| 03:34.02 | pompy | GitHub: Researchers Say Women Are Better Coders Than Men, Based on Contributions to Site Women's coding work was more likely to be approved by their peers, but only if they hide their gender, computer science students at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and North Carolina State University found. |
| 03:36.01 | Semlar | how did they find enough female coders to conduct a study |
| 03:38.08 | pompy | long obviously, but yeah https://peerj.com/preprints/1733.pdf |
| 03:41.57 | Semlar | if their gender isn't identifiable how did they identify their gender |
| 03:43.58 | Torhal | TIL Semlar is a misogynist. |
| 03:44.59 | Semlar | i'm just trying to understand how they did a study on women who hid their gender |
| 03:45.32 | Semlar | i mean, presumably they figured out they were women for the study |
| 03:49.45 | Torhal | [21:36:01] <Semlar>how did they find enough female coders to conduct a study <-- THIS. |
| 03:49.59 | Semlar | this says they linked their github emails to google plus accounts |
| 03:50.13 | Semlar | i have a hard time believing anyone has a google plus account |
| 03:50.40 | Semlar | let alone THIRTY FIVE percent of the github accounts they had access to |
| 03:51.16 | Torhal | distills Semlar down to a percentile. |
| 03:51.49 | Semlar | although i guess they did try to force everyone who ever used youtube to make a G+ account |
| 03:51.56 | Torhal | Way past bedtime, so... passout time! |
| 03:58.58 | Iriel | I wonder if its that they're better coders, or have less ego so they're less willing to submit crap |
| 03:59.18 | Iriel | which in the long run is 'better developer' |
| 04:02.45 | Semlar | or if the study is flawed |
| 04:11.04 | Iriel | The graph is hard to read, but i'm not sure the final result is actually significant |
| 04:11.42 | Iriel | (top right graph on p15) |
| 04:11.58 | Iriel | (the 95% intervals on the rightmost columns do seem to overlap) |
| 04:12.20 | Semlar | the part about women's code being accepted more often wouldn't surprise me, the part where they claim that coders who could be identified as women are rejected more often because of their gender sounds like total bullshit |
| 04:13.54 | Iriel | that's the bit which is most tenuous |
| 04:14.05 | Iriel | I also didn't see them talk about the sample size for that bit |
| 04:14.30 | Iriel | since they had to subset the whole in order to figure out whether things were 'gendered' |

| 04:25.01 | FireSiku | I bet the whole "Women who hid gender their gender were approved more often" is because they didnt give a fuck about the fact they're woman and just focused on making good code. |

| 16:40.47 | Gnarfoz | yep |
| 16:40.48 | nevcairiel | its a german product afterall |
| 16:40.52 | Gnarfoz | since the 1981 |
| 16:40.54 | Gnarfoz | -the |
| 16:40.56 | nevcairiel | interesting |
| 16:41.13 | mckenziemc | o.o |
| 16:41.16 | Gnarfoz | launched in 1969, tho |
| 16:41.38 | Amarande | G'morning :) |
| 16:41.48 | Amarande | nevcairiel: yup, people buy it all the time for their kids |
| 16:41.57 | mckenziemc | s/G'/bad / |
| 16:42.11 | Amarande | I work in a grocery store, I'd say maybe a quarter to half of customers with families buy it heh |
| 16:42.24 | nevcairiel | never know which of our products managed to reach all around the world |
| 16:42.44 | Amarande | heck, just like we have Fanta here, and that's despite it not only being a German product, it's actually a Nazi product heh |
| 16:43.00 | nevcairiel | fanta is a coca-cola product, they act everywhere |
| 16:44.29 | Gnarfoz | I actually drive by the Capri-Sonne factory (?) when I go to Hannover |
| 16:44.32 | Amarande | also speaking of German products getting everywhere |
| 16:44.45 | Gnarfoz | they have a building painted like a huge Capri-Sonne box :D |
| 16:44.51 | nevcairiel | haha |
| 16:45.10 | Amarande | is it probable truth or conspiracy-theory that the whole cracking down on US companies' privacy practise is an attempt by the EU to reclaim the money that they bled to the USA in the Volkswagen scandal? heh |
| 16:45.26 | Amarande | (yes, someone on Ars Technica actually suggested that :P) |
| 16:45.56 | nevcairiel | EU having far stricter privacy laws isnt a new thing :p |
| 16:46.07 | nevcairiel | been that way for ever |
| 16:46.52 | nevcairiel | our laws are generally stricter when it comes to consumer protection, which is a big point of the criticism against TTIP |
| 16:47.17 | nevcairiel | it would open the floodgates for food for example that does not meet EU quality standards |
| 16:47.55 | Gnarfoz | worse: it would allow companies to sue countries for profit lost because of "well, you can't sell your shitty product here" laws |
| 16:48.39 | Gnarfoz | there's a reason TTIP is being discussed only behind closed doors in utter secrecy with no access for the public or press: they want to fuck us over |
| 16:49.25 | nevcairiel | i'm generally not against wider open markets, but it should not result in the people being screwed as a result |
| 16:50.17 | nevcairiel | of course the way the US sees it, there is much more to gain for them if they dont have to follow the existing EU laws |
| 16:50.55 | Gnarfoz | nevcairiel: duh. :D see also: Safe Harbour successor law |
| 16:53.35 | Amarande | nevcairiel: there seems to have become a much stronger push to enforce privacy in the last few months though, with the whole safe harbour kerfuffle and all |
| 16:54.03 | Amarande | some US folks are even fearing that they're going to have to say good-bye to their EU friends in many online communities because for some of them the solution may have to be to completely segregate |
| 16:54.35 | Amarande | (and the more fearful comments seem to indicate that "some of them" may be "anyone who can't afford to maintain separate servers in US and EU" :|) |
| 16:54.48 | Semlar | see: the boston tea party |
| 16:55.29 | Amarande | mind you, I've never quite understood the modern absolute obsession with privacy, although that may come partly from being American |
| 16:55.31 | Gnarfoz | I don't think they are taxing us without letting is vote |
| 16:56.15 | Amarande | (and also from the fact that some information doesn't really seem like it's especially super-significant ... like customer records at the grocery store, is it really that big of a deal if everyone knows that Joe bought lemons at Tesco? heh) |
| 16:56.45 | Amarande | if anything that kind of info is probably more of a security issue for the stores than for the customers |
| 16:57.21 | Amarande | (because it could possibly be used by small-time fraudsters to go to the service counter and get a replacement/refund they oughtn't) |
| 16:59.22 | nevcairiel | The reason the NSA still exists is because americans apparently don't care that every of their steps is being monitored =p |
| 16:59.50 | Semlar | don't worry, they're doing it in europe too |
| 17:00.11 | nevcairiel | Its not about "having nothing to hide", its about a constituional right to your privacy |
| 17:01.21 | Simca | meh |
| 17:01.46 | Semlar | do you suppose circles or arcs would work very well with nameplates |
| 17:02.16 | Simca | personally i don't care because I've seen how pretty much every large company has its own metadata collection system which pulls everything ever from Twitch/YouTube/Facebook/Twitter/etc |
| 17:02.54 | Semlar | i think most people have accepted that there isn't a whole lot we can actually do about it |
| 17:02.59 | nevcairiel | Hence why I am not really on any of those, I only have a Twitter account to follow a few people that post news i'm interested in =p |
| 17:03.20 | Simca | it's easy to point at the NSA and say 'this is bad' |
| 17:03.38 | nevcairiel | Companies aren't any better |
| 17:03.40 | Simca | but it's so rampant literally everywhere, and it's basically unsolveable |
| 17:03.44 | Semlar | if you want to protect your privacy you'll have to do it yourself rather than tell people not to monitor you |
| 17:03.55 | Simca | basically, yeah |
| 17:04.28 | Amarande | nevcairiel: part of it is that abolishing such a practise is rather a difficult manner |
| 17:04.42 | Semlar | i don't think most people are even aware of how pervasive it really is |
| 17:04.45 | Amarande | even if the people turn against it, you have to get the representative government to do so |
| 17:05.14 | Amarande | and there's the rub ... meanwhile the NSA has gathered enough on those in authority that they'd better toe the line |
| 17:05.17 | Semlar | it's hard to do much of anything without being tracked |
| 17:05.35 | Amarande | nevcairiel: basically it's pretty much the same way J. Edgar Hoover set himself up for life :| |
| 17:05.46 | Amarande | no one dared try to oust him, because he had enough info to sink anyone who tried |
| 17:06.09 | nevcairiel | Maybe he should have, get rid of all those corrupt politicians |
| 17:06.31 | nevcairiel | If you have something to hide that could destroy you, maybe you should be destroyed |
| 17:06.42 | Semlar | ouch |
| 17:06.43 | Amarande | nevcairiel: the ones that he could basically blackmail to keep him in power? it would be silly for him to get rid of those |
| 17:07.20 | Amarande | but yeah, the NSA isn't about to release the pols' things-to-hide and destroy them, *as long as they keep the NSA happy* |
| 17:07.23 | Semlar | that all depends on the people judging you |
| 17:07.53 | Amarande | it's quite a lot like 1984 |
| 17:08.13 | Amarande | you have your inner party (NSA and the people really pulling the strings), your outer party (the people ostensibly governing), and your proles |
| 17:08.54 | Amarande | Big Brother's primary purpose is to monitor the Outer Party so that they don't do anything to kick the Inner Party out of power |
| 17:09.00 | Semlar | you could probably destroy just about anyone's life given the incentive and enough information about them |
| 17:09.15 | Amarande | meanwhile the proles are pretty much meh unless they actively try to do something to disrupt the power structure |
| 17:16.49 | Gnarfoz | the difference between Twitter and others collecting information and the NSA is that I can choose not to use Twitter, btw |
| 17:17.02 | Gnarfoz | kind of a major thing :P |

| 18:08.39 | Amarande | it's sad that in ##hardware we've been going all ga-ga over these laptops as the price/performance sweet spot |
| 18:08.52 | Amarande | and now in just one expansion perhaps they might not even run wow :( |
| 18:09.36 | VIad | http://infobot.rikers.org/stats/wowuidev.html.gz |
| 18:10.29 | Amarande | wonder why blizz decided to do that ... for the past 11 years the cartoony style graphics and low system demand have been major identity points for WoW |
| 18:10.52 | Amarande | unless they think that they're losing customers to FF14 because of the latter's emphasis on super-slick graphics like most of the AAA games industry has |
| 18:11.40 | Amarande | (heck, wow's low system demand has been legendary, people even managed to run it on surface tablets) |
| 18:12.09 | VIad | garrison kind of makes my fps drop comparatively to other areas in the game |
| 18:12.28 | Amarande | well, so did dalaran |
| 18:12.38 | Amarande | and orgrimmar when it was actually a concentrated population centre and not the ghost town it is now |
| 18:12.46 | Amarande | (seriously, undercity has more people than org, though only because of crz) |
| 18:12.49 | VIad | wonder if there are optimizations they can do to improve the fps |
| 18:13.35 | Amarande | well, maybe not only because of CRZ, it's also rather more efficient to do your 1-60 leveling in the Eastern Kingdoms, pretty much never have to wait for a boat or zepp that way after all |
| 18:15.15 | Amarande | although it seems like one of the more prevailing realistic theories is they want to phase out dx9 because maintaining dx9 is a pain in the arse at this point |
| 18:15.48 | Amarande | but it does kinda make me worry if we're heading to another age like the early 2000s basically were |
| 18:16.00 | Amarande | where optimal PC gaming shifts nearly out of reach of the common person |
| 18:16.29 | Amarande | since it seems like everyone is again pushing much more heavily than before for high hardware demand |
| 18:17.24 | VIad | even without other players, if garrison makes my game drop fps, I guess it means they need to improve performance when they stack wmo objects in one small area? |
| 18:17.49 | VIad | running tripple-a at ultra at fps cap, if they can render stunning graphics for me, I hope wow can render garrison at 144 too :p |
| 18:17.57 | Amarande | possibly ... chugging seems like it may come from more than one source |
| 18:18.34 | Amarande | e.g., I'm not entirely sure if it's the same as dalaran (which I suspect likely had to do with all the different equipment piece graphics that were constantly having to be loaded due to the people density) |
| 18:18.59 | VIad | not sure how blizzards engine does it, but stuff like rendering things out of view - that can tank fps too |
| 18:19.16 | VIad | considering dalaran was in the middle of like 4 zones and with good view you probably had to render a lot of the stuff you dont see |
| 18:19.33 | Amarande | yeah, pretty sure that was also the case |
| 18:19.42 | VIad | some engines avoid using performance on stuff you cant see, not sure how wow will do it in legion |
| 18:19.46 | Amarande | as I recall getting framerate tanks when merely looking south from icecrown |
| 18:19.48 | VIad | with the farclip being extended and all |
| 18:19.55 | Amarande | where dalaran was just a dark spot in the air in the distance, not even rendered |
| 18:20.08 | VIad | maybe blizz should make low poly models |
| 18:20.17 | VIad | like how many open world games do it |
| 18:20.35 | Amarande | but yeah, do you think we're heading into another dark age where the common person is going to get pushed back to consoles again, like in the PS2/early PS3 era? |
| 18:20.49 | Amarande | because PC gaming is going to expect people to be able to drop the price of a used car on hardware again? |
| 18:20.52 | VIad | dunno, consoles here are most popular among young gamers |
| 18:21.29 | Amarande | (as I recall, in the PS2/PS3 era consoles were pretty slick for a good price, while to get similar performance on PC you had to buy ghastly expensive high end gear) |
| 18:21.53 | Gnarfoz | blizz has low poly models for the distant world |
| 18:22.29 | Gnarfoz | in fact, WoW has had various LoD mechanisms since day 1 |
| 18:22.59 | VIad | Gnarfoz: then why can't I render garrison without loosing half my fps? :< |
| 18:23.07 | Gnarfoz | *losing |
| 18:23.12 | Gnarfoz | half of what? |
| 18:23.19 | Gnarfoz | why do you assume there's another half you're supposed to have |
| 18:23.39 | VIad | because I play a lot of games, and usually I play at 120+ |
| 18:23.46 | Fisker | Wat |
| 18:23.50 | Amarande | more to the point |
| 18:23.56 | VIad | but wow is the only game that struggles comparatively and its sad :< |
| 18:24.09 | Amarande | how much longer can I expect my GTX 770 to handle MMOing before I have to shell out another four hundred bucks to keep playing decently? |
| 18:24.18 | Amarande | (as that's what's in my gaming tower) |
| 18:24.32 | VIad | even if you get gtx 970 x2 you might get 100 fps in your garrison :p |
| 18:24.55 | VIad | and of course play any other game imaginable at ultra settings at your monitor cap |

| 18:54.36 | Amarande | nevcairiel: you did say the beta of legion still supported dx9, right? |
| 18:54.58 | nevcairiel | so far, yes |
| 18:55.07 | Amarande | we're trying to puzzle out in ##hardware if the big graphics bump for legion is actually a "literally won't run below this" boundary or a performance based one |
| 18:55.23 | Amarande | as it's kind of ominous that the GPU jumped like that while the CPU requirements have barely budged at all |
| 18:55.37 | Amarande | and I've also heard it really is quite a pain in the ass at this point for game devs to maintain DX9 code |
| 18:55.49 | Amarande | i.e. they'd much rather get rid of it if they could |
| 18:56.31 | Amarande | yet, on the other hand, system requirements quotes are frequently silly matters, seeing as they think an i5-2400 and an FX-4100 are somehow at all equivalent :) |
| 19:03.01 | Semlar | runs nevcairiel at ultra settings |
| 19:11.14 | Torhal | runs Amarande in silent mode. |
| 19:11.30 | Fisker | Nice |
| 19:13.16 | Ressy | Yeah.. I don't think that exists. |
| 19:15.35 | Fisker | Well you can pipe the output to null |
| 19:21.21 | Amarande | yay, bnet works just ducky under stretch |
| 19:21.30 | Amarande | looks like jessie is just a dud, LOL |

| 20:37.48 | zenzelezz | Gnarfoz: "two years ago and now" seems like a reasonable time frame |
| 20:38.02 | Gnarfoz | are you trying to imply "between"? |
| 20:38.19 | Gnarfoz | i.e. in those two years, there was a player at some location? |
| 20:38.19 | zenzelezz | I'm implying "this was 2014, this is 2016" |
| 20:38.21 | Kalroth | >implying |
| 20:38.38 | Gnarfoz | you don't present data without a legend, pretty easy |
| 20:38.45 | Kalroth | Gnarfoz: http://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steam/publicstats/global_traffic.png?v=02-12-2016-22 its global traffic |
| 20:38.54 | Gnarfoz | ok! |
| 20:38.59 | zenzelezz | he linked a picture, ask for the source if you want the details |
| 20:39.00 | Gnarfoz | now we're getting somewhere. :P |
| 20:39.06 | Gnarfoz | that's basically what I did |

| 23:24.45 | Amarande | wow, doesn't seem like my d3 build has gotten any weaker over patches, either :) |
| 23:24.46 | Amarande | http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Amarande-1330/hero/31702599 |
| 23:29.19 | nevcairiel | builds dont get weaker, but the baseline strength of all classes get higher and higher everytime |
| 23:29.27 | nevcairiel | in recent times, its 10-20 GR level per season |
| 23:31.30 | FireSiku|Sleep | Yeah. Also, if you play alone, they nerfed the health of mobs in GRs to reduce the gap between solo and 4player. |
| 23:31.37 | Amarande | unless you play fotm, in which case you're likely to get hit with a nerf bat at the end of season |
| 23:31.55 | FireSiku | Delsere is going to be hit SO HARD at the end of this season |
| 23:31.57 | Amarande | whereas this kinda flies under the radar since it's just a logically selected build rather than a theorycrafted niche one :) |
| 23:32.22 | FireSiku | 3 support + Delsere shouldnt be a thing. But I think they're going to nerf the globe spawning abilities, this is what makes all of it possible. |
| 23:32.38 | Amarande | also, what's this new Kanai Cube thing |
| 23:32.40 | Amarande | it's been a while |
| 23:32.45 | Amarande | this wasn't a thing when I was playing last |
| 23:32.50 | FireSiku | Its like the D2 Horadric Cube. |
| 23:33.00 | FireSiku | Also you can extract legendaries and use their effects without equipping them. |
| 23:33.16 | Amarande | where do you get this wonder? :) |
| 23:33.20 | FireSiku | You get one additional Weapon, Armor and Jewelry effect. |
| 23:33.46 | FireSiku | In Act 3 Adventure, there's a "Ruins of Schecheron", go there. |
| 23:33.52 | FireSiku | Also, I completely butchered that name |
| 23:34.36 | Amarande | I'm surprised how well the HD3000 is performing in D3, too |
| 23:34.42 | Amarande | I always thought this was a pretty graphically intensive game |
| 23:35.38 | Amarande | actually, wonder if that's part of the reason Blizz wants to hike requirements for Legion |
| 23:35.46 | Amarande | so they can make fights more graphically intensive without the inevitable problem |
| 23:36.35 | Amarande | (heck, I've already heard of cases where raiders with low end pc's and laptops ended up standing in fire ... not because they sucked at the game, but because apparently on occasion if you were on the lowest graphics settings said "fire" was not even visible :|) |
