That's quite an extraordinary claim. Do you have a source I can read on that?
Sampling bias, exacerbated by what you said. Sampling programmers you see what you observe, but sampling messages received you select for the bad crowd. Especially considering how cheap messages are and the outsize effect a bad apple can have.

It is beyond me where this level of vitriol is coming from, are women that threatening?
I wrote this in response to your original comment, which seems to have been deleted, but it's worth posting here anyway.

You exercised your right to free speech by saying "A woman does what woman always do - seeking attention and throwing tantrums without any logical thought put into it"

I am exercising my right to free speech by saying that I consider your statement an abhorrent characterisation of women, and wholly unrepresentative of any of the women I've worked with in my 25 years in the industry at various companies of various sizes.

Of course, I've probably been lucky, because being an asshole isn't gender-specific, and I've worked with enough women that you'd think I'd have encountered one who was an asshole by now.

Maybe your personal experience does indeed encompass thousands of women and they have all genuinely behaved as you described, or maybe either your sample size is too small, or you should ask yourself if maybe there is a reason why you happen to perceive all women in this way.

With the life experience I have, I would claim there is a strong gender bias here.

I'm a heterosexual male, pushing 40, not too bad looking. No one has ever asked me to sit in their lap, grabbed my but, catcalled after me, or "jokingly" appraised my breasts or other body parts. I've never been anywhere, where I've had to consider the possibility of rape.

How often do you hear females lurking in dark parks, just to hunt down men who they can rape?

Yes, sexual and psychological violence goes both ways, but still females are more often the victims.

It might be totally symmetric in female dominated groups with males being the victims.

What ever that is, males don't get their buts squeezed in elevators by random strangers. Or I'm missing from some action I'm not aware off.
That is a very interesting idea - a kind of meta-ideological legislature for the management of markets. I wonder how such a system could be balanced properly, I can imagine it's difficult to do with little quantitative data on the alternatives (but a huge dataset for our current system).

A pitfall could be the legislation itself: How do you fight lobbying at the fringes of each system - although maybe it's not too bad that it exists, since there is a ceiling for how much a lobby can profit before it is basically disbanded.
> The percentage of actual "this is the desktop I use to earn money" shots is minute.

Fwiw. the desktop I use to earn money looks something out of /r/unixporn, except that it's ugly (no background, etc). Tiling window manager, a few pixel wide borders, firefox (without toolbar, scrollbars, menubar) and a whole lot of xterms with tmux and my favorite 16 colors.

I don't have a pretty background picture, fancy IRC setup or a desktop bar with the song that's playing so it's not worth posting screenshots, but it gets the job done and it's very easy to replicate when I get a new computer (ie. just copy dotfiles over, no need to poke around in config menus of a bunch of applications).
Saying "it's not the industry, it's the people" simply means that you can't fix the problem without fixing the people. Changing a few company policies here and there won't fix anything, especially since we're talking about open-source projects here.

My other comment addresses "if the problem is the people, what's wrong with them exactly, and how can we fix it?"
That's exactly the opposite of reality:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Parliament

From the first paragraph under "powers and functions"

The Parliament and Council have been compared to the two chambers of a bicameral legislature.[44] However, there are some differences from national legislatures; for example, neither the Parliament nor the Council have the power of legislative initiative (except for the fact that the Council has the power in some intergovernmental matters). In Community matters, this is a power uniquely reserved for the European Commission (the executive)

The thing they call a Parliament can't actually change anything about the EU. It can only ask the Commission to do so for it.

> Any "just" and "fair" system could only begin by returning this wealth back to society.

A lot of us disagree.
If I may, and this is a general consideration, not necessarily applying to this specific case, there is often a "mislabeling" of seniority as "experience".

They are not the same thing.

Now explaining that to a HR might be an issue, but while it is clear that two years are different from ten, eight years in a given role/position in a "dynamic" firm - possibly a small one where you have to deal with a multitude of different problems - might be equivalent (or at least it is equivalent in my mind) to fifteen or more years in a big firm/highly structured multinational where the same role/position revolves around doing only what is on the paper.

No, it makes much more sense than that, since there are changes that are not incurring technical debt. It's only "temporary changes" and "workarounds" in other words quick kludges that the say are incurring permanent technical debt.
I agree with what you say. My point is just that "whatever you like the most" is biased by your upbringing, culture and media. Hence my "girls prefer pink" comment - that's not nature, its nurture - because we're brought up to associate pink with femininity.

"There are more than five million cubic miles of ice on Earth, and some scientists say it would take more than 5,000 years to melt it all."

And it's unlikely we'd keep burning fossil fuels all that time.

More context from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_level_rise :

"Sea level rise has been estimated to be on average between +2.6 millimetres (0.10 in) and 2.9 millimetres (0.11 in) per year ± 0.4 millimetres (0.016 in) since 1993[3] and has accelerated in recent years.[4] For the period between 1870 and 2004, global average sea levels are estimated to have risen a total of 195 millimetres (7.7 in), and 1.7 millimetres (0.067 in) ± 0.3 millimetres (0.012 in) per year, with a significant acceleration of sea-level rise of 0.013 millimetres (0.00051 in) ± 0.006 millimetres (0.00024 in) per year."

If sea level rise continues at its current rate of 3mm/year, we'd expect to see 30cm (1 foot) of sea level rise by 2100. If the rate doubles to 6mm/year (as some expect), expected rise will be 60cm (2 feet). That's unpleasant but not an existential risk to humanity.

El Chapo: Drug Lord Joaquin Guzman Extradited from Mexico to US
If you can't see luck as deciding factor in being extremely rich or poor, your world-view will dictate that hard work and discipline can get you out of poverty. Therefore, there is no need to help other people and the only tax you need to pay is the minimum needed to keep the nation state you depend on afloat. If you see luck as a factor, then you either understand that those with good luck need to give a bit more (=pay more tax) so that those with bad luck are better off, or you are a cruel person and just say "well, unlucky you, go to rot, I don't care." So yes, accepting luck as a factor in life plays a fundamental role, including your (possible) willingness to pay tax. At least, if you posses some kind of empathy.

> Furthermore some people are lucky, some unlucky. This does not mean that no effort but mere luck goes into building an empire. If luck was the only factor then sure, this argument or taxation might hold. But there's a lot more than luck to it, which is much more in the control of the individual.

The point here again is that for the extremes the luck factor becomes dominant over anything else: If you are among the very worst off, you probably didn't just accrue that due to being lazy (or, in fact, anything within your control, assuming you are not somehow mentally handicapped - which is bad luck, again...). And similar for the opposite end: There are a significant number of persons with nearly the exact same abilities and ambitions as the very top performers, so the final "selection" of who gets to be the top performer depends far more on luck than on those skills (as the article outlines, by the way).
Thanks, not sure why either. Could be the words "masturbated"/"rape" or somebody doesn't like the overall idea.

Docker for mac mounts your whole FS to the VM which is so fucking scary and dangerous. I posted about this somewhere in the github issues, but they just shrugged and carried on.

Bingo. I am really skeptical that this woman attracts trolls because she works in tech. Based on prior experience of these sorts of claims it's probably because she has extreme feminist opinions that upset a lot of people but can't recognise that. Same with gamergate: women who claim women are all horribly oppressed, that all men are beasts etc tend to attract a lot of really bad shit in return.

From taking a gander over Ms Frazelle's Twitter feed she has retweeted this:

https://twitter.com/ItsSteephh/status/818283957464670210

A poster that gives women a secret code to call the police because they "feel weird" on a Tinder date? This is the kind of ultra-extremist feminism that is guaranteed to trigger giant shitstorms and it has nothing to do with tech, it's simply that 'women in tech' are more likely to hang out in lots of real time chat systems like IRC and Twitter than women in other industries.

The negative side is that Windows configs can't be easily replicated, meaning that you have to put time and effort into it every time you install a new OS to a new computer. Perhaps some kind of snapshot images could work, but when you add OS upgrades to the mix, it becomes a chore.

Use Docker on Ubuntu on my own machine, but forced to use a Docker on Windows at work. Using Docker on Linux is an absolute joy. I totally advocate it. Dockerhub is my first port of call when I'm installing something new on my machine because I know if there's an official repo it will work.

Docker outside of Linux is another story. I've run into config issues, VM memory problems, proxy issues, ect. Painful.

Not appropriate? You may not agree, but how are my opinions "not appropriate"?

I was obviously talking in generalities: if the EU banned or tariffed its citizens from buying service X from the UK, that doesn't mean it has to be service X that is banned or tariffed in reverse. That's never how sanctions are applied.

The 'worst case scenario' is the UK is a country that trades with EU like any other

I can think of many worst case scenarios worse than that. I think what you mean is, you don't personally anticipate it getting worse than that.
>Option isn't a safeguard, it expresses missing values in a way that doesn't violate the Liskov Substitution Principle, otherwise you might as well work with `null` along with some syntactic sugar.

Which is fine sometimes, when you explicitly need to do it a lot.

>That's weak typing by definition, a hole in the type system that can be abused.

Any examples of how A = Just A can be abused in any meaningful way?

>So why have types at all?

Because I don't believe in the Slippery Slope fallacy, and some types are better than no types at all, but exceptions can be OK too.

How to share documents on social media
There is plenty of evidence that people have conscious and unconscious biases. There is ample evidence that the American criminal justice system, for example, is biased at several levels. I see where you're coming from: at any discussion of bias, you would rather blame it on genetics, which means we as a society are not responsible for doing anything about it.

Another red flag. Technology doesn't matter and the fact that you mention this instead of business validation you should think twice before making such a commitment.

EDIT: I forgot to add that the technology part is at most 10-15% of it. The rest is boring marketing, tons of spreadsheets, Google, Google, Google, Email^n, more spreadsheets and business operations if you are lucky.
Being upset does also not license this level of harassment. And frankly, people like you make it unpleasant every time I have to make the argument that the SJ crowd cannot be trusted with power, because frankly your behavior is an argument for giving them power. Like, Jesus Christ - know your audience, learn to read the room. Whether you're right or not, it doesn't even matter; this is not the right place and time to behave like this if you want to be effective.
Also blam! The Euro and EU economy collapse...

Over time, yes... Possibly...
Well this article kills my pet theory, but I'll inflict it on the world anyway because this sort of stuff is fun to think about.

Before I go on, a couple of key points.

Also, spoilers ahead.

1. We don't see the space craft arrive.
2. Their choice of locations on Earth goes unexplained.
3. We don't actually see them leave. They just disappear.

I posit that the "aliens" aren't actually from "outer space". They're higher dimensional beings that exist in our 3D space (or 4D if you count time), but we simply cant perceive them in the same way a two dimensional being would not be able to perceive anything in the third dimension.

The "ships" aren't ships. They're something the "aliens" have created to project themselves into a 3D dimensional space so that we can perceive them. They're basically windows. When Amy Adams' character goes behind the "window", she can do this because her brain has acquired the capacity to perceive the higher dimension, and she no longer needs the window.

Their locations on Earth may mean nothing to us, but they are convenient places for them as they perceive the universe. A 2D being would not be able to fathom the reason 3D being makes marks on a 2d plane unless they could perceive the 2D plane form a 3D perspective.

Anyway, that was my theory. This article blows pretty much destroys it, but I like it anyway.
Here is the thing:

You will lose motivation to work on your project. It will become so boring and tedious that you will want to quit. Businesses are 90% boring. If you can't hold a boring job before validating the idea then you will run into trouble. Don't quit or find another one that sucks less.
Why that attitude?

Someone sets up her machine to her (very odd) liking, what is wrong with that? If you don't want to go that route there is always Ubuntu & co that "just work"...

Maybe, but I like using Python for the GUI too. It was really nice back when it worked.
Yes, many men feel threatened by feminists (which are of course not all women by a long shot).

They have a habit of pushing for policy changes, social changes and the creation of new taboos that artificially tip the world towards themselves, at the expense of men who are typically not sexist or doing very much at all.

In tech, they have successfully created an environment where women have an advantage when getting jobs and especially when not getting fired. They on the other hand are able to get men fired at other companies, merely by claiming to be offended at comments they overhead:

http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2013/03/how-dongle-jokes-...

Feminists, and the women who wrote this blog post appears to be one, routinely attack men in all sorts of ways. It triggers reactions back, many of which are unpleasant and nasty.
Find Your Technical Cofounder
I'll have to inject another comment: a person cannot be condemned for their personality, just for their actions. Actions are specific, and need to be discussed in specific terms. Thus my statement "a percentage of men are assholes" was a too general statement for this discussion.

"Some people are likely to spontaneously sexually abuse members of opposite sex in their vicinity and there are more men than female in this group" would have been more accurate.
When people talk about "luck", they mean a absolutely random event that cannot be influenced in any way. A chaotic event can become less chaotic by controlling or reducing some of the parameters.
