Ah, so nothing to do with incels harassing women. Do incels have a queen?

Bravo! If this is a harbinger of the memes that we can expect from Davulcan Mitchell, then it's going to be good.

I haven't used atuin yet, but I believe the histories from other machines is more like accessible than mixed - you don't just hit ↑ on machine1 and see machine2 commands.

A fun article, and I really like the idea of pataphysics. I've klnown of SCP for a long time but I've never delved into it - it seems more bottomless than TVTropes, and I've spent/wasted enough time there already!

I didn't realise that Cheryl was her first name, I thought they'd made a mistake (like how they've spelt it Ryker).

But Wikipedia informs me that her full name is Cheryl Gates McFadden and she uses both names:

She is usually credited as Cheryl McFadden when working as a choreographer and Gates McFadden when working as an actress

Absolutely, that's what I was thinking of when I wrote "tedious"; all the stuff you mentioned matters a lot to the user (or product owner) but isn't the interesting stuff for a programmer.

I was referring to this trivia:

Picard's scene with Guinan was not in the original script. Melinda M. Snodgrass was told that they needed a "Ten-Forward" scene to accommodate Whoopi Goldberg coming in that week.

I took it as true, although I had a quick go at finding where this claim came from and am drawing a blank

[...] a lot of AI companies are “selling dreams” that this tech will go from 80 percent correct to 100 percent.

In fact, Marcus thinks that last 20 percent might be the hardest thing of all.

Yeah, it's well known, e.g. people say "the last 20% takes 80% of the effort". All the most tedious and difficult stuff gets postponed to the end, which is why so many side projects never get completed.

I watched that one last night and had the same thought - she's been the face of nonacceptance towards Data and although Bruce Maddox is far more extreme in his views it seemed like a waste of her character building.

That said, they'd already shoehorned in a Guinan scene so I don't know where they'd find the time.

Ah, the major system. I have a slightly different version: 1 is L, 5 is f/v (FiVe) and 8 is ch/J. Sun, sci-fi, lichee maybe.

Picard gets pegged? I clearly missed the TNG After Dark episodes.
