And what if she's using the relationship to get ahead? What, are we going to pretend that women are powerless, agentless puppets that smart, capable men can use? If the company you're in doesn't prohibit relationships,…
..... And what if the accusation isn't credible, and it wouldn't actually hold up in court to fire him because of it?
Rubin deserves to be punished for sexual harassment.... IF, in fact, he sexually harassed, right? A) What in the hell was his partner doing reporting to his place of business that she felt like he had compelled her to…

I've got to say, I think this is parallel to the issue that faaaaaaar too many people are getting bachelor's degrees. Generic sales jobs require them at this point, which is nuts. One should absolutely be able to get a…
You got a few. Satisfied?
He says it's a problem that can be tackled, it just hasn't been yet. Like you look at a square block, and you need to get it in a square hole, you just haven't gotten to it. It's not the language of someone that isn't…
Mhm. I try to. Why? Are you implying I prefer functional programming? I don't. I don't have a horse in this race.
Motivated reasoning. He prefers imperative programming (or something other than functional programming), so he hears the "criticism" without hearing the solution. I mean, of course he physically hears both, but one is…
Eh, not really. I've learned over the years to avoid providing sources because more often than not the person won't believe you either way and will only use the source as a tangible target for disingenuous attack…

I'm using "mastery" as a shorthand for what he actually said, not literally quoting the man. It's normal human communication that normal humans do every single day and there is no reason I should need to explain that.…
> Saying "I know I am probably biased, so I will act on the margins to try to correct that" is in no way irresponsible. Whether this is true depends on your methods of correction. That's what this whole conversation is…
Whether or not it has value on it's own (which I'm not convinced of in coding). It doesn't matter. Meritocratic hiring has value on its own. The best person getting the job has value on its own. Not including OR…
> But what if there are still biases in hiring? That someone sees a woman and assumes this or that about her based on gender alone? Quotas are not the answer, period. It's not okay to deny someone a job to correct for…
First of all, I was commenting on the quote out of context. That's why I objected to "the way it's phrased." I don't like the phrasing, whatever the context. There is no reason whatsoever that games need to give up…
I don't like the way it's phrased like an exclusive dichotomy, and that games must stop "pandering" to mastery to "embrace" intellectual life. This reads like someone who just likes film but doesn't like videos games…
> and while as a white man I experienced most likely much less of this I think you might be less confident about this if you examine your framing. Examining your own framing is difficult, so humor me while I examine the…
I'm noticing that, which is a little bit of a bummer. One of the other things I disliked about reddit is "science" or "technology" articles about things that are theoretically pretty cool if they exist, but don't, and…
The real question is: Why should it be fair? We don't live in an ideal world, we live in the real one. A "fair" tax rate, even if fairness could be quantified and applied, might very well be a rate that causes…
Jesus, I just found this place while looking for a reddit alternative, and seeing comments like these are making me soooooooooooo happy. This is going to sound pretentious as fuck, but I'm gonna say it anyway: I'm so…
You don't understand. If women are better coders than men, then there are differences between the sexes. If men are more interested in coding than women, regardless of their relative skill, then there is no difference…
