"I see these women as sexual objects rather than human beings" doesn't sound like sexism to you?
What do you mean by sexist? Sexism isn't hating women although that would classify (that's a misogynist). It's discriminating on the basis of sex. The idea that women would enjoy having a pillow fight in front of men, because they are women, is the rather naive and ignorant view that qualifies this as sexist in my opinion.

I hate dropping "ist" and "isms" around, they tend to sometimes approach ad hominem if used to label a person. But in this case, I am talking about the behaviour.

What problem does rust solve other languages (D, SML, OCaml, C++11, Objective C, vala, go etc.) did not -- apart from helping with the NIH syndrome? Does Mozilla actually use a language that still is a moving target with respect to its language specification for some substantial work (or what is the real-world status of that upcoming rendering engine which seems to be the reason why rust was called into life)?

Prediction: The sexism in IT problem will never end.

Here's my hypothesis:

1. Women and men are different. We see this played out all around us, all the time, both sides happily make and laugh at jokes about it, and no one has a problem acknowledging this fact during discussion of other topics, but when certain subjects are being discussed, these very same people will assure you, with total sincerity, that there is no difference between men and women.

2. IT is a male dominated field, and it is distinctly different from other "professional" fields. There is something about IT that either appeals especially to males, or males are particularly skilled at. I have no idea why. And, a significant portion of these men have very high technical skills, but relatively undeveloped social skills, which shouldn't be surprising. Other professions require social skills in addition to the skills dedicated to the profession. IT does not.

I'm not saying this is righteous, or the ways things should be, but that people continuously seem to be amaaaaaazed that this stuff still happens is getting a bit ridiculous.

It's helpful to have people commenting who know what they're talking about. Question: what are some examples of ways that "often you can get around it"?
Alarmist tripe.
We learn norms from our surroundings. If everyone does it, everyone keeps doing it.

Also, those of us in the brainy set generally equate our rational inner narrative as the total of our self, underestimating how much of our behavior is driven by habit and unconscious reaction. This makes us very good at explaining away our poor behavior when it's exposed to us.

With the right system architecture/standardization, I could probably write an operating system under 10 mb.

That isn't how I took it. I read it as: there was an error scenario that was clearly happening, which should have resulted in a particular log message. Except it wasn't, which meant that something was racing.
Yeah, exactly. Anyone who reckons Facebook stats are bad should look at the TV ad market.
This isn't really sexism

Hell, at Defcon 11 there was a photo-op where you could get your picture taken with two "geek girls" lifting their tops.

Umm. Wow.

Yes, I understand that the party atmosphere makes having females paid to display their bodies seem less sexist.

That doesn't excuse the problem, that IS THE PROBLEM!

In your opinion it "just sounds like" a guy interrupting an adult who is in a conversation so that he can try to hit on her. When it was not wanted.

In what way does this fail to be sexism? Please explain your point of view in sufficient detail that you can be disabused of your misconceptions of what is and is not going to be offensive to random women.

Big hint for you. Unwanted sexual attention creates what is known as a hostile environment. Don't do that.
Not really the problem here. See mistermann's comment.
I believe you are wrong.

Your perspective is over simplified. People are unique individuals, and as a group we fit distributions. Certainly there are trends within genders, but we can find examples of any gender at any point along any metric of measurement you like.

The point is to stop generalizing and start relating to the real person standing in front of you, no matter what organs or identity they're equipped with.

You also have a trivialized view of success in our industry. Social skills matter. Software development is a team process.

The reason we're so AAAAAAAAAMAZED this still happens is that once you've some awareness of this, it's baffling that everyone else keeps sticking to these old meaningless generalizations. On the whole we're a smart lot. We should be acting smarter than this.

I would argue that more software projects fail because of lack of social skills than lack of hard skills. IT absolutely requires social skills.

>I'm not sure what you're giving them a pass for here, why wouldn't an internal email be more clear?

The mail seemed entirely clear to me. I think it was just not written in language suitable to non-technical people. I believe most people involved with OSS would recognize this shift into a community maintainer / BFDL as typical and non-threatening.

A "tech journalist" misinterpreted the letter as meaningless corpo-speak since he didn't understand the context or the real-life relevance of its content, and that's what sparked this whole thing about Thunderbird becoming dead. I don't believe it was meant to get spread in that way even if the execs thought some leakage would occur.
Sublime Text supports multiple cursors, which I find to be a more natural way to do things where you might use those tiny repetitions-- you select all the regions you want to edit first (usually by repeatedly adding the next match to the selection), then any typing or movements you do occur in parallel.

Is there a way for people to tip without being members of Github? I imagine that a lot of the beneficiaries of say, jQuery's goodness, aren't necessarily on Github at all.
In your opinion it "just sounds like" a guy interrupting an adult who is in a conversation so that he can try to hit on her. When it was not wanted.

This is so ridiculous. "Hitting on" someone is an attempt to find out if the attention is wanted. It can obviously be done in very poor taste, to the point of being abhorrent, but it can also be done respectfully. To say that he was wrong to hit on her because it was unwanted attention is completely circular logic.

Serious question: in your version of the ideal world, how does anyone ever begin a romantic relationship?
State of Data This Week - #107
There's one big problem with this simplification: In many (perhaps most) industries, small players can innovate by creating new methods that have real value in that sector However these small players are likely too small to be able to bring a full product to market... e.g. they cannot take advantage of the consumer branding value.

Small entities can only hope to be bought by or licence their IP to larger entities to see the fruits of their innovation brought to actual consumers.

Small entities create innovation across the board and the judge is missing out on them here, imagining most relevant patents as being ascertained by large organizations.
You shouldn't be striving for a low false positive rate, but for a zero false positive rate.

"Think of the children" doesn't rationalize even one wrongly accused person - especially in today's society where an accusation is enough to completely ruin ones life.

I don't see why TDD and Code Reviews are mutually exclusive choices. You can easily use both (or neither) on a project, or mix and match, or use one on one part of a project and the other elsewhere. Knowing what each of them are is the on, knowing which to use when and where and how much is the at.
Here is my theory.

A bunch of the people present think that they can hack systems. And have read articles about pickup artists and have come to the theory that what women really want is a guy who has the balls to be up front about what he wants. So being over the top seems to them to be a way to hack human relationships.

Maybe there are some women who respond well to that. I don't know. I've never had a reason to try to act like that. But even if a hypothetical minority of women will respond well, the vast majority simply won't. And you'll leave a trail of offended people behind you.

So overconfidence combined with stupidly wrong theories about what women will respond to, and a complete lack of respect for feelings hurt lead to over the top jerks. There are not a lot of these. They are probably a very small minority. But even a small portion have a disproportionate impact on the experience that women will have.

Maybe the title is link bait, but I don't think this is "sexism" by definition. Sexism:

"Prejudice, stereotyping, or discrimination, typically against women, on the basis of sex."

A bunch of males were hitting on the author, crassly or awkwardly, but they were not denying the author equal rights. If a female asked a male to show their privates, no one would call it "sexism"; it might be rude, uncalled for, or strange, but not sexism. At a place like DefCon, most of the males are probably not regular bar-hoppers -- they mostly introverted, and probably fail miserably when trying to approach the opposite sex. (Not to knock on anybody, I am introverted/awkward myself.)

Long story short, if you step into a bar full of males who normally have few opportunities to make contact with women in a social context...yes, you are stepping into the lion's den. Males are sexual, but not necessarily "sexist" -- don't confuse the two.
Maybe they live in the real world where a zero false positive rate simply doesn't exist.

And be serious. Getting asked a question from Facebook is hardly going to ruin someone's life is it now ?
It's still a bit pathetic in comparison to the 200 million Google offered them back in 2008…
Here is an interesting data point. When you look across the sciences, there is an interesting correlation. The more mathematical a subject is, the higher the portion of people in it who are men.

With a glaring exception. Pure math is about 40% women. And based on the ones that I've known, many would be competent at, and happy in, other mathematically inclined areas but they gravitate towards math because mathematicians tend to be clueless enough to avoid being offensive.

There are known differences in ability between the genders. But they are small. Until we get past the obvious social barriers to women in IT, we'll have absolutely no way of telling whether women could be interested in it. (Not that long ago women were thought to be unsuited to subjects like medicine as well...and now take a look at the graduating class of a random med school...)

While I generally love the idea and think well of it, your fifth point is actually a bit of concern. I'd rather you took a small percentage and were able to maintain things.

What if you're moving hundreds of thousands of dollars a week, but are still only getting $200 and change for yourself? Will the site close? As an 'opted-in' developer, there goes my revenue stream.

I'm not saying it isn't noble, but while I can appreciate you relying on it for your revenue stream, and would love to get to a point where I could rely on it for mine, there's a confidence factor in the service that doesn't necessarily interact with either of those.

It might not mean anything to anybody else, but I'd have a hard time relying on that until I knew it wasn't going to implode, and that probably means periodically checking your number.

Another small concern I have with it are actually seeing the totals. If you get to $600 on your page, that's $2400(ish) a month. I worry that figure might discourage people -- "Oh, he's already 'rolling in it', I'll tip somebody else that needs it more." I feel like it almost looks like charity at that point.

It'll be interesting to see how things actually shake out though.

C64 manual in German (I only knew Polish then). I typed some of the programs into the computer, and played with changing the values.

I remember to this day that graphic programs using sprites didn't worked for me (must have been some print error in manual, I've tried like 100 times to run that program - it was supposed to draw baloon, but it just did nothing).

Then I got huge red book "Mikrokomputery" by Herwig Feichtinger from my father. It had schematics and opcodes for Z80 and 6502, listings of commands with short explanation for a dozen variants of basic, pascal, forth and c, commands for CP\M and DOS, and some nice algorithms (drawing circle pixel by pixel, questions and answers program in basic using "learning" decision tree, some utilities to format a disk, etc). And it was in Polish (translated from German I think), so this was the first programming book I could understand.
I really don't understand how men, and women, can sometime come to the conclusion that grabbing this gal/dude's ass is a good idea.

Like, how does one come up with the mental process of doing this? Is it something like:

1. Homo erectus identified other gender specimen.

2. Homo erectus will walk to specimen and grab specimen ass.

3. Logicaly, Homo erectus is expecting wild sexual intercourse as a result.

4. Homo erectus carry on with brilliant idea.

Is it something so deep inside one's primale instinct that they simply can't resist? Is it the rapist sleeping inside one's subconscient?
It could also be a little bit illegal, and possibly considered espionage.
"Knife skills" don't make you a good developer. Cook a great steak and worry less about cutting it. Tools are boring. People are far more important. A post like this is akin to "I LOVE BRITNEY SPEARS." Please God, make the programmer pop culture stop.
Why are you targeting for "funders" (I think you mean the people getting paid)?

In general, getting the money into systems is the hard part. If money is there, people will come - easy! Getting people to give money - whether to a company or for donations - that's hard!

Also, frankly, this is a nice proposition from the POV of the "funders". You seem to have built it for yourself. But, the value for the donors? Sounds like a tough sell.

So making donors happy is most important. Without them you're toast. With them you can AT LEAST support yourself, if nothing else :)
I don’t believe there is any high-skilled job where you can get away with no social skills in the majority of situations.

Those high-skilled jobs always require team efforts. Only rarely can a single person do something and make enough money with that. Yes, software development has probably more such opportunities than other fields (I’m thinking of the lone developer of Tiny Wings, for example†) but it’s not the normal case. You shouldn’t go into software development expecting to be able to work on your own.

As such, software development can profit from social skills just as much as any other profession. The normal case is that you will have to work together with other people to make things happen. (And even if you don’t, you still have to work together with customers.)

—

† Who is clearly an extreme outlier. He did the overall design, code, art and music of his game all by himself. There aren’t many people who are skilled in all those disciplines to be able to make such a high quality game. It’s also pretty obvious that he can’t do as much as others can as a lone developers even though he has comparable success (but he doesn’t seem to want to, so all the better for him).
You have to implement a bridge between JavaScript and native environment that will allow you for passing messages between them.

This is already done in Brackets, you could just copy/paste the code from https://github.com/adobe/brackets-app/blob/master/src/win/ce... and https://github.com/adobe/brackets-app/blob/master/src/win/ce... as it's under MIT license.

With the bridge in place you can access files from JavaScript as follows:

brackets.fs.readFile('path/to/file.txt', 'utf-8', function(file) {
console.log(file);
});

There are also corresponding methods for writing files, deleting files and reading whole directories.
Unfortunately, I'm still not sure what you mean by "poisonous". To me it sounds like "community is poisonous because discussions are held wrong, and the discussions are wrong because community is poisonous". Maybe it's just me but I have hard time understanding what exactly is the problem here except for the fact that you obviously dislike something about PHP community. But if somebody asked me what exactly you dislike and what you'd have fixed if you could - I couldn't really give any meaningful answer.

OP said they aren't calling users but passing information on to law enforcement. Getting a call by Facebook for a bad joke is one thing. Getting the door busted in by police and subsequently shamed and fired from your job because of a bad joke you thought you made in private is another.

in case of law enforcement, the only acceptable false positive rate is zero.
A 12pt font should be 4.216867mm high everywhere. A 1em font should probably be readable by someone with average eyesight everywhere and a 12px font may require a magnifying glass to read but should still be legible when you use one.

We have different scales and units for a reason, the stupid part is that computers pretend to use physical units and then actually give you something different. So either remove all references to physical units from your graphics libraries or actually try and get it right. Don't arbitrarily redefine units we've been using for hundreds of years because your API sucks.
People have sexual attraction to the physical bodies of other people. Women objectify men just as often as men objectify women, maybe not as much in the media yet unfortunately (but that is changing fast). Objectifying people you don't know anything about is not a gender specific trait, it's a human trait.
Out of interest, is there any research to back the idea of selling your product at the same time as giving it away for free ultimately results in higher sales? A trade-off between exposure and "lost" sales I guess?
Number Mix - a 2D "Rubik Cube"-ish android game - what do you think?
I teach sections of introductory computer science classes at a certain California university with an excellent CS department, and the profs have gender data on CS classes / major declarations going back decades. Back in the 80s, when CS was still emerging in popularity, CS had the highest proportion of female enrollees of any engineering undergraduate discipline.

The gender gap and sexism that we see in IT, CS, and related fields isn't inherent to the field. It's a relatively recent cultural phenomenon
