Did you consider github enterprise or atlassian stash? I personally think gitlab is preferable, but github and bit bucket offer internal deployments.

For stuff like this, why don't people just set up their own donation site? The target audience isn't necessarily off-put by other steps, and you can get past the kickstarter fees.

I'm surprised no one pointed out the fact that marsupials actually have bifurcated genitalia.

I remember many people, especially Scott Aaronson, questioned D-Wave back when I was in school. Has anything changed recently regarding the community's opinion?

" following this stupid Internet drama" You know why you should pay attention to this? One day, you may find yourself in the same situation that the SendGrid CEO is in today. At that point, knowing how to react stands between a momentary

With most firms, when you join you are required to sign an agreement. In that agreement, usually it is stated that you agree to comply to a certain employee handbook or standards of conduct. If she violated the standards of conduct, since

I don't understand that ad TBH. If they are trying to get males to purchase tee-shirts, wouldnt you want to show a male wearing the tee-shirt? I understand the idea of selling for sexuality, but most retail companies advertise men's cloth

"No court would consider him guilty of anything for a joke about a dongle." I'm not an employee of playhaven, but I'm sure new employees sign employment agreements. Usually those agreements reference standards of conduct and that violation

I have it on good authority that many tech news sources draw material from comments on this and other sites like reddit.

Keep in mind that PlayHaven probably sponsored his participation in PyCon and he would have been treated as a representative of the company. If they have standards of conduct (probably codified in some employee manual) there are probably co

"Where do you draw the line on sexualisation at a tech conference?" I hope that this discussion helps us get closer to a good answer to that question.

Given that one employee was retained and the other was let go, the firing could not have stemmed 100% from the issue at hand. One person was clearly not a " valued employee," unlike the other person from playhaven.

"They could have paid for his PyCon expenses (therefore he was there representing the company), and they felt that he did a poor job representing the company." Doesn't explain why one person is still an employee while the other gentleman wa

I for one am very glad that this happened. It's unfortunate that two people were fired, but I haven't seen such fervent discussion of gender issues, social media, and social norms in a very long time.

She is not sorry for what she said, and that's fine. That's her prerogative. I take issue with people blaming her for the company firing the guy. She didn't accuse them of a felony or other crime. She pointed to what she thought was ina

I don't think anyone here is judging the comparative difficulties of various groups of minorities. It's recognized that most minority groups do face discrimination.
