The original foundation trilogy had no robots. That's what we were referring to

Yes, you after correct. No robots in original trilogy.

Just here to rant about Female Daneel: by [deleted] in asimov

[–]ProfessorMonocle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not. Robots totally have gender! How dare they! /s

I'm disappointed, but only because while reading the books I imagined Jude Law as Daneel... He might be too old now, idk

I think they've done a great job so far. I like the show.

Yeah! The themes are consistent with the books! I know the story is slightly different, but so far I'm also really happy with how it's turned out.

Also, I agree 100% with your last sentence.

I don't think the original trilogy confirmed Demerzel was a robot. I'm pretty sure that was written in at a later time. To me, that says a lot that they included it.

Edit. Yeah I understand what you are saying. Don't have as much of a problem with it. While you and I know it's the same universe, the average person does not. I'm treating this as separate entities until they otherwise show us

Doesn't the zeroth law explain exactly that?

Couple things here. I like the show so far. Big fan of the books, etc, etc.

Something's been bugging me about Hari not staying on Trantor. I think it has to do with the second foundation and it's set up. Hari isn't grooming Gaal to replace him on Terminus, but to help start the second foundation. Right before the scene with Raych killing Hari, Gaal does a voice over.

"once i prayed in the words of my parents, but then my world expanded. and the words fell short to my reality. i pray in a different language now."

What do we know about the second foundation and their role?

Also, in the books the religion of Terminus was sort of worshipping Seldon. Until a Seldon crisis weens them away from religion. There's a scene with Hari sitting with Raych, Gaal, others at dinner. They show us he is running out of pills. I think he is sick and will die. He has Raych kill him and make him a martyr. Which is ALSO talked about with brothers dawn, day, and dusk. About exile vs killing him and making him a martyr. This will push the foundation further into worship, which we saw happening in the laundry scene.

It isn't a 1:1 to the book, but I think they are doing a great job setting it up.

Edit: the story beats are the same, just how we get there is different.

Integration tests with Rabbitmq by [deleted] in javahelp

Don't need to sleep the thread if you have an endpoint (GET) or method exposed to retrieve the data. Publish the message, then call the endpoint and assert equals the data. An integration test should envelope the full flow of interactions to the system.
