Perhaps the author was using it as a demonstration of how easy it is to overlook the direction of your own escalator, being that she certainly has an advantage over some minorities because of her ethnicity.

Very cool! I've seen this technique before in research papers and their videos, but not as actual software. The one suggestion I would make is to follow Photoshop's shortcuts. Space-Drag to move the image, [ or ] to change the brush size, s

Do you refuse to hand over your passport to hotels that require it for foreign visitors? Do you follow the waiter back to the payment terminal after handing over your credit card to make sure they don't copy it? Personally, I would trust A

Joel spells it out in his announcement[1]. In the future we'll continue to add free features to Trello (there is a lot of exciting stuff in the hopper)—anything that is a common feature, useful to anyone, will be free. We’ll also continue

Knowing what I do about Fog Creek (which includes no specific information on this particular question) I would very much doubt they would ever do that. The support costs for self hosting are just too high to justify the expense. Often these

Like I said, I don't know your wife, so I can't comment. But she's not the point, anyway. The point is that you hear of "girls not being good at math and science" much more frequently. But when you control for societal factors, there's noth

I would guess it has to do with both the way enough people have behaved in the past while drinking heavily, as well as the nearly unassailable excuse of "I didn't mean it, I was just a little tipsy." Note that at a conference, even at the a
