Logical thoughts? "Women are X" "There are limits to how well certain positions and Google can support X". So, what exactly am I supposed to draw from this? You're insistent I am wrong, but you're offering n

You're correct, it is a hateful, sexist comment, and I won't take it back or apologize for it. The "angry white male stereotype" has been at the heart of programming for a long time; misogyny has been at the heart of pr

There is no imagination, he might be citing scientific research, but this is no different that similar essays written by other technologists who don't agree with feminism and lean conservative and libertarian. ESR is a prime example,

See my explanation, it's subtle, he doesn't outright say to discriminate, but he does imply it.

It's subtle, but yes. These 2 lines essentially state that as women are more interested in people, there are some roles they might not be able to perform. A little further down he makes a similar claim that since women look more towa

You don't. There are some great suggestions in this thread. I would definitely recommend reducing social media usage, random browsing, picking up meditation, sleeping, and looking to learn new skills. None of those will overcome or

I understand, but we could definitely use your help. The current administration is hostile to most citizens, and anything that could be done to stop them would be appreciated,

I find the posting, sharing, and status updates on Facebook to be not valuable, outside of keeping up to date with some family members. I've found the real value of Facebook to be Messenger and groups.

In my experience, Emacs is excellent if you take the time to set it up to do as much as possible. Manage work with OrgMode, read email with any number of packages, edit code in one of the supported languages, send and receive messages. Th

Wide versus deep. The person who focused solely on .NET would be the expert that you'd want to look at a set of requirements and determine if .NET is the appropriate platform and then what technologies would be the best to utilize. T
