Yes! Static and dynamic code analysis (for JVM a popular analysis tool is Findbugs, which is incidentally built into InrelliJ; another one that's okay that I've used before is Coverity Code Advisor) are what you're looking fo

We've fucking killed them all, just like the predators.

Interesting. We have done that for people of any gender in grad programs before when hiring for targeted roles suited for their specialty, but not to my knowledge for candidates by gender.

Yeah I'd rather have the teenager (or, actually, since it's been awhile since I saw a fast food clerk under the age of 40, the probable mom of several teenagers) for that reason. Even though it may be more efficient for the custom

Who's "them" in this case? I think it's important to respect everyone. Part of respect is fair treatment.

As someone who has hired both males and females for junior and senior engineering positions at several companies, what you are saying is not the case. The coding challenges and interviews are the same. The decisions of hiring committees I h

Yeah after 1-2 presentations I built a template and just drop stuff into each slide I have defined. Then if I need more slides I copy the framework bit for a single slide. Super easy.

Maybe you might want to spend some time with LaTeX then. Honestly, it's one of the most useful things I learned in school.

Wonderful, I had no idea what Noise was, or Signal for that matter, or NNCP despite reading the article. Thanks for the links! Guess I'll get back to my punch cards.

I've never done this with UUCP, but if you don't care about anonymity you could do two-way authenticated TLS (both client and server have and present certs). Maybe you could do a ratcheting protocol like Signal does, instead, whic

This is a problem tech could solve. I don't see what stops us from monetizing saving the reefs via charging for eco-friendly tourism in pristine ocean.

If a person theoretically spoke French and English but had not yet studied German, would that make such a leap more difficult?

I know what it means. If I'm paying for part of a house with a proper kitchen I will be cooking like a human at least two nights a week; no takeout and soylent here.

The words "light cooking" make me angry.

People can really easily abuse the Makefile ecosystem and write complicated, difficult to read, spaghetti builds. If something fails somewhere in the m4 macro forest while building on your specific machine, you're hosed for potentially

Isn't this old news? I heard about it roughly four months ago and don't work for either company.

That's pretty polarizing. I think I said something to the effect of not developing the same, not "failing to develop any empathy at all". I and many of my friends have kids. They don't come into contact with each other m

Having more advantages is exactly the problem talking about. People, especially kids, need to scrabble a bit and fight for resources in order to learn how to treat the resources themselves and the other parties who might need them respectf

Oddly, I think outright banning fossil fuel refinement and usage would do more. Being an only child seems to be a bit psychologically damaging. I could conjecture for pages here, but suffice it to say I believe one is better off having 2-3

I took a Lyft in Las Vegas where the driver was clearly mentally unstable (sounded and acted it), let us out at the wrong place in an unfamiliar neighborhood in a windstorm, and got out to piss in full view of both his headlights and the fr

Sadly, yubikeys don't work everywhere and can't store more than a couple traditional-style passwords last I checked.

What if one doesn't have a Facebook and is unwilling to give up email for work/NDA reasons?

I am curious as to why you've posted this as a tarball on a private website instead of to Github, Bitbucket, etc.

Being a hard worker is easier than being seven feet tall, though. I know it's disingenuous to say hard work will get you everywhere, but working your ass off and being confident about it will get you pretty far.

That's my plan actually. Once I have nothing to lose I'm going to tell the guy he's being an asshole to the women engineers and ask if he'd consider not doing that because it's a shitty way to treat anyone. Preferab

The problem I'm having with it is he has to know this guy does this. It's not exactly subtle or I likely would not have noticed. He's been in the room before when it happened, and the two of them go out for drinks on Fridays

Most women I know with professional jobs hire nannies as soon as their leave from work is up regardless of field. This isn't about kids.

Trouble is, we are a fifteen person startup and my boss is a friend of that guy's from way back. I honestly would feel odd mentioning it. There's no way to couch it in "what if a hypothetical person..." because he's

One of my coworkers, when he thinks people aren't doing a good job, calls them ladies or girls. He also doesn't listen to the women on our team, insists on pair programming with them if he has shared assignments with them instead
