@bestofStarTrek A warp drive, as long as it comes with manuals and explanations for all the bits needed to use it. That way we'd get FTL, but also the antimatter power system. And a warp core ejection system that only works when the plot doesn't need it to not work.

What Star Trek technology do you want most?

@Sassafrass_84 Whereas this shitstain is nothing but positive contributions.

What a horrible thing to say. I love older people. You really are a nasty one. This is what an infiltrator looks like, folks. Dont alienate our older generation. They deserve our love and respect.

@brockpierson Worse. Old enough to have thought it a brilliant advance.

Are you old enough to have used a dial up modem yourself to get onto the internet?

@TheGoldenDays The design wasn’t the problem. The x86 version was woefully slow and unreliable. My work switched us onto the x86_64 version on new machines and it was fine.

Windows Vista was heavily criticized, but looking back, the Aero glass design was beautiful. Was it actually bad or just ahead of its time?

@igor_os777 Some of us remember ed very well. On many old UNIX systems, when a file needed edited in single user mode you were often on a serial console without cursor control. A line editor was all you had, and usually it was all you needed.

grep: Born from a Text Editor Nobody Remembers grep — the indispensable Unix search tool — didn’t start life as a standalone command. Ken Thompson lifted it wholesale from ed, the original Unix line editor, where g/re/p meant “globally search for a regular expression and print matching lines.” The command proved so useful that Thompson wrapped it in its own binary overnight. Ed, meanwhile, faded into obscurity — remembered today mostly by people who accidentally launch it, can’t figure out how to quit, and have to kill the terminal in shame. grep‘s descendants (egrep, fgrep, ripgrep) now populate virtually every operating system on the planet. Ed remains unavailable for comment.

@MikeTappTweets It is somewhat turbulent at home though, isn't it? You know, the place the electorate lives. Right now it feels strikingly similar to Strong and Stable Theresa May, and I suspect it'll end similarly.

Stability with Starmer and Reeves has helped protect the nation from international turmoil.

@DamianLow3 One of them was in the Government at the time. It is reasonable and normal for former members of the Cabinet to be under greater scrutiny than opposition party members. As of right now, Farage is ‘just’ an MP. Rayner was Deputy PM with a housing brief.

Rayner has been cleared, but the media ran 30 front pages in total, averaging 4 front pages a day during the peak of the story. Farage's £5 million gift has had two front page stories. Why would there be such a difference in reporting standards for the two?

@otokyo__ 'Your opinion is important to us. Please hold the line and someone who gives a shit will be with you shortly.'

@SpaceshipAddict I'm not a fan of recent Trek, so a massive course correction is the best 60th celebration I could hope for.

Is it just me or has this been a super duper underwhelming 60th anniversary of Star Trek? No new shows/movies greenlit. 1 cancelation behind another already established cancelled show. No good merch other than some original series bridge playsets that virtually no one will buy…

@bestofStarTrek The OG. The D's demise was an action scene - ok, an extraordinarily well-done action scene! - and, crucially, Picard wasn't present. The Constitution's end was a funeral pyre watched by Kirk and McCoy/Spock. It was beautiful.

Which one?

@AngelaRayner Only pay your outstanding tax bills when you need to mount a leadership challenge. That’s the Labour choice.

I welcome HMRC’s conclusion, which has cleared me of any wrongdoing. I have been exonerated by HMRC of the accusation that I deliberately sought to avoid tax. When purchasing a home of my own with a mortgage, I did not own any other property and had no personal financial interest in the court-instructed trust set up to manage my son’s financial award. I was advised by experts that I should pay stamp duty at the standard rate. I set out to pay the correct amount of tax. I took reasonable care and acted in good faith, based on the expert advice I received, and HMRC has accepted this. I have always sought to act with integrity, and I believe politicians should be held to high standards - that is why I resigned from government and cooperated fully with HMRC.  I wanted to ensure that I paid every penny that I owed, and have done so. I am relieved that my family can now move on - and that I can get on with my job.

@KernowQ @Keir_Starmer May I respectfully present as counter evidence everything that’s happened in the last week.

I’ve just joined the Labour Party – Im not a typical Labour voter, but @Keir_Starmer Has brought stability and security back to the country. Its what we all want! Peace!! to live, raise our family, for our jobs, bring up our kids. No drama, histrionics. Just dull stability!!

@implausibleblog Those self-satisfied smiles seem a little out of place after an absolute shellacking at the polls and the ensuing party chaos. Luckily fewer and fewer people are listening.

Naz Shah mocks Reform UK's MPs and the far right, "(I am) the first ever Muslim to propose the loyal address in this chamber" "I must assure them, this is not a takeover" "I must say this is as per convention, a joke" "But if seeing black and brown people on TV makes you feel sick, my speech is going to make you vomit"

@kennygfrederick Just how badly do Labour need to lose at the polls before its supporters realise that they are also losing the argument? As things stand, the only thing that will prevent a populist government is the populists themselves. Labour are making themselves irrelevant.

The whole country does not want him to go actually! Quite the reverse! We want him to stay and continuing to lead us out of the mess Tories left us in! #TenYearKeir

@TheDivMan @oldyzach Ah, that's where I went when I saw the OP video! Good times.

@oldyzach Stunt Car Racing was the first 😬🤯🔥 x.com/thedivman/stat…

Hello retro folks 😎 How you doin' ? ☕️

@at_the_middle @sudox7 You speak like you think I care about your opinion. I don't.

@andrelucas @sudox7 An array of pointers, obviously. You speak about the matter as if you don't understand what a linked list is.

a Python list isn't a list. it's an array of pointers. calling it a "list" is the most misleading name in programming. it's not cache-friendly and also it's not compact. it's an array of addresses scattered across RAM. numpy fixes this by doing what C does: storing the actual values contiguously.

@WelshMalaysian @TRobinsonNewEra @Keir_Starmer Like anyone fucking cares whether you take them seriously or not!

@TRobinsonNewEra @Keir_Starmer If you really want to be taken seriously, can you perhaps not swear.

Will you block the American congressman we have coming to speak @Keir_Starmer I fucking dare ya 🤣🤣

@trussliz @D_Tarczynski It's so pointless. They can just Zoom in and appear on the big screens, and there's been all this publicity. Self-defeating.

Shocking that the Government has banned a sitting ECR MEP @D_Tarczynski from Britain. Of course if Starmer got his desire to rejoin the EU - he wouldn't be able to do this. I will be interviewing Dominik for The Liz Truss Show on Friday.

@Jennyfurfuls I believe the political left, including Starmer himself, were very harsh critics of some of those past leaders at the time. Sauce for the goose.

He's not perfect. He's so much better than the last 14 years. Leave him alone.

What is the point in banning in-person attendance of a rally? Video conferencing does in fact exist, there are big screens at the rally, and the publicity draws attention to those who've been banned.
