Thanks. Reading the license they seem to say the intent is to have to "give something back" for using the code. If we were to release just the portion of the code that uses it, I feel that it would serve as an excellent real-world example o

That's like one guy on this whole thread. Everyone else would be more than happy to see you in an interview. We all would. We're just not seeing you gals come in. We've got quite a few female project managers and business devs at my company

What led you to that conclusion? No, seriously, I want to know. Why don't you feel welcome?

Also: This sentiment that women should be interested in programming jobs, but aren't because they've been damaged by the patriarchy in some way, and now it's up to (predominantly) men to fix this for them - strikes me as a bit sexist. We

If we keep going with your excellent point, it's not hard to see a hypothetical argument for aiming to make everyone in the world equally interested in everything. Proponents of this theory in tech jobs don't seem to understand this. They j

It's only wasted potential if you're sure that a career in technology is superior to any other career or goal in life. That's certainly not true. I'd be curious to see the reaction of you telling a woman who is satisfied with her life that

But the complicated web is what's called "life". It's infinitely diverse and complex, and if some optimal configuration could be discovered and enforced that would lead to this banal goal of "more members of group X in programming jobs", it

I don't get this. Maybe it's because I'm a white male, but it still doesn't make sense to me. Why is there such a resistance to the idea that there might be differences in what groups of people are interested in at any given time? Not an is

I don't see what's wrong with his pricing model. He's basing his price on what it would cost someone, starting from nothing, to go out and create a picture like that. It's actually a discount in that regard since most people would have to s

I wonder how I earn a living doing what I do, and have never heard the word "bookmarklet". Reading the definition I know what they are, I've just never heard the term until now. One nice thing about HN is that I can admit to such things bec

What I've found has helped the most is moving into a house with a real office in it and only working in there. My condo was a work free-for-all. Working variously in the kitchen, bedroom and living room imbued the entire place with an emoti

I don't understand these blackouts. I would think that televising an event will get people excited and make them want to buy tickets so they can see the action in person. It seemed to work that way for the Blackhawks.

Do the electrons really get squeezed closer to their nuclei? I thought that only happened in massive collapsing stars where gravity overpowers everything.

My company has had this setup for the past 12 years. We have a small office with desks and conference rooms anyone can grab if they are free. It works well. I work from home 99.9% of the time, but sometimes it's nice to go into the office f

Yes, but I'm talking about cancer. The fact still remains that the statement "Most smokers will not get lung cancer" is a controversial statement for some reason, even though it is demonstrably true.

That's probably not correct. The grandmother playing Russian Roulette is truly the beneficiary of random chance. She's still susceptible to bullets. The centenarian smoker likely was never susceptible to smoking-induced lung cancer in the f

Which backs up what I said. It's really unusual to see anyone talk about the actual lifetime risk. It's not as scary as saying "your chances are X times greater"... greater than what? If those numbers are accurate, and entirely due to the e

But most smokers will be exceptions. Most smokers will not get cancer. They get cancer significantly more often than non-smokers, but that's not scary sounding enough, I guess.

The wording of the question negates the necessity of that as a choice.

This reminds me a bit of the working for Radio Shack come-on... They tell you it's minimum wage plus commission. Then your first check comes and you find out it was minimum wage OR commission, whichever is higher. $25,000 is a pipe dream fo

3,000 is not hard to reach if you eat 3 times a day, especially if it's "healthy home cooking". Paradoxically, if you skip breakfast and eat 2 middle-of-the-road fast food meals a day, it's hard to hit 3,000 calories. All sounds like such l
