The problem is that those candidates also support other things. If they donated money to these candidates, they are responsible for those other things too.

It sounds like a new car name. 2020 Toyota Vercel. Wasn't there a model called the Tercel?

I like Hangouts overall, but the killer feature that's missing is a good gallery view where I can see more than 4-6 participants at a time. Zoom is really good at this.

Why would someone bring it up at every meeting? That's a pretty big straw man argument. I'm sure there are outliers that do that, but they are rare. On the other hand, many gay folks are afraid to even mention their partner at all

Companies themselves are inherently political though, just by existing. They exist in the context of society and are made possible by the legal structures created by politics. And they generally advocate for themselves within the political

Netlify has been pretty great so far. My team was able to use the promise of a super quick CMS integration with Netlify CMS to justify getting out of building another nasty WordPress site (what our editors are familiar with). The actual Net

I wish they spent a bit more time on the CMS part of the equation. It's hugely important to enable content editors to make changes. The solution isn't that valuable if it's limited to devs only. I also don't think there&

Hi! We do have some remote folks and I think we're open to it on a case by case basis. For this front end position we're starting a new team and I think remote would make that pretty difficult at first. Our Platform and Product En

I've had the misfortune of having to maintain and extend a new WP install now, where we used Umbraco before. Literally everything about Umbraco was better except for two things: 1) the requirement to run on Windows 2) the number of ava

Exactly. I don't think they are accounting for how some people react to interviews. I've had candidates who have been explicitly nervous and stuttering, and we've consciously had to decide not to hold that against them. They

Not sure if I communicated what I meant. I think if I was going to set up something using a headless CMS, I would integrate it with a project like React Static. When a user publishes something in the CMS, it would trigger a build of the gen

Ideally, a spike in traffic to your site shouldn't result in taking down your CMS. That's why static site generators are so popular.

As long as we acknowledge that large classes with large methods can also cause problems. Dealt with that before and it is not fun by any means. The worst offenders, though, are the projects that have a LOT of large classes with large method

More rigor is definitely required, but it may not be possible to formally verify AI driven code to the same extent. Aviation software is driven from formal requirements, has a strict set of coding rules, and the generated assembly code is c

Humans can't properly detect the most vulnerable users in all conditions. Not an excuse for this system failing to perform, but all self-driving cars have to do is be a little bit better for net safety to improve. People are notoriousl

I'd argue that it's not just PayPal though, although they've played a part for sure. Credit cards in the US are ubiquitous and offer a very high level of fraud protection that consumers are used to. Of course, that fraud prot

Again, I think the problem is bad devs that will apply for any job regardless of your stated values.

By gender, she's referring to gender identity which is certainly not binary. There is a pretty high correlation between someone's chromosomes, "equipment", and gender identity but it's not 100% and any of those can

I do see your point as well. It's a very tough balance to sort out. But I don't think it's clear cut since some speech essentially _is_ a harmful action. For instance, consider a potential law that would actively discriminate

Here is the section from the memo that I'm referencing: > Philosophically, I don’t think we should do arbitrary social engineering of tech just to make it appealing to equal portions of both men and women. For each of these changes,

I generally agree, but there is a line. See my comment above for a longer take on that.

Words and actions are inextricably linked in complicated ways. I don't know anything about who you are or your situation, but I will say that the "sticks and stones" attitude is much easier to believe in if you've never

I'm not convinced. His repeated use of the words "echo chamber" seems fairly indicative of his views, and I don't think it simply leans conservative. This is all just conjecture though. But either way, if he didn't

I actually find that highly unlikely. Look how fast Damore has been involved with the conservative media. That aside, if he was really convicted in his opinion, do you think he would take the money?

I don't think they necessarily can, in the interest of fostering a welcoming and safe environment for students to learn. Example: "Let's not be scared of having an open, honest, and frank discussion of how Jews have caused th

Where is the evidence that any of these biological differences actually do cause women to choose tech careers less? Sure there are links to studies about the differences themselves, but that's it. And in fact, if you look at the changi

Actually, if you read it closely, this is not true. True, he does suggest a lot of potential actions that could create a more beneficial tech culture for women, but then he goes on to suggest that Google needs to determine if these types of
