Brain region to immune system: I am root. Immune system: Yes you are, my bad. or I'm going to call bullshit on that. Put your arms up and prepare for phagocytosis.

Now if only the immune system was open source and not some binary blob we can only interfaced with by giving it fake targets.

  It is open source. You can go ahead and download the human genome. You just can't run it because of a lack of efficient simulation, and unlike human-created code the code is both obfuscated and lacks clear separation of intents.

    yeah its a code base millions of years old consisting of spaghetti code with no comments written in a turring tarpit of a language that compiles directly to hardware with ridiculous compile times

      Yeah, every time someone says I need to believe in God, I tell them that I want to believe, if only to get there and punch them in the face for creating such bullshit :D

        To be fair he was under a crunch. He delivered the whole project in a week.

        She did it in one sprint without agile development tools or user feedback.

        Did this improve the User Experience?
        failwhaleshark 5y ago
        It's a simulation. Should I ask her to hit the reset button and try again to see if 2 sprints makes it any better?

        still an amazing delivery. He did it literally from scratch, in one week, and that week included a break on the 7th day. Must be a programming god.

        In six days. He rested on the seventh day.

        They actually took a day off. Maybe they should have used the 7th day for UAT and a bug hunt.

      Let's not forget all of the endogenous retroviruses (ERVs). Turing*? Does it have capitalization and punctuation though?

  The GPL makes this "binary" vs "source" distinction by talking about the "preferred form for making changes". Well, the binary blob of DNA happens to be also be the source! Feel free to publish your genome under an open source license =)

  It's totally open source. You just have to learn arcane, out of date methods for interacting with it. Kind of like someone addressing Y2K by knowing Cobol.

    RCS, CVS, or UUCP?

      You've exceeded my knowledge of coding suitable to attempt to crack a joke. Maybe you could supply me programmer-speak equivalents of: 1. Fasting 2. Dietary restrictions 3. Sleep hygiene 4. Exercise 5. Actual hygiene 6. Spartanism

  It's open source if you git clone the adaptive part and put it on Github. There's just a bunch of IP restrictions on your own genes because plutocracy. Apache license then? I lost the compiler though, so it might as well be a binary amoebic blob, but I hear you can throw mRNA at the API to teach it new tricks.
