A site knowing my facebook account is a small issue, facebook knowing a visited that site is the big one.

The domain looks so super trashy and spammy, is this an actual trustworthy journal?

Warning, 40 megabytes of images. If the author reads this, consider turning those photograph PNGs into JPEG. There is no reason not to. Also resize them so they are not resized by the browser but shown 1:1.

Rule #y - Don't treat your readers like people with bad eye sight. Displaying more than 10 lines of text on 1000 pixels is a good idea.

Yes, because it is no one's business what people are looking at anyways. If you have more than one URL, HTTPS will hide that. HTTPS will also make an attacker unable to change your content.

You tried to access the address http://wikiwash.metronews.ca/ , which is currently unavailable. :(

It could very well be but I am very close to some of them and am confident that they are neither oblivious nor feeling like they have to hide anything. They are well respected in their respective communities.

My mindset is that of a scientist I guess. I don't trust people's own accounts, especially in such a heated debate. I want numbers, research and objectivity. > However, sadly, often the motivation is "she's successful

Some disclaimers since they at least used their normal nicknames. There are fresh accounts commenting super positively. They are: gilesrhysjones, the Marketing Director at what3words cjrsheldrick, the Co-founder of what3words There are also

Thanks! Still reads as mostly anecdotes to me. I know enough women who are not subject to such abuse to know that it is a tiny minority that is. Or maybe they are not parts of communities where this is more normal? (Obligatory disclaimer: N

How does that actually help? Who would even think that those things are reasonable? It makes much more sense to try to understand why it happened and how it can be prevented.

Careful, that question is forbidden. You will probably be accused of "victim shaming" in a minute. Sadly most people seem not interested in the psychological or sociological motivation of those abusers. There is always something t

I am sorry but I do not see that directly addressed at all. I have now read it 3 times. There are selected examples, personal experiences, the Gamergate shitstorm which is beyond the point of sanity by a long shot and a lot of rambling. And

It is my honest belief that a few dedicated abusers can easily attract and steer an army of trolls. They feed on the affirmation of comments, upvote points, whatever. The worst ones enjoy hearing about the misery of their victims. Just look

Are you calling me a misogynist? How on earth did you get to that incredible insult from my initial post? This kind of abrasive behaviour is exactly why discussing these issues seems impossible. This is why people like me get sick and tired

To maybe save some from reading through this rambling who like to stay away from the topic: It does not seem to be about women in tech generally but seems to boil down to the work of a few socio-/psychopaths caught in a feedback loop.

Properly definable color ranges. Let's say I want to color values below 0 in blue shades, values above 0 as red shades. Pretty much none of the libraries allow anything like that (unless you jump through hoops and write ugly hacks).

Are you sure the blood sample was handled correctly? Vitamin D tests are cheap to do nowadays but most doctors have no idea that they have to immediately enclose the sample in darkness or it will be tainted. Vitamin D decomposes(?) in sunli

I am doing about 2 terabytes of relay traffic monthly on some cheap 15€/month server that serves my various other projects. It's fun and feels good. Takes minutes to set up. Join us! :)

Considering them telling almost 20 other domains about your visit, I would not call that stance on privacy a strong one: 2o7.net, ajax.googleapis.com, chartbeat.com, chartbeat.net, dqwufkbc3sdtr.cloudfront.net, facebook-web-clients.appspot.

Not sure about penalising algorithms but I make sure to flag pointless social war mongering posts.
