My question is, should we really have "programs" to "integrate women into engineering disciplines"?

All of those things are fantastic but extremely isolated. Some of those things make the news every time they happen. Agendered thinking is pretty marginal.

Why not call it "GoldieBlox: The Cute Engineering Toy"? Why enforce gender roles? Isn't the title kind of saying "Girls like cute stuff, boys don't ever like cute stuff, and the only way to get girls interested in engineering is to make it

"Another result that derives from Gödel's ideas is the demonstration that no program that does not alter a computer's operating system can detect all programs that do. In other words, no program can find all the viruses on your computer, un

Just to make sure Sweden wasn't actually trying to banish gender, I kept reading: "The idea is that names should not be at all tied to gender, so it would be acceptable for parents to, say, name a girl Jack or a boy Lisa." The funny thing i

You don't seem to be getting the point; you do not, in fact, have it straight. The Point: people are usually good at things because they enjoy doing them. People succeed at "careers" or other "things-that-take-a-long-time-to-succeed-at" bec

In fact: max(wordlist, key=(lambda w: intersect(w, charlist)) should replace a good portion of the create_mnemonic function. But now I'm just showing off. Just letting you know that Python is much cooler than you know. Haskell, however, cou

Looking at your Python script. Might want to learn about the built-in set() functionality. For exmaple: def uniqueletters(s): return set(c for c in s) def intersect(word, charlist): return len(uniqueletters(word).intersection(charlist))

A little documentation: This works with both expressions and actual code. For example, if "5 % 3" is in your clipboard, you get: 2 and if "print 5 % 3" is in your clipboard, you also get: 2 plus: "a = 6 a*3" in clipboard does yield: 6

I haven't tested it on Windows yet. The GUI is done with GTKBuilder, it relies on an image viewer and a scanning program native to Linux, but those commands can be changed. Not sure how much of this would work.
