We never find out exactly what happens to Benny Russell beyond this point, as after the breakdown occurs, Captain Sisko wakes up. Back on Deep Space 9, it seems as if his experiences as Benny Russell were all just a fantasy.

Yes, we do. He ends up in an asylum. He is shown briefly while Sisko approaches the Orb of the Emissary.

...I didn't believe you. I had to look it up to confirm it.

Damn. Never even noticed.

we saw Wesely grow dilithium as part of a high school science project

We also saw Wesley mention that the Klingons had joined the federation.

Things change.

Yes, we've had Windows 98. But what about second Windows 98?

Thank you for your creations! This one really tickled my brain the first time I saw it.

COLONEL JOHN SHEPPARD!!!

What a terrible day to be literate

Holy shit! I always thought it was weird that Bashir specifically cautioned of its use for producing weapons or explosives as opposed to for genetic engineering (i.e. Do you want Khan? Because that's how you get Khan!).

You're running local storage for a VM host? Or are you talking more like whiteboxing your own NAS?

I understand what bcachefs does. I've used bcache many years ago to do exactly what you're describing, albeit for bare metal servers. I'm asking why.

I'm just trying to understand what the use case would be in 2023 outside of a home lab, given that cost per gigabyte is basically at parity between SSDs and HDDs when you consider TCO (i.e. when you price in the extra power and cooling overhead for the HDDs, failure rates, and such).

Good bot

People are inherently bad at rating things. Why not run a "This or that?" style study instead?

Given a list of items to rate, pair them up randomly. Ask a person which item they like better out of each pair. Run through Final Four type eliminations until you get down to their number one preference.

Run through this process for each person, beginning with different random pairings every time.

Record data on all the choices - not just the final ones. You should be able to get good data like that.

For example, there will probably be a thing that is so disliked that it gets eliminated in the first round more frequently than anything else. The inverse will likely be true of a highly-preferred item. And I am sure you can identify other insights as well.

If you can't get fresh, instant is fine
