I think, if anything, the incident that triggered her leaving was an indication of how safe other girls at the company felt at the same time when she was bullied by the founders wife till she broke.
Obviously it's only one side of a situation that spiraled out of control. Even if that one side comes from a generally reasonable, trustworthy person trying to give a full and balanced account – it will miss the mental states, internal rationales, and significant details that the "other side" experienced.
It's likely that by hosting anyone through AirBnB the OP was violating the terms of their lease agreement. So technically it's not who they hosted that's the problem, it's that they hosted anyone at all and that's the real reason for eviction. As for the damages to property AirBnB should help recover those losses from the person who rented the apartment.

Did you read your own sentence before posting?

>>This seems like a very common way to dismiss complaints of sexism, whether those complaints are valid or invalid<<

If the person has an invalid complaint, it means she is lying and there is no sexism.

So yes, you do need both sides of the story.
Apparently her exit from Github was to be a secret, but an anonymous person publicly posted about it to a social network with a nasty comment. So somebody inside Github leaked it. To the mattresses!
>What I did have a problem with is the line of men sitting on one bench facing the hoopers and gawking at them

Gawking and looking are not the same thing. There are also times where even the most socially incompetent will realise that some girls doing things that might be nice to look at is not an invitation to check them out doing it (this is, of course, excepting people who go the reductionist route of thinking that feminists invent their own problems).

They're not animals at the zoo, they're people.
I did read the whole article. You're right, I forgot about the guy who apparently professed love for her then removed her code from production. Although that one isn't particularly related to sex or gender either, other than the fact that the creep was an apparently heterosexual male. It doesn't seem to have anything to do with a pattern of sex or gender related discrimination, and any similar interaction would be inappropriate regardless of the parties involved.
Everybody should just back off and let Julie chill out before she damages herself further. This is not a general complaint against company culture, but a one that libels a lot of individuals.
Thanks, I see your perspective.
Upvoting by itself is handing pitchforks. It's an article in techcrunch whom only care about heating things up just to get as much page views as possible, and they'll write many more articles about the subject until HN and other social outlets stop upvoting and sharing.

‘Talks From Incredible Women In Tech, Every Month’ does not sound like 50/50. That said, even a 50/50 ratio is lopsided given the ratios of graduating students in the relevant fields.

That's good advice, I always tend to focus on the skills and see an interview as something that is done ad-lib. I forget how much of it is prep and the actual practicing of interviews.
Fair enough, and I agree to an extent. But when I got that packet of prep material, I froze. I may go down that road again in the near future, but I want to be mindful of thresholds.
Then some geeky types will find them recruiting from far less than 50% of the population.

Good luck with that, guys.
Lots of problems can be stopped from escalating by a quick chat before. The goal is to stop the small problems before they become big ones.

No, you're not going to solve completely toxic situations, but you could slow them down so they could be managed. You want to know about issues before they hit the front page of Techcrunch. Regardless of what happened, it is clear that GitHub didn't manage this situation well.
> and for most cases that IS the right thing to do.

The problem is that for a large minority of people this is absolutely catastrophic. Think of the Western business traveller going to Japan or China...

Unlike your comment, this story is so long and has so many points that could be verified later through eyewitness accounts and otherwise that it's hard to imagine all of it being false (I'm inclined to believe this story).

Wow - some of those are pretty major changes.

https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/12815 - even if that's not a major change grammatically, is a huge change linguistically.

That's one of the things about Rust... It looks like a lot of fun, and I can't wait to actually spend some time learning it - but it's still changing so much.

When it does stabilise, though, it's certainly going to be an interesting language.
Exactly. Ligatures may be neat and pretty for titles and covers, they are certainly not convenient for paragraph text.
The plan is to collect the short gists and ask David to respond to the 5 best of them - he already agreed to do so. Once he responds we will publish the gists on the main page. There will be straight comparison of the code (left side the screen has the original gist and the right side has Davids version of the solution. You will be able to vote your preferred version, and comment underneath (with disqus.com)

Would that work as a basic infrastructure for discussion? Otherwise - how would you see it?
You could just click it you know.
> So I really do not think these shit shows help women break into business. I think they just reinforce the current paradigm where the people in power -- mostly men -- have reason to err on the side of shutting women out in order to protect themselves from potential scandal or accusations or similar.

As a male, I approve. I'd like to talk more about my needs regarding this topic, but it's hard to do in a perfectly politically correct way.

Kaggle - San Francisco, CA
We're hiring our next Software Developer - Web Platform (C#, ASP.NET). REMOTE within US timezones or E3 is a possibility for the right candidate.

Kaggle runs data competitions that solve business problems for companies and provide fun and prize money to the world's community of data scientists. We're offering an opportunity to be involved in what Forbes magazine called the most novel Machine Learning applications that are "eating the world" [1]. As a developer, you'll be responsible for keeping kaggle.com (and the 140,000+ users who play there) running: everything from front-end UI work to server-side code and DB architecture.

See https://www.kaggle.com/careers/ to apply and learn more about our team.

You may want to use regex to find more. Hope it helps.
The information is expressed through demand. People spend money according to their values. If people don't have money, then it's very difficult to determine their actual preferences. That is how I always understood the argument anyways. Likewise producers need to express their values for the materials they need, and those producers have values for the materials they need, etc.
I can confirm - he is in.

> I don't want to be hit on at work.

But she did get hit on at work and started dating a co-worker (I'm assuming the guy she's dating initiated contact). If that was acceptable by her, then this logic about it being "totally inappropriate and unprofessional" is moot.

I do not agree with what the co-worker did in terms of reverting commits and all that, but his initial behavior can be chalked up to all these romantic comedies where the protagonist professes his love for the cute girl and it all ends happily ever after.

All I'm saying is that you can't demonize his initial approach.
Considering the context, I think it is perfectly reasonable to lament the choice of wording and no, I will not be deleting my comment because you don't like it. It has a rather higher score than I anticipated, so I didn't react to that wording in a vacuum, now did I?

For someone who hates tangents you're sure good at them.
and what about poop?
Hilarious that you run the same tactic of accusing me of being "sexist" to discredit me. Nor does your response address anything other than your own deranged imaginings. I didn't say something bad didn't happen to them. What I said was that the she is not powerless. You tried to cast her as powerless - you were quite clear on this, and you were wrong. And somehow in your deranged, imbecilic mind pointing that out that is "mischaracterizing" your point-of-view, whereas rabbiting on about things I never even said and accusing me of being a "sexist" is not. All I can say is: LOL
Doing something merely because of a sense of "personal responsibility" is irrational, especially if it makes more financial sense to do otherwise. Suggestions that the author go back in time to make different decisions are also ridiculous.
He is absolutely right, it is a mirage. But a mirage we collectively believe in, becomes our reality.

Heck, if we still believed tulips are expensive, they'd still be quite expensive.
Hmmm nah I'm going to go with it being both possible and totally okay to look at someone and think "I am physically attracted to that person."
Is manual testing for Android useful for you?
I'm co-founder of TestObject.com and we try to provide tools which are useful for android developers/testers. Last week we launched a manual testing tool with 40 android devices (remotely control). Everything is available within the browser.

I wonder, is the hackernews community interested on such a tool? Anything we can improve?

So you're saying that women are better at HR because HR departments are typically dominated by women? Do you also believe that men are better at programming?
Wine won't run most DX10/DX11 applications. The article mentions that Dolphin's D3D9 backend was deleted, so I wouldn't expect to get anywhere with Wine.
My accept header only contains en-US and en.
I tend to get served German content (and Google's especially bad about this).

Please, I hope someone hears your complains and starts fixing things. That issue is highly annoying..
It can still be faster to use Wine and have it translate D3D->GL if the original application has a bad OpenGL implementation.
I just don't take these people seriously anymore. It seems like a uniquely north american woman phenomenon

This reminds me how many in the Catholic Church had exactly the same attitude of denial about clerical pedophilia -- that it was an American phenomenon -- but they soon learned better (and, by coincidence, this article[1] on the topic is specifically about Germany):

BERLIN - The German Catholic church, which long regarded pedophilia among the clergy as a particularly American phenomenon, is now bracing for a possible crisis of credibility among the country's more than 27 million Catholics.

In recent weeks, half a dozen dioceses have come under intense media scrutiny for past abuse by priests and attempts by the church hierarchy to hush up the scandals. Critics are calling the revelations only the tip of the iceberg, while the church scrambles to control the damage.

Which probably means you also have to let your landlord know so they have that opportunity.

Even then, I kind of suspect "a person I've never even met in person, have no personal access to his id, have not vetted his references, and I don't even know what he looks like for sure" probably gives a landlord plenty of reasonable grounds to object.

She did set it in motion. And she was clearly - in part - set in motion by others. But she has far more power than the person I was responding to is acknowledging. Tiger Woods has millions in the bank too, and he still had to self-flagellate when he wronged his wife. In summary: you are an idiot.
you make liable the parties that did the damage. airbnb could take a bond from the renter (to cover damages, if any), or get something hard to forge such as an ID card of some sort, and recover the damage from them should it occur.
Great answer indeed! Now do you maybe have an idea of "how thick did the dead wood stack up" as @dangrossman asked? Thanks !
Disassembly is actually explicitly legalized for the purposes of reverse-engineering. It's just distributing any software that circumvents copy protections that's illegal, whether it's the result of a disassembly or not.

People avoid disassembly in clean-room implementations out of an abundance of caution. If it's evident that the logic was ripped from disassembled executables, you'll have a harder time defending against patent claims or frivolous copyright claims.

IANAL, but this is my understanding.
hmmm, let's delve into a semantics analysis of human spatial designations

When does hula hooping in a public space transfer to a public performance?

gee I don't know, I was never one for philosophy! You can throw an infinite amount of what-ifs at any scenario. I was only responding to someone's statement that they do not stare for fear of being accused a sexist (I'd imagine people would call a starer a creep more-so a sexist in that scenario).
Piss off. All this bullshit about people taking some personal attribute or behavior and insisting that it's a major part of their "identity" is nothing more than a defense mechanism for losers.

I didn't say she was powerless. I said that GitHub has the power. On balance, they do.
I think it's less fear of the unknown, more the fact that we've recently opened the Pandora's box of surveillance (in the public consciousness at least) and we know that this device will step up the pervasiveness by another large factor. People are uneasy, and to write this off simply as silly ignorance or lack of imagination is, I think, rather patronising.
I'd rather it finish changing, then stabilize, than the other way around. Popularity is not that important.

I find this luddite attitude offensive. I think that display technology should follow the path to eventually making the view look like any other material in nature, that means achieving the size of the pixel = size of the molecule - isn't that the pinnacle of video technology?
So, is there such a thing as a useful O(1)-space algorithm? I can't think of a single one.
Is this true? It seems, from the comments from the SREs in this thread, that these puzzles are highly relevant to this functional role.
Judgement made out of ignorance cannot be made in good faith.
There may be legit reasons, but we have no indication that the reasons were legit. We do have someone involved who says they weren't. We should assume she is being truthful and accurate unless there is a reason to doubt her.

If github says the reverts were legit, then that's different, but you should go with the best information we have, instead of trying to find an excuse not to believe her based on no evidence.
I'm still scared after watching their videos, too psychedelic.

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

Maybe hula-hooping is a common occurrence in Silicon Valley offices, but if my co-workers would be hula-hooping I would be looking as well (regardless whether they are male or female). Probably I would be thinking 'why on earth are you hula-hooping in you workplace instead of working'. I guess there is a fine line between gawking and looking.

Don't get me wrong - the entire situation she describes sound horrible but the hula-hooping did not sound very professional in the first place.
It's shame that HN, a technical community, still doesn't have a good responsive design.. and even design at all.. I'm always bit confused when viewing the site :(

Rubbish. From this point it will be nothing but apologies from GitHub and promises to kowtow to her political agenda. And she has a whole army of little do-gooders such as yourself behind her. Did GitHub force her to join GitHub? Nope, she started that, which is the part at which their fates joined.

You're preaching to the choir, I'm in the suffering minority; that's is my problem exactly. I was just pre-empting the usual replies. Every time the subject comes up, people always respond with "Most people can't configure their browsers correctly" and "these websites do extensive testing and for most visitors they are right".

Ask HN : Expectations from a designer in a tech startup?
Most of early stage startups struggle with product design(UX, Graphic etc). Their priority is mostly on releasing the MVP and get customers.

There are tons of them.

>>The founder has a good point: try to avoid dating someone working with you

Could not disagree more. It's none of the founder's business and the culture in the US that tries to forbid this is sick.
I've found Twitter timelines to be useful in this regard.
Very minor point: the right thing to do is to not infer the language, specially not from the IP, if no explicit information is available. You shoukd make the user choose or take him/her to the default language (there should be an obvious way to change the language from there anyway)

If you have multiple language, hopefully you already have a scheme to differentiate the language (i.e. wikipedia has the language in the URL). If the user went to a specific language URL you should ignore the other settings.

If he/she didn't go directly to a specific language, it's fair to assume he/she is in a non standard situation or is OK with the defaults, and applying heuristics doesn't help.
You don't think classifying the vast majority of this readership as victim-blaming sexists would qualify as slightly inconsiderate?

They were renamed because we were constantly forgetting the difference between Ports and Chans. It was a difficult decision choosing the right replacement however. See the huge discussion here: https://github.com/mozilla/rust/issues/11765 At least it was pretty easy to find/replace them, and http://rust-ci.org/ notifies you of any breakages. But yeah, early adoption isn't for the feint-of-heart.

I think most db software are already quite well optimized.

I mean unless you're a db software dev, and unless you're profiling it for each use case I wonder if you can really find something to optimize.

I just meant that's it's a niche. I honestly got no idea how db software are programmed but I doubt any dev can pretend to do better.

I guess that algorithm would interest people who recompile their db software, or who don't use those db software.

So here comes the question : what are the pro cons of using a db software ? Why would some devs still use plain files to store data ?
A lot of problems can be solved (or prevented) by a talk at the right moment.

It's supposed to be part the of the skill set of those people called "managers". You know, the people we don't need. Until we do.
I tried to look up the original parody. Apparently it describes the meritocracy as people constantly being evaluated by IQ tests. That's not really what the current idea of Meritocracy is - I'd assume it would build on actual achievements, not potential skills. So your reference to the parody is really quite useless.

The criticism that there is no objective measurement might still apply, although I'd say sometimes there is. If cancer is cured, it is cured.

"you're fundamentally more deserving than someone who's well nourished and well educated"

I'd say he is more deserving because he can cure cancer - if I am looking for somebody to give my money so that he cures my cancer.

I agree that everything is luck. But I still want the cancer gone. What solution do you propose?

It seems to me the privileged people should receive even less credit, whereas I propose credit should be given for results. You can't blame the slum person for being born in a slum, but you also can't blame the rich person for being born rich.
