How to improve my sex-appeal with Java-programs ???

Thread view: 
Eliot Coweye - 25 Nov 2005 09:17 GMT
Everytime I approach a girl, she'll just say "nerd" and kick me into my
balls. This is bad and painful.

So please tell me, HOW can I improve my sex-appeal with a good Java
program?

Perhaps program yourself a simulated girl.
It won't get you anywhere near real women, ..but
you may have to settle for a simulation.

Well, google seems to be screwing up again from the links but not from the
search, so I'll just post the parts here.

---------[1]----------

When you think about it, most engineers are probably girl-less.

As a software engineer, when I would go to parties I would NEVER EVER admit
to being an engineer.  The moment I did, the wall-flower geeks would all
show up (all guys) trying to start conversations like "what do you think
about the new pentium" and all the women would run from the room screaming
with their arms in the air.

I realized very young that I was part of a sad population who, taken as an
aggregate, related better to machines than people.  A seething world of
Dilberts.

---------[2]----------

(Responding to "Obviously the parties you go to are filled with losers.
software engineering is a respected profession.")

My response:
The respect for the profession does not matter in the least: why on earth
would it?

The medical professions are well respected, but doctors are even bigger
losers.

I have friends who are doctors and I refused to go to their parties anymore.
It's all this posturing and affected speech patterns.

My wife, myself, and one other were the only three non-doctors at an
enormous Chinese dinner table in Chinatown, Boston.  All the 12 others were.
We took turns ordering for food for all to share.  The doctors were all
trying to impress each other with the esoteric Chinese dishes they knew of
that wasn't on the menu.

For example, one was something called "boiled sliced chicken".  f.cking
gross: you take a chicken, sans feathers, boil it whole complete with all
internal organs, and then slice it.  Basically every slice is a chicken
anatomy lesson.  The head is served as well complete with smokey boiled
eyes.

Basically this how the nite ended: My moo shi was gone.  My wife's spicy
green beans were gone.  My non-doc friend's crispy orange beef, gone.  What
was left?  All the whack job esoteric non-menu sh.t that the doctors all
wanted to impress each other with.  The boiled sliced chicken was left
nearly untouched.

So you'd like to evade a void? No problem. Listen up...

First things first: get in super.Shape. Next: all your URLs should be created
with protocol "female", same with URI schemes. As a consequence, you'll notice
that your GeneralPath will lead you into Area(s) populated heavily with public
class Women.

Secondly, as the Window of opportunity tends to be very narrow, don't lose
Focus! Make sure that a lot of instances of public class Woman have
FocusTraversalPolicy set on you.

Thirdly, implement as much Listeners as possible (public class Women like being
listened to). Then you have to establish a Connection (some PreparedStatement
might come in handy), followed by Identity. Remember that Naming.lookup() is a
great ice breaker.

After a while, you have to broaden the IdentityScope. Visit some KeyFactory and
then exchange your public Keys. Don't think you're home free, though. GC also
comes with the package. You'll also have to learn to be a good Observer. Your
Observable will like that very much.

Further more, the trick is to use a long, Long or Big* member (field). Put it to
work in an inner Socket, preferably doing it safely (SSLSocket). Catch all the
Exceptions in all the OutputStream(s) unless you explicitly want child
Processes. Moreover, don't rely on your average BasicStroke, you have to come up
with some versatile method(s). Extending the built-in Socket(s) with something
like Suckit(s) might also impress some public class Woman, but some don't like
using MulticastSocket(s). Speaking of which, allways check the .getPreferred*()
beforehand. Otherwise you might have to deal with nasty Throwables, like
IllegalAccessError. Also take into account that NoSuchMethodError means
NoSuchMethodError (same for NoSuchFieldError and the analogous Exceptions).
Having dealt with all that, make sure that you close all the necessary ports on
your firewall, because InterruptedExceptions tend to be very destructive (plus
your Reference will become a SoftReference (i.e. your RoundingMode will switch
from UP to DOWN) for an indefinite period of time).

Sooner or later you'll have to realize that the best you can do is to make your
instance of public class Woman final and static. It's not unusual that in the
process you also make it private, though protected might also work in some
cases. Of course, you'd have to say goodbye to Swing for as long as you both
shall live.

The most common problem is with the Preference API, restructure it,
extend AbstractPreferences and add commong preferences with that of the
other Girl-JVM, consider using commons implementation.
Still wondering what proportion of girl-JVM is geek-JVM. In my
experience Girl-JVMs have shown notably heavy GC on Tech stuffs in
heap. Whenever boy-JVM makes remote call most of the time is spent on
GC (getting rid of caller). Tried Parallel CMS but in vain.

Then you probably haven't seen all the prior lame attempts at this over the
years.  Repeat posts in usenet are not bad things.  But the horse does die
repeatedly, and Chris is right.

Enough is enough.  It is /not/ a requirement that someone must google
relentlessly for an answer before posting in usenet.  Newsgroups are for
discussions.  Discussions do /not/ necessitate prior research.  If you are
bothered by someone asking a question without taking time to look something
up, simply do not respond.

   Lookup genetic programming.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_programming
http://www.cs.ucl.ac.uk/research/genprog/gp2faq/gp2faq.html

   What you'll want to do is to programmatically enter in every strategy
you've tried at hooking up with a girl. You'll need to have some metric for
measuring success, and enter those in for each strategy as well. Then run
one step of simulation (i.e. one generation) so that the strategies will
have mutated slightly, with the strategies that have performed the best
mutating the least (thus, on average, your strategies have become "better").

   Examine what strategies were produced, and go out and try them. Measure
their success, come back and enter in their scores, and progress another
generation. Repeat until you are satisfied with the level of success you are
receiving.

   The advantages of genetic programming are that it's a viable tool for
when you have no idea where to start looking for a good strategy.

   The disadvantages are that typically it takes a very long before the
best strategy "evolves" from your initial pool of random strategies.

That's not quite how it works.  All strategies are equally eligible for  
mutation, regardless of how good they are, and there's every chance the  
next generation will be worse on average than the previous one.  
Eventually however, if your selection strategy and fitness function are  
good, the quality of strategies in your population should improve and will  
tend towards an optimum (there are no guarantees though).

Genetic programming is just one application of genetic algorithms (or more  
generally, evolutionary algorithms).

There are two pre-requisites.  You need a way of encoding a potential  
solution and you need a way to rank partial solutions.  The approach is  
only really applicable in situations where a good approximate solution is  
acceptable as it may never find the optimal solution.  It can be very slow  
but is typically orders of magnitude faster than a brute force search of  
the solution space for complex problems.

   Really? I thought a typical implementation would try to preserve the
qualities of the most-fit strategy found. One way was the mutate the good
strategies less (that's the one I mentioned above), and the other was to
generate more "offsprings" from the good strategies.

Sorry, I misunderstood you (I was considering only mutation and not  
reproduction by cross-over) and was wrong to state that mutation occurs  
uniformly across a population.  What I meant was that *after* you have  
selected some candidates as the basis of your next generation, they each  
have an equal chance of being mutated.  This is true, for truncation  
selection at least, but doesn't consider that with some selection  
strategies, such as fitness-proportionate selection, a candidate may be  
selected more than once and therefore has more than one equal chance of  
being mutated.

I thought that what you were suggesting was that the mutation probability  
should be adjusted proportionate to the fitness.  You were right, of  
course, about selecting the fittest candidates for reproduction.  Without  
discriminating against weak candidates there is no "natural" selection and  
therefore no pressure for the population to improve.  However, you have to  
be careful not to completely discard weak candidates as they may have  
aspects that don't score highly by themselves but prove useful when  
combined with other material from other candidates.

This is what makes the ranking model so very critical.

In AL (my /enormous/ interest since 1981) the creatures have a similar
ranking model, but IMO one that is far simpler to conceive.  If they survive
the battles against the environment (weather, food, predators) then they
pass along their genetic information.  This embodies the ranking.  The
"weak" candidates are not necessarily discarded, as they can often survive
long enough to move to a more hospitable section, or have the predators
around them evolve away from being interested in them for example.  The weak
candidates can then once in a while evolve into something far more
interesting---something that would have been unlikely had we been left with
the very best and brightest of the lot from the beginning.
