Do a web search for unconscious bias. Google has been doing a bunch of research on this lately.

What do you mean it isn't stored? How do we know that?

Depending on the person I'm talking to, I have two approaches. 1. Do you trust the government that will be in place 20 years from now? Most of those people are now teenagers. 2. We don't know what law changes may happen in the

Public health issues like vaccination aren't like other issues. Vaccination decisions aren't made in a bubble where only you suffer if you get sick or become a carrier. There will always be a certain portion of the populace that

You're not really involved in the security community, are you.

I wonder who would be deserving, then?

Don't get so caught up in worrying about the future. Even if you do everything exactly right, things will change down the road. Just be sure to write lots and lots of tests. You'll thank me later :)

I have two friends who didn't have last names until they moved to the US and were forced to make some up.

I at one point had a name that was extremely long. Because it was in two pieces rather than four, it was usually misspelled rather than truncated.

I have a rather long name, and always get irritated about tiny signature boxes.

At any point before the firing, she had the power to put a halt to a lot of this. She could have gone on Twitter and her blog and posted, "I'm so sorry this has happened. The person in question has apologized. I would like to request tha

I love dasher. It was very helpful for me in writing emails when I was unable to use one hand. One handed keyboards were actually slower once I got used to both of them. It just doesn't work well for coding, but it's great for other Engl

I've experienced something similar to what you describe. There are times when I am new to a group, that I will be constantly told how very valuable to the group I am, how awesome I am, how happy they are to have me, etc; often before I've b

Thanks for your input. I have access to a typography nerd and will ask for a recommendation :)

Genuine question: How are you able to follow a class in which you don't speak the language? Are you just following the examples and the book?

I've heard from many women a concern that they haven't worked on any "real" projects. They might be a college grad who did a very complex senior project, they might have built websites for a volunteer organization, there was even one that

I'm one of the owners of this blog, and genuinely interested in your input on the font size. I don't have great vision, and tend to browse everything at 110-120%, depending on the site. Is your complaint the specific pixel size, or do you

It is absolutely not too sensitive of an issue to discuss openly. If we can't talk about it, it just festers and creates anger. The problem with this kind of thing is the the people that got in solely on merit assume that people who fit in

There are assumptions that are made of certain speaking patterns. The voice tonal thing makes it sound like everything is a question. "I think I would be a great fit for this company?"

I think the majority of people are not against women in tech. Most of the issues are fairly unconscious bias. Some people just assume women aren't as good at tech jobs as men are. Some people assume pretty women are stupid. Some people a

The author went to one of the coding bootcamps, so that's the context for this article. I haven't been to one, but I doubt they have time to get into computer science so much as coding.

That's what we'll be talking about at GeekGirlCon. We can't fit everything cool into every project :)

The information is targeted at women, because that's what we are. We will not turn anyone away, man, woman, trans, or otherwise: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/166494057/ladycoders-get... In my opinion, targeting a message makes mor

We will not turn men away, and they are of course welcome to the information that we're going to put out. We chose women because that's what we are and because we wanted to target some of the issues specific to women. A LOT of the informat

Women and men are raised differently. Things that come natural to you, having been raised male, do not come naturally to a large number of women. Examples include how to make eye contact in an interview and how to shake hands properly. I

Disclaimer: I'm one of the people on this project. The point of this project is not to convince women to go into tech, that is completely out of scope. The point is to help women that are qualified but don't interview well or know how to d
