You are surely asking the wrong question.
The answer to the right question is: "As far away as you think the stream will reach".

Alternatively, go outside and water the flowers.
That said, standing or sitting is less of the concern. I've had several people of the fairer sex complain how men leave the seat up, particularly when they are guests in the minority.

Behind closed doors, nobody but you should even know whether you were sitting or standing. So the question becomes irrelevant. You do at least close the door, right?
Nobody should have such nasty habits that others can even tell by the state you leave the washroom in.

As long as you're leaving the toilet and seat clean, I don't care.
And if you do, I don't see that it's anyone's business how you do it.

An anecdotal story that is only remotely related.
Let me prefix this story by acknowledging that I am not very observant...
Several years back, I attended my wife's family association dinner. During the course of the evening, I sauntered off to the men's room. I was appalled by the amount of 'fluids' that covered literally every single toilet seat - and they were all down. I used my foot to lift one seat, did my thing, took a large wad of tissue, cleaned up for the next person and then proceeded to wash my hands. While washing, a young lady walks in and I mustered all of my indignation to show her she was in the wrong room. She smiled at me and I walked out, still casting an evil eye at her. It was only then that it dawned on me as to who was actually in the wrong room.
Rather embarrassingly, I recounted the scene to my wife, who too smiled. Much to my surprise, she said this state of toilet seats in a womens public washroom was not uncommon. I now make a point of specifically using only the mens public washroom. They too are often 'soiled' but never to the extent I observed that one time.
History it the joke the living play on the dead.

I'm thinking about buying a new development PC as I tend to do a little at home on my laptop but thinking about doing more work from home so need a more powerful machine.
It's been years since I bought a desktop and I have no idea where to start or what is good value these days, or what specs to go for. I am thinking 16GB RAM is a must but other than that I have no idea.
Any suggestions?

intel i7
16 GB or more
SSD for OS and programs and an additional 1 TB or more for your data
A reasonable graphics card, sufficient for at least 2 screens on a high resolution
blazingly fast internet
sufficient USB ports
Something like that

Sounds expensive

Sounds like under $1K to me. You, as a developer, are expensive. Don't make yourself wait after your dev box.

I bought my desktop (for home) for around 1K I think, usually I use it for 5-7 years.
The advantage of a desktop rig is that you can split costs by adding more fancy stuff later (and thus split some costs).

I've been building my own PCs since the mid-90's. In fact I have the same exact PC I started with in 1996!
I admit that I have changed some components over the years, like replacing my HD every 2 to 3 years. [Get an SSD, I just did, it's FAST!]
The motherboard, CPU, and RAM have been swapped out every 4 to 5 years. DVD burners and video cards too. Back in the days of floppy drives and multi-card readers -- had to replace them, but not as often. And the case and power supply, had to replace them a few times.
So ... if you ignore that I replaced every single component numerous times, I have that same PC I started with!
I build PCs because I can shop around and get what I want. I do NOT buy top end. The new stuff is highly priced, and last year's model is sufficient to get 5 years out of it.
The initial build is the most expensive, as you're buying everything at once. Since then I don't think I've spent more than $400 USD in a year -- I watch sales and buy when the price is right for me.

I think you should reply to "Wastedtalent" since he's probably more interested in the info

Yeah, I have been building my own development PCs for a few years now. For me the 'sweet spot' seems to be a CPU that is 1 or 2 below the current best, and more memory than you ever expect to use.
Also, one drive for OS and installed programs, and a another for development, etc.

1TB/512MB SSD's cheap enough now, and worth way way more than the i7 (vs say an i5)
spinners are dying tech, and actually less resilient (as well as mile slower) than SSD these days.
