Pretty tasteless array name in there: `for hoe in hoes:` which exposes the base mentality of the coder.

Yes, this codebase is old, because currently you'd use "for thot in thots:"

Well, it's probably more showing of a sense of humor.

  I'm pretty liberal about stuff like this and I honestly think it's pretty tasteless also. I've often said that the sexism issue in tech is overblown (due to various agendas at work) but when you see shit like this (especially in the context of Tinder, a dating app), it's just hard to deny :/

    A woman who's signed up for an app just to get fucked by a stranger is, well, a whore. It's right there in the dictionary. The only thing I lament is the non-existence of a similar term to describe men, because promiscuity is not only negative when women do it, of course.

      Do you think this of all dating apps?

  Both. The problem is that a tasteless joke is usually worse than no joke at all.

Almost as distasteful as his use of tabs and camelcase in Python.

Hoe by now is genderneutral, so who cares. But it implies payment of any kind, so its very inprecise. But i guess from someone who does get laid as often as a graduate data scientist - any deal is better payment, thus anyone having a better deal - aka any deal, is a hoe. Virginity equals moral superpowers. Still, i wonder what sort of pictures the dataset could correlate if convulated with the swipe quota. And if you could post those pictures as tinder profiles, generating a plattform where neural Nets pose as unavailable gods and goddeses of beauty, driving a generation of swingers into depression. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mv43HXcRhw4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mv43HXcRhw4

  That kind of analysis (though not the neural net thing...I think...) has likely been done internally by Tinder. It certainly has been done over at OKCupid: https://theblog.okcupid.com/the-mathematics-of-beauty-51bd25ae9a75 https://theblog.okcupid.com/the-mathematics-of-beauty-51bd25... https://theblog.okcupid.com/your-looks-and-your-inbox-8715c0f1561e https://theblog.okcupid.com/your-looks-and-your-inbox-8715c0... https://theblog.okcupid.com/race-and-attraction-2009-2014-107dcbb4f060 https://theblog.okcupid.com/race-and-attraction-2009-2014-10...

    Thanks for the links. Sorry, reply was not related to your post.

  Who cares anyway? Drug junkies and drug dealers on the meat-market, trying to hang nice drapes over everything related to it. If you call it diffrent, the uglyness will go away or at least be kept at bay. Controll the conversation over it and the reality goes away, what a laughing stock of a concept.

tasteless enough that I wouldn't hire anyone that gave me this code to look at before an interview
- louithethrid 9y ago
  So politcal correct code is mandatory. Oh boy. So if turing himself would appear at your doorstep and his code examples would be riddle with gay insider jokes and wordplay, you wouldnt hire him? Because, profesional behaviour beets a mind that recombines and is flexible any day? Good thing that relationship is bi-directional- unconventional creative guys are not searching for a job at your company.

    If political correctness means not making demeaning jokes about women in your code, then yes, it's absolutely mandatory. Even if you were the most sexist business owner, it should still be obvious that behavior like this invites sexual harassment lawsuits in a professional setting. And there are plenty of people who manage to be both unconventional and creative without making a juvenile joke that amounts to little more than slut shaming women for using a dating app.

      My open source code is riddled with jokes of all kinds on all kinds of hairless monkeys. Demanding dignity you shall have none, because you got none, disserving dignity because you stumble around naked of any - you shall have. And you know- those professionals tend to have a scope-creep when it comes to professionalism. Do not talk about this its offensive, do not talk about that its offensive, do not talk about this invention, it could offend our buisness-partner XY. No, i demand the right to offend. And to be offended. Call me animal names. I prefer that much more to that mental-graveyard of smiles and conservation. Insult is preferable to insulation. Always. If the church still had power, it would be insulted by da-vincis drawing claiming that humans could handcraft angel-wings. And those intestines- what a insult. And that darwin guy, claiming we where ape-decendants. Insult upon insult. How can any professional gentleman take this kind of talk into there mouth and not demean himself. Outrageous. Take your silk-sheated scissors and censor somehwere else. Also sorry, but the whole process of human sexual interaction is demeaning, always was always will be. You have drug dealers and drug buyers, trades that go bust, and the attempt to cram the whole messy affair into contracts that should outlast the varous value-curves the trade-goods in the relationship perform. Its hillarious and hellirious. To not joke about this existential absurdity is to not be a selfaware human.
