Your words: > and what was once a pattern still persists to a lesser degree.

You claim that STEM discriminates women today because of something that happened in 1890. I would like to see some evidence of that related to today, not something from 1890. And not your empty statement of "what was once a pattern sti

So women are now excluded from education like the olden days? Wtf?

by koonsolo 4y ago
The main reason why girls are not choosing STEM is because it doesn't intrest them as much. You can try to put the blame on anything you want, but that's reality. I love technical things and am the father of 1 son and 3 girls. I o

Negative pressure from who?

I don't know where you did STEM related education, but in my environment a women in a group project would get extra points relative to the rest. So I saw the exact opposite of what you describe. And at work, women seems to rise to mana

> STEM is 100% historically discriminatory to women So that women prefer to pick other fields is STEM's fault?

I'm talking in the practical kind of way: speeding, parking where you're not supposed to, "better to ask forgiveness than permission" kind of things, creative bookkeeping (I'm from Belgium :D), ... . No idea what ki

In my experience, business ppl are the ones who like to break the rules more than others. I would argue most people here are employed engineers, and they mostly love following rules.

Women select on success. With success probably comes money, and a lot of people confuse the two when they think about how women select their partner. But it's clearly "success" or the potential of success. How are you conside

It's just different preferences. Men select on beauty and women select on success.

I can't upvote this enough. HN is known to be very negative towards Tinder. My first marriage ended with my wife divorcing me. We have 3 kids. On my Tinder profile I made it very clear I'm a dad. I'm not tall and not that han

> leaders rarely seem to think hard enough about the possible outcomes. This really annoys me about politics. They seems to reason as: We have problem A, so let's do solution B to solve this. And then the reasoning ends. What should

Sounds reasonable, but in practice (at least in Belgium), practice seems otherwise. If you want to make a big jump money wise, you have to switch jobs. That's what I see in practice. My theory is that people are reluctant to switch job

For the second case the play-pause button has the same problem: what does the 'play' button mean? That it's currently playing, or that when you click it, it will play? Same with paused. Is it paused now or does it pause when

I also have 20 years of experience, and was thinking the same thing about the article. Liked everything except the opinions. But for me the reason is a bit different. Everything has benefits and drawbacks, and you always know the drawbacks

React can be used both on the server and client side. That is a benefit over something that can be only used on the server side. React can even be both on server and client using 1 codebase (see Next.js). But it seems the PHP police here on

For reference, I'm working with both React and PHP. And yes, for example WordPress uses React components. I'm a 42 year old software architect. But hey, maybe I've been ignorant all this time. React vs PHP is a decision yo

A "React vs PHP" Google search turns up tons of articles and forum questions with that exact same comparison. So either it's logical to compare the two, or the internet is just full of idiots like me and the parent poster :D.

It's funny how we both think of each others statement how strange it is. For me, not being able to compare the two is like saying: You cannot compare a horse with a car as a means of transportation because a car is not an animal. For m

> Your comparing to React which is not a language or in the same domain is confusing and makes me doubt your credibility. They both render HTML and do it in a very different way.

At my first job I wanted to automate the way a customer bought a product and got the license key. But the project manager said not to waste time on this, he was going to do all of that by hand. So my obvious response was "What are you

I work differently. I mainly read code, and do small manipulations in different places. Reading technical documentation is maybe 5% of what I do. I mainly need to figure out code. So basically it's jumping around, refactor some stuff,
