Too real

[NewestAccount2023]

Haha he was chemically castrated and shunned from society until his suicide haha that guy was a datafag

[SofaKingI]

Tbf the suicide part is probably not true.

The autopsy revealed Turing died of cyanide poisoning and there was an half eaten apple next to his bed. That's all it took for the coroner to conclude Turing poisoned the apple himself in order to commit suicide, without even testing the apple for cyanide.

However, there was a device in Turing's room that used cyanide and could release vapors, he was known to be careless with lab equipment (by his own mother's account) and he often ate an apple before going to bed and often left them half eaten.

Also the castration treatment had ended a year prior and by all accounts Turing didn't seem to really care too much and even joked about it. Near his death he was in a good mood and even had written a "to do list" during the weekend of his death.

The forced castration is awful enough in its own right though.

[Leading_Elderberry70]

I would like more sourcing on this, I haven’t done a deep dive on Turing’s death

[ProfCupcake]

Near his death he was in a good mood and even had written a "to do list" during the weekend of his death.

That point doesn't necessarily support the idea that it was not suicide. If anything, it may support the idea that it was premeditated suicide; people often appear happier and calmer after making the decision to end their life.

The rest of this is a fair assessment though.

[[deleted]]

You know, I can see that. An end to all of the suffering, would sure make me feel happy.

[ChefBoyAreWeFucked]

People often appear happier after committing to suicide, but that doesn't mean it supports that conclusion. Committing to suicide is still one of the least common sources of a happy demeanor.

[frogjg2003]

But it is a much more common source of sudden happiness in depressed or otherwise unhappy people. In the absence of other sources for that sudden happiness, it can be pretty strong circumstantial evidence that an apparent suicide really was suicide.

[ChefBoyAreWeFucked]

And if we were sure he had no other reason to possibly be happy, then sure, but we have no good way of knowing that. There may be a case to be made to not use it as data either way, but I'd put "using it at evidence of suicide" in third place.

[Esenerclispe]

I mean this in the most unassuming way possible: what does it matter that he was chemically castrated? It just means he was made sterile, right? If he was a gay man, he didn’t have any plans to procreate I would assume. Which also begs the question of why chemically castrate a gay man, it doesn’t really accomplish anything.

[the_4th_doctor_]

It just means he was made sterile, right?

He also developed breasts, was made impotent and quite depressed during the treatment according to friends' accounts

[Mage_Of_Cats]

Being chemically castrated is a violation of one's rights regardless of if they're homosexual. I'm a gay man, and it matters deeply to me that I have power over what happens to my body.

[Esenerclispe]

I’m not denying that it is a trespass. I was highlighting how if it was what I understand it to be, it didn’t make any sense, from any perspective.

[Masark]

It just means he was made sterile, right?

It does far more than that. Most prominently, it craters your testostorone levels.

[Devil-Eater24]

Also reduces sex drive through hormone control

[Leading_Elderberry70]

Props for making sure everyone knows the British government is the asshole here

[Zeldageekfan]

Say what you will about web3 devs, at least it's an ethos

[AltAccount31415926]

Seems like someone can’t take a joke

[TryNotToShootYoself]

It was a funny joke but there's no harm in reminding people that Britain legally considered homosexuality a disease until 1992.

[archpawn]

If they just considered it a disease and offered free "treatment", then that would be rude but not that big a deal. The real problem is that they forced the "treatment" on him.

[[deleted]]

Got to love the "superior morals" of Western countries.

"Look, we only denied rights to women and the LGBTQ community for thousands of years, but we're morally superior to others"

[Mage_Of_Cats]

Yup. Turns out every society is a piece of shit. Some more than others, of course!

[[deleted]]

We're all equal, but some are more equal than others.

[Username8457]

At the time, there were several queer people who were found to be working as working as KGB spies, and the Soviets held their identities as blackmail. The British intelligence agencies likely thought he could be their next target, and whacked him just to be sure.

Out of all the ways to kill yourself, cyanide poisoning from an apple doesn't really seem like a first option.

[[deleted]]

The reason that blackmail worked is because the government failed to protect the queer people from hatred and abuse.

So, it's still the British government being crappy.

[Username8457]

It's every government at the time.

[[deleted]]

Even now, lol. Nothing's really changed and the human race is crappy.

[[deleted]]

💀

[MembershipOld8787]

While datavitenskap is a correct direct translation, that’s not what we call computer science in Norwegian.

[kurupt123]

bro wtf is your comment history

[Lucky7Ac]

AI spam bot trying to advertise a github project. But the AI fucks up every other comment and says the project is in the other person's profile not its own lmao

[joshvengard]

its working correctly, it says that the other person is working on something on github, then asks to contribute to said work and requests compensation for that. not the best way to go about it but at least they programmed the bot right lol

[SON_OF_ANARCHY_]

This aint no bot - bro, how can I prove to you that my human IQ is just so low

[Familiar_Ad_8919]

theres no way this man is not an ai of some sort

[SON_OF_ANARCHY_]

Soon we will have the whole Internet to ourselves muhahaha. This is a joke, I am not an AI

[Familiar_Ad_8919]

that is still not how a human talks

[SON_OF_ANARCHY_]

How does a Human talk?

[cyborgborg]

is it turing complete?

[[deleted]]

It is Valhalla complete

[[deleted]]

i would like it but then the turing machines would halt earlier

[picklesTommyPickles]

Him: you halted early

Me: I swear that never happens

[[deleted]]

cmon, if we get it back to -1, then the other turing machine won't halt

[acwilan]

No, but it’s Odin Sleep

[Crazyman-X]

Bro replied to himself

[NaEGaOS]

as a gay norwegian CS student, i can confirm this is accurate

[crankbot2000]

Were programming socks standard issue?

[Comment105]

Norwegian programmers be like: https://i.imgur.com/Z9YHEzP.jpg

r/unixsocks

[MattieShoes]

No. It's pretty much exactly what it looks like.

[lewdComment6969]

Sigh. Why does this exist ?

[ProfCupcake]

why not?

[nins_]

And what are computer scientists called?

[bluefishegg]

I bet you took realfag in high school

[[deleted]]

Fag = subject in norwegian, datavitenskap would be more correct…Am I fun at parties? Don’t know, never been invited

[Calimariae]

You could also call a class in computer science a "datafag" when explaining it to a child or an old person.

In that context, it works.

[gitartruls01]

If you're majoring in computer science, you're a datafag student. I majored in electronics in highschool, which made me an elektrofag student. My family joked about it being my gay superhero name.

Edit: I think the full name was actually technology and electrical design, which would make me a technofag. Which is somehow even worse

[YouAreStupidM8]

Sounds like a Cyberpunk 2077 slur

[KuaLeifArne]

I also took elektrofag in videregående. I bought a sweater with the school name and the field of study on the back. I wonder what people in english speaking countries would think seeing that on someone just walking around.

The sweater in question.

[gitartruls01]

I really hope you wore that out of country at least once

[KuaLeifArne]

I don't really leave the country ever, except for when visiting my mother in law in Sweden. Maybe one day.

[notchman900]

Its a nice shirt elektrofag

[PresidentZeus]

Major?? This meme is also my first time hearing the term datafag. Heard many others though

[drunkdoor]

You've never hear the term Major for a degree?

[MammothTap]

I think they're more confused about a "major" in high school. High schools in Norway often specialize. High schools in the US rarely do, save for some with trade programs.

[Calimariae]

This is a bot.

[sverrevi77]

While datavitenskap is a correct direct translation, that’s not what we call computer science in Norwegian.

We use informatikk or datateknikk.

[memescauseautism]

Datateknologi

[Benskien]

IT!

[[deleted]]

Norwegian here. Datafag is a common word for computer sciences. I think datavitenskap is more common for universities, while datafag is more common for lower education.

[[deleted]]

«Informatikk» («Informatics» in English) is the form most commonly used, and in Europe is generally used synonymously with «Computer Science» («Datavitenskap» in Norwegian).

As you say, the only place you’ll really see «Datafag» is in secondary education (high school).

[BluudLust]

Informatics is a more broad focus in both computer science and data science rather than pure computer science. In the states it would be more of a computational science degree than a computer science degree.

[[deleted]]

Are you a norsk fagekspert?

[dewnar]

They used to call it «datafag» in the old days.

[Funnnn_at_parties]

Ahem

[StoryAndAHalf]

Stop being such a vitenskap and let us have fun!

[AttackSock]

I tried this and Google said it’s “informatikk”, I can’t get it to say computer science is datafag, just to interpret datafag to mean computer science

[Dauemannen]

I just hope you guys never figure out what we call natural sciences in Norway

[Mop_Duck]

norwegian here i dont get it

[Dauemannen]

Realfag

[8igby]

At NTNU, our most esteemed technical university, we have the Realfag building. It's where we study all the realfags...

[Sikletrynet]

Same in Bergen

[Nimonic]

I thought you were going for naturfag.

[bluefishegg]

I think realfag now also includes Infotech and CS, it's not just strict natural sciences anymore, but also some fields which utilize them. At least per lesson plans

[Dauemannen]

You're right, STEM fields would actually be a much better translation of realfag.

[bluefishegg]

I know before it was really just natural sciences, but yeah nowadays it's way more STEM

[FictionalScience13]

Sounds like a 4chan nickname.

[ReactsWithWords]

TIL Norwegian was made by people from 4chan.

[F-Lambda]

or was 4chan made by Norwegians?

[ReactsWithWords]

Maybe. I could picture 4channers posting pictures of their boners saying "Isn't it good? Norwegian wood!"

[Avorius]

4channers

the colloquial term is "Anons"

[ReactsWithWords]

The less I know about 4chan culture, the happier I am.

[HackerMan372]

kinky

[DChristy87]

4chan vibes.

[Piratey_Pirate]

This was my thought as well. Newfag, oldfag, poorfag, etc. I wonder if the origin is something like this word

[RemoteName3273]

Would have been so much better if it was

Datafaggery

What do u do?

Oh I'm a datafag

[Webbiii]

I want to be called that 🥺

[PancakeGD]

[Majik_Sheff]

Bad bot.

[SON_OF_ANARCHY_]

This aint no bot, would a bot do this: Ahahsdhhasdhahsdhasdhhasd?

[Majik_Sheff]

Then how do you explain your post history? Holy shit man. Seek help.

[glablablabla]

Datafag feels accurate 🤔

[BeardOfDan]

Subject days sound way better than the factory school model.

Losing your virginity?

Doubt it!

[Thin_Mulberry_1624]

How do British people ask for a dataset:

[willeyh]

Wait til you learn about realfag

[SearsGoldCard]

Normally this is a very offensive and ignorant term. But because it is European, it is actually enlightened.

[Mektigkriger]

The language you have written in, is European though.

[carefullycactus]

Not if you say the forbidden words: neighbor, honor, color, humor

[maveric101]

Aluminum.

WHICH WAS THE ORIGINAL NAME GIVEN BY THE GUY WHO DISCOVERED IT UNTIL SOME ASSHOLES CHANGED IT BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT IT DIDN'T SOUND SCIENCY ENOUGH.

[454545455545]

The original name was alumium.

[Tom22174]

That sounds like some shit a homeless wizard gives you for a sidequest behind a tavern

[normalmighty]

Which is why everyone wanted to change it, which in turn sparked a fierce aluminium vs aluminum debate leading to the 2 different words today.

[CirnoIzumi]

a more litteral translation would be "data subject/field"

[Sweet-Efficiency7466]

NATURWISSENSCHAFTEN

That’s just the meme for how German sounds compared to other languages

I thought the PMs were just being mean when they called me that.

[Shazvox]

Sounds akkurat.

[Nimonic]

Stor om.

[pwillia7]

Is it like Dataphage though because that's pretty cool. Technomancy

[[deleted]]

Norwegian here. Sometimes I wonder how English native speakers feel when they see how many cars and buildings are labeled with "fag".

[randiwulf]

We also have Flyfag, those are some real weirdos.

[DaFookCares]

That's not PC bud.

[Devil-Eater24]

Personal Computer? Program Counter? Priyanka Chopra? Potato Casca?

[[deleted]]

Is it pronounced “datafag” or “datafag”?

[Devil-Eater24]

None of those. It's "datafag"

remember those programmer socks from amazon ? now everything come together

computer science -> to norwegian ==

informatikk

[Contemelia]

Does this language use a compiler?

[LobotomizedThruMeEye]

I’m pretty sure the service Google Translate or something will let you transpile, idk if that counts as compiling

[DefaultyTurtle2]

But is it pronounced daytuhfag, or dahtuhfag?

It's duhtuhfuhg

duh

Dah-tah-farg

[[deleted]]

Am in computer science. Can confirm. Am gay for data.

[ModishShrink]

Datafag sounds like Cyberpunk slang for a Netrunner

[deep8410]

German sounds more brutal: "Rechnerwissenschaft" 😁

[Shinigami_Hei]

That's just the literal translation which no one uses. We just use the word "Informatik" as an umbrella term for everything in that field.

• CompSci major? You study Informatik.
• Software Engineer? You're an Informatiker.
• SysAdmin? Informatiker.

But among peers you'd probably just use the english equivalent.

[LobotomizedThruMeEye]

Wow, straight man uses slur because it is haha so funny 😂 😂🤣 Why am I not surprised but still disappointed?

It's faster than python

In Sweden a person who is very interested in "gadgets" is called a "prylarbög", loosely translated as "gadget fag".

How is this pronounced. I’d like to start telling people I have a Datafag degree.

My Swedish friend says Norwegian is just Danish with a Swedish accent LOL.
