I mean, I agree with you that lots of women want that, and lots of men too (something I'll never understand), but I don't want to "conquer" and I want a woman who doesn't want to be "conquered" (and I have one, sort of).
My girlfriend still wants to feel claimed somehow, which is also something I don't do.
She's a free woman with a will of her own and if she decides she wants to leave me or be with another man that's her choice.
As far as I'm concerned we're complete equals in the relationship and no one owns anyone.
In the Netherlands (and probably everywhere) we have "help moms" at school.
Simply moms who voluntarily help around at (elementary) school.
Back in the 90's my dad lost his job and became a stay-at-home dad.
No problem, since my mom also had a good job.
Since my dad had some time on his hands he became a "help mom" at school.
No kidding, even letters from school started with "Dear help moms,"
A "help dad" was simply unthinkable.
Needless to say, my dad got some hate for it, like he wouldn't be a "real man".
So for two or three years my dad was a house-husband and "help mom" and my mom was the provider.
Both worked very hard for their entire career though, my dad started his own business after that and both could retire very early.
Those are my role models so you can see how I got things backwards (although from my point of view it's the rest of the world that's backwards)

To claim your prize, is just that: a prize. It no way implies the woman is inferior but rather to be valued. I mean, I'm sure some folks twist the notion. But that's what humans do.
Sander Rossel wrote: Both worked very hard for their entire career though, my dad started his own business after that and both could retire very early. The good news is, we totally agree here. If the woman is like a doctor and the dude garbage man so what. A woman can still have a career and take the feminine role in the relationship.
I guess makes me a modern caveman.

I'm interested in this.
Recently wondered if my class should be named "BaseMessage" or "MessageBase" and found a slight preference for the latter.
Same with enums, is it MessageTypes(Enum), MessageType(Enum), Messages(Enum) or Message(Enum)?
I believe Messages.TheType was Microsoft's preference and consistent with .NET.
However, I can't seem to find such recommendations in your link, only gender neutral speech

(You think the way I do ... or I think the way you do).
MessageBase. (TextBox derives from TextBoxBase).
TypeOfMessage or MessageCode (ew). (a message can only be of one type at a time. I leave "Type" to classes. "Message" is a container).

I always like types to be singular.
Variables can be plural for lists and the like.
An enum is usually a list of things, but the Type should still be singular.
msg.setMessageType(MessageType msgType)
I have recently come to hate booleans and think they should all be replaced with more descriptive enums.

When are the names not descriptive? Especially in comparison to other variables?
|
|
|
|
|
When I read code that looks like:
DoIt(false, true, false, false, false);
Then I have to look at the signature and line up the parameters. The parameter names could become an enum type with better names then true/false
|
|
|
|

That sounds like a problem with the method not the parameters. You would of course have the same problem with the following.
DoIt(1, 2, 3, 4, 5);
And at least some code UIs provide ways to document what the parameter names are.

I don't care for that.
A database table is set. It makes no sense unless it is a set. So using the plural does not add anything to the meaning.
However a database table can contain sets (so a set of sets.) For example a table would have one or more phones for each customer. Thus a plural is appropriate so for example 'CustomerPhones'.
And if one is insisting that every table must be a plural then there is no way to name the example above.
I believe the same applies to an enum.
Little more dicey when attempting to name a collection.

Do they have the dirt on it? Or does it involve butterflies?

Yes, butterflies are mentioned. Strangely enough not as the 'butterfly effect', even though it comes up in connection with chaos systems.
The video is worth watching.

No, I am not.

You're unnaturally interested in it, then?

You can be interested in a way that goes with nature, or you can be interested in a way that goes against nature.

That is binary of course and not analog thinking.

NO. I am not interested in anything some pretentious SFB tells me I should be.

Quantum computing is analog while in it's indeterminate state (IMO); tweaking it until you get the right "flips".

And how do you know when it's right?

When I started my IT studies, they were still teaching analog computers in the EE department of the Norwegian Technical University. I believe analog computers were taught until around 1980.
In the 1970s, one of the professors, J.G. Balchen, won a certain international reputation from his simulation models of cod farming in Sognefjorden (Norway's longest fjord). This model was entirely analog: He could feed the cod, harvest it, or try the effect of temperature changes by turning various dials, and watch changes in the curves on the oscilloscope.

I'm seriously considering buying that thing. I really enjoyed programming analog computers in college, and though I have little need for solving differential equations these days, who knows what may come up in the future? One of the machines we had in college came off a Navy ship; it was used for missile guidance. All of the op amps were vacuum tube types, and the failure rate was horrendous! Happily the ones we used in class were desktop models which used transistors.
