I'd never seen SocialSharePrivacy either (It's linked in the page code), but it's an interesting idea: http://panzi.github.io/SocialSharePrivacy/

No. I suggest that genders should be represented equally in all fields of study.

Thanks. I assumed it was ignorance on my part and I was right. His "The Male Programmer Privilege Checklist" is a depressing, informative read. http://geekfeminism.wikia.com/wiki/Male_Programmer_Privilege...

The evidence is self evident: Women perform equally to men in school/college in related subjects (better than men in the UK). Women make up 51% of the population. ∴ Our industry is ignoring half the talent.

I'd take his word for it as my tests are 10 years old! And my apologies - looking back it was Patricia trees I was using as you can take a pointer to a mid-point in the path: useful for disk caches etc. I was using them for small dicti

Tries are great for caching URLs & other path-like data. I've found them to be faster (and smaller) than hashes for these purposes in the past. However, this was back in the days of tiny caches. I suspect they may have lost the edg

As I understand it (an I may be wrong here) transgender is the movement of gender so you are transgender only when you are in flux. Once you have arrived in your preferred gender you are no longer transgender so would normally be described

The Tech industry has many male asian speakers, I suspect there is still a strong white-male majority (I can't find any reliable figures) but asian (men) are the other race who seem to be well established in the world of IT . We do hav

So am I right in thinking that HPHPc is around 6x faster than Zend and HHVM so far adds another 40%? i.e. HHVM is currently 8x faster than Zend and still getting faster?

Wow. I just read the man page for tsort and I am none the wiser. tsort takes a list of pairs of node names representing directed arcs in a graph and prints the nodes in topologi-cal order on standard output. It's not often I

I think you are misunderstanding how branding & pricing works. Chanel perfume can be bought for $100; a Chanel suit for $2000. A new Ferrari will cost $300,000; a Ferrari T-shirt is $75. An $850 iPhone fits nicely into this, especially

The stock pretty much always falls after Apple announce something. I assume the reasons are complex — anything new is a risk, anything old is a lower-margin version. Historically, you cannot make any accurate predictions of Apple's suc

I don't see how adding commentary to the comic would have added anything. 'Relevant' linking is an art and in this case it was artfully done. You don't want to ruin the punchline, if any, as if done correctly the juxtapo

I'm amazed that you would think mine is an extremist view. If you have a major flood in your garden you don't rush to sort out a dripping tap. First you tackle the flood then you investigate the tap. Anyone shouting 'the tap,

This highlights major problems our community suffers while the comments here clearly demonstrate a few more. It's all very disappointing. We are not doing ourselves any favours here. 1. Many male developers assume that they are in an a

The problem with CircleShake was not the App itself but the sniggeringly-schoolboy manner in which it was presented. Schoolboy humour is something that boys (and men) do when they get together in all-male environments. It is reasonably harm

I have worked for many. How many female developers does your company have? Mine has 0/6. My previous company, that actively sought female developers had around 15%, the company before that had 3 out of 100+, before that one out of 30.

Show me proof of prevention. You are confusing cause and effect. You are concentrating on a tiny percentage of evidence in the counter direction hugely outbalanced by the weight of evidence in the main direction. Sexism is a huge problem fo

Sexism is not a problem for men as long as men hold most of the power and are afforded most of the best opportunities. Equality is not about uniformity — it is about the overall balance. You are picking small examples where women outnumber

Feminism is about the equality of opportunity and power . You cannot create a picture of equal sexism by demonstrating a low-power, low-economic status, low opportunity-of-career-advancement role (that has traditionally been a female-onl

It's not about women at all. sigh In an already male-biased community the non-inclusivity of demos like these put out a very specific message to women: this is not for you . The tit staring demo puts out a worse message: th
