Hmm... I wonder what would be the implications of one with positive reinforcement: "Wow @Dave! that's the smartest code I've ever seen! just one thing, there's a probably-not-that-important error on line 56"

Actually, a machine never accuses you of being the responsible of that error. It usually says "there's an error in the line..." but never addresses it towards the programmer even though they know that they are the responsible

It's not only that. People making searches can end up finding those tweets. If the only thing that they see is the wrong statement of trolls, they can think that those statements are true. On internet, repetition is assumed as real so

There's nothing I can argue about what you have said. I would love to see that change, I don't have any special desire of making women uncomfortable at their workplace and even less to feel myself uncomfortable around them. I woul

I read your post when it was around here in HN and a few more. I think you are part of - what I think is a minority - of women that don't agree with everything that carries the flag of feminism and actually discern if a particular thin

I would say that the problem is the overprotective treatment women have lately but maybe that's a naive thought of mine (since I can't be fully in the position of a woman).

This is what annoys me. With a male colleague I don't have to size my words or rethink too much what to say to ask for a coffee and a chat about work. Even if you have the best intentions you end up having difficulties to express somet

Do you know mechanography? I know some people that can't get used to it too and I think it's because they haven't learned by heart the distribution of the keys (something that someone capable of typing with both hands on a de

Ok, but this comparison seems a bit unfair since there are tools to "type" words faster like Swipe-to-Type. I mean, it has been literally years since I typed continuously character by character in the old-fashion way (there are al

One thing that works for me is to think how much I will regret not having tried when I had the chance. If it happens to you too, maybe those regretful feelings will be worse than give it a try and be embarrassed about the result (whatever i

It depends on what is refraining you from achieving it. Is it because you aren't confident enough? is it because you haven't achieve your most important goals in your life? is it because you are introvert? the most you understand

I would say that men are less prone to small talk and after leaving college, most of the shared topics that create bonds between us disappear, leaving us with just a few things to talk about (in my opinion one of the reasons why when we mee

A bit of off-topic but I've always wondered if e-sports could be perdurable as well since the interest of the developers goes towards making more money than making it better (improving its rules, adjusting times, etc.).

Couldn't be the robotic voice more understandable for foreign people than one with a funny accent? Specially with messages like those that seem to be aimed at foreign people than native ones.

In general is a very rewarding experience and in 7cups.com it's also very comfortable to do it (I don't have experience in other similar services so I can't talk about them). You don't have any pressure on when or how ma

After almost a year volunteering in 7cups.com as a listener, I can't agree more with the article. When you show genuine interest for what other people are telling you, they will talk openly for hours and will leave the conversation fee

Maybe they can start a kickstarter campaign to get funds for it. I'm pretty sure that a better UI would attract a lot of users that now hesitate between using Photoshop or GIMP.

Not really. Think about this: how many of these jobs end up being under qualified jobs? in some places, hiring a certain percent of women grants you some benefits from the government. Also, do you think their opinions, work, etc. will be ap

Just a question for you: do you feel happy when a woman comes to work with you because of what she can contribute or because she is a woman? I read a statement that reflects this very well: "when a woman is treated different, it doesn&

I think this is a change that cannot be done just after retiring because the mindset is not prepared. This is something that has to be cultivated during years so when the moment of retirement comes, you keep doing your alternative things in

The problem is that you prioritize your work over others' work. Being blocked is not an excuse to treat people poorly, so whenever it happens, just focus on another task until you can continue. Use that blocked time to learn something

The problem is that the EU countries have a long history of fighting against each other and their cultural differences are too big to keep them together. There isn't the sentimental feeling of America in the EU, people don't feel
