Strong Opinions

Also known as Hard Truths.

Movies / TV / Books

  • Good Star Trek ended after Enterprise
  • Deep Space 9 was peak Star Trek
  • The Disney Star Wars trilogy wasn't that bad
  • Return of the Jedi was worse than The Last Jedi
  • Planet of Twilight was better than the Young Jedi Knights series
  • Post-Disney Star Wars Expanded Universe is even better than the Legends EU
  • The B. Herbert/K.J. Anderson Dune novels aren't that bad, just not as good as Frank Herbert's
  • Goonies is not great
  • The Mandalorian proved that shows like Star Trek: Discovery could have captured the source material's vintage feel while still being excellent

Programming / Technology

  • C89 was perfect except for implicit declaration
  • JavaScript shouldn't be used except in the browser
  • OOP shouldn't be attempted in C, or any language not designed with OOP in mind
  • Cryptocurrency is a great technology but an unreliable investment
  • Newer version of Windows have no place in a production environment
  • Modern Linux is easier to install and use than modern Windows
  • Quantum computing has definite practical applications, but will not replace traditional computing for simple calculations and logical operations
  • Modern deep learning AI is not so far removed from simple curve-fitting algorithms and is no more capable of bias, racism, malice, or any other anthropomorphic quality than a spreadsheet
  • We don't necessarily need Linux, AI, or any other high-level technologies in most IoT devices, and adding them where they aren't needed is the source of most of IoT's security, privacy, and power consumption issues
  • If it can't run DOOM then it isn't useful for day-to-day computing
  • True privacy or trustless computing is ultimately impossible in the modern age, and there's nothing you can reasonably do about it except be aware of it
  • Ender 3 remains one of the best choices for someone's first FDM 3D printer, in terms of capability and out-of-box experience

Politics / Philosophy

  • Ulfric Stormcloak was wrong
  • The USA not using metric is Benjamin Franklin's fault
  • The USA saying "soccer" instead of "football" is Britain's fault
  • All the common arguments for Simulation Theory are trite and if applied consistantly could argue for or against any possibility

Food

  • Taco Bell and Little Ceasar's aren't bad for the price
  • Sriracha is excellent on tex-mex dishes
  • American cheese isn't Kraft Singles, the USA has a complex and proud heritage of quality cheeses
  • Orange cheese in America is Britain's fault
  • Tapenade is better than caviar in all situations
  • Supermarket "greek yogurt" is just decent yogurt, and real Greek yogurt should be the consistency of neufchatel
  • Discount day-old baked goods are the only logical choice unless you want something specialty or plan to eat the whole thing in a single day
