I thought Europeans did not have such retarded views on prison time as Americans (rehabilitation vs punishment/torture).

Seems I was mistaken. Hell, even Germany seems to devolve into favouring punishment over rehab.

Also, what good would 1000 years of "thinking" do to a person with a mental illness? More so, what if that person undergoes a mental breakdown while in "speed up mode"? For me, that is torture. Come on, we're not barbarians.

There is always two sides to a story. That said, if what she claims is accurate, then yes. I'm not so worked up with the hulla-hooping. I'd probably "stare" at male coworkers hulla-hooping too - especially if they were doing if for show. As long as there is no suggestive comment/attempt to stuff bills in their underpants, I'm not sure where the problem is.

I also agree with the posts above saying that a change in structure is needed. After a certain size, companies are like mini-states - they need strong institutions and establish a "rule of law" via standard practices in order not to become dystopias.

That's extraordinarily common in the industry, especially in startups.
I was also expecting amazing optimization tricks, like:

- Designing an MPEG encoder which can take a couple of pictures and render them on the fly, so only saving the pictures,

- Carefully spreading the views over a period of time,

- Associating the soundtrack at view time, since the soundtrack is the same for everyone,

- Using EC2 for the purpose, deleting all vids afterwards,

But no, they just used the brute force method.

It would be a good job interview question: "How would you serve 700m videos?"
I'm not sure why you feel I don't respect someone simply because I don't want to work with them.

Had I thought of them, I would not have used any of the phrasing you suggest because they are insufficiently derogatory.

Consider this guy: The rejection of the other employee [by Julie Ann Horvath] led to...an internal battle at GitHub...hurt from my rejection, started passive-aggressively ripping out my code from projects we had worked on together...

"Act like an adult" doesn't have the same ring as "grow a pair" (although in this case, "stop being a whiny bitch" would be my preferred phrasing).
Well, here is the quick answer

Use the link next to the search icon (it opens a drop down that shows Advanced Search field)

To make sure all relevant emails are caught, we can take advantage of the fact that the Has the words: field accepts search operators.

Leaving the other fields blank, put the following text in the `Has the words:` box:

{(to:tarun+filter@gmail.com) (deliveredto:tarun+filter@gmail.com)}

The inner parenthesis mean that the field is optional (e.g., the mail can be to: this address OR it can be deliveredto: this address).

This did the trick for me... A longer blog post will follow.

I believe in NYC, while the lease may say they require permission to sublet, the law says otherwise. So long as they don't have any reasonable reason to restrict you it's permitted.
Hotels have fire code and regulation to keep people from dying, not having sex.
Pretty sure that the law supersedes the lease. In NYC (possibly NY State), subletting is permitted unless the landlord can raise a reasonable objection within 30 days of being told you are subletting.

That's not what the article says:

> The final straw for Horvath came when she saw men gawking at women who were hula-hooping at the office. [...] Two women, one of whom I work with and adore, and a friend of hers were hula hooping to some music.

Emphasis on at the office. It sounds like they were making some kind of show. While I agree that the rest of the story sounds like a massive clusterfuck, I can't understand what is supposed to be wrong in this episode.
The search/OCR seems patchy. I tried a few (presumably) unique phrases from some and the article wasn't found.

Exactly. Mature adults form relationships with other adults. There is nothing wrong or icky about it. The more time people spend at work, the more likely they are to find partner there. Note that startups often not only expect long hours of work, they also expect you to spend a lot of time socializing with colleagues.

Expecting her to reject potential stable long term relationship just because the guy has the same employer does not sound reasonable to me. Plus, we do not even know whether they started to be together before she joined the company.

I'm interpreting your question to be about suboptimal design decisions that became popular somewhat by accident and were then unchangeable due to backward compatibility concerns.

Have more than 32 bits of IP address space.

Rewrite some old fundamental protocols, like BGP (routing) and SMTP (email), to have better security (authentication / encryption).

Make the browser's low-level language be an efficient bytecode-based compiled language like Java, rather than an inefficient dynamic language like JavaScript (although JavaScript is less inefficient than it used to be, thanks to recent improvements in JS engine technology).

Allow web pages to separate data from formatting without requiring Javascript or server-side technologies.

Use Markdown as the language of the Web instead of the XML-based HTML.

Cross-browser vector graphics support.

Decentralize DNS and SSL (perhaps using Namecoin or the like?)

Make domain names read left-to-right instead of right-to-left.

> The hula hooping moment was important because it visibly demonstrated her male coworkers lack of respect for women as people. They were unabashedly staring at their female coworkers as "eyecandy" in that moment and even defended their doing so.

I have never understood how this argument works, obviously I'm missing something. Because I momentarily focus my attention on someone for their physical attributes, I automatically and necessarily consider them "eyecandy" rather than intelligent people with their own will that are to be respected? Does this work with other attributes - if I appreciate and acknowledge someone for X, does that mean that X is all they ever are to me? If the male employees had put on an impromptu bodybuilding pageant, would that have been the same thing?

Naturally, the fact that the woman in question was actually disturbed by the situation does indicate that there is cause for concern.
> Second-guessing the motives and truth of this woman's story does nothing but undermine her, and undermine the confidence of others who may have similar stories (at GitHub or elsewhere).

What the heck are you talking about? The story is hearsay at this point and armchair warriors are jumping to conclusions behind the anonymity of the internet.

Second-guessing the motives and truth? Do you work at Github? Is this person your co-worker?
This girl on girl/woman on woman semantics you are calling out is unnecessary and distracting--even an uncharitable reader would have a hard time ferreting out sexism in the parent comment.

And by the way: your insinuation that a black man would automatically kill/cause bodily harm someone who says something racist to him is in and of itself racist and is far more perverse than anything else I've read on this thread by a very, very wide margin.
Thank you, I'll add that to my list of things-to-read.

I have the movie on DVD and on the bonus material it was said that Miyazaki wanted to make the movie first. At that time anime that wasn't based on a graphic novel (or novels) was practically impossible to get into wide distribution. Hence, no funding was available.

So they started by writing the story in a form of graphic novel and had it published first. After a moderate success in manga form it was easier to get the deals for making the anime too.

The bonus material went far enough to state that without the film there wouldn't be Studio Ghibli. Personally I love the film. Even among the Ghibli productions it stands out as a great work of art.

And now I want to read the whole story.

The fact that he needs help, doesn't remove the harm done by his actions.

As a manager, I've witnessed a "harmless young man" bullying a young woman. Her manager didn't believe her and said something like you did "come on, you're good looking, he just has a thing for you".

She wasn't on my team so the only thing I could do is talk to my peer and he told me "don't worry, I'm on it".

It ended up with the "harmless young man" going crazy in her office, insulting her, saying she was worthless, that her work was shit, etc. (disciplinary action was taken as a result of this, fortunately).

There's no such thing as "harmless young men" (or women for that instance). There is what is acceptable at work and what is unacceptable and the tolerance policy for unacceptable work behavior must be nothing short of zero.
No, I used it as an indicator of fame.

You shouldn't be using rented property on airbnb, the solution to this is owning the property and then checking up on the occupants and being the super yourself.
You explicitly said "equality means you have to stop insulting people's identities, especially when you are part of the privileged group". If membership in a privileged group plays any role, then you are not advocating for equality of individuals. If it plays no role, I guess bringing it up was a mistake on your part?

...saying both in a workplace is unacceptable.

Let me see if I understand. It's ok to not want to work with someone (beyond whatever is imposed by your supervisor). It's also ok to ask someone out at work (or are you completely opposed to all workplace relationships, e.g. Horvath's?).

But once you decide you don't want to work with someone, it's no longer ok to ask them out? I'm not following the reasoning here.
4k at 27" seems to be the sweet spot for people who aren't blind. In addition, instead of window managers get 2 or 3 smaller high resolution screens. Multi monitor is the easiest producitivity boost for programmers.

At my company everyone gets 2 monitors. We started with 19" in 2006. Moved to 24" after a fire and insurance replacement and then have upgraded to 27" primaries as sales and new machines were ordered.

After 7 years of multi monitor usage with a team of 12 people I can safely say that bigger is not always better. More desktops to work with are a boost. Pixel density is nice, but the OS by default handles multi monitor much better than any window manager and you can do things like one horizontal and one vertical.
I think the question was, why does changing "girl" to "woman" make it sexist by definition?
No, because I read 1000x times more of the one than of the other, and I personally see and experience one and not the other. That you'd even bring up the comparison makes me think you're not taking this seriously, as a reality to deal with and not an internet crusade.

Read the statement again. I'm not laying blame on any party. I am only taking the position that whatever the cause is, I don't know any better than anyone else how to avoid it.

>allowing a female employee's problems at work to be continually ignored.

Who is to say that it was only a female employee's problems? It sounds like the wife is a nut case and she could very well have bothered other employees. There is no evidence here that her requests were being ignored because she is a female.

>The hula hooping moment was important because it visibly demonstrated her male coworkers lack of respect for women as people.

Are you serious? Is it really the case that you have no respect for a person if you watch them performing a sporting activity? If I start juggling and someone watches me, I highly doubt that it's because he/she has a lack of respect for me as a person.

Seriously, read what you just said. It implies that you cannot watch people performing an activity while respecting their autonomy.
My two favorite bits are:

-- You sent an “XXX Freak Fest” into my home
By which joshmn means "I invited an XXX Freak Fest into my home in exchange for money."

-- As such, I’m going to be evicted.
Its subtle enough that you miss it the first time you read it until later when you get to 'my landlord is certainly going to make me move after an “XXX Freak Fest”'. Yup, joshmn has in fact not been evicted.

So, lets summarize. You went on a website, found a stranger, accepted money in exchange for your keys. Then they messed with your furniture. Now you want $87k. Oh, and you have trouble looking at people in the eyes.

I hate to do this, but I think you totally misunderstood the point of the STL.

The fact that algorithms are separated from containers is a major feature of the STL and one of the major reasons why it is so awesome.

By having algorithms separated from containers you implement algorithms only once and only have to give your container the right properties to use (an) algorithm(s).

You reduce coupling and the chances for errors and bugs. When you need to switch to a different containers, you don't have to rewrite your code. You can also try different algorithms easily.

> if (123 in v)

I'm sorry but C++ is about describing precisely what you want to do and how you want it to be done to get the maximum performance out of your machine.

What is "in"? What does it do? How does it allocate memory? How can I get the position of the entry? Which algorithm is used to search for the entry? What must I do to support "in"?

On the other side,

> if (std::find(v.begin(), v.end(), 123) != v.end())

I use a O(n) algorithm to search from the beginning to the end of the container for an entry equal to 123.

While the 'wife' aspect has drawn a lot of attention, it seems that through her marriage she may essentially have a founder's level of equity in the company. I don't know the personalities involved, but she might also have relevant professional experience, and/or have been genuinely helpful in handling thorny issues in the past (even if this case clearly escalated into many kinds of mutual suspicion and recriminations).

So it seems you could replace 'wife' in the retelling with 'early investor and advisor', and be equally accurate, but without the extra (gender-loaded) implication of improper influence being exercised by some meddling consort.

>and that means not cat-calling your co-workers.

There was no cat-calling in this case, so why bring that up? I suppose you could mention also that it's not okay to rape your co-workers too. Kinda disingenuous though, isn't it? Bringing it up in the context of this story implies that it happened.
According the the story we have so far, he should have actually kept his wife in line but failed to do so. You only cringe because you read too much into what he said.
He's saying calling a woman a girl is equally offensive. (Although it's a complete distraction to the discussion.)
It's possible to recognize the attractive features of someone while still being conscious of their humanity. Obviously there are degrees of attention you can give someone based on their looks that goes from socially acceptable to socially unacceptable.

I'm a man so I can't speak for women directly, but what I've gathered from the experiences of others is that women are interacted with on an attraction basis exponentially more than men are, this also constantly ranging from socially acceptable to unacceptable, wanted and unwanted. It manifests in little ways, cat-calling, aggressive or unwanted flirtation, maybe a creepy controlling coworker suddenly confessing his love? My own mom told me about a time when a total stranger grabbed her butt in a store and walked off. It makes sense to me that many women would be extra-sensitive to scenarios like this. Men literally don't have to deal with interactions like this at that level so it's totally different when the gender roles are reversed, and it's rare that they are.

The importance of that scenario was that it was relative to her entire work experience at Github. Even if we assume the intentions of the male workers were totally golden and the hula-hoopers were totally fine with their gawking, to me it makes sense why this scene would be triggering for her.
I agree, "fi" looks terrible with that ligature. Much harder to read.
> As for her romantically inclined co-worker -- I don't see how his behavior qualifies as sexist or hostile. Merely a bit clueless, but isn't it to be expected that employees of a tech company will be somewhat socially awkward?

Oh please, that's about as sexist and as hostile as it gets between programmers.

I agree it should be expected that some employees of a tech company will be somewhat socially awkward --just as much as it should be expected that employees will be told that this kind of behaviour is totally unacceptable, and that companies ensure it doesn't happen.

It's hard to judge without all sides of the story, but the one side does not paint a pretty picture of Github.
> Nebulous semi-employee with unspecified responsibilities related to a founder?

This is the point that stands out for me. That the wife is not an employee of Github but claims to be able to access private company chat records, and also is able to "work" from within the office and interact with the staff.

Even with allowances that company property remains company property and private chat rooms are in fact non-private to the company... there is no scenario in which a non-employee should have access to those chat rooms.

The wife, and the husband (founder), have displayed an incredible lack of professionalism here. There may even be a question about whether those acts are illegal if they are substantiated.

And for companies that use Github to host private repositories, the question should be asked very loud and clear... "Who can access private company data, why, and for what reason?".

If a non-employee can access information that is presumed (even by their own employees) to be private, then our (external companies) assumptions about what is private and secure at Github are weakened and demand very clear statements backed up with clear processes to reassure.

If someone is rendering a public performance, aren't you supposed to look at it? When does hula hooping in a public space transfer to a public performance? Is it public immediately because it's in plain sight? Does it only become public after an audience gathers and the hula hooper continues to hula hoop? What if someone sees the gathered audience and joins in so that they won't be considered rude for not taking interest in the public hula hooping performance?

It's not really as clear cut as "staring makes you an asshole." I've found that in a workplace people will have wildly variable interpretations of the same event. The only solution is to work with mature adults who can assume good faith and work out their own issues. This almost never happens, so instead companies create hyper-sanitized environments where everything is against the rules.
You're taking what I said a little too literally. Take a look at my response to another commenter where I clarify my hula-hoop statement:
