Programmers used to be so hostile to women that they needed to transition (evolve) to refill the niche.
that is not how a confidence interval... never mind.
The confidence interval is 1% - 199%
Source please! I want this to be true.
I don’t make the rules…. but I have observed far too often for it to be coincidence that the more brilliant a type theorist is, the more likely it will be that they identify as 🏳️⚧️ or 🏳️🌈.
Counterpoint: I used to be a computer scientist in obscure languages, I'm as cis as they come, and I've always been absolutely average. Wait that's not a counterpoint at all
Counterpoint: I am a trans woman in CS and I am incompetent
Maybe you just have imposter syndrome: you think you work in CS but you actually work in retail.
That's...not...
Maybe taking estrogen will elevate your rank.
You've convinced me we need to start marketing HRT as performance enhancing drugs for programmers. Maybe that would make corporate America support trans healthcare
Would this be considered doping?
I mean, you're gonna be dope as hell!
In that case she’d be able to double jump
This is a common misconception. Trans people actually have a directional air dash.
As a trans woman, I can say it’s actually both
What do the Linux socks unlock? Sneak while running?
Removes fall damage
Sneak while browsing, Microsoft and Apple can't track you
You could say that type theorists are isomorphic to LGBT.
What about Gödel, Frege, Cantor, and the other great philosophers-mathematicians of the 20th century?
Godel has a vibe. Don't be so sure.
Cantor is the infinity guy, so clearly he/it's a mind-breaking eldritch abomination with tentacles. (Also, mostly 19th century)
I don't know Frege.
what about alan turing?
What about them? Listing a few brilliant straight people doesn't negate the other commenter's claim.
They grew up in an oppressed environment and couldn't develop their own personal preferences (what did I just write?)
type theorist?
It's kinda like set or category theory. The kind of math that hardly resembles anything at all yet somehow applies everywhere, to infinity and beyond
People who use templates and types to achieve absurd outcomes that just work, maybe?
I have seen a few haskell magic.
Dunno about type theory per se but I visited a Haskell-based company a while back, and they said 50% of the women they interviewed were trans. Not sure of the cause and effect relationship. I know of several male-at-the-time programmers who got interested in Haskell and then transitioned later.
They're putting something in the Haskell that's turning the coders trans! (jk)
Straight men are into OCaml, did you not hear yet?
You should see what Visual Basic used to do to people.
I know VB from my early days as something like Mikrosofts take on Python. But not 99% sure anymore.
Eh, it was just BASIC combined with the best (by far) visual forms editor available at the time.
I had to look it up, DLC is downloadable content.
Big if true
come the fuck on
string bigIfTrue(Boolean size)
{
string toAssign = '';
if (size == true)
{
toAssign = 'big';
}
else
{
toAssign = 'small';
}
return toAssign;
}
true ? 'big' : '';
My beloved
String bigIfTrue(Boolean size)
{
if (size == true){ return "big" }
return "small";
}
Bloat. Nobody asked for else.
Or assignment. Just return.
Where's your interface and factory?
That is indeed a big one!
Claire's (likely) a good programmer, knows there's always edge cases and is super pedantic.
Welcome to Programmer Humor!
This is a place where you can post jokes, memes, humor, etc. related to programming!
For sharing awful code theres also Programming Horror.
