What part is magic? I'm saying to take the testimony of women who are either in the field or have attempted to join as evidence. Were you just nit-picking at my use of "it's not up for debate"?

And which side would you take in that debate?

I believe innovation is the next logical step to widening your appeal. You make new and interesting advances when the work you're doing is for a different type of person or project.

If you assumed I was offended by his post, you're far off. I'm only disappointed. The evidence is this blog post and the countless ones like it saying how tough it is for a woman to get into programming without being bombarded with negative

I have a female friend who enjoys the Mario series. That doesn't mean it's not gender-specific; it means there exist some women to which that game appeals. Super Mario is extremely gender-specific: the main characters are male attempting to

By that logic, nothing can ever exist without some way to measure it, yet we know of things like emotions and attractiveness. Would you then say that "hatred" or "love" cannot exist because there isn't a hatred/love-measuring machine? Just

I'm sorry. I don't have a list of innovations that happened because an underprivileged person joined a profession and used their world view. I could say the rise in Facebook/casual gaming proves there was a market going untapped, but I'm no

It's not an assertion because this isn't something up for debate. Women face a lot of discrimination in the tech industry. You can say, "I don't see it," but saying it's your opinion that it doesn't exist is characterizing it as something t

Women becoming programmers is hyped for the same reason women becoming doctors and lawyers was hyped decades ago: diversity fuels innovation. They're interested in other professions because the culture surrounding programming is such a "boy

You're missing the point of the article. It's not about getting you introduced to the class; it's about discussing why this class is dedicated to women but not identifying as "feminist".

Look at the three games you listed. Pac- Man , Super Mario , Goonies (a game about young men ).

There's nothing debatable about gender discrimination existing in the industry. It's not your opinion. It exists. Age discrimination exists as well, but that's not what this article is about, and you shouldn't try to grab focus with it.

Thanks for your answer! I forgot about the /comments page for each subreddit (including r/all). How often did you poll the API for comments? It seems like there are so many comments that you'd have to do it every couple of seconds.

by ceol 15y ago
Ah, I remember you. Would you mind going over how unedditreddit saved comments? Do you think you'd be able to make the same service now where threads reach 5,000+ comments daily?

And when you change the stylesheet, you'll invalidate the cache on all your images.

At least they're embracing the fact most users search for their error messages online.

Base64-encoded images can't be cached, either.

Doubtful that's their only reason. Google going down would be akin to github going down: more harm than good, and the message would get lost in the chaos.

Ah, that's perfect! It shouldn't be called a minimalist lifestyle; it should be called a mobile lifestyle.

I think his approach to minimalism is kind of unique. He's essentially saying, "Cut all the unnecessary choices out of my life." The last paragraph sums it up nicely: > Minimalism is equally easy as it is boring to do. What shirt today

Pakistani women are still not as privileged as men. Even if you were to compare a wealthy Pakistani family to some sort of American class (which would be very hard, since you would be ignoring both cultures), she would still be notable for

There's nothing logical about your post, because a logical post wouldn't ignore that she was a 9 year old girl from Pakistan when she became a MCP and you weren't a 9 year old girl from Pakistan when you became a MCP. You refuse to see th

"Intelligence" isn't some stat you train to make your spells do more damage. It's a complex mix of what you've learned, how you learn, and who's teaching you. "Intelligence" is just as hard to define as "consciousness".

This is rather indirect, but didn't Google try to purchase Yelp a while ago? And isn't Yelp known for trying to extort business owners?
