It's a tough edge to walk - the kerfuffle with brit ruby shows that people will look for reasons to target a con to push an agenda. Not to excuse any gender based discrimination, but I think it does put it in context.

Your response is nonsensical - nothing in the article suggested anything even remotely resembling what you got out of it. It's a puff piece about hobbies. What that means, is that to you, the content is immaterial - where does this reaction

Are you kidding? We're demonstrably less free today than 1999. The TSA springs to mind, the patriot act..

Were they not making a profit? It's hard for me to see the logic behind this decision - I thought the starwars games were all pulling in a decent amount. The other ip as well. What a shame.

Yes it means exactly that - There was a recent talk about sexual health that was canceled because it ran against that rule. http://violetblue.tumblr.com/post/44107008572/what-happened-...

If you act like yourself, someone might get offended and we cannot have that.

This is nice, but I'd recommend two scoops of django over this.

I mapped capslock to control, and I think I use it more than any other key.

She doesn't really care though. This was an ego move, first and foremost. Calling it a women's rights issue is an insult to women.

They're exciting and new and probably going to be the future of the web. They all want the best of breed credit.

Wrong. The joke was not sexist in any way - to call it so is a deliberate misrepresentation of the situation.

Adria's actions really clearly violated the pycon code of conduct - has there been an official response yet?

It's incredibly out of proportion - but people really want to use ember (because it promises all these great things!) and they're frustrated by the docs (because they're not really good for first time users) so this is kind of a flash point

Such a bullshit argument. "no you see, it's ok to be a bigot because of the context!" Such crap - it really sickens me to see people arguing in favor of bigotry and hate because they feel they can get away with it.

Two men were victimized. Full stop. This doesn't help end victimization of women. This is insane because it's so self defeating. All this does is give ammo to the people who were against the changes being made this year.

I don't know about the rest, but the increased consumption of fake beer is a pretty classic example of an inferior good. The good that people resort to skimping on would shift from country to country (measured by indifference curves), but i

I cannot tell you the number of times non-technical teams have asked me (technical) to be employee number 1 and then offered a small amount of equity. I bail every singe time - it becomes clear they have 0 understanding of the time commitm

That thread is depressing - most of the things people are complaining about are conscious design decisions made by the python team. EG Complaining about self - explicit is better than implicit is a core property of python. I feel like `impo

I see these justifications for perl almost every time it comes up - The community, cpan, writing lots of code fast. These are good things, but it's worth pointing out that EVERY OTHER LANGUAGE DOES THAT. Ruby has gem, python has pip - moder

Something not mentioned here is arch's AUR helpers - like yaourt - that automate installing unsupported packages. That means that if you're a more casual user, you can install any one of those 18000 packages with a single command.
