It looks to me as if 0.10 to 0.80 takes up as much vertical space as 0.01 to 0.02. They “yadda yadda‘d” the middle values because mouse was the only one that went that high.

An internship is a role where a person learns how to do this. (And someone who knows how to do this knows it’s orders of magnitude more involved than the two days you were given — two months is a more realistic timeframe.)

Here’s a personal experience of mine, so you have more to compare this with:

When interviewing for a developer position (not an internship), I was once given a take-home programming task to complete over 2-3 days: basically a small, self-contained web app that they had made intentionally buggy and poorly-composed in various ways. I was tasked with identifying & fixing the problems, then providing a write-up of why I changed what I changed. (The package was different enough from their specialty that it was pretty obvious I wasn’t doing their work for them. I confirmed after being hired that this same task was given to all applicants.)

Again, that was for hiring a developer. The whole point of an internship is that you’re being taught and trained on the job.

If you’re already able to build what those people asked of you, then you’re overqualified for the role.

Relevant xkcd: https://xkcd.com/222/

A visiting captain and Sisko never got along. This captain knows that Sisko is crazy about baseball, and spent some time studying the rules specifically to mess with him. They challenge each other to a game of baseball in the holosuite with their respective crews as the teams.

Now, Sisko needs to quickly teach baseball to a bunch of non-humans who don’t get what the big deal is. Hilarity ensues, and life lessons are learned along the way.

I think the controversy of Janeway's choice is largely due to the show's failure to address the orchid of it all.

As I see it, Tuvix is not "Tuvok + Neelix," but also isn't "something new." I maintain that Tuvix is primarily the orchid, which has subsumed the essence and personalities of two Voyager crew members and is asserting itself on board the ship.

All it would have taken is for Janeway to have maintained (or be convinced by another) that this was the case, and it would be the obvious choice to split them back up.

Of course that would negate the tension of the episode, but it could be left as "not everyone on board agrees that this is who/what Tuvix is, but Janeway believes it so that's why her decision isn't immoral." We could have the same kinds of "was Janeway wrong?" debates, but some of the rough edges would be smoothed out, I think.

MechWarrior 2? Man, that takes me back…

Martin and Waldron did some good work here! Especially when compared to the other D+ writing we’ve been getting lately…

Both films my family had no desire to pay theater prices to see, but if it’s available at home & there’s nothing else going on? Sure, why not?

BTW, in both cases we were disappointed. Those scripts could have used a lot more work before going into production. #thanksChapek

Cool article. It looks like they only tested this with wasp faces, though — still inconclusive as to whether the wasps around my yard hate me personally.

“Fair” in the context of this phrase is meant to convey “beautiful” but literally meant “light or pale skinned.”

“Maiden” is meant to convey “young woman,” but literally meant “virgin” (as in “maiden voyage”).

This is why they want us to return to the office.

”The days of Adam after he fathered Seth were 800 years; and he had other sons and daughters.”
