So... Tearing down a straw man then. You could've just said "yes". (The operative part of that reply was "hours after it was amended". Your rant, and 90% of the other replies on this thread, added nothing at all

I was under the impression that amending > editing if the text in question had been discussed or quoted. In the (extremely) unlikely event that I post here again, I'll be sure to stealth edit any changes instead.

And your reason for posting this pedantic diatribe hours after the original post was corrected to "objectified female bodies" is... What? To revel in a pedantic takedown of a straw man?

If muscular men were dramatically underrepresented in STEM careers, and particularly EE, then I would have a problem with that. If you really want to pursue this line of thinking, what if a female nurse had posted a hobby page wherein she d

I assume you're not serious... But maybe you're not seeing the same images as everyone else. Most of us see these on his page: http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/bchafy/test_rgb/testrgb.jpg http:/&

Honestly, the fact that all his "demo" screens are filled with porn, on a university page, is almost as interesting (in a sociological sense) as the actual clever image multiplexing hack. I just hope he's only a student, an

It's interesting that one of the only Ivy programs which is essentially immune to this gaming of the system is Harvard Business School, which allows only one semi-optional free-form essay ("What else would you like us to know?&qu

3 significant failures, one of them big. My conclusion is that for a multitude of reasons (most of which are well known) having involved investors reduces my chances of success considerably. And all they offer is money. Money is cheap.

The happiest moment of my entrepreneurial life was after my second exit, when I realized that I could self-fund/bootstrap my next venture comfortably and never deal with a VC again. Meddling, conniving & power-drunk busybodies, al

Aaaand, that's one more op system I can look forward to replacing with Redis. Totally off-topic, but I have such a fangirl crush on Salvatore Sanfilippo... Every time he posts I get butterflies.

Not necessarily. You're assuming that the factors which drive women out of engineering do so independent of ability. I would hypothesize that this is false, that the most interested and passionate women are least likely to be nudged ou

I can verify that, when inebriated, I am a terrible judge of character, and trust many people I shouldn't (even when my friends try to warn me off)... The number of times I've gone out questing while drunk and ended up in the com

I'd love to see a comparison among the same sample set between Java8 & Scala as the next environment they're likely to use. Scala has been "the next big thing" for a while now, but I'm just not convinced that th

As we move intelligence to the client, we're starting to use a lot of data queries which were never meant for the wire. (Particularly in IT applications.) Having a way to filter in those cases would save having to write & maintain

I find this a bit implausible... "How much money" exists in the world is not a terribly difficult number to ballpark. When someone stashes money offshore it doesn't disappear, it just becomes unidentifiable. It still goes i

If he doesn't like gay marriage, he doesn't have to get gay married. But contributing a significant amount of money to take away that option from someone else is wrong. And to believe it's his right to take that option away

Not saying it's easy or even plausible (though just asking nicely would probably do it for verification). Just that it'd be nice.

Totally serious. Try to imagine reading this as a female developer/founder. It's not that it's all crazy/insulting/aaargh, but enough is. And it's happening without our input. So. Frustrating.
