Carlisle I don't know if you're going to read this. Before I met you I truly believed in equal opportunities for both sexes. I also believed that men and women have different advantages when it comes to gender and that…
>Your complaints are entirely anecdotal, meanwhile it's very easy to point at empirical data showing how women are treated poorly. Show me the data for this specific case of horizontal movement in engineering…
Because I support equal opportunity for all genders. I assume this is what feminism supports as well. Is there somewhere in my post where I implied otherwise? Please cite what I said that made you think I am not a…
Good point. It's an attraction thing. Women who are unattractive do not have these advantages.
So your saying women have zero advantages over men? That absolutely none exist or has ever existed? Out of all possible advantages (let's say 1000 in total) your saying men hold 100% of all these advantages and women…
>The problem is that you are likening her to a janitor to create the impression that she has zero programming experience. You're completely right. Change "janitor" to "janitor who went to bootcamp" and my statement…
Nothing wrong with being a feminist. Both genders deserve equal treatment. I consider myself to be a feminist.
How is my statement biased? Men can suffer from unfair treatment as well. I never said anything to discount feminism, I simply stated one case where men are treated less well then women and I caveated that statement…
I didn't say anything hateful towards women. I think women get this better treatment then men but I didn't say they should turn it down nor did I say they didn't deserve it. I simply pointed out a difference. And what…
If she didn't get a pay downgrade to associate swe then she is not even remotely close to starting from scratch. The company is basically letting her learn a new field on their dime, which is fine, but this is basically…
When I said you're the guy that can see the bright side of dog shit I was startlingly accurate. You're that one guy people call "excessively positive." Every time your brain sees something related to "science" it…

It’s even boring to technical people. It reduces intelligence to a multidimensional optimization problem. Now intelligence just involves all kinds of mechanical ways to fill out the weights for a neural network. I use…
There’s really bad statistics for the children of divorced parents. It may be healthy in your some cases but it’s damaging to the child.
This doesn’t effect the result. They are comparing people with children. If you didn’t have children or aborted a child it’s the same as not getting married. You simply aren’t part of the study because you are…

Read carefully. The distinction here is that the type checker must allow for intended behavior within JavaScript while checking for an error. The type checking I am talking about is not a sum type. It is not that the…
It is very possible for a type checker to catch this mistake. I illustrate the intuition here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26046808
The fact that you haven’t used gdb is a huge deal. This is very rare in large C++ projects.
So literally you’re saying the architect is the only person who can write good documentation. Also the architect is the only person who did not write a line of code yet understands the tool better than engineers who…
And I know people who have been effected by big pharma. Anecdotal evidence doesn't fly in the face of a journalistic documentary. There's tons of docs on the crisis and the blame is squarely on big pharma. Do some…
It's very possible for everyone to be guilty. We don't live in a world where if something isn't "useful" it isn't true. Your statement ends up reading sort of like "Is every Nazi guilty of the holocaust?" Technically…

Different numbers produce different results in the same arithmetic expression. Here's the concept of conditional expressions explained via a mathematical text:…
Weirdly, programming this stuff not from scratch can be harder if you use the apis that will utilize the GPU like vulkan or modern opengl.
