I doubt the new CoC will provide any benefit, but it probably won't provide any significant harm either. In any case, the kernel community is one place where we are all truly free to vote with our feet.

The point is that there's nothing particularly special about belief in God (whatever that might mean). We literally know nothing about almost everything. All believing, all knowledge, is a clash with reality. See for example the All

Can those of us that are not members of desirable under-represented groups assist you by not applying at Gusto?

The truth is that we _know_ almost nothing. That fact clashes with virtually everything we assume in our everyday lives.

Yes. In my case, probably demographics (most likely age). In this case, the employer may be motivated to go through a certain number of steps for the purposes of metrics, even though they have no intention of hiring you. As to how I deal

> that could not have been anticipated Whew! For a moment there, I thought it might have failed due to poor engineering, [sic] that could be corrected in the future.

We're actually accumulating quite a list of these "stop" words. I can think of dozens off of the top of my head, many of which don't seem obviously problematic, but could easily get a person fired if used in the wrong c

This. Skill at interpersonal politics is crucial. You'd do well to read "How to Win Friends and Influence People". And maybe also the entire series of Dilbert comics for a fun intro into how organizations really work. Also

Those who do not understand Dijkstra are doomed to revinvent him. There are plausible, though inferior, arguments for 1-based arrays. This person doesn't even manage to make them, though.

Honestly, this seems pretty typical to me. If you want the idea implemented, you might have to accept the situation. Alternatively, you could make your proposals directly to the manager, or just sit on them. Obligatory quote: "Don&#x

FWIW, my liberal friends also often don't lean towards insults and mocking. Rather, shaming and silencing seem more common (at least in recent years).

Speaking only for myself (again, white/male/old/straight), I'm okay with that, too. It does feel like there's a bias against my groups right now, but this mostly annoys me due to the dummy interview problem I menti

I'm old (and indeed pale, male, and stale), but not sure whether I care about age discrimination or not. If a company thinks they can make more money by not hiring me, I don't really want to work there. I _do_ wish there was some

Yes. I spent almost my entire life on the far left, admired and voted for Nader, etc. And being honest, kind of thought the thoughts you're expressing here. By happenstance, a couple of years ago start spending a lot of time with con

Can relate. Anhedonia/depression all my life, and a mid-life divorce devastated me financially and personally. Beyond what others have said, consider the possibility that this is a problem you may have for the rest of your life. Mine

It's only one data point, but the CS curriculum at my local state university (with an instantly recognizable name) is far easier than the one I went through (at a no-name school). Coursework in analysis of algorithms is shallow, and n

Indeed, but not just pseudonyms, as over a surprisingly short time, you'll almost certainly uniquely identify yourself. You really need to be using and rotating "burner" usernames on a quite regular basis. Unfortunately, som
