Programming Language Creator or Serial Killer?

Re: Programming Language Creator or Serial Killer?
#102My takeaway is both programmers and serial killers look like regular people (and have some unflattering photos). The bias that you can tell killers apart by what they look like is created by the media, who probably choose sinister-looking photos when reporting on murderers.
I got 8/10 which says otherwise. I voted serial killer for both women just because of how unlikely it is for a female to invent a programming language. If it wasn't for that I would be basically 90% correct. This means statistically that there likely is a difference. I can't put my finger on what it was though, I just knew. Basically anybody who looked insane must be an inventor of a programming language and anyone w…

#103I wonder if the ones where they are smiling (e.g. Guido van Rossum) were replaced with stone-faced pictures, if the scores would be different.

Oddly enough, I thought that both women were programming language creators for similar reasons to yours. This is because they were older women. (Well, a new photo of an old woman and an old photo of a young woman.) While my impressions may be off, it seems like women played a much stronger role in computer programming before the 1980's than in the 80's and 90's.
