oh sure - in desperation people will take the jobs they can get, but what it does is wash out the natural tendency for men to prefer stem - which is very clear if you look at western nations and those considered to have good sex equality in

is it so hard to believe that women don't enjoy stem fields as much as men? that men and women are actually different and that it implies different behaviour? that actually you know what... the more freedom women get the /less lik

i agree, but i think that ship sailed a long time ago... i think we passed the point where the speed of the internet is an embarrassing reflection on the programmers involved about 15 years ago now though... the bugs in the browser layer al

it is sad to see this but thoroughly unexpected. all these useful and innovative startups are great, but they need to learn the most basic respect for the law and its spirit. this is the nth time something like this has happened in the star

There are some absolute, rather than relative measures that you can use to gauge your skill. For engineering fields (not just software) the 'toolmaker' analogy is a good one i find. Until you understand what involved in making the

i wonder how far this can be taken... e.g. flipping or setting a random string of bits that would be physically contiguous in hardware as if a real neutron came smashing into the memory... if doing it during run can be achieved etc. how abo

you raise some interesting points but i think you are quite misguided - despite having the right kind of idea imo. the fact that you use words like politics and expensive tells me we are imagining very different scenarios and consequences..
