I think this can happen to a lot of people, depending on the discussion. Personally, I've taken almost no CS classes; I'm a EE by degree and moved into programming (mainly embedded) on-the-job. So when people start getting into h

You have a point there, it can be argued that there's a link. However I do think it's important to compare apples to apples, and not to apple trees. So we should be looking at why men and women leave the industry, and also why t

Funny how you're being downvoted too. You're probably being downvoted for pointing out the naked truth about software engineering and its utter brokenness.

You're changing the argument. The OP said that women leave tech at a much higher rate than other industries. You claim that men enter certain professions at a much lower rate. This is apples and oranges.

I think this is the case for anything where anyone can write a review. The same happens with restaurant reviews, for instance: people affiliated with the restaurant will write glowing, positive reviews to try to drown out the angry 1-star

The 90s were really great in a lot of ways. But as you've shown, it was really awful in a few others. I wonder if there's a parallel universe out there where Windows 95 never happened and Microsoft went out of business somehow.

I've bought several batteries for Samsung phones from Ebay. Look for "Samsung OEM" and find a seller in the US. Check the feedback. I can't guarantee it won't be counterfeit, but it's a better bet than Amazo

You're thinking large-scale, not small-scale. Locally, building more F-35s is good for the local economy and keeps people employed, and the negative effects are minimal if any. Nationally, it's a different picture. Why would lo

It's funny how, for many people, working in a coffee shop, a place that's open, public, and full of people, allows them to concentrate better on their work than most other places. Of course, it makes sense if you really think abou

Whoops, that should read, "And this shows why MS is right..."

And this shows my MS is right to do a shoddy job with the Windows 10 upgrades. If it works out right, they get more money from spyware and adware. If it doesn't work out, stupid users will trash the computer and go buy a new one, so

If we had well-designed, well-maintained cities, it could be done I think. People would have to live a lot more densely, and we wouldn't be able to have personally-owned cars that drive on asphalt roads.

Then they misplaced their trust and should have picked a vendor they agree with more, because MS does think of it as an update. What "most users" think is irrelevant in court.

by Arizhel 10y ago
But they didn't. The user specifically allowed Microsoft to install software updates, at its discretion, on the user's computer. That's what they did, except this one was a really big update.

by Arizhel 10y ago
That's really not the reasoning. The real reasoning is: "You consented to allow us to automatically install software updates on your computer. Windows 10 is a software update, se we installed it automatically." Basically, pe

It's not supposed to, yet. But that is pretty important. My gf lives in an urban high-rise, and it's not noisy at all, except for the (above-ground at this point) subway that runs right next to the building.

Yes, because of two things: 1) it's not one person/group who's choosing who you can vote for. It's a product of the system as a whole, which has competing actors. The GOP does not decide who runs in the Dem races, and

For some reason I really thought I saw figures that 5M fewer people voted than in '08. Maybe I'm comparing to '12? I'm too lazy to research this at the moment. However, your own page shows that the voter turnout was 2
