I had two objections to parent's point, so forgive me for ranting on a bit here. The strict definition of sexism is a mindset, and the only way to reliably determine that mindset is to have a mind-reading device. That means that almost

No one is using the language Eich wrote "in 10 days" anymore, so that's a ridiculous comparison to make. You're dismissing all the effort TC39 has put into improving the language for many years.

I think your hyperbole is unwarranted; if you're building a "hello world" application, you don't need to use a bundler, or any of the "latest and greatest libraries". Pick tools which you are comfortable with a

Er, they may be left with a warm and fuzzy feeling that they have some "understanding", but let get them to do some multidimensional analysis and see how they do. The meaning of "explaining" seems just as elusive as the

I don't know - isn't this an issue with the erosion of trust towards the administration and "domain experts", something they can only blame themselves for? More importantly, why do you want people to be convinced of

Hmm sure, but companies that don't give canned responses are liable for lawsuits. A teacher's explanation can be wrong or misleading. I've also had some of teachers refuse to explain the alleged errors in my work, and I'

You can always find something to talk about in the code, though. You can start by just describing what each line does, in your opinion. Then you can go back and start to group the lines - e.g. "lines 1-3 are the initialization, lines 4

I don't have a strong opinion about your general question, but this is easily explainable: > Safety Check is a wonderful feature. If I remember correctly, it started off as an internal hackathon project that got turned into a full f

I think it was open sourced as version 0.8 or something along those lines, so that would be 8 major releases.

His requests for loyalty have a pretty innocuous explanation, that is hinted by Comey himself - this was in the midst of an anonymous revolt from intelligence agencies against the President, with constant leaks hitting the press every day.

I don't think this informal study presents as strong of an argument as you may think it does. As the author themselves admitted, seniority was strongly correlated with rate of interruption, but they didn't control for that in thei

This is an interesting study but it has at least one incredulous assumption: > Extraordinarily, we do not know how listeners actually assess how much is spoken. Common sense tells us that someone who drawls a sentence slowly is not consi

Isn't that the point that GP is making? "Very reasonable" laws ending up hurting people through unintended consequences.

This relies on some sort of implied theory that women require female role models in order to be encouraged to break into an industry(and vice versa, probably). I don't know if it's true or not, but I find way more in common betwee

Wouldn't the "Red Guard kids" in the 1960s and the "older Chinese people" at Tiananmen have a large overlap?
