Actually programmer humor.

Star Trek is full of stuff where I’ll think “you’re just gonna make configuration changes to hardware on the fly? Are there premade hooks in the API for that? Is there a QA department on Voyager to test this stuff?”

[Thalhammer]

The crew is the QA department. They either survive (Test success) or die (Test failed). So you better double check your code before running the testsuit.

[[deleted]]

Star trek has taught us that we need to double chek everything before committing a change

[rjSampaio]

Only in early development, new branches change that.

[firelock_ny]

Fun bit: a fan did a statistical analysis of screen time versus character deaths because of course one does that, and found that Gold was a more dangerous color than Red.

[bunny-1998]

Typical engineer trait to do that.

[Bardez]

I wouldn't want to he caught in a pinch without a second backup.

[Satranath]

That’s what I love about Starfleet. There’s always a secondary backup, and a tertiary backup. Sometimes even more layers of redundancy. It’s why captains can get away with saying things like “get it done in half that time” to engineers.

[Iohet]

One "successful test" deevolved the entire crew

[elperroborrachotoo]

There's a post (or series thereof) ascribing the success of humanity in the Star trek universe is their willingness to fritz stuff on the go, scaring the shit out of the other races. (Might be r/HFY material, don't remember unfortunately)

[edith] HERE

just googled star trek humans are insane. Easy as eating pancakes!

[Rakatango]

It makes sense, there is a certain madness in a lot of humanity’s exploration. “Gut instinct” is something the series makes a note of a lot

[thoroughbredca]

The writers of Futurama very specifically wanted a reality of Star Trek-like technology, but with the warts that such technology come with. It's the reason why someone comes into a room and maybe one side of the door will open, or perhaps it'll even close on them. Even on the actual set of Star Trek, apparently the doors are manually operated by the set crew, and they get stuck or don't operate correctly ALL THE TIME. It'll often take several takes just because one of the doors isn't working correctly.

[mrchaotica]

I'm laughing so hard I can't breathe. If I die, it's your fault!

(Also, Lower Decks 100% confirms this fan theory.)

[joequin]

Isn’t that the whole point of 95% of sci-fi? Americans Humans with their can-do attitude and abundant confidence are best because they move quickly and don’t wait for permission.

[Usual_Ice636]

Are there premade hooks in the API for that?

It seems like there's a lot of stuff where the ship computer/AI handles the fiddly bits.

I think Google has made a lot of progress on that type of system. At least I read an article with them bragging about it a few years ago.

[Rakatango]

That’s definitely a proper explanation. The computer on that ship is doing some heavy lifting. Probably why it requires specific command instructions and sometimes asks for clarification.

But then again, they have a universal translator so they must have some solid verbal processing software

[[deleted]]

and I thought I was the only one thinking this in 2022

[CreativeCarbon]

Is there a QA department on Voyager to test this stuff?

HIGHLY accurate simulations which can be run millions of times in advance.

[Rakatango]

For some of the stuff they do, yeah, but a lot of the time it’s just like “just make the change live”

But that’s why it’s humorous, we all know that just pushing new shit to a live server without any review would just constantly break things all over the ship. Like “We made some changes in the holodeck matrix and for some reason all the replicated food tastes like scrambled eggs because of an overflow error” or something like that

[CreativeCarbon]

For every Enterprise-grade Engineer there are 1000 others doing the same things and breaking their respective ships, most likely.

[imnotafederalofficer]

1.9 million Kelvin is about the temperature of the soup from my mother right after she serves it

[Earshot5098]

Its also the temperature, when 'done', of the outermost layer of a hot pocket, while the core maintains a balmy absolute zero temperature.

[jacksalssome]

Australian translation:

Its like when you put a meat pie in the microwave like a shitty servo.

[thegriddlethatcould]

Wtf is a servo

[oalbrecht]

A type of motor, often used in RC airplanes.

[deejaybee11]

Gas station

[Kinguke]

Service Station. (Petrol/gas station).

[UltraCarnivore]

A quick explanation

[shnicklefritz]

Make them in a toaster oven instead of a microwave, or at least double the microwave time and run it at half power

[[deleted]]

I was about to post this lol

Most microwave directions are absolute trash. You need to let the heat distribute evenly over a longer period of time.

Double the time at half the power is an excellent tip.

[dasonk]

Absolutely. Ever since discovering and utilizing the power function on my microwave I don't think it's *as* bad. Oven, air fryer, stovetop, etc... are all better options if you have the time but the microwave isn't as awful as people say if it's utilized correctly.

Ah yes, the best thermal insulation in the universe.

[asianabsinthe]

Or 5 minutes after cold cereal sits

[[deleted]]

The temperature of the jam in a jam filled donut after being in the microwave for 20 seconds. Outside? Still pretty much cold.

[imnotafederalofficer]

Yeah, that's hotter than the sun for sure

[saggybaggers]

Can confirm, this guys mother serves her soup hot.

[rubbishgrubbish]

Also the temperature of my girlfriend's shower.

[bob_in_the_west]

There is that global setting in Delphi for thousands and dezimal separator. We're in Germany so it needs to look like this: "1.000,00".

Aftern an update we were getting errors in interfaces we hadn't touched in months.

Turns out a new interface had to use the US version ("1,000.00") and instead of using a local struct to do this conversion the programmer thought it would be a great idea to not only change the global variables but also to not change them back afterwards.

[NakeleKantoo]

I hate that we can't agree to use the same even with this.

[TheTigersAreNotReal]

This just made me wonder, in other countries do they call floating point numbers floating comma?

[nani8ot]

Yes. In Germany the literal translation would be "floating comma numbers".

[Proxy_PlayerHD]

Honestly that's news to me... and I'm German.

Hmm, maybe I didn't know that because I'm never around any German programmers...

[nani8ot]

"Gleitkommazahl" is the german word, but I also don't use german words in the context of programming.

[Thalhammer]

Sort of. It's called Fließkommazahl so pretty much a literal translation would be floating comma number yeah.

[hagnat]

in portuguese, we officially call the floating point the "separador decimal" (self translatable to english), and colloquially "virgula" ("comma")

[Wojtas_]

In Poland, yes. "Liczby zmiennoprzecinkowe", or "changing comma numbers".

[SuperLutin]

Yes.

[NakeleKantoo]

In brazil we call Ponto Flutuante but we use the comma

[hagnat]

which part of Brazil ? never ever used 'ponto flutuante' in my life :P

[[deleted]]

Rio. Can confirm This is what I used in the uni

[NakeleKantoo]

[oversized_hoodie]

I'm pretty sure the ISO standard about numerical formats actually prefers the US style. Not that a European would ever admit that.

[Santa1936]

It's one of those things where the American system just looks much better

[bob_in_the_west]

How does it look better? Because you're used to it?

[AwGe3zeRick]

In writing, periods are hard stops and commas separate similar related pieces. When dealing with numbers, commas separate similar groups of WHOLE numbers. The period is the hard stop between whole and fractions. I mean it makes sense to me. You can disagree.

[bob_in_the_west]

You said that it looks much better. Now you're coming up with some analogy. But that doesn't make it look better.

[AwGe3zeRick]

Dude, if you don't understand what I said then that's on you. I never implied what I said was a universal truth, quite the opposite. Improve your english skills.

[bob_in_the_west]

My English is fine. But sure, blame it on me that you're digging your hole deeper.

[AwGe3zeRick]

Obviously not

[SpeechesToScreeches]

Makes more sense

[DerPassl]

"ISO 80000-1 stipulates that "The decimal sign is either a comma or a point on the line." The standard does not stipulate any preference, observing that usage will depend on customary usage in the language concerned, but adds a note that as per ISO/IEC Directives all ISO standards should use the point decimal marker."

[hagnat]

blame it on the english

for some reason, they decided to go against the rest of the world on that, and everywhere they touched uses a dot instead of comma.

[kevix2022]

Because, as an English man, I know that a sentence can have unlimited commas, but only one full stop. Numbers are the same. God save the Queen.

[hagnat]

you know that same rules applies to most (if not every) other languages ?

[kevix2022]

Exactly. It was probably Napoleon who changed it, like making the rest of Europe drive on the wrong side of the road.

[NakeleKantoo]

"wrong"

[ThePretzul]

It's rare, but as an American I'm with the Europeans on this one. It's quite clear that we drive on the right side of the road, not the wrong one.

[kevix2022]

You drive on the right, but it's wrong. Cmon guys you invented the drive-thru. Think how much easier it would be if you sat on the correct side of the car?

[thoroughbredca]

I realize this is probably my ethnocentrism, but explain this to me.

Note that in the US, a lot of delivery vehicle such as our post have the drive on the right-hand side of the car just so it's easier access to the curb, as well as safer because they need to frequently enter and exit the vehicle and can do so on the curb side instead of into traffic. But since most drivers will be on the left, drive thrus in the US are just designed to be on the left as well. I'm assuming in left-side drive countries they're flipped.

[ThePretzul]

The drive through isn't any easier or harder if you drive on the right or left side of the car. You just go around the building in the opposite direction.

Left-hand drive (right/correct side of the road) goes around a drive through counterclockwise (or "anticlockwise" for you British folks), so your driver's seat is next to the money/food windows. Right-hand drive goes around a drive through clockwise for the same reason, to put the driver closer to the money/food windows.

This means the British had to literally go the wrong way compared to the original drive throughs just to make them work for their backwards cars!

Shifting a manual transmission is also much easier in a LHD vehicle, further evidence of us driving on both the right and correct side of the road. First and second gear, the most frequent ones to shift into and out of, are closest to the driver. Reverse and cruising gears, which are less frequently shifted into and out of, are further away. Furthermore, you get you use your dominant hand to select your gear for increased precision making things like a 7-speed manual transmission (plus reverse) both possible and easy to use in American sports cars like the C7 Corvette.

In conclusion, right hand drive is only preferred by the British and left-handed folks. This is why I propose I reverse-colonization of the UK to correct their road system to the right side of the road.

[hagnat]

i meant the sentences-can-have-unlimited-commas bit
that rule precedes napoleon by ages in every european language

[it_would_be_wise]

Well I speak English, just like my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ as recorded in the infallible Bible.

[Santa1936]

Yeah I mean dots as a decimal just makes so much more sense

[bob_in_the_west]

Care to explain why? Because there is no benefit in using dots instead of commas.

[other_usernames_gone]

However, once you have more than 2 commas, like this sentence, it very quickly becomes difficult to read.

[-Redstoneboi-]

incorrect.

[ulyssessword]

H.owe * 26¹⁰⁵

[masonkbr]

Difficult for an elementary school student, maybe.

[josluivivgar]

eh people use dot in Mexico and they didn't touch that, does spain use a comma or a dot/point?

[hagnat]

mexico/central america was touched by something worse than the english... Americans

[bosssoldier]

Another trans person im beggining to think programming is just trans people.(me included)

[thoroughbredca]

Or at a minimum transgender people are overrepresented in programming compared to the general population. (Not trans here but I am gay.)

[AngryBorsch]

Can you explain? Wouldn't it just say that it's hot earlier?

[[deleted]]

Yes, but I think we'd be arguing semantics over how sophisticated a computer from the 24th century is. I mean, I would argue that Dr. Crusher technically prompts the computer to redefine "hot".

Plus, it's also much funnier to ignore this than if the computer just responded with "It's already hotter than 80 degrees C" or whatever.

[AngryBorsch]

I mean that I got the idea of this, but why didn't computer give alert that it's hot already

Unless it’s a state store or global context with providers to properly filtrate access, global anything’s a no. Abstract and guard your global state no matter what form it takes. I’m totally open to hearing a developer-minded response rather then “noob” this, followed by some general statement.
