If you've had type 2 diabetes for more than 30 years, you may well be on insulin by now. Also, blaming big pharma for making people pay for insulin makes no sense. You can argue that they're charging too much, certainly, or that g

"Women on GitHub" != "women". Nobody is suggesting women are better at programming. The results are showing that women who submit GitHub PRs are more competent. There could be any number of reasons for that: - women ar

Can I jump-start your list? "Git" is a product name, not an acronym. It's just spelled Git. (Please forgive me this act of pedantry, as I forgive those who commit pedantry against me...)

One of my coworkers did the same thing years ago, and he still takes flak for it.

I spoke at Kalamazoo 10 years ago. Medievalists are a quirky bunch, and having them all together in one place makes for a fabulously quirky conference. There are plenty of folks there for whom Kalamazoo is the highlight of the year.

Sounds to me like she lasted only five years in the entire industry. That's short for tech too.

On the flip side, I recently was hiring for a senior engineer position, where I specified individuals only, and was inundated with emails from firms who were sure they could "help me out" with a "full-service solution."

Google is betting on a system that depends really heavily on detailed mapping. I'd love to know their plan for determining when the map is out of date, because of road construction or whatever. That seems like the hardest part of the w

If "bro" is gender-neutral, I'm pretty confused about that whole "bros before hoes" thing.

No, the US is not exporting its stupidity to the UK in this case. There's a reason those units are called "imperial."

The stock quote and hangman plugins are really just demos. Where services like this really shine is when you integrate them with your existing systems. Starting a Jenkins build from your Slack channel is pretty nifty.

The key words there are "police department." I agree 100% that a police department should be held accountable for using a test that appears to be about as useful as a Cracker Jack decoder ring. But this case was about the office

Not particularly. There are lots of ways to find out whether someone wants to talk to you. Eye contact is a good one. So is general demeanor. So is whether or not they're burying themselves in their smartphone.

"Pretty women who are unaccompanied want you to talk to them." Or, you know, you could treat pretty women as human beings with their own ideas about whom they want to talk to. But that's so much harder!

Certainly, and your interpretation is logical. I agree the original commenter didn't necessarily mean to imply that. However, they appear to have bought into a kind of false dichotomy that gets applied to women and minorities all too o

Right. My title is Senior Software Engineer, with the corresponding experience and salary, but since my degrees are not in one of those three fields, I'm only tangentially involved in tech. Thanks for providing such a succinct demonstr

Indeed. What you're describing is the principle of moral proximity: the closer someone is to you, the greater your obligation to help them.

Remember, we have a lot of land. What you're seeing is an area that was used in the past but not really being used right now, so it's essentially being left fallow. Those images are not evidence either for or against Flint being

You make it sound pretty simple. It's not simple at all. Having untreated depression or anxiety during pregnancy also has bad effects on the child. This is not a decision you make based on one study you read on the internet. You make

This article is very one-sided. It's simply an interview with the author of the paper. I would very much like to see what other experts in the field are saying, especially because I think the causation claims here are pretty bold for a

Not all the opposition to the light bulbs regulation was corruption and posturing. Some of it was quite reasonable objections from consumers along the lines of "hey, I buy that product, and there's no good substitute at a reasonab
