Does her no tele-commuting policy not make her inconsiderate of employees who can't afford to build their own nurseries in order to spend the same amount of time with their families that she does? The message she is sending is that she expe

The issue is a CEO who can afford to build themselves a nearby nursery for their newborn yet expects employees who can't afford such a privilege to follow a policy that prevents them from telecommuting in order to enjoy the same sort of fam

I don't understand where this response is coming from. I said nothing about gender. I can't actually think of a situation in which male CEOs, and male managers in general ("pointy haired bosses"), aren't relentlessly mocked. Attempting to p

It seems a bad thing to me to expect that employees give up telecommunication even for family reasons when the CEO doesn't have to endure such a tough choice because they get a special CEO nursery.

I consider it controversial if the reasoning behind a policy is one the CEO isn't required to endure because of perks.

Perspective is always something that one should maintain, but I can't help but roll my eyes at any response to bad news that invokes the phrase "white western people". It makes your viewpoint seem politically motivated.

The harshness of your reply seems unwarranted.

I would be too afraid to base a business on a language that's only two years old. It's not even a guarantee that the language will remain supported by Google in the long term, given their periodic house-cleaning.

It's amusing how nearly all of the most interesting and popular questions I see on StackOverflow are closed by moderators for not being good or constructive.

Not only does Apple get criticized all the time, they get criticized the most by their own fans, as five minutes spent on any popular Apple forum would illustrate. Anyone who thinks that they get a pass for everything is intentionally ignor

It's quite reasonable to assume that the comment was meant in exactly the way you're describing: a tongue-in-cheek parody of sexual terminology. All things considered, rather harmless and inoffensive in this day and age and really quite a s

Well, Adria's posting of the picture without consent was itself a violation of PyCon's code of conduct. Frankly, it's hard to understand her position when she made the same kind of dick joke on Twitter in public to a friend where everyone c

The fact that there are some comments on Reddit calling Adria Richards a bitch doesn't seem relevant to this submission. You can find crazy opinions on the internet from either side of a politically charged story submitted here. The communi

Being offended by that type of humor is certainly one thing, but I can't figure out why Adria seemed so upset by it when she publicly made the very same type of joke on Twitter with a friend of hers ( https://twitter.com/adriarichards/statu

Nobody's arguing Adria doesn't have the right to post what bothers her on her blog. Just as much, the community has the right to vocalize their disagreement with her actions because of their potential consequences. On Twitter and elsewhere,

One person's receipt validation bug hardly means the "walled garden" (so sick of that term) is dangerous because his update review is taking a week. He's the one who made the mistake. Other computing platforms, such as consoles, have had ce

I'm aware of the reasons why . It's still inconsistent to users. Remember that Lua is targeted at non-professional programmers.

Obviously there are reasons for the behavior, but it's still inconsistent to users who are exposed to your scripting API to have: if 1 then print "true" end if 1 == true then print "never prints" end Not a reason to avoid the langu

You're explaining the implementation, which I understand. There are reasons behind everything in the infamous "Wat!" video. The inconsistency is in conceptual expectations: (0) is true, (not 0) is false, yet (0 == true) is false. These are

It's also not true: > if 0 then print "true" end true > 0 == true => false I know why this is the case. But it's a logical inconsistency for users of the language.

by vor_ 14y ago
Lua's treatment of boolean expression does lead to inconsistencies. For example: function Func1() return 1; end function Func2() return true; end if(Func1() == Func2()) then print "They're both the same!" else print "They
