Ah yes, computer programming, the leader in biological sciences.
It was not on my bingo card today to witness someone attempt to ascribe legitimacy to intelligent design through application of computer programming concepts but here we are.
It’s an old creationist ploy. DNA is like a computer program, which implies there must have been a programmer, yadda yadda, just asking questions, wharblgarbl, brave scientists are speaking up and challenging the Darwinist regime.
Calling your own mewling drivel “Programmer Theory” is an A+ dipshit move.
Spoken like someone who doesn’t know shit about functional genomics
That is a delightfully ironic cover ^^, my headcannon is that someone in the distribution pipeline was intentionally taking the piss, surely no one can be that shortsighted; wait …
ah, Programmer Theory is just the dumbest shit I hear when engineering meetings lose focus, got it
also, words mean things, Pico Paco e/λ! science absolutely does fucking explain genetic recombination, CS knows how merge functions work, and we even know from cross-discipline information theory that these two things look mathematically nothing like each other!
also, and I almost missed it because this stupid asshole tried to squeeze it in right before an etc: where the fuck is DNA “execution” doing anything resembling a unit test?
fuck me, the more I look back at Pico Paco e/λ‘s posts the more bullshit I spot. git merge
(and all other methods of merging code under source control) relies on manual intervention in cases where merge algorithms break (which is incredibly common) and might still produce a non-functional result — it’d be awful at automatically merging DNA strings together! like fuck, the diffs that git merge
handles are even line-based, which isn’t a concept that DNA strings have
“another copy that works perfectly with some fidelity” what does this even mean, Pico Paco e/λ, if that is your real name?
and here I was gonna ask Pico Paco e/λ who he thinks is reading the comments in junk DNA, but these posts are fractally wrong
