6 hours has always been enough for me. Yep, that's at least one genetic advantage you have on most of us.

I like the bizarro social context expression. It's a great way to describe how I work with female programmers and both my project managers are female and nothing like the described behavior would ever be tolerated for a second, and yet each

Still, why would you want someone as a manager who would keep his own wife's car locked up at work because she failed to be properly respectful?Still, why would you want someone as a manager who would keep his own wife's car locked up at w

Because being young does not mean you have to be immature, and sexism should have nothing do with either immaturity and youth.

I don't know about you, but I deal with jerks all of the damn time. But luckily no more or less than all of my peers. This would be very different if I was a woman. And we wouldn't reduce male interaction by 50%, we would increase female pa

job interviews in which she was shown pictures of her interviewer's bare ass; Holly horror story! Sadly I am not surprised to hear this, because I've heard many similar stories. And yet out of the very large number of male friends in the

I can't seem to find a study which showed that while only %3 of men ever make such comments, women involved in our community experience this a steady stream of subtle harassment. And the sad fact is that this is due to the lopsided share of

No, the plot of Inception really is very complicated, unless you're a computer programmer Personal anecdote: My friend who is in marketing and is not at all a geek also thinks if you have half a brain the plot is obvious. She has no speci

Why are there no birds even close to the weight of adult human males? Why do birds have a huge keel-like breastbone on which equally huge and powerful flight muscles attach? If energy required to take of scales geometrically with weight,

Absolutely fake. If this is not obvious to you, learn more physics.

Should I give up everything to be a bus driver, a photographer, and move to a quiet town, leave the city and all of my skills and knowledge? Nah, just take a really long vacation. Like a year or two.

What do you think of the approach to TV censorship in Europe, where fantasy violence is blurred, but nudity and sex are not?

Offices, real offices for each developer are best. However, open-plan is still better than cubicles. Cubicles share all the problems of open-plans + you stare at the walls of your cubicle. I'd love to have an office but I prefer open plans

It's just how the US is. I was watching a very violent move, late at night, on a cable channel. All kinds of violence - no problem. Suddenly an inured woman is being given first aid, in the process one nipple falls out of her shirt briefly

My understanding is that hydrocarbon using fuel cells run hot, really, really HOT. Which is why they are regularly used in race cars, but not in many other places.

The answer to the question Baker posed lay in a set of mathematical rules called an algorithm. I never cease to be amazed just how low the math level is in our culture. And how acceptable it is to be publicly that math ignorant. It was d

nations with higher atheism are the ones with the least problems It should be plain to see that development came first, then more atheism. This should be very obvious in Europe's history. I think you're confusing a symptom of chaos and br

On the Anglophone Internet for sure, dominated as it is by the US and UK. But what ever Scandinavian or Dutch written parts of the Internet there might be, small as they are, should be refreshingly free of Victorian baggage.

We try to do the same thing for C++, Java, and Python, but it doesn't work as well because the process is manual. Use http://astyle.sourceforge.net and add it to your build process and/or commit or push/pull hooks of your source control

It's an article oriented to relating to non-programmers what it is like to learn to program I am not sure that is true. I think it is one very non-technical person's experience with self-thought Ruby. And as such it is very much what you'

Well the US military involvement does mean it gets some of the lowest priced oil. What's the price of a gallon of gasoline up to in Europe now, $9 or something? I think most of the time it is something like triple what the US pays. And yet

It is true the OECD countries are currently bending the developing world over backwards. But this does not mean that the OECD needs that kind of advantage. We might not be as rich without it, but we would still be quite rich. Also there's

I hope we can wipe poverty off the earth soon. Most of the industrialized world can be said to have done that. Western Europe, Japan, probably Canada too. It is easy* and requires only low levels of corruption, good law and order, combine

I don't have a phone in my pocket because I hate carrying it. But I do have a wristwatch. If modern smart-phones, and all the things they do, can be turned into wristwatches - great! Then I will have one.
