Computer science poll time 

@Firaas Might want to consider a "no vote" option so people who want to see the results but dont want to vote (or didnt watcht he video) wont skew the results.

Due to recent incidents of people providing obviously bullshit evidence my usual policy of "put up or shut up" and now been reduced to simply "shut up". Thank you for understanding and have a good day. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

@icedquinn management of any form is the worst thing that ever happened to software :)

@Den_ni Nice, we will all let you settle in a bit before shit-trolling you. Make sure you get comfortable first :)

Welcome.

@icedquinn Well we dont **have** to measure something. We can just accept that the pace at which one operates can not be objectively measured and that at best we can just get a subjective sense of it. Thats perfectly ok (yes I know as a data scientist it is a bit weird to say this, but it is true).

That said if you really must measure something then at least have multiple simultanious measurements to compare to.. things like number of unit tests written and/or made to pass, number of diagrams written, number of pages of documentation as seperate from LOC.. while none of these will give you a complete or objective picture by having multiple data points it might at least paint a better picture.

All I know is some days where I have the most productivity and a very respectable pace I might not write any lines of code at all. More over it means in the weeks that follow, if I did a good job, I need to write far fewer lines of code to accomplish the same thing. So while my pace actually increases by the measure of LOC it would appear my pace decreased.

@lucifargundam I have never been confident enough in anything I do to ever test that theory :)

@icedquinn I think measuring it in SLOC is just not a good measure of productivity honestly... when i refactor i can have thousands of lines, but when i architect something new I might have 100.

I officially petition that we change the word "government" in the dictionary to "goober mint"... Who will sign my petition?

@djatropine444 You will be welcome at my camp anytime. Me and all the cool kids already have our front row tickets reserved to watch the world burn.

@digital_carver There are plenty of reasons to hate science nerds, and yes this is one of them :)

@digital_carver sometimes its subtle enough it doesnt look bad. Thing is parents, at least int he usa, often tell their kids "show all your teeth" and think it looks good. They do this certain sort of really painfully awkward smile where they curl their bottom lip to make sure their bottom teeth show too. Much like int he picture I showed. It looks so ugly.

While kids generally grow up and it goes away as they smile more naturally i know 3 adults (2 are married and one learned it from the other) that still smile this way in their pictures and it looks so absolutely cringe worthy.

My current confidence level in whatever I happen to be working on in my life at any moment is directly inversely proportional to the number of browser tabs I have open at any one time.

@djatropine444 If the end result is both parties burning to the ground then I too will be in the the sidelines with my popcorn cheering it on.

@djatropine444 The voting public on either side will be commited to their trash of a party no matter how hard a president tries to trash a party... Trump did more to set the republican party on fire than any other president... yet his support in terms of voters was surprisingly strong right up until the end.

I expect joe to be no different, no matter how many fires he lights.

@waltercool

As long as they dont act on it by touching a child sexually, talking to them sexually, or viewing child pornography (which involves abuse of the child to create it) then I can be supportive of their condition.

I might be ok with them being around children so long as I am confident they would never act on their feelings, but I'd be cautious.

I mean, I'm attracted to adult women but I am perfectly ok being around them without touching them, even women who wont conscent. So I cant understand a MAP who doesnt act on their urges being ok to be around them. I prefer to judge someone based on their actions not their internal feelings. So as long as they never acted inappropriately or said anything to suggest they would then I can be ok with that.

I do agree of course that should a pedo/MAP feel attracted to a child, given the childs young age, and the adults experience, it may be rather easy for the adult to manipulate the child into something in appropriate. Anything like this is entirely unacceptable of course, even if it doesnt lead to sex.

The only time a MAP would use it to their advantage is if they are a bad person with intent to act. Obviously such people exist, my point is only that some MAPs are just as in control of their sexual urges as a morally conscious man (hetero) would be around a woman. There are of course rapists too and a rapist can be attracted to adults or kids, one is a bit worse than the other but neither is acceptable by a long shot of course.

@mc

The experiment has been done many times. Oddly enough though no one has bothered to write about it afterwards, so the documentation is lacking.

@mc

When you jump out of an airplane its not you that are flying, you are just laying there peacefully. Its the ground that is flying... upward, to meet your face violently.

@Science @funny

@Bradley_JF Oh dont worry, im sure they will be back once a republican wins the presidential election again. Remember racism only exists when republicans are in power, it hibernates when good old Joe is around.
