    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

      You’re forgetting that on the internet if someone doesn’t know something, then it must be unknowable. “It’s basically magic” boils down to “I personally don’t know how this works”.
