Whose job is it to enforce the coding standards? Let that person take it up with them. That is their job, after all. Personally, though, I would also be gently saying things like, "Dude (or Dudette), you know that's not going

Even in a double-blind review, it is possible to figure out whose paper you are reviewing if you are familiar with their work. The system can also be gamed through collusion or sucking up (approving a paper because they reference a paper o

You completely misunderstand what I am saying. 1. I care about people, and believe that they have unlimited potential. If anything, this fundamental belief is the core of all of my interactions with my students. 2. I do not believe in bias

I'm not referencing Say's law. I'm referring to the very real phenomenon that I experienced as a freelancer, in which nobody cared to know anything about me other than whether or not I could get the job done. It was about s

What movies/tv shows are you watching? Try Supernatural. Try the old movies from the 90's like Hackers and The Net. Even the Matrix. All of them featured women hackers as well as men. I was not given "the focus" by d

I'm a grad student (already have my masters, 3rd year into PhD). I've only had one CS prof make a gender-related disparaging comment, and he was talked to privately, and his contract was not renewed at the end of the semester (th

This directly relates to us in tech. Specifically, there is a huge push to reach out to women and girls in CS. I am not opposed to females in CS at all. I will encourage males and females alike to pursue it, because I see CS as the great

My university included it (3 years ago), but only a little. It is part of understanding how a computer works, so it should be included, but the skill is not in demand enough to spend a lot of time on it.

Seriously, why do these technology companies do this?!?

by coreyp_1 11y ago
I don't use them. I have no reason to use them. Having said that, I still think that they are a great idea, there's just not a "killer" use case for them for the general public in everyday use.

I would advise you to be careful. It is always dangerous to build your business on someone else's. It is very easy for them to pull the rug out from under you!

It depends on what aspect of it you are talking about, and what time frame you are comparing it to. Drupal has a lot of nice features, and once you learn how it is structured, it's very easy to extend. For that matter, the Drupal co

Perhaps you are a little too hard on YC. Here's the thing: You do not need YC to succeed/make money/do great things. YC is a tool that comes with a cost (it is a business, after all). If you do not need that tool, then pl

Interesting. I think equating "suicide" to "kill" is not correct, however. If the "kill" command were actually called "murder", then the analogy (used by those defending the term) would be more comp

I was just talking to my students yesterday about making assumptions with user data, and in this particular instance, assuming that a last name is only one word. Years ago, when I first started using Google AdSense on my website, they had p

IMO, slight accents are not a problem. Very thick ones are (such as not being able to understand individual words because the vowels and consonants are so badly mispronounced). I am a native speaker, but I have a regional accent. When I t

Us grad student here. The problem with most foreign grad students is that they do not want to work on their accent, or on English itself, for that matter. Many of them just congregate into their own groups, and rarely speak English except f

I despise expiring passwords. My university makes me change my password every 6 months, and they keep a list of the last 2 year's worth of passwords so that you can't reuse them. That, and they disallow some characters such as &
