Not to negate the point, but I witnessed some MALE gender discrimination when applying to a local IBM office for a college co-op.

Ratio of females to males is low in computer programming courses, but 100% of females were interviewed for an IBM position, and 0% of males were interviewed (approx. 6 females and 16 males). This happened twice in back-to-back years.

It seems the whole gender discrimination has taken a swing in the opposite direction for this small office - work hard to find female workers over male workers. But I haven't figured if they are doing this because they care about female workers, or they want to boost their public image? Are they giving females a chance to prove themselves to work for IBM, or are they just filling the most menial jobs with females to balance out their gender ratio?

This doesn't seem like the "give the job to the person best fit for it" mentality, but maybe to them the "first glance" isn't enough to make that decision. Plus, this was just a co-op, almost anyone in the class could perform the position. I decided to view IBM's actions as a form of tactic to develop female presence in IT industry rather than gender discrimination.
Oh yes, I have forgotten that user ==> developer.
Why exactly? Serious question. Is there any reason for this except political correctness?

Why do you need "write access" to my "private email" (I don't even understand what does it mean — can you change e-mail address I use to log in to GitHub!?)
I think at heart, the thing I'm trying to say is that a "just the facts, m'am" approach will work well with some people like myself. I am fully convinced that I am not competent to write crypto algorithms; nor am I enthusiastic about attempting to code them in C. But at the same time, there's something grating about the "ooooh, scary" approach. Maybe it works better with younger developers who aren't as cognizant of the risks and difficulties?
Poor name , sounds like a uglify like lib , not a DOM manipulation lib. You should changed it.

And it's no alternative to jQuery or Mootools since your lib doesnt support a lot of stuffs these libs provide.
No thanks, I'll just exercise my freedom to keep using their service.

What happens is that women usually get to do the reduced time because they have a higher claim to their kids. It is not only the paternity leave, but also for example working part time later on.
Dads don't get the option to do part time instead of their wives a lot. Of course it happens, but it is not the usual thing to expect.
It's not so simple. A worst-case scenario for a flying car might be nose-down terminal velocity into a crowded building. Or even faster, if the driver were deliberately accelerating into the building, trying to use the car as a kinetic weapon.

Scheduled commercial airline flights are quite safe, which makes people think "flying is safe", but general aviation, which lacks many of the strong controls that scheduled airlines have, is much worse[1]. I would expect flying cars under manual control of typical drivers over a crowded city to be much, much worse still.

DropBox doesn't offer full privacy or encryption
In today's day and age, where everyone is looking in to your data, its shocking that popular services like Dropbox dont have strict privacy policy in place (something like zero-knowledge)... is it intentional so that they can use data in the future to sell ADs or is it technology? just curious because there are few who offer 100% encryption but not the popular ones, very strange !!!
Uh. On a Raspberry Pi you should be using the Opus encoder compiled as fixed point. It will be a _ton_ faster than Vorbis, as the floating point on the rpi is very slow and there is no fixed point vorbis encoder. (Unfortunately, if your input requires resampling, there isn't currently an option to compile the opus-tools front end to use the fixed point resampler, so that will add some slowdown— I guess that should go up in priority)

Although ... rpi ugh. I often feel that device was an evil scheme to turn people off of arm. It is _remarkably_ slow for its cost and power consumption. For $100 you can have an arm device which is easily 32x faster for most DSP-ish stuff, and which draws similar power.
I've heard that companies like men with wives and kids, because wives will drive them to work harder. Can't afford to lose your job if you have to support a family either.
So, the only "escape clause" US courts have given against this kind of intrusion is end-to-end encryption, hardware and all?
There are a lot of specialized features in jQuery that Minfied does not have. For example, the only way to register an event with Minified is using on(). jQuery has on() as well, but it also has a number specialized functions like 'click()' and the legacy 'bind()'.

Another example are jQuery's the complex selector/stacked set features, like 'andSelf()' or 'next()'. Minified only has simple lists and a couple of callback-using helper methods like 'collect()' and 'filter()'. If you are doing something complex and know jQuery's API well enough, jQuery is more powerful.
For anyone wondering, Wikipedia has a nice table that show which browser support TLS 1.1/1.2, and which don't.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_Layer_Security#Web_b...

Basically:

- Chrome Stable support TLS 1.1, Chrome Beta/Canary support TLS 1.2

- Firefox Stable support TLS 1.0. You can enable TLS 1.1 by setting "security.tls.version.max" to "2" in about:config. Support is not considered stable, and you might have some problems: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=733647

- Firefox Aurora/Nightly supports TLS 1.0. You can enable TLS 1.1/1.2 by setting "security.tls.version.max" to "3" in about:config. Like Firefox Stable, support is not considered stable and you might have some problems.

- Opera 15 support TLS 1.1.

- Opera 12 support TLS 1.0. You can enable TLS 1.1/1.2 by checking "Enable TLS v1.1" and "Enable TLS v1.2" in opera:config

- IE 10 support TLS 1.0. You can enable TLS 1.1/1.2 by enabling them in Windows, and forcing IE to use them. See http://netsekure.org/2009/10/tls-1-2-in-windiows-7/

You can use sites like https://sni.velox.ch/ and https://cc.dcsec.uni-hannover.de/ to see which version of TLS is your browser using.
For (3), classification can be performed if you have an unlabeled class from both distributions and one labeled class.

Here is an example:

This PR is ridiculously unscientific. This doesn't "prove" their hypothesis. They've found no mechanism of action meaning they found a correlation. Correlation is not causation. Maybe the actual study found something more than the PR says but it doesn't seem like it. Also, they called it the "holy grail". Seriously?

Deobfuscating a malicious JJEncoded JavaScript
Hamilton [2], focused on scenarios specific to particular insect groups. In Mammals and birds a more general principle applies: the number of offspring a male produces is often limited by how many females he can mate with, while a female is limited by how many offspring she can physiologically produce [5], [6].This generates a tendency for males to vary more in first-generation success than females. Thus male offspring are a high-risk-high-reward bet for potential grandparents in the genetic lottery; while females are a safe, hedged bet [5], [6]. However, just like in insects, if a grandparent ‘knows’ that a male offspring is a low-risk-high-reward bet, then they can beat the house, and hit a jackpot (in terms of grandchildren produced) [5], [6]. Furthermore, grandparents can beat the house in other more subtle ways, leading later authors to propose a variety of advantages to SR manipulation that might apply to vertebrate species (e.g. local resource competition or enhancement [3]).

Not providing the same features doesn't mean it isn't an alternative. It has different goals.
WpPage 3.3 – и это все о нем
I have an alternate explanation: It's easier this way. I'm not attempting to downplay Dropbox's (or anyone else's) efforts, but Crypto Is Hard. Really Hard. Once you try to implement zero-knowledge full encryption, it gets Really Freaking Ridiculously Hard, some cool things stop even being possible (Web access? Sorry, no can do.), and it becomes easy to fail while appearing to work (see e.g. http://www.cryptofails.com/2013/07/synergy-integer-overflow-... ).

Also, there isn't (yet) a mass demand for such features, and there are smaller providers offering those.
a bit off topic,
but i really wish if jetbrains creates an ide for perl, similar to their pycharm or phpstorm

i believe compared to other younger languages perl can be overwhelming, and i think a great ide will go a long way reducing the barrier of entry to new comers
I'm not saying this is the reason why, but Dropbox was implicated in the whole Prism scandal as "coming soon".
Reading your post -- in particular the held-high observations of someone who was fired -- one would think that Valve was a relic of a company full of apparently useless seniors who are just waiting out their days until they can retire to go fishing. You know, the same Valve that is one of the most successful software companies operating, and is a company that is pretty much universally understood to have an incredible ability to execute.

It's a weird conflict, really. As others have said, there is a bitter taste of manifestly unwarranted ageism in your post.

You completely missed the point. For what Bose products cost you can buy something with better quality sound or you can buy something with equivalent sound for less. Audio Technica, Beyerdynamic, Sennheiser, Sony, and others make better products for less money.
I went through much of the same process in the past week, as I started at a new job where I was not easily able to use linux. I'm a HHKB pro 2 user also - although I actually have really grown to enjoy the placement of the arrow keys and not having to physically move my hand over to use a separate set of specialized keys. As a user of the colemak keyboard layout, I've grown accustomed to rarely needing to stray far from the home row, and this keyboard helps me take the same economy of motion to the next level. For software, I arrived at KeyRemap4MacBook at the recommendation of the colemak website, and between that and standard mountain lion system preference remaps of where command is mapped to etc... (caps lock -> control on the actual laptop keyboard is MANDATORY) I'm finally starting to enjoy using osx as a tool for interacting with text editors.

But - I was fiercely at war with manual placement of windows and the horrendous methods I knew of for changing windows. I'm an xmonad user, and really just wanted something that would put windows exactly where I wanted them and to swap focus easily enough. I found slate, and although it may take a few minutes to write a conf that you're happy with I was able to replicate the major functionality that I wanted.

Ahh... ok now I can finally get stuff done without constant vacations to the mouse, and I can start to notice some of OSX's visual niceties.
Actually I thought of very fun experiment - because the gender of the baby is determined by the father - make two groups live in extreme condition bio-dome style for a month or two - 900 males and 100 females and in the other 100 males and 900 females in the second. Then at the end of the period just examine the ratio of sperm cells with X and Y chromosome in the males' semen. If there is sizable difference means there are mechanisms for regulation and selection.

Anecdotal evidence is that even after very bloody wars where the males die off disproportionately the population does not stray off a lot in the gender balance after a few years.

Bonus points if you make it with humans as reality TV on Bravo.

Here's a small list of companies that make better audio gear in the same price range: AKG, Audio Technica, Beyerdynamic, Etymotic, Grado, PSB, Sennheiser, Shure, Sony, Ultimate Ears (Logitech now). There are plenty of others I've missed.

Yes, it's ageist, and so is Valve if they really have been cleaning house of older employees in favor of fresh college-age kids.

But, is that bad?

As ChrisNorstrom's sibling reply points out, companies really do want young workers in technology. They're more up to date on languages and tools. They'll produce more work and dedicate more time when unencumbered by family concerns. They don't have an expectation of or a lifestyle that requires a six-figure salary. Experience is less of a concern in game and entertainment development than in other industries; it doesn't matter so much if a young hotshot clutters up the codebase a bit or reinvents some wheel algorithm, when this game will be shipped and a new one begun within a year. Even bugs stemming from inexperience are less of a concern for Valve than anyone else, when they own the distribution platform that can automatically push patches and updates anytime.

It's also not illegal if the "older" victims are under age 40. The Age Discrimination in Employment Act only forbids age discrimination against workers 40 or older. http://www.eeoc.gov/laws/types/age.cfm

Sure, it sucks for the fired workers. Sure, it sounds ruthless and inhumane. And sure, if Valve is blindly firing everybody between age 30 and 40, then they're being dumb, since of course some programmers are still 10x animals at any age. But Valve is not a charity or a government, and is presumably smarter than that. It's a business in mission to make games and money. Every business should be seeking to replace low performers with fresh faces. And in game development, the performance and business value of an employee does bear an inverse correlation with age, so lower performers will skew older.
OS X has a fairly sophisticated keyboard layout handler (better than xkb IMO) that allows you to define arbitrary dead keys in addition to the usual accents. For instance, in my usual layout, I have ‘⌥G’ as a ‘dead Greek’ key, such that for example pressing ‘⌥G’ followed by ‘b’ yields ‘β’. Similarly I have dead-key layers for superscripts, subscripts, math, blackboard bold, Hebrew letters, keyboard symbols, and so on. Layers can also be chained, so, for instance, I have a fraction chain such that ‘⌥F 3 4’ yields ‘¾’. (An X-style Compose key could be done that way, though I haven't.)

Ukelele¹, free software from SIL, provides a reasonably good GUI for defining and manipulating OS X keyboard layouts.

This is inane. So long as people in general are willing to accept it in exchange for goods and services and repayment of debts, it's money. Even if it somehow wasn't "money" per that definition but a money-like item that worked the same as "money" in all contexts but one, how is that an objection? Wikipedia's phrasing of the definition of "money" provides some kind of moral obligation?

And I believe it is. It does not support every single feature that jQuery and MooTools have, but you probably wouldn't say that jQuery is not fully featured because it lacks support for Cookies and color animation.

It's true that Minified doesn't support many features in the same breadth as the other libraries. Instead the focus is on making the essentials easy (often easier) and offering you powerful functions to do the rest. Basically that's how I keep both API size and file size down.
Types are typically better documentation than comments:

I got rid of everything a few years back. The only thing they introduced was the mentions, and i disabled that a few weeks ago (after my friends learned about it). I didn't have the same experience, to be honest. I found Linkedin much more difficult.

Mind you, the constantly shifting privacy settings are weird, its easy to be really granular (go to your Activity Log) but it is effort. You can also change privacy on a post by post basis, but its sticky, so you need to be careful. The ads never really bothered me (except for the dating ones just after i came out of a long term relationship). In fact, I never ad-blocked facebook because I could x out of ads I didn't want to see. The annoying messages from people is not really Facebook's fault, though I feel your pain....
Scaling it by region such that the increased benefits are greater than the increased expense is an obviously horrible idea. I think that scaling it by region at all is a bad idea, but am receptive to the notion that a slight increase might work out better if someone wants to present numbers.

Not sure why you got downvoted for this, other than brand snobbery. That's also been my experience with Shure. As well as Sennheiser HD650 & Fostex T20RP, I own pairs of Shure e5c and e215 in-ear phones. The e5c are getting on a bit, and are perhaps fragile, but I had custom ear molds made for them. Out of the lot, the e215 are the best bang-for-buck I've come across.

The e5c's main problem is they are SO sensitive they are completely unforgiving about the amplifier used - almost anything with a gain block after a volume control is going to have too high an intrinsic noise floor for them to not show it up.
Why is that an issue? Its just a window to web content.
