It's a job. Why should culture matter so much?

Condescension combined with a narrow view on diversity, that's a good look.

> Most people can't begin to program Where did you pull this assertion from? There are a wide range of skills and behaviors that go into programming, and I see those attributes in people from all walks of life. Programmers are just

It sounds like you're suggesting that the person who gets the project 80% done and needs a "closer" to help finish it is a bad thing. Isn't this a perfect example of good teamwork?

Probably because you say terrible things like, "why aren't we also forced to work with black female 10x programmers no matter how much we might dislike them?", and all the people with money, voice, and hiring authority look t

It's a linear scaling factor for how many lines of code I tend to take to express the same medium-sized program across these languages.

At a certain point succinctness does more harm than good. Go captures nearly all of the sense of python's early values ( https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0020/ ), without requiring all that much more in

Just because you're intelligent doesn't mean you should spend all that intelligence trying to figure out other people's messes. Simplicity and explicitness are paramount when collaborating.

On the contrary, good satire is often founded upon deep insights.

For shitredditsays, there's also a lot of quoting and satire to account for.

I'm totally being helpful. If you increase the sincerity of the code (and remove the stupid non-apology and change the spiteful name) and provide more diverse oversight then you will have an immediate positive impact.

There is a well known and studied lack of diversity in the open source community, and particularly in linux kernel development. Putting this code in place is meant to address that, so it's reasonable to point out the various half-measu

I love how grudging this is. It's like when someone apologizes for you feeling a certain way, rather than for what they did. Half the "code" is claiming that nothing is wrong and the kernel is perfect because reasons, and the

I think you're engaging in the common fallacy of dismissing things that happen on the internet as "not real." It's long past time we, as a society, grew out of such childish thinking.

For every randomly sampled population of 1000 humans, you can expect to find at least one or two people who identify as trans (and probably more who are too afraid or uncertain to publicly identify themselves). This is what I mean by everyw

Which is also not a radical subculture.

by intortus 12y ago
Calling these cultures "radical subcultures" is dismissive. What you're seeing is a more complete expression of humanity. Past media have generally filtered out much of the diversity and angst inherent in human lives, and tha

You don't think it could have anything to do with attitudes toward women in each respective field?

Segregation is not harmful in itself. It depends on how it's applied. It's easy to see that this doesn't map to Jim Crow, and a lot of disingenuous people try to make it map anyway to serve their own agenda.

That's what they'd like you to think.

Or maybe get better at finding and attracting all the talent that already exists in the US. A lot of people won't go near a SV startup with a 10 ft pole.

Another error the author made is adding to a sync.WaitGroup in a different goroutine than the one that waits. This is another rookie mistake that go test -race would probably catch.

You're trying to show how the active and passive sense of verbs contrast, but your examples are inconsistent. Let's keep A and B fixed. "A eats B" -> "B is eaten by A". Makes total sense! "A comprises B

If companies didn't remove targets of takedown requests immediately and without scrutiny, then user content on the internet would not be able to exist.

This is where I think Paul Graham gets it wrong: > Exceptional programmers have an aptitude for and interest in programming that is not merely the product of training. This is the old "you're either an exceptional programmer or

Nothing happened merely because he held opinions. It was when he began expressing them in a harmful and embarrassing manner that it became a problem for him.

I've had a lot of dealings with the "I'm just expressing my opinions" crowd. I think it's a disingenuous claim. You're not being shunned merely for opinions, you're being shunned because your application o
