It is concerning, but it's concerning about Adria and people like her, not about SendGrid. It's irresponsible to assume that, because someone has represented a company poorly, that that is a poor company.

People mess up, and in this situation either Adria messed up or whoever hired her did. That's not to say either party is stupid or a "bad person" or any such thing... it's to say that Adria did something that most of us consider clearly wrong/unprofessional, and if there was a clear indication that she'd do such a thing, the hiring manager should not have brought her on. I'm inclined to think there was no such indication and this is just her personally doing something irresponsible, but then we don't know.

Immediately making that a reflection on her employer is invalid and makes things worse than they already are.

Being the great speaker he is and understanding of the 'tech' community [you can tell from that from the site] would he have said this out loud at PyCon if he was sitting next to Richards' after she had told him she felt uncomfortable?
Absolutely.

Increasingly, wars are won by geeks who think independently and subvert conventional authority. That was almost as true in WWII as it is today, arguably all the way back to ancient Greece.

If you find yourself in a situation where (as run4yourlives put it) you're the guy who has to man a machine gun to cover your company's retreat, you are indeed a victim: not of the enemy's actions, but of your own leadership's incompetence -- or worse, treason. You have made a monstrous mistake, one that you will have had many opportunities to avoid.

It's interesting to read this article back-to-back with this one: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-21768668

War is a racket. Avoid wars, if possible. If you can't avoid them, don't be cannon fodder, and resist anyone's attempt to treat you that way. This policy scales remarkably well.

The adult thing to do would be to just ignore it, and not act like people are entitled to live in some comfortable bubble where they get to whine if anyone in their vicinity acts in a way they don't like or approve of.
She is not sorry for what she said, and that's fine. That's her prerogative. I take issue with people blaming her for the company firing the guy. She didn't accuse them of a felony or other crime. She pointed to what she thought was inappropriate and the employer overreacted.

I'm frankly saddened that the discussion about the employment circles her and not the employer. Few are asking why, if the joke were so trivial (I also happen to think the joke was rather silly and personally didn't take offense), the employer decided to fire him.
zevyoura was asserting that the behavior seen on twitter is not representative of our community, and that those sentiments are isolated to a set of bad actors.

My assertion is that there is a substantial number of people who share that same ill will here on hacker news. Most of the threads that have been posted to HN have been dog piles of hating on Adria Richards. So the question is are those people new and in fact not representative of HN? Or are they people who have been around for a while, and have made substantive contributions to the community (using karma as a proxy measure)?

> First I tried testing models and controllers, skipping views. Now I use integration tests with Capybara because it effectively tests the whole stack without writing redundant test code.

Does this mean you primarily rely on integration tests at the exclusion of model unit tests?

If that's the case, I'm of the opinion you would be well served by revisiting your unit tests. Controller tests are kinda taken care of by integration tests, but you won't get solid coverage of your models with integration tests alone.

At a minimum, model unit + integration (skipping controllers), IMHO. If for no other reason than running an integration test suite can be time consuming, and you don't always need your feedback loop to be that long.

I wasn't suggesting that most people think they're making a quantitative impact by flicking a switch, give me some credit for goodness sake. Did you not notice how I defined the subject of my comment symbolic gesture? I'll make my point again, since you missed it the first time. I was suggesting that by flicking the switch, and participating in the grand symbolic gesture of Earth Hour, people feel like they've achieved something, and go right back to their incredibly wasteful 1st world life style feeling like they've scratched their eco-itch for another few days/weeks/months/whatever. As a tactic I think its shallow and weak. Lifestyle changes need to be baked into the fabric of society and dictated to us if we're to see any meaningful change, frankly.
I see a lot of negative comments, many of them are from people far smarter than me and may be right, don't let them get to you. Their opinions are exactly that, opinions. You worked hard on something and it didn't work out the way you wanted it to, you have a right to be disgruntled. Congrats on the new Google gig!
There is a statement on the SendGrid blog confirming:

US and Canada only... just saying because it's mentioned nowhere in the article.
Well thank you. I wish that Adria had reacted that way.
Because Adria is the only person who has the power to shame someone publicly? She's the only one with 9,000 twitter followers, she's the only one with a camera phone, and she's the only one who can upload photos to twitter?

I find the concern of being in the same room as her incredibly stupid.
Arbitrageurs, not speculators.
Wouldn't any significant difference between the two create an arbitrage opportunity that would immediately correct them back to where they were? Any imbalanced triangle in exchange rates can't last long.
In the linked article Apple also states that the entire company runs on 75% renewable energy. This is the figure I am criticizing.
HipChat I hope your taking notes!
We'll never agree because I'm arguing about what racism is (a semantic argument) and you're arguing about how racism is defined (a pedantic argument). Perhaps my original post was a red herring. I was merely justifying that what she said lines up with a known definition, not that it is the ONLY correct definition.

Also, your definition of what racism connotes is severely lacking as well. Simplifying racism to "something that connotes immorality" is a gross oversimplification.

I very deliberately didn't comment on this story when it broke yesterday and had to actively fight my instinct to point out just how obviously wrongheaded some people were.

Now, if nothing else, I can look back and be proud that I wasn't baited into saying anything hostile or embarrassing.

Out of curiosity, which 10.1 do you use? I've been on CM 10 stable since it came out, but I'm not sure what's stable recently.
Maybe you should say "promote Bitcoin and tools for its use, like electronic wallets". When you say "launch a bitcoin currency" it seems you are talking about a Bitcoin competitor, like Devcoin, Freicoin, Namecoin, etc.
+1 for asana. But don't try to start searching for "best task management tool" or something like that. you will waste your time. Choose any tool, start using, if it fits your needs then stick with it.

I suspect the person who got fired wouldn't have self-identified as someone who finds it difficult to avoid saying sexually inappropriate things, either.
I don't think this is true. If we could somehow compile a list of all the people 4chan has attacked over the years I'd bet we'd see equal opportunity trolling.

What was that incident a while back, where the "security expert" offered a reward for breaking into his site? 4chan took up the offer, succeeded, and trolled the guy relentlessly. Death threats, photoshops, you name it. And he was a _male_ in a male-dominated field.

The fact is the Internet just isn't a nice place a lot of the time.
Whereas this story is about who we (the tech community) are, how we treat each other, and what our daughters can expect if they join the tech industry.

It would be a unique opportunity to really engage with people, and understand their currency needs as users.

A digital currency isn't going to meet their needs. Have you ever been to Cyprus? Except for transactions between multinational branches/subsidiaries located on the island, most of the economy runs on cold, hard cash. A lot of stores and restaurants don't have the capital to invest in the technology they'd need to use bitcoin for POS.

What a staggeringly ironic sentiment, given the context.
Your site and product look great. But just a heads up, under the students section you put an extra l in eligible. The padding in your search bar is also off (at least in Safari) so Search is flush against the top instead of being centered.
>How many 2nd wave feminists do you know? The only ones i know of live in all female enclaves in rural areas.

I live next to a women's college and my ex-gf comes from a family of 2nd wave feminists.

>But I do think that equal attention isn't necessarily paid to issues of discrimination against white women vs women (or anybody) of color.

That's an understatement. Look at the aftermath of raising rape awareness in America. Majority of the resources have gone to college campuses and middle class white areas. Even though these are the groups of women least likely to be the victims of abuse. Feminists have monopolized these resources to women of their own class and ethnicity.
Computers don't understand english very well. It's easier for us to learn to talk to them, than to teach them how to understand us.

DSLs are helpful for some, but sometimes they get in my way. A good example is formtastic (http://github.com/justinfrench/formtastic) in ActiveAdmin. I already understood forms when I had to implement this, so it just dragged me down.

If using a DSL makes your life easier, by all means use it.

Not a lot of detail there, but it's better than nothing.
So that means if internet is created for terrorists to solve a problem be more efficient in communication among themselves, the creator of internet would have to be thrown in jail, even if there is also a good use in internet? Or the clothes that you are wearing, it could be created for smothering people, aren't the creators suppose to be executed as well? How about the camera? It was probably designed to create child porn!!! The creators should be fined and be thrown to jail as well!!! What makes the value of a tech, or neutral product, an act or passenger of evil or violation of laws depending on the context it is created in? Who is to decide that? You? Prosecutor? The government? I empathize this guy, as he is not confident enough, and is too kind.
Data centers are one of the fastest growing power consumers, something like 1.5-2% of all power today (eg http://www.analyticspress.com/datacenters.html). We should all be excited that Facebook, Google, Apple et al are seriously working on reducing that impact.

Clearly there's a lot more to be done (manufacturing, transportation, etc), but I don't think that undermines the progress being made in datacenters.
I mostly agree, except for the ability to install multiple versions of the same gem or package at the same time.
OK. I didn't think to consider the special case of items under $50 earlier.
Yes, and the situation on the conference was reported to the conference staff, the people involved were talked to, and the situation was resolved. Or so, it seems. Then Aria continued her public shaming, and the whole thing escalated.
The guy made a fairly tame dick joke to his mate at a programming conference, it doesn't logically follow that he would walk into a woman's shelter and start making misogynistic remarks.
How “dongle” jokes got two people fired—and led to DDoS attacks

Haven't been to Cyprus, but all they need to use Bitcoin is a smartphone which costs a few hundred dollars. I presume 3G coverage is decent? If small businesses aren't taking credit cards anymore then the loss of revenue would pay for an Android device in a few days.
You can actually "launch a Bitcoin currency" too, if you're not convinced check out LiteCoin, PPcoin, SolidCoin, Bitcoin Testnet coins, Rucoin, or any of the clones that are based on original Bitcoin source.

http://github.com/yebyen/testnet-debian

At one point I was able to find a blog or github from GavinAndresen that detailed a few more ways to make your bitcoin blockchain incompatible with the standard chain, but I think this kind of activity is frowned upon due to the risk of 51% attacks. Unless your coin is approaching the popularity of Bitcoin (or somehow you got there much earlier... time machine?), it is vulnerable to being taken over by a small fraction of large Bitcoin miners' community coming over and playing with their clocks and hashing your chain into oblivion.

This is not necessarily all bad, or worse than creating Bitcoin in the first place. You can lose money in banks when your government fails, too.
I think this is because most developers haven't (yet) been paged at 3 AM to discover that everything is fucked because a handful of critical servers somehow still have bugs in libraries that were already fixed. I'm a developer and I think language-specific package ghettos are a pretty crazy way to handle deployment to production. Any dependency I can't express in the same way as all the others (namely my platform's one and only package manager) is a ticking bomb.

"I make a lot of jokes. About women, blacks, jews, ... also, about men, whites, programmers. I don't discriminate; I make fun of everything and everyone!"

The existence of dirty joke books that include every possible person and group doesn't make it a good idea to bring any one of them up at a professional event.
Great to see this as finally an option, interesting that there is a 3 day wait to activate it though...just to be certain it is my identity that wants to add it.
>"proceeded to make a flippant, condescending remark about his wife"

I respectfully submit it's time to lighten up. This PC bullshit is both boringly predictable & enraging. Everyone both inside tech & out understands that wives routinely nag about their husbands & vice versa. Just because someone uses language you would not doesn't mean they deserve to be judged & boxed-up as "that guy".
People are in motion, everyone's words & actions stemming from a unique set of ideas & experiences. What Adria did was absurd and in my view an abuse, her former employer obviously felt the same.
I ruthlessly moderate a reddit - to the limit of my free time. People that need moderating exceed my ability to read and delete comments. Our ban list is huge. The eternal September is, truly, eternal.
Does (m)IRC have the ability to log everything? It's been a decade since I've used mIRC but I could have sworn I was able to save everything even back then.
Some people posting on here seem to think that what Adria had done represents an evolution of social pressure for change. But in the end they will both have been fired by their employers because they were associated with bad publicity and not because of what they may have done. I think that is the lesson of this event for why, regardless of the reasons or the legitimacy of her being offended (I think a separate but legitimate discussion btw,) the way she responded was a mistake.
Show HN: Jotleaf is a free-form, collaborative canvas for web content
The difference here is that the jokes/comments were not made to her. She overheard them in the context of a semi-private conversation between two people, and took umbrage at them.

If they had come up and started making penis jokes to her, then it'd be a very different situation.
Thank you for the question "What do I Test"

As a developer, that is my number one question. Not cucumber/rspec/testunit, but really what do I test so the tests can be fast, I can test my core functionality and I don't overlap rails.
RSS format sucks because XML sucks.

I agree that it would be awesome if it was opensource so you could mitigate any risks by having it run on your own hardware, but really it's a valuable service and they deserve to make some money, which will play into keeping the service alive.

In my opinion, it was a misjudgment, but think about what using Twitter is like.

Something ticked her off. She snapped a picture of it, as she had done dozens of times per day probably. She probably had no idea of the consequences. Even if you have 10,000 followers, most tweets are like that - you like something, snap a pic and share, you hate something, snap a pic and share.

I don't get the sense that she expected there to be such serious consequences. For her, tweeting might have been a reflex action. It wasn't a good decision, but let's be clear about how easy it is to lapse like that.
My experience exactly. It needs to function order of magnitude faster, and guesswork it does is still pretty dodgy.
Only one 'wow' was when it offered me currency exchange values when I was abroad. And then, Chrome stepped up with ads and search in a different language and ruined the moment.

That being said, it does show promise, but it's certainly not there yet.
Regardless of her position, what happened in this case, etc. It's just miserable to be around someone with this kind of over-reactionary over-sensitive attitude. I know people like that and it's just not nice to be around. Despite having the most equal relationship possible, my girlfriend goes to get herself a drink and I say "Hey, can you grab me one too while you're in there?" and our 'friend' freaks out like it's sexist. Noooo thank you. I won't be hanging out with you anymore.

Hmmm...'colorblindness' by a privileged group is a refusal to acknowledge the real inadequacies between social groups.

Basically, "I treat everyone the same--I don't see color" (or gender, or sexual orientation, etc.) is a luxury that only exists for some. For people discriminated against, they /have/ to see color, gender, etc., because it's a limiting condition of their social situation.

I am not a UI designer, but I don't buy into the idea that this blanket notion of "modal interface bad" and "oh, it's got a manual? it's broken" applies universally across all interfaces for every use case. Or are you being facetious?

When we're talking about a text editor for programmers, I don't need it to be usable by somebody who doesn't grasp the domain to begin with. I'll gladly give up some UI sugar because in this context a modal interface is exactly what makes me so productive with it and partitions the complexity into composable chunks that are easily reasoned about.

I'm sorry but you live in the UK (aka the CCTV country) you say and think your privacy is protected more than in the States? Think again.
One thing I'm really trying to fathom here is that people really think the dongle joke, in this context, was sexist and not just mildly so.

Let's say a presenter put up a slide where Florida was pink and and somebody said to their buddy, "Ok, now it really looks like a penis."

Are large numbers of us really taking the side that this joke would be incredibly offensive, abusive and oppressive to women and should result in the pair being ejected from the conference.

Because that seems to be the stance many are taking. And I'm bewildered. To be clear, it's juvenile. I'd personally say "Are you guys 12? Cut it out."

Can we reserve our moral outrage for the people saying "That's so gay." or "She wants the 'D'" or "At least it's not black" in the same situation? You know, things that are actually offensive and problematic.
Depends. I closed my account last fall because I got tired of the personal abuse that pervades political threads. I'm pretty argumentative, true, but I found that forum to be increasingly aggressive and negative in tone.
not to argue mongodb being good or not, but how many of these issues would be caught if the sites built and used proper dev and test environments? seems like as the cloud has caught on I have read about horrible things happening with all kinds of software that may not have happened with proper procedures. not to say this is that bad or not normal. I think it's a growing curve we are going to see as more people get involved with running and maintaining major systems.
