An interesting question might be what percentage of male developers are public speakers? And what percentage of female developers are public speakers? I am certainly not in a position to make an educated guess, do you want to make any sort

I appreciate the response. So you're telling me there are more public speaking workshops for male developers than female developers? I'm not sure I believe that. I think ALL developers could benefit from this workshop. And that in

This should be an event put on by a women's organization, sponsored by github. As a github event, it is alienating, off putting, sexist, and creepy. Male programmers need public speaking skills just as much as female programmers do. Wh

I would have loved to see an Occupy 2.0 like movement with marches or protests on the Mall, at NSA HQ, on the streets in front of their parking lot, at their freeway offramps, and at the AT&T building in San Francisco. (Hey! There is an

I'm glad you reposted this. I am not sure what HN etiquette is for that. Some articles really do deserve a repost and this is one. And yes, looks like it will take after Tasha Yar, and die repeatedly.

Almost. I agree dick was too harsh, and in fact, it was shaming. And I do think that if one "side" is not contributing resentment can build up that no one wants. I do take issue with the notion of "sides" and I think it

I am not going to prescribe what chores are manly and panty wetting when we disagree on premise of what "fair share" means. And yes, you can redefine the problem such that you think there are no obvious manly chores left in your a

Um, household chores are not unlimited, and there are many that are considered manly, and still, still, you don't respond to my repeated statement, nothing about doing manly chores, or being manly necessitates being a dick.

What someone does at home is probably limited by available time, and not limited by lack of things to do. Given what you've stated, I would hope the manly man would build them a roof for their home. I still don't see any requireme

It certainly doesn't seem to follow that "manly man who takes out the trash and fixes the car, roof, and does the lawn" has to be a dick in any manner as you put it. http://www.usatoday.com/story/news&#x2

Thank you for taking the time to post this (and format it.) I definitely appreciate it. Not sure where I got the impression NASA had adopted such a dramatic shift in focus.

by __pThrow 13y ago
Perhaps my memory is wrong, or the emphasis less that I recall, but I remember fundamental change in NASA's direction in the late 90s or early 2000s that explicitly focused NASA's work on Earth. Some of this was a result of remote

I am glad this debate took place though many people advise never to debate Creationists. Scientists that refuse to debate Creationists in front of a public audience have no standing to rise in front of a city council or state committee and

Sorry to be that guy, but I would never refer to stack overflow as a great community. It might be a great site to get questions answered, but I feel no sense of community from there. I'd sooner ask Kim Jong Un about how to build strong

Maybe HN should have an intentional name obfuscator. You sign up, you're assigned a random handle. It's consistent and has no meaning other than as a pointer.

What do off color jokes have to do with sexism? As an example, the dongle joke had nothing to do with sexism. I am not trying to shame you but have you ever been around groups of women as they work or play? Off color jokes are typical of th
