Easy. I don't sit at a computer all day. Personally, I find I'm a better coder when I get up and move around on a regular basis. I'll work for an hour or two, then go for a walk. Come back, work for another hour or two, go ge

Try again. It's more like, "hey baby, I want to rape you while you're sleeping then fuck you in the ass while you cry ... fucking bitch, why don't you want it?" That's not a direct quote from my inbox, but it&#

Speaking as an lady old fart on the Internet, it wasn't nearly this bad 15, 20 years ago. I've spent literally decades in some of these Internet communities, and the level of disrespect women receive on the Internet has skyrockete

Speaking as someone who's on the spectrum, just because one is autistic doesn't automatically make them toxic - nor does being toxic automatically make one autistic. This is a really disingenuous and harmful stereotype of people o

Same, and I've found it so useful I paid for a home license. Don't get me wrong, I love a little CLI action, but Charles is pretty seamless and works great with all of my more complicated localhost dev setups and the weird routing

Maybe it's just me, but I see the biggest problem in implementing a 2FA policy is the friction of the process. Using a password manager isn't as easy as remembering a single password. Using an offline manager isn't as easy as

Free speech is a concept of government. Reddit is a for-proft corporation. It's not censorship, it's a business refining its model. Joke's on you that you thought reddit was anything but.

Compared to what the web looked like in '95, it's downright modern.

It's the ghost of HTML 3.2, now with excess DOM manipulation! Oh god now I'm having flashbacks to <tr align="center"><td colspan="3" nowrap><img src="spacer.gif" height="100"

It's a neat concept, but your privacy policy is going to kill you. It's incredibly boilerplate and vague, with no information about how you actually use the data. If you want security-conscious folks to use your service (that is,

They started picking and choosing which parts of AppData they backed up, but never informed their users and kept on claiming they backed up "everything." See, the backup app used to be set up so you could see what was being exclud

Fair warning: Backblaze has a habit of making major changes silently (without any indication to the user), and their customer support is TERRIBLE. I was a customer for several years and never had a positive interaction with their support st

> Many SV startups display a website with 50% women programmers... all of them cute and young. We know very well they're not here to attract more women to programming. Really ? Are you so shortsighted as to think that an attractive

This is an incredibly misleading title on two studies that has been repeatedly misreported as confirming the absence of gluten sensitivity. In fact, if you get away from the junk science journalism, these studies suggest scientifically soun

Lady hacker here. Bring it. We'll see who pwns who. (Also, thank you for proving a point in an amazingly effective fashion - as if "college degree holding males" are the only people capable of working with tech. Your testicle

> The opportunities are there for those females who want it. This is a fallacy. The problem isn't that sexism in STEM isn't conscious choice; it's not like those nasty menfolk go out of their way to make women feel unwelco

> How do they make a living if they aren't working at all? I'm one of those women who left the field after a 10 year career, and then returned several years late. The answer is, our quality of life drops. We end up in alternate

I'm probably going to get the shit flamed out of me for being a woman daring to comment in a thread about feminism, but fuck it. Maybe the Internet might surprise me. I'm one of those 56% of women who left mid-career for a non-tec

As a woman who also don't like to track her fitness by pounds, dress size is not a particularly useful metric, because it's so highly variable among manufacturers. I have pants that range from size 8 to size 16. If I tried to meas

Yeah, the picture is super off-putting; I liked the app concept but any interest I had disappeared when I saw that login screen. It looks like something more suited for Tinder than a health tracking app, and frankly, I'm sick of seeing
