Female here and longtime lurker before registering somewhat recently. The only time I feel very cognizant of the gender imbalance is in comments of articles about the lack of women in tech. Some amount of introspection on how to be welcoming to everyone is good, but the constant drumbeat of articles on the "woman question" definitely increases my feelings of "otherness". These pieces and the comments that follow are often addressed toward men as if there are no women present.
He's not asking about gender, he's asking about sex. I don't know why he's getting so much flack for it.

Basically your solution is to depend on Microsoft DLLs to do the actual reading, which makes your project nonportable.

At risk of sounding overly idealistic, why not persuade the document owners to export in something more portable like RTF (which is essentially plain-text and can be read by any program)? Or, better, use some more widely accepted open document format?

Oh yeah, its not an issue when you're talking about the typical WAN side CPE that only sees outbound traffic and isn't loaded with radios. After all, they can see or do whatever they want to your traffic anywhere in the path. It's a slightly different story when it also has the potential to see all your land side traffic and anything in the 2.4ghz band it can hear.
Considering most billionaires either inherit a significant nest-egg or got there from bushiness / networking or the financial sector I suspect they mostly lack the hard science background to know what's worth perusing.

Note: Inherited wealth tends to be further from the top, while 4 of the top 20 inherited it from Walmart the percentage increases when you look in the 1-5 billion range.

You also find people like Alfredo Harp Helú (born 1944) is a Mexican businessman of Lebanese origin, and as of 2011, with a net worth of $1.0 billion, is according to Forbes the 1140th richest person in the world. He is also the cousin of Carlos Slim Helú, who as of 2011 is the richest person in the world as ranked by Forbes.
There is no such thing as gender. It's something liberals made up.

This makes me wonder how many females here are cisgender. Myself, I'm transgender. I reckon there's probably a far higher proportion than average, since some transwomen have opposite-gendered childhoods, and hence were in an environment where being in tech would be acceptable, perhaps.

I'm not saying it's a problem if there are a lot of trans women here, it's just it would be highlighting a problem if there aren't a lot of cis women here in comparison, because that would mean tech was scaring women away and the only ones who were here are the ones who had been unfortunate enough to have had male childhoods.

(I'm worried this will come off as horribly bigoted or something, I don't know, I hope people can see what I'm getting at)

You're correct. This is _not_ a persona provider. It would be more correct to call it "Here's how you can use Persona in an MVC3 application."

---

>So, as a bootstrap mechanism the Persona service fails, because assuming people jump on the browserid bandwagon, we'll still be stuck using Persona because all the websites have implemented the protocol wrong (as in this case).

Please elaborate here. You can just switch out the provider (in my case Mozilla) for another one easy enough. You're not tied down to a particular implementation.
It's also freakishly light, if you're in to that sort of thing. I actually like the heft of the 4 series, and would have preferred they kept the weight and filled the 5 with more battery, but that has less sizzle on the sales floor.

Hey,

I know what it's like to be a young web developer / designer looking for work. I think the best thing you can do during this time is work constantly to improve what you're doing.

In terms of general improvement, I suggest looking more at your typography, line-height, sizes, fonts etc. It'll really make your designs better.

Also, look into the use of negative space (whitespace) to give your designs room to improve.

In the beginning especially, break away from the grids and frameworks. Get the basics down and really learn the nuances of HTML and CSS. Work at it and you'll improve.

I suggest requesting an invite to Forrst, they've got some great people over there to give feedback.

Fuck you. Should have stuck with your instinct and not told the lie liberals love.
Maybe she just wants to be respected as an equal rather than being respected for being a female/trailblazer/different/etc.
How so?

Other than http://blog.xkcd.com/2010/05/03/color-survey-results/ and specific gender/sex studies, I haven't seen studies that make a distinction between gender and sex. Of course, if you want to make the distinction about biological sex, then you have to define which of the biological criteria and categories you're using, and even then you need more than two categories (http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Essays/marriage.html).

Male/Female only? You should at least include queer I guess as a catch all for other sexualities as well.
I try to treat everybody on tech sites as if I don't know their gender, but I certainly assume that they are male.
When the iPhone came out, it was huge. It really was a big deal, and it's only gotten better since then. But the lack of a new huge advancement is playing against Apple. It's not that the competitors have advanced leaps and bounds beyond Apple, it's not that the competitors are necessarily better, but they're different. Even these small differences can be enough to excite a consumer who is growing bored with the minor changes they've seen as they've grown with a platform. It's not that the competition is stronger or something new, it's that the competition is different.

I don't want to be the guy telling Apple what they need to do or not do, the point is that the iPhone is still, at its core, the same as it's been since it was released. Occasionally I get bored with Windows, having used it for two decades and see that it's still the same at the core, and switch to Linux for a few months. It's not that I find Linux better or worse, it's that it's different enough to inspire me out of a slump I might be in.

A change out of a routine can be a very refreshing experience. Apple may realize this, but they may also realize that a lot of their non-technical consumers won't share this viewpoint. For them, routine might be the only comfort they have in the electronic world.

The lesson here to me is simple. If you do not have an email address, you have not 'acquired' a user. If they had email addresses, they could have focused on sending out emails while trying to seek other platforms to develop for.

As for the people offended about AppGratis' business model. Can you explain the difference between it and Groupon? Or any super bowl ad? It is wrong for someone to have money to promote their apps?
So you're a guy who likes dressing up like a girl. Ok, acceptable. Now stop lying and calling yourself a girl. You're not.

Edit: Fuck you downvoters. Yes, I know it's socially unacceptable to question someone's "identity". I don't care. That identity is a lie. He's a woman because he likes women's clothing just like I'm black because I love me some fried chicken.
There do exist people whose biological sex doesn't fall neatly into male or female.

I am a cis female, but I am not sure if you would view me as "in tech". I run some websites. I have a certificate in GIS. I have never managed to get a job in GIS (long, irrelevent story).

I think it isn't "tech" that's the problem. I think it is "the old boys club" atmosphere, which can be changed.

Thanks for chiming in.

Poll: At what age did you lose your virginity?
Thank you, I've added them.
I'm not sure exactly what you had in mind, but there is a CSS proposal to support paging in general on any kind of content.

For example if you had a very tall SVG image, you would constrain the height of the block that it was in, and set the overflow-style to paged-y. The browser would then provide some form of control for you to page vertically through the content in that block.

This stuff is currently documented in the GCPM module, but I suspect it will move somewhere else eventually.

Honest question: What is exactly the Other option? Don't trans-men and trans-women identify their selves as Male or Female anyway?
Some people don't know, or are asexual.
(trying to resist the troll, but..)

Just because you don't feel something, doesn't mean you can dismiss the mindset of others. Many people feel and demonstrate that gender is separate from sex and can be very much non-binary. It surely exists, whether you like it or not.
Disappointing relative to what?! The iPhone 5 was a bigger update than the 4. For ordinary people, it was a combination of top-notch specs (still the fastest phone GPU and will probably remain so until the Snapdragon 800 phones come out), lowest weight (by a healthy margin), competitive battery life with LTE, and highly pocketable form factor.
Gender and sex are two different things. If she identifies with the female gender, well then she has every right to be called a girl.
It is a system that takes people at their most vulnerable and squeezes them for every last dime.

If you don't have good and capable family, friends, advocates looking out for you, and if your own strength -- perhaps, likely even, also cognitive -- is compromised, you're well on your way to being screwed.

Many other societies (although certainly not all, but many other "Western" societies) have come to view healthcare as a primary means of investing in their people and in a communal, mutually beneficial future. The U.S. derived term "human resources" gives a hint at how human beings are viewed by many institutions -- and individuals -- in the U.S. There is also a malaise of short-term thinking; if you're not any good at the moment -- or rather, not approximating some ideal choice or simulating the appearance of same -- you're not worth any investment.
The problem is that most projects make (possibly their only) hosting provider decision from a position of being unprofitable.

Thus when you segment the market by "people who can afford $20-100/month", you are also segmenting the market by the correlating variables "people who are mad at their current host" and "people who can spare several days to migrate their infrastructure".

As a member of that class who migrated to Linode, I can attest that the size of that market is nonzero. But I can also attest that a great many projects start and remain on AWS and lowendbox where the barrier to entry is much lower, and even as a satisfied Linode customer I continue to start and continue to maintain many projects in those environments.
I've been to a conference for undergraduate GSMs in tech, and while I don't have any statistics, it felt like there were almost as many transwomen/genderqueer presenting as female as there were women (and still many more men and transmen). I think it's super awesome that tech is as welcoming to trans people as it is and has been from other people's stories that I've heard. I'm just worried that it isn't as sensitive to bi-cis-women as trans folks and gays or lesbians.
I don't think any site using OpenID has a 95% bounce rate because of it. Persona is the name of the magic, you need a way to tell it from OAuth and other sign-in mechanisms.
it would be just like every other dating site: 3 women, 126 men.
It doesn't just sizzle on the sales floor--it is extremely practical for a "walking around phone" for people who wear trousers.
They should call it the iPhone 13.

It would leapfrog the Galaxy S 4 by 9, and it would be a number that they coud increase every year.

It worked for the Xbox 360. That was a mix of the PS3 and the Nintendo Revolution. Of course, now the next Xbox will need to be something absurd like the Xbox 720 or 9 or Blue or some silly name.

OR...

Apple could just call it... "iPhone" and drop all the numbers business. Worked for the iMac and the iPad and iPod.
Maybe you could try making backups next time?
This is the internet, I can call myself a girl if I want to. If other people don't want to, that's their problem.

Also, you clearly don't know anything about trans people if you think it's as simple as "dressing up like a girl".
How much for just the T-shirt? Nice work guys, keep up the great work!
Yeah, glancing at the specs it looks like you're almost surely correct, that it's just checking a version string thats returned.

I got a little carried away, but really my point wasn't that it's impossible to avoid the risks, just that undoubtedly 99%+ of their customer base could be subjected to this and im sure most don't realize it. I thought my concerns with it were pretty tin foil hat until reading this story about the exact company doing something very, very similar.
It's the same as "Sign in with Google", "Connect with Facebook", "Sign in with Twitter". It's implied.
I don't understand this per-developer licensing model. Not only is it completely non-enforceable but feels really out-dated and out of touch in the era of FOSS.

Hasn't commercial software been licensed effectively per-user since forever? It used to be per-machine but these days with lots of developers using a desktop and a laptop I think it makes sense to say it's for one user at a time instead and avoid creating lots of silly infringements.

If you don't like anything resembling that form of licensing, perhaps you're projecting a preference for everything-should-be-free culture onto commercial development where someone has to pay the bills? Unfortunately, sometimes that just doesn't work.

Having a per-user or per-machine licence where the licence is not transferrable seems crazy to me, though. We consider such licensing conditions toxic, because all it takes is someone to leave or a hard drive to crash and you've lost your investment, so usually seeing that will end our interest immediately.

(For completeness: We will make a grudging exception for software that is essential to our business and can't be had any other legal way or replaced with any better alternative. However, you don't buy software like that with a quick web site download anyway, and if we get screwed on that kind of deal lawyers are involved. Obviously a charting library is nowhere near this level, though.)
So if I feel like something is true, it magically becomes true? Cool. I sure do feel like a millionaire.

And the harsh fact: for you to live, something else must die.

We only focus on factory farm operations and the possible illegality of filming illegal actions. Yes, there are horrible practices in many parts of industry (I would say more horrible than not).

I just got done watching a documentary about plant communication on Nature (PBS). They also seem to be able to identify self, relative, and non-self. They communicate across species about predator information. They initiate active chemical defenses against organisms that attack them. They also respond to negative stimuli (pain). All things considered, they seem to be able to think and feel similarly to the animals.

Now.. I say this why? Most people would have no compunction about killing a plant for food, yet many I know would strongly object in killing a cow or chicken to eat meat.

My point is this: plants and animals seem to feel pain and seek to minimize it. Plants and animals are both living. I would not say that any specific plant is any more or less important than an animal (including us). However, for us to live, something must, inevitably die.

I make a thanks to the beings, plant and animal, I consume before each meal.
It's dead easy to accidentally add (or remove) trailing whitespace, which you find out at git diff time. Unless you want to have whitespace changes in your commit, you have to manually revert those edits back.

Having the editor just trim those automatically is just delegating the trailing whitespace care to a piece of software with a simple rule: no whitespace allowed.

If the entire team working on a project agrees to this rule, everything's peachy, and it's really easy to convert an existing repo to it - whenever you touch a file, if there are whitespace changes, commit them to a separate commit.

At the end of the day, it's just standard, so doing invasive changes to a project that doesn't follow that standard (as in the pull reqs you descibed) is wrong, but that doesn't mean the rule itself is bad.

As for ST2, it allows easy per-project settings so you can easily enable it globally and disable on a specific project if needed (or vice versa).
Thanks for the exhaustive answer.
In a world of so many wonderful free open source graphing libraries, it's hard to see any reasonable licensing option for this. It might help if there was a page that listed features that a developer could not accomplish for $300 in flot, highcharts, or ndv3, or other popular options.

Me too, it's great that tech is accepting of them. The ratios worry me though. I don't think trans women are drawn to tech just because it's trans-friendly, I think women are pushed away from tech but trans womens' unique circumstances mean they stay, or something like that.
