This study doesn't seem to be attempting to address the issue of a lack of women 'entering' engineering fields.. but the lack of women 'staying' in engineering fields long term.

Maybe it just catches the eye more, because it doesn't move with the rest of the content as you scroll. It's harder to just scroll past without noticing it...

I believe they were saying that they have 2FA on TeamViewer, not on PayPal.

I only skimmed the article, but I didn't get the impression that the writer was suggesting that the changes are going to immediately result in Apple losing sales or loyal customers... They admit that Apple is still the best in the indu

I believe it just said that ad-blockers will 'impact performance' - Which is technically correct... they didn't specify if it was negatively or positively ;)

I work at a medium-sized game studio, and we have a profit sharing system, but my understanding is that it is rare in the industry. We are essentially self-publishing, so that helps.

Huh... I'm on Chrome in Windows 10, and I have Google Analytics blocked, and the rest of the page loads fine for me.

That seems great in theory, but many people still have really restrictive data caps on their plans, so I'm not sure we are quite ready for that model. It would also suck if you had an app on your phone like a star/constellation ma

Interesting... That tweet is the first I ever heard of UWP apps being distributable through 3rd party stores, and I don't see anything in the link that he provided that supports his claim - its all in reference to the Windows Store. It

I don't think that's correct either. My understanding is that the issue with DirectX 12 is that it is limited to Windows 10 - So people still on Windows 7/8 can't play DX12 games. AFAIK, you can use DX12 in non-UWP appli

I don't know for sure, but my assumption would be that it currently isn't anything particularly interesting... Maybe things like sending updates to Windows 10's 'notification' drawer?

Windows is CURRENTLY a fairly open platform. UWP as a sort of sub-platform is not particularly 'open'. The point here is that if UWP is successful, Microsoft will almost certainly continue to move more and more in that direction,

I would assume that a good chunk of that initial increased activity has less to do with it being a better name/icon, and more to do with the increased awareness/attention to the feature in general, due to all of the press around t

I know that when I canceled my American Express card, they said that they would keep the account open for an X amount of time (I wanna say ~1 year), and I would be responsible for any charges during that period, and billed normally. However

I don't think that rathboma was suggesting that you might get fraudulent changes on the card - but any other service that you use which currently has that card on record could now potentially be compromised by anyone who knows your nam

Huh? I've been using ADP's online 'portal' for over 2 years - no idea how long it existed before then. Is there a specific part of the service that they expanded to be online this year?

This is the part that I don't understand - because I don't know what the language like 'YouTube Partner' means... I know of a lot of YouTube creators who monetize many of their videos with ads, but when they have small &

This isn't the first time Youtube has dramatically changed their terms, and forced creators to basically accept them or leave, though... so it is pretty easy to assume the worst when it comes to Youtube.

So will they also force Apple and Google to sell FireTV on their stores? Amazon tries to look like the place where you can buy literally everything... but they aren't legally obligated to sell anything.

Got some sources on the 'everyone getting richer' claim? I have never seen a single statistic suggesting that, after accounting for factors such as inflation... maybe I have some selection bias, but everything I have read shows th

I imagine that would be in violation of Apple's rules around apps executing 'arbitrary' code from 3rd party sources.

I generally agree, but it seems like it could have some bad side-effects if it becomes a popular business model, though. There are a handful of interesting paid apps that are very short, unique experiences - which don't try to drag out

I'm not a professional in this field, but my understanding has always been that most climate models have predicted that while the general trend in global temperature will continue to go up - in most individual smaller climates the seas

Hopefully it doesn't turn into the TV market, where it is getting increasingly difficult to find a TV that isn't "Smart".

It looks to me like Microsoft is trying to position HoloLense to scratch that particular itch... They could potentially have experiences like the original Surface table, but using AR over a normal table, rather than an active table. It woul

More likely it means Microsoft approached King privately, to have them work on the port in secret, so that Microsoft would have something to show off.

That is a great idea... I've never tried eating bugs, and while I'd like to think that I could get over the stigma and try it, I know that I would have no problem eating them after they have been ground up into a meal, and worked

I think the point is that 'not capable of digesting' is an inaccurate description of the issue. Most likely it would just take some time to integrate meat back into their diet... I've made much smaller changes to my diet whic

I'm a little surprised this hasn't become an accepted practice yet... Tons of game developers fail to complete their projects for one reason or another, and the open-source scene for PC games is practically non-existent (actual ga
