Maybe, but don't forget that 20% of members were created as sock puppets, for the soapbox.

Interesting! Without doing that math, that would mean that ~0.0001 percent might actually know what they are doing. Who wants to do a statistical analysis of CP to determine the percentage of people who know what they are doing and those that are just here to pick their brains.
I want to say 10/90, but it is probably closer to 1/99.

If I'm to believe these guys, there should be (or should have been) around 26.4M developers worldwide in 2019.
So nearly 2/3 have an account here?
Yeah, I think there might be a few redundant ones.
I know: Let's see who's actually active. Everyone who reads this message, upvote it. I'll post the total in a few days...

That is referring to your total Reputation Points, of course.
How do they even count programmers? Schooling? What about self-taught (a lot). Employment? What about those who do it for pleasure alone?
I feel so used - exploiting my post to bugger the lounge for a surreptitious reputation boosts.*

Don't worry, I'll diligently subtract whatever miserly few points I already had when starting this.

I upvoted. Please count me because I rarely count and am often picked last.

Ok. Total after 17h and 43m: 1.
See? Not only do you count, but you're unique on top of that.

you'd think with digital TV's they would be less error prone.

My coworker's BF was in a room last week with someone who has been diagnosed with CV, and my coworker visited her BF last weekend, and my coworker and I have been in close proximity this week carpooling.
So we shall see!
My main concern is that we were carpooling to a couple study groups, one on Tuesday, one yesterday, and there are elderly people (older than me!!!) that also attend these study groups, so fingers crossed that we didn't accidentally infect people that are more vulnerable to this thing.

It's ok - I have a condom over my monitor and I've blocked up the fans in the case, so I can't catch it from you.

Quote: I have a condom over my monitor
Must be a very large item. Was it for personal use?

Regrettably, it's a very small monitor.

Someone sent me the genome for Covid-19 in a WhatsApp message last week. It's shown here: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 isolate Wuhan-Hu-1, co - Nucleotide - NCBI
Now I'm no geneticist, but I understand that the 'code' there is a complete description of the virus, and substituting the 4 possible options of nucleotide for 2 binary bits means you can represent it succinctly in a few KB. Can that really be right? So it seems it's perfectly possible to email the real virus around, as long as you've got some machine which can run the code and infect you plugged into your USB port.
Weird really, but then I can fit the DNA sequence of everyone in my office on a USB memory stick these days, and that's weird too.
Regards,
Rob Philpott.
