Okay I'm gonna try to translate this one. I think he's basically trying to say six different policy ideas at once, several of them being very specific and most of them being very misinformed.

'Buy everyone a bitcoin'=Fairly self-evident, I think he wants this rebate to be paid in Bitcoin for the usual Bitcoin reasons.
'Start court case into gay labor for poison tap water'=So I think this is related to, in late 2018, Australia's Chief Medical Officer saying kind of out of nowhere that Australia's drinking water is safe from lead poisoning, but if you're concerned then run your tap for about thirty seconds to clean it out--I can find a Queensland newspaper getting really up in arms about this one. The Labor Party had nothing to do with that, though, so he could be talking about something else, or just going conspiracy theory.
'Start fish farming to put back fish stolen'=I can't find anything specific about this, so I'm betting this is an EXTREMELY local issue that this guy is EXTREMELY passionate about.
'Feed the bloody ibis our queensland bird'=The ibis is not Queensland's state bird, the brolga is. The brolga seems to be generally fine, Australia's ibis populations are all over the place, but neither is suffering from a lack of food.
'Or we be all in the bin soon'=Obviously none of these issues are big, but Deb Frecklington's seat is fairly rural, so this is probably a guy from the middle of nowhere that's convinced his very specific observed issues are massive calamities.

They're Australian, and probably older, it's probably just a random insult. But they're also from Queensland, so it's equally likely they have an actual vendetta of some kind against an openly gay Labor member.

That part is definitely the one I understand the least, though, so I could be entirely wrong.

I don't really know enough about code to get what she's trying to do (looks like it's just a flag for odd/even numbers) but not if there is an easier way - is there a joke she was making and dudes are missing it or was she genuinely looking for help and dudes just keep blowing her up?

She basically pulled a really good KenM, but with the goal of getting dudes to mansplain coding to her. Really liking some of the comments that play along coming up with the least efficient ways to do dead simple things.

It�s a hilariously bad way of doing it (manually telling the computer every single number and which is even versus odd) and obviously a joke. But girl can�t code!!!

She posted a really stupid way to determine if a number is even as joke. Basically her algorithm is "check the number against a list of every even and odd number to determine whether it's even or odd".

One common way to solve her issue is to use a modulo, often expressed as the % sign. So when this was suggested later she carried on the bit by stating that she was not looking for percentages of anything.

Antigravitas: Dec 8, 2019; Die Rettung fuer die Landwirte:

Yeah, the problem is that the function has a lot of repeat code, but also if/then slides are really wasteful. Generally, you'd try to use a more efficient approach.

Python code:

def is_even(number: int) -> bool:
    ending_to_even = {
        '0': True,
        '1': False,
        '2': True,
        '3': False,
        '4': True,
        '5': False,
        '6': True,
        '7': False,
        '8': True,
        '9': False
    }
    return ending_to_even[str(number)[-1:]]

See, you only need to look at the last part of a number to deduce whether it is even or not. So you can basically write this implementation in two lines, as Data Graham has said. (It's in multiple lines for readability, but this is two lines of actual code)

it is so extraordinarily easy to do that you can come up with all kinds of really stupid elaborate ways to do it to bait people into making arrogant replies. it's the kind of thing a programmer might gently caress around with for giggles, to find really absurd ways to tell if a number is even or odd

Thank you for your valiant effort translating from bogan rant into forums readable material. Here are a couple of other bits that could help understand things.

'Start court case into gay labor for poison tap water'=So I think this is related to, in late 2018, Australia's Chief Medical Officer saying kind of out of nowhere that Australia's drinking water is safe from lead poisoning, but if you're concerned then run your tap for about thirty seconds to clean it out--I can find a Queensland newspaper getting really up in arms about this one. The Labor Party had nothing to do with that, though, so he could be talking about something else, or just going conspiracy theory.

This could also be about fluoride, lots of nutters get up in arms about that.

Cleretic posted:

'Feed the bloody ibis our queensland bird'=The ibis is not Queensland's state bird, the brolga is. The brolga seems to be generally fine, Australia's ibis populations are all over the place, but neither is suffering from a lack of food.
'Or we be all in the bin soon'=Obviously none of these issues are big, but Deb Frecklington's seat is fairly rural, so this is probably a guy from the middle of nowhere that's convinced his very specific observed issues are massive calamities.

The ibis was probably used due to the nickname of bin chicken which ties nicely into his next point about all being in the bin.

I'm at a loss on the fish thing too unless it's about general commercial overfishing which is definitely a huge problem for the planet but not one that local fish farming is going to fix.
