It's how men generally treat women. Do you have anything to back this up?

Budgets are definitely tight and schedules are even tighter in hollywood movie post production. There entire movie budget might look like a big figure, but it's divided among a lot of people.

I've said it before I will say it again. Apple should spend less money worrying about and suing it's competitors and spend more time and money on improving their mediocre products. Do you honestly think that Apple are incapable of develop

Brit here. I've been watching the events unfolding over the last week with increasing incredulity. I have to say the reaction to this t-shirt is taking things to another level. My only theory is that this is the puritanical aspect of the US

I took trhtrsh's comment as sarcasm. If not then I think people have officially lost their minds and we may need to reboot the internet.

I agree that she doesn't deserve some of the vitriol her way. Particularly the misogynistic stuff which is particularly stupid considering the context. However it's also true that she was the one who chose the nuclear option, and has to liv

I hope that there will be a positive flip side to these incidents. The swathes of negative publicity and often humiliating climb downs that follow, will make the DMCA a toxic legal tool for many companies. At least those that are concerned

I think it's more of a grey area than that. Certainly I can imagine a situation where the overlap was insignificant and this was an overreach by the employer, but there is currently no evidence to suggest that.

From the OP 'Sadly though, due to concerns from my employer regarding intellectual property and similarities in projects I've worked on, I've been asked to take down the site.' We have no way of assessing the validity of these concerns from

Ok, that's possibly unfortunate wording but it could have referred to the attendees rather than the presenters. At the time the complaint was that they hadn't applied quotas to the presenters which is not the same thing as discrimination.

'Be careful about what you say when at PyCon. Otherwise someone might hear you, report you to the authorities and post your photo on the internet resulting in you losing your job'. You have a truly strange concept of welcoming.

As a non-American who occasionally attends conferences in the States, this entire incident is rather frightening. I really could not imagine a similar reaction in Europe. It reminds me of the situation last year where a British ruby confere

Pull to refresh makes a lot of sense where you have a vertically scrolling list with the most recent entries at the top. The user will discover it naturally as they look for more entries past the current top one. However I've seen it used i

Exactly. When I was 20 I'd happily spend my weekend building PCs or compiling Linux kernels. In general, my time/money ratio was skewed heavily towards time. Now I'm in my 30s and have a demanding career it's very much the other way. Spare

So you're claiming that the company who initially pushed web apps as the iPhone API but caved under pressure from developers, the same company who developed webkit. You're claiming this company is trying to destroy the web? Do you not think

True, and that peace of mind can be appealing to hackers as well. We only have so many hours in the day after all.

If that's the case, then I'm leaving Google calendar. Apple doesn't get to pick which calendar app I use, let alone Google.

CalDAV was the approved method for syncing Google calendars on iOS since they ended activesync support on new devices a month ago. I'm not sure what the plan is now. Hopefully Apple will be in the approved third party list for extended Cal

The downside of Google's product strategy of throwing things against a wall is becoming clear. This post is from 3 days ago: http://winsource.com/2013/03/11/caldav-and-carddav-support-f... So even as Microsoft is working to implement supp

It's worse than that. On iOS Google have just shut down exchange support (for new users), which was how I was syncing calendars up until now. If they pull caldav support as well, there will be no syncing mechanism available to iOS users, un

Vets need qualifications; there are very few vets who just kind of taught themselves by cutting up animals and experiementing with giving them different drugs. Whilst experience counts for a lot, I really don't see experienced vets looking

Whether its wrong depends on the context and the motivations. To put it another way, the ends justifies the means. And I think you'll find plenty who would disagree with that statement.

Axiom 1 is very debatable. Other fields, for example veterinary science, have switched from male dominated to female dominated in a generation with no affirmative action involved. https://hardnewscafe.usu.edu/?p=6581

Very well put. As someone who works currently at the intersection of technology and the arts, I know plenty of people who've worked at a high level in both camps. Because of my STEM background, occasionally others are surprised that I don't

That's mostly a function of the studios drastically reducing the amount of time given to produce the work, while simultaneously increasing the complexity. It's fair to say that not all vfx facilities produce the same quality of work. That's

I don't think many people working in vfx expect to earn as much as a doctor, lawyer or successful entrepreneur. They would like to be paid a similar rate to other highly qualified technical individuals working in a profitable field. VFX (al

Is that a problem? There are plenty of other sites filled with cat memes and incoherent ranting for those that seek that.

Perhaps what's missing is a good reason for choosing HTML5 over traditional technologies when you're investing in a new project. Pros: Runtime is very widely available Cons: Relatively poor performance Monetization strategy is not clear Bro
