why would a pro-hillary group flag a story on here that says she's not guilty of crimes (or at least that charges won't be pursued due to the actions not warranting criminal prosecution)? I'm literally in disbelief about how

Yep. Conservatives and their ilk are so thoroughly convinced of her guilt (and if not this, list off the 100 other witch hunts the republicans in congress have led against her). They'd rather flag and stifle discussion than let people

But sometimes there may not be a single concrete example. Some people just have that unfriendly vibe. Getting an example of "this one time Chad didn't want to talk to you because you were scowling the whole standup" probably

Failing is also how you succeed. You learn all the ways to fail, then try to avoid that. You can't fail unless you try. You won't be willing to try if you are terrified of failure. The key thing is stop treating failure like some

Lol, if we switch the tech industry to text-only interviews, get ready for the full-day programming problems to come back. You get so much from speech cues, filler words, etc. To try to completely eliminate that and still make rational hiri

It's because we all know the 70c number is a lie when you actually compare experience, education, job role, and more stuff like that. I mean, don't try to bring it up with an SJW, but we all know the flaws of the study. the 70

Accurately and consistently measuring performance of professionals has been all but impossible for the better part of the last century. I don't know why we keep trying. This is what peer reviews are for.

If you're tracking the interviewer gender guess, that's a legal liability to the interviewer. I'd refuse to answer, or always put "unsure" even if I was 100% sure of the gender.

And that also means that at some point (ideally in the very near future), we're just going to have to be OK with the idea that not all women want to be STEM majors. This necessarily and explicitly means that the ratio will never be 50&

No. If you're a white male, that's bad. Anything else is diversity. They'll come up with some bullshit like "since women aren't the majority of hiring managers, this doesn't count as discrimination" or som

But implicit in that "gender bias-free" hiring is the assumption that current hiring is gender biased to the point of needing technical solutions that simply remove the human element. If you have a manager who thinks women can

I am with you 100%. We keep trying to invent ways to skew the hiring towards women. Let's just stop trying to candy-coat it. You want gender ratios, so just hire based on gender ratios and deal with the fallout. This narrative that wom

Blech. I have to use Gerrit at one of my current clients, and I fucking hate it. Github's workflow is easy. You have a repo, you can fork it or create a feature branch, you can add multiple commits, and then open a PR. That makes sense

This way is the only way we've found to do it, even on a smaller scale. Once you get above 20-25 jobs, or create a self service way for teams to create projects+github+jira+cloudformation+jenkins etc, you have to aggressively standardi

I still don't understand why people trust Oracle consultants. Their list of failures is ten miles long. I guess nobody gets fired for hiring Oracle.
