Isn't that comparison unfair, given that AsciiDoc gives you more functionality in a curated whole? Nobody forces you do use all of them. If you just want to use AsciiDoc as "Markdown with more coherent syntax", stick to a sma

Why is that? Given the comparatively low quality of Markdown (as a language), isn't GitHub the only reason why Markdown gets pushed so much? If GitHub chose AsciiDoc instead of Markdown as their base, we would be in a better position n

I guess the purpose is to be able to put different UUID generation schemes into separate kind-of "namespaces". That way, a UUIDv4 (random) will never collide with a UUIDv1 (timestamp+mac+...), which again will never collide with U

First, "heckler" has negative connotation, while the interruption itself was helpful and to the point. Second, attaching such an attribute at all to that person was inappropriate, given she pointed out an obvious misbehaviour of t

I don't get what you are trying to say. I clearly put "talking over people" into the category of informal social rules, not law.

The issue at hand is an example for precisely the opposite. Everybody agrees that the moderator's behaviour was inappropriate, the discussion is mostly about how bad it was (what should the consequences be?) and the label (sexism or

It may be uncomfortable, but it's the only way to make cultural progress. You should especially take care of that if you have any major position in a larger group, not matter if it is a company department, an open-source project or a u

I don't see any "'call out' culture" here. Note that the person in the audience did not say "you are sexist". The words were "Let her speak please". Specific, and to the point. (EDIT: The articl

Yes, the moderator's behaviour would have been wrong against any person, no matter their gender. But it is especially inappropriate when done against those who have to endure this more than others throughout their life. You don't
