This article is about a call to action to end sexual assault and harassment against women. It's really disappointing that the majority of comments that have followed are about how things really aren't THAT bad (as a man), or that women should expect this from a bunch of lonely guys, or that hey it happens to men too. I know some of these commenters are are well meaning, but this article isn't about you. The comments miss the point and completely undermine the author with their male centered narrative.

So next time you read about a minority group creating something exclusive to their gender, race (like Black Girls Code), or religion, remember this thread of comments. Because I bet you're first instinct will be to say "the solution is not to divide us into separate groups!". But until you start listening, internalizing, and cultivating those minority voices rather than dismissing them or displacing them with your own, those people are going to keep dropping out, showing up small numbers, or start making their own exclusive conferences/coding groups/fill-in-the-blank.
You think expecting a company to behave is naive?

What a depressing statement. Doubtless true but what a revealing and totally awful thing to take for granted. So now we live in a world in which not only are corporations people (thank you Judge Roberts) but they are psychopaths with no social conscience and we all take that pathology for granted.

I think you get the core.logic equivalent of prolog's "no" result.

I know nothing of clojure and core.logic, but a quick test:

*sum=> (run* [q] (fresh [a b] (== a 1) (== b 2) (== a b) (== q [a b])))

()

*sum=> (run* [q] (fresh [a b] (== a 1) (== b 1) (== a b) (== q [a b])))

([1 1])

the first has no solutions, while the latter returns one of them.

Yeah, I read the article, as I specified in my comment.

Not every study or set of experiments is foolproof, and the 'results' of ones that are done specifically on a bias, and never replicated, should not be considered some kind of universal truism.

If you can't provide any stability and predictability for outside devs you shouldn't represent yourself as a platform. It's ridiculous to pretend othewise. A platform HAS TO BE STABLE. It HAS TO OFFER TRUST.
Seems pretty readable to me. Plus, color contrast is more in the area of making things look good, which is not what the UI does.
Probably to prevent match-fixing.

My accounting prof used to be a used car salesman. I was talking about that with him one day, and he said that a car dealership doesn't make money selling cars, but makes it selling financing.

The people who really pay through the nose for financing are people who do not grasp mathematics. He said it wasn't just a matter of them being taken advantage of - even when he explained the lower cost option, they'd insist on the higher cost one, based on faulty notions about math.

If you don't learn math, it's going to cost you plenty your whole life, and you won't even realize it. Math is necessary, even if you don't go on to get a STEM degree.
For most people, I think it's dealing with the spam that makes it feel broken.

Here's one approach I've never seen. Assume that a good quantity of the guys at such a conference enjoy the company of women. They would prefer to have an event with at least some of us around, as opposed to the total sausage fest it would otherwise be. (Obviously, some guys enjoy the 'fest, and that's cool too. But I'm not talking about them.)

Anyway, it seems like a simple cost-benefit analysis. If you stop being annoying, and stop other people from being annoying, whether by shunning the bad ones, or by whatever means you use to thin out the herd, you create a more welcoming environment.

Once you have a more welcoming environment, there may be more of us around. That's more opportunities to hang out with folks who you find pleasing.

So, if you want ANY chance to have a nice friendly chat which MIGHT go somewhere some day, you have to start with having established the basics of human decency, dignity, and respect. Otherwise, you're doomed from the get-go.

I write this speaking from a little experience. I've stopped going to certain events here in the Valley where all I wanted was to nerd out for a little while with other technical folks and it turned into a "how quickly can I hit on you" thing.
Absolutely right. The only difference between alleged platforms is how the platform owners treat their devs. All platform companies face the same issues of balancing developer trust and the ensuing added value and their own strategic imperatives but not all platform companies are alike. Companies can have very different cultures and very different attitudes to third parties with whom they have business relations. The fact that they CAN turn on their own on a whim doesn't mean that they have to or WILL. So stories about the documented behavior of any such companies are very valuable to devs.
What should be the correct way to go about this?
Who would say "lighten up" to somebody whose groin was groped? Just because one blogger suggested it, it still isn't the standard thing to say to women. I downvoted you for quoting this out of context from another article and fostering a harmful meme.
Sorting improvements in PostgreSQL 9.2: the case for micro-optimisation
More than weird, will a 'tweet' have relevance 50 years from now? Even a social network? Seems using things that have a temporal cultural context is a bit iffy.

Granted, I haven't mustered the courage to begin reading TAOCP, but my impression is it's a timelessly relevant masterwork for the man.
Honestly, and this may sound like I am contradicting myself a bit, but I guess what I am talking about is not quite the same thing as Dojo Widgets etc. Its along the same lines, but if you are trying to choose between for example building on top of Dojo Wigets or Sencha and using something like Meteor, I would lean towards Meteor unless the UI you are building looks like a traditional desktop application and has a lot of classic desktopy widgets in it that you can map to the existing Dojo (or whatever) widgets.

If the choice is between Meteor and my system, I would choose my system, of course (although I may be biased and honestly my system has a month or two of work left before its really ready for release). Whereas Dojo Widgets (for example) are only for the front end and designed to look like a desktop application, my components include both front end and back end code, with automatic database wiring, and the widgets are set up so that it is easy to customize their appearance.

I guess that judgement depends upon the degree to which you receive credible assurances that you feel you can rely on. You have been bitten by Don Dodge and are now twice shy. Doubtless DC will be doubly cautious in the future. I am sure he is trying to warn others to do likewise.
> If you're at a conference, you're there amongst your peers and colleagues, there is a certain level of respect and decorum that I would like to assume would be present amongst a community that aspires at least to some modicum of collegiality.

I would agree. The difference is that unlike, say, Black Hat or RSA, DEFCON is not a security conference. DEFCON is (and is advertised as) a hacker conference.

Sure, the speakers are generally in the industry (though not always) and there is no blatant illegal activity happening (most of the time), the target audience for DEFCON is not the infosec community. I think that leads to the problems that happen at cons like DEFCON, HOPE, and CCC vs. Black Hat (mostly), RSA, USENIX, CRYPTO, SANS training, etc.

However:

> just because it's held at a night club, doesn't make a conference party any less a conference related function.

Totally agree with you there; I was not trying to excuse the behavior, simply indicate a possible explanation therein.

The issue is perhaps not only behavior at conferences, but the predatory behavior that is fairly common of males in that environment.
Totally agree - I don't know why this was explicitly stated. I mean, how many founders would do a startup in a serious manner with a vision for failure? Every founder _will_ believe that they startup will succeed.
Interesting article, but one quote from the sociologist was way off the mark:

"The historical decline in self-employment and the concomitant rise and dominance of large oligarchic corporations (including chains and franchises) have created barriers of entry for starting and sustaining small businesses and sharply reduced the entrepreneurial path to mobility."

I don't know what time period he's talking about, but self-employment has grown dramatically in the US between 1969-2006, by about ~244% http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-employment

Hmm. People I know including myself wouldn't do an 'exit interview'. Once you know you're gone, you just leave (actually that instant, usually). Why would you waste time talking to pencil pushers? Never gave anyone I know a bad rep either; I don't know if this is the country I live in, but no-one cares about the past basically; references are never called (I tried to do this in my own companies, but everyone on the other end lies, because there is always some kind of deal in place, no matter how someone leaves; it's a money thing so no-one is going to tell you the truth anyway) and people have 'better' stuff to do than talk about you (cocktails might be free for instance or something something olympics!).
Very understandable.
Top Tips on Android Safety and Security
Yes, the argument that objective subjects are better judges of someone's education sounds plausible at first glance, but on closer inspection, I think the opposite is actually true. Suppose we have 10 completed math tests that have been graded, and all 10 are 100% correct. We should expect that the answers will be identical (or at least mathematically identical.) On the other hand, 10 essays that have all been graded as 100% would all be different.

One effect is that it is much easier to cheat at math than cheat at writing an essay. A good teacher can more easily identify if a student turned in work that they could never have written themselves. This is because each piece of writing is unique to the student. In math, a correct answer is a correct answer, so you can't distinguish cheating, which is why math tests aren't just about writing down the objective answers, but showing your work. Graders look at how you got to an answer, what techniques you used, whether you got to the answer in a straight-forward way or not. These factors are going to be much more varied between any two tests, and probably give you a better sense of who has mastered the material even when the final answers are identical.

To me, what this shows is that knowledge is highly personalized. Even when it is objective, and has clear right and wrong answers, the precise way you actually put knowledge to use is very much unique to each person. The fact is that understanding is a subjective experience -- everyone knows that there is a feeling associated with discovering the truth, figuring out a problem and so on.

The Developer’s Guide To Writing Cross-Browser JavaScript Polyfills
Is Game Theory (artificially) Intelligent?
The thing is, the sites that benefit most from these client-side-centric approaches are single page applications [1]. I'd imagine the benefits of having prewritten reusable widgets are the same for SPAs as they are for desktop software. They provide computer illiterate end users with an interface consistent with other similar applications, and like any form of abstraction, they make development faster and maintenance easier.

[1] I know some JavaScript lovers are convinced that client-side rendering is better than server-side even for non-SPAs, but I'm of the rather strong opinion that they're wrong. For non-SPAs that are sufficiently complex, the sexp model of server-side rendering in Clojure, Common Lisp, and Racket produces applications that are so much more concise than their client-side DOM-manipulating equivalents. For the few sites small enough that the overhead of macro writing/bottom-up development outweighs productivity gain, rendering HTML in Rails or Django is probably better than an all-JS approach.

Maybe he means the rise and dominance of large oligarchic corporations are at the expense of self-employment, even though there's an overall increase in self-employment. Although if that is what he means, it's badly phrased.
The article claims that the US is "near the bottom in terms of actual social mobility", but only supports this with some points about how social mobility in the US isn't that good.

The US is still one of the most meritocratic countries in the world.
The whole thing is filled with dry humor. If you’re not chuckling when you read it, you’re not paying enough attention. :-)

First example from this new section about satisfiability, the epigraphs:

> “He reaps no satisfaction but from low and sensual objects, or from the indulgence of malignant passions.” – David Hume, The Skeptic (1742)

> “I can’t get no ...” — Mick Jagger & Keith Richards, “Satisfaction” (1965)

Or an example from the text, from a few pages later on:

> “Start with any truth assignment. While there are unsatisfied clauses, pick any one, and flip a random literal in it.”

> Some programmers are known to debug their code in a haphazard manner, somewhat like this approach, and we know that such “blind” changes are foolish because they usually introduce new bugs....

For years and years I've wasted time in the classroom with Algebra, a skill I will _never_ need in my lifetime. As a computer science major, I find it perfectly equatable to make my math teacher sit through the same amount of time in some of my major-specific classes, since he will get just as much value out of them. Not to mention I have to pay for it.... difficult or not, most math classes simply are not useful. This differs from other "general" classes, such as English.

He continues with
"An April 2012 report out of UCLA provides further evidence that DNA determines intelligence, to a large extent"

And if you agree that intelligence is a large enabler of merit (I don't), then the connection between genes and meritocracy is blurred enough that you might be able to argue that good genes is correlated with more merit, or at least a larger potential for merit.
I sincerely hope at 44Con that we never see behaviour like that described. We're big adopters of the "Don't be a dick" rule, and "Don't take pictures of people who don't want pictures taken" but that's pretty much as far as it goes.

Discrimination on gender or race is something we'd take very seriously and kick people out for. If we were ever at the point we needed coloured cards I think I'd cry a little on the inside.
Apoorva,
Something that I noticed working in Bangalore is the BigBasket.com model. Order something that will be delivered in a time slot. Say I need egg + broccoli + rice etc. I get to choose the next available delivery time. Chances are that the slot might get filled. But if I choose 9:30 AM, it will be delivered by 1-2 PM. The next slot available is 4:30 delivery. Reduces sourcing end variables for the supplier & increases predictability on the other end.
Whilst interesting I still feel a HUD type visual enhancer would be better.

Too many factors with this system that need to be accomodated from a sudden wind gust, rain that bounces and in dense fog and lets not forget the classic one were the car infront or lorry kicks up spray. Too many dynamic variables and thats just a few from the top of my head. Love to be proven wrong, but a HUD visual enhancer system seems alot easier and safer when accomodating these many many variables.
Just FYI, "though" is an English word, synonymous with "although." It doesn't require an apostrophe, and in fact "although" is incorrect when used at the end of a sentence.
