I guess my history is almost opposite while achieving similar results. However, I get bunched in the same group and expected to feel privileged and guilty. I grew up in another country and went to end of junior + high school in a US school

There is no way riot is less buggy. Try macos to macos Sierra to Yosemite voice call. It segfaults right away. Wire is buggy but generally works. The main problem with it is that metadata is collected by default.

I was responding to a post about design, so this reply was about design. Yeah, it's a subjective opinion. Something looking good is also an opinion. What I mean by non-functional is that the attempt at design was non-functional on my b

I don't know. It looks non-functional and ugly to me. https://i.imgur.com/DmPKqhM.png This is in contrast to something like nytimes.com which is really well designed.

I also stopped using after 0.3 and tried it recently again to speed up some NLP code in Python3 and it hasn't been faster than Python3. Back then I didn't like the poor support for pyjulia, slow string processing, people using uni

I disagree with the company/individual distinction premise but even if you ignore individual contributions it's fairly even. Doesn't seem like a distinctly partisan issue.

I was denying that it was partisan, not supporting the notion.

Thiel was attacked nonstop and people were organizing to stop using PayPal which he is only tangentially affiliated with. Uber CEO had to stop his collaboration as Lyft started catching up for the first time in a long time. Elon also faced

If anyone does this in the bay area and it's public, they will likely be burnt at the stake.

I think it's worse. It might provide some low quality entertainment as a TV replacement, which just takes up people's time. It might be in that person's interest at the time but not in the interest of society in general.

I feel sorry for her, and her story is probably an example of sexism at the workplace. That is when her boss says that Martin's style is feminine and that that is bad. However, the linked Martin's story is not a good test of sexis

How would you implement graphemes compatibility if you can have unlimited number of code points combine into a grapheme? Designing an efficient storage solution for such text seems like a nightmare. Any time you define an upper limit, someo

Thanks! Regarding food vs jobs, I think it's not a very good analogy because a) almost every job has a lot to it that could be interesting for anyone We are not limiting all jobs to "Wordpress site template maintainer for small e-

The whole point is changing it in such a way that everyone "wants" to do these in-demand jobs. Chinese students aren't unhappy with their job choices. Edit: I think the easiest way is to simply not force people to self-answer

The nature of the work in all of these fields is different. My point is that women are not less qualified, but just less interested in a career of doing the kind of work software engineers do. It is very very different from applied math an

>very unlikely that computer technology is unique among the professions in being suited to men There are a bunch of other professions where women are under/over-represented. CS is one of them. Others include: Mechanical Engine

As someone who went to NYC public school where all food options are extremely unhealthy, I can say that this has mostly to do with culture. Eastern European immigrants stayed thin. Chinese immigrants stayed thin. Immigrants from some other
