crazy idea.

as a not-so-scientific back-of-the-envelope: assume a poissonian mutation rate and a genome length; how long till a measurable taxonomic difference?

Adding to the authors point; I think there's quite a bit of innovation through maintenance. Reducing the tech debt in existing infrastructure eg. education, transport, etc

I have a gut feeling that societal cohesiveness is somehow lost through 'profit-driven' maintenance.

I agree especially from the authentication side of things.
