This is male centric as the female’s I know in the spectrum have different interests generally speaking.
True, but what would be common interests of female autists? Biology? Tumblr?
is this an engineering meme?
Where's Fallout? I fucken swear a quarter of the fan base is autistic, the other quarters are trans, fascists, and Slavs.
Star Wars!
When my son joined Cub Scouts, we went to our first big Cub event, some big potluck dinner, and I sat next to a kid with a Star Wars t-shirt. I love Star Wars, saw the first movie in the theater, and have been a fan my whole life, so I asked, "You a Star Wars fan?" And he started talking, and so did I.
We were having a nice conversation about Star Wars, when his mother came up and said "Are you talking about Star Wars again? What did we say about that? You can't just start talking to random strangers about Star Wars!"
I responded, "No, you don't understand, I asked him about it. I love Star Wars, too," and the kid looked really happy that I'd defended him.
His mom said, "You don't understand, he has Asbergers, he'll NEVER stop talking about it," which didn't sound so bad to me, I had lots to talk about with this kid, he was a big fan, and knew his stuff.
We parted, but I've wondered ever since if I have Asperger's about Star Wars, too. Probably Music, too.
I relate to others, but isn't the Rubix cube quite common in STEM people? Dunno what that has to do with autism
there is an objectively higher number of autistic people in stem, so both can be true

I prefer the actual C successor to the marriage of flesh of OCaml and C. It's actually good at game development, not just at rolling out countless of engines.
I see a flag. I like flags. Especially the Japanese flags. I don't specifically care for Japan, but the flag is one of my favourites. I prefer flags with low entropy: so I wrote a script once that ranks the nations flags by entropy so I could quantify my preference. Thanks for letting me infodump a bit.
Edit: Due to people aski g for it: here is the top ten of my ranking:
Nations' flag entropy ranking (n=208).

Here's how I defined the entropy value for each flag:
def color_weighted_spectral_entropy(image):
b_channel, g_channel, r_channel = cv2.split(image)
# Calculate spectral entropy for each channel
def channel_spectral_entropy(channel):
f_transform = np.fft.fft2(channel)
f_shifted = np.fft.fftshift(f_transform)
magnitude_spectrum = np.abs(f_shifted)
if np.sum(magnitude_spectrum) > 0:
normalized = magnitude_spectrum / np.sum(magnitude_spectrum)
else:
normalized = magnitude_spectrum
# Entropy calculation with color channel weighting
epsilon = 1e-10
entropy = -np.sum(normalized * np.log2(normalized + epsilon))
return entropy
weighted_entropy = (
0.333 * channel_spectral_entropy(b_channel) +
0.333 * channel_spectral_entropy(g_channel) +
0.333 * channel_spectral_entropy(r_channel)
)
return float(weighted_entropy)
"White_field" is just an array that holds zeroes. I use this as a sanity check. Code is on github. I can send DM to whomever is interested. I guess it can also be searched for.
What is it about the flag of Japan that you like so much?
Simplicity I suppose. Colour combination. In my opinion if i can draw it from memory it's a good flag.
Two colors, with a basic shape centered? I guess it's ok.
“Welcome to fun with flags!”
I also love flags, flags are so beautiful (except the flag of Haiti, fuck you Haiti with your MS paint looking flag)
Their previous version was indeed without the coat of arms. Much cooler I think. During that time the Liechtenstein flag was identical, but they (Liechtenstein) changed it upon discovery.
Well you gotta share that ranking now...
And that script. I'm curious how you implemented it.

I love that you have multiple people replying to you asking for technical details on how you ranked the flag entropy. This is how you know that you are amongst your people here <3
How are you defining the entropy of a flag?
i'd define it as size of an svg file that represents the flag, since more complex flag -> more fundamental elements (rectangles, circles) needed -> bigger file size -> more entropy.
Subtracting it's normalized negentropy from 1
How do you rate entropy? Is the script open source so we can see it?
I tried different definitions and settled on spectral entropy. This one uses fourier transform and (I think) this takes the spacial relation of the pixels into account, as opposed to the more common Shannon definition. I'd like to share it but am not sure on how to do that: were I to use GitHub I would doxx myself.
I see, thank you that's interessing;
Btw there is gitlab as github alternative but i think that making another gh account is just better then. Another solution is making here a spoiler with the code in it
....and what is the stack ranked result?
That really depends on the algorithm used. Ideally it takes colous and spacial information into account. I'll keep you posted on the ranking.

C and Rust mentioned in one meme? Be more careful to not cause a ruckus next time.

What do the cat ears have to do with Maxwell's equations
No idea. Cat ears seem to be more popular with computer science people, should've put them on the Rust logo instead.

Wow, the precision with which this struck me is concerning. I'm really, incredibly autistic at all times aren't I?
Tylenol sure is a hell of a drug
Stupidly large murika style cars are gonna be a no from me dawg
Look at that thing, the bonnet comes up to this stomach!
Not autism approved nu-uh
