I'm confused -- are you saying doing your own email hosting is the way to avoid getting stung by Gmail spam filters? Seems like an "out of the pot and into the fire" kind of situation.
"registered sex offender" is pretty meaningless without context - in some states getting caught peeing in a bush after a night of drinking in college can result in that label.

CreoLabs, your work is amazing "and" coffeemug is right on target. Heed this wisdom.
Yes. Edited.

It depends on the context of course. If it was your project alone, then you did it. If others contributed non-trivial amounts, it was a team effort. I noted that the males tended to bury that, while the females tended to highlight it.
It sounds more like a side effect than a bug. Both domains have conflicting policies. He wants any Gmail user to be able to impersonate a sender from his domain, but not in a way Gmail supports.
As a white nerdy male, there is an analog that I feel similar to your running scenario. I grew up in the suburbs, more of a sheltered upbringing due to the makeup of the neighborhood. For many years, when I'd be walking downtown, if I saw a group of people that looked like they were from a typical rap video (not specifically any race, but more the group's clothing and body language, although race does play a part of it), I'd turn down another corner. This is mostly due to what got fed to me by TV and other sources, and the knowledge that a nerdy white guy is probably the most hated vulnerable person in that area at that time. Now I know that this is totally irrational, and it wasn't until I forced myself to not turn a different corner each time, that I started to get over it.

Now on another level, I'm a very bashful person, so I have a hard time looking at people in the eyes when I talk to them. Therefore my eyes are pointed at a 30 - 60 degree angle downward towards the floor. And guess what is in that line of site if I happen to be talking to a woman at work? So I learned to just stare straight ahead, or start messing with my phone, whenever a female coworker passes me in the hall. Just to avoid giving the impression that I'm looking her up and down, due to my natural instinct to avoid eye contact by shifting my gaze downward towards the floor after seeing someone make eye contact with me (which, as mentioned, can be taken the wrong way, and land me in HR).
Why are you doing this? If you subscribed to something, do the responsible thing and unsubscribe from it. Don't fuck up spam filtering just to be lazy.

There was no "disk" on a ZX81. Storage was audio cassette tape.

The size of the executable mattered because it all had to fit in 1024 bytes RAM (no "K", no "M", certainly no "G") with all video & operating system memory.
Kernighan is one of the core authors of the language. So I'd say it's for more than just his technical writing skills.

I applied for a job at Fog Creek Software in 2012 where I was accepted for an internship, and I would have to say the application process was difficult, but fair. I was told that there were hundreds of applicants, so being one of five interns selected seemed rather prestigious at the time, but it was still just an opportunity to work on my skills as a developer.

I don't think there is anything that would preclude women from getting technical jobs at a company like Fog Creek except maybe, as was said in the article, a self-selecting attitude. These companies are looking for well-rounded individuals and people who are competent with their skills. It's nothing beyond impossibility to get a job there, it just takes determination.
My dad had his own business selling copy protection he invented for 5.25" floppy disks back in the early 80's. It didn't use codes from the manual though it used some trick with the floppy where a special sector could be read but wasn't written under normal conditions when the floppy was copied.

Whoa, whoa. Who else is as powerful as Dumbledore, except arguably Voldemort (and possibly Harry when he's older)? It is not clear at all that Voldemort's more powerful than Dumbledore either -- their fight at the end of the Order of the Phoenix was very even. Dumbledore is the only wizard Voldemort was ever afraid of, and for good reason.

Let us consider Lisp. Lisp is powerful, elegant, relevant, and respected. Despite getting on in years, few can match Lisp's power. Lisp is kind and benevolent: to other languages Lisp has given conditionals, functions, and garbage collection. I say, Lisp is Dumbledore.

Don't do this. Seriously, don't. It's one thing if you never asked to get additional emails or you can't opt out, but if you signed up for it, at least put in the same amount of effort to get out of it first. If that fails, sure, then start marking as spam. Otherwise, you're feeding false positives into the system, thereby degrading it on purpose.

Look, I get that. I don't credit roosters for sunrises either. Let's not go down that road.

It's just not a selling point for me, and not appealing when used as such ("Come work here, we have great snacks.") Usually accompanied by claims of "unlimited vacation" and "a fully decked out Macbook Pro." I understand that these things can also exist in an environment where people are treated like adults (e.g. given responsibility, trusted to do their work, given privacy and space).

I would, of course, rather know more about the actual work environment. This information is just hard to obtain unless you personally know someone at the company - someone who is willing to talk candidly about it. Occasionally, a company makes puts such values front and center (e.g. 37 Signals). I was hoping to get more examples.
I get why it's hard to trust mail from some random IP from Amazon Web Services, but I'm very wary of taking big chunks of the internet and just saying, "well, people aren't allowed to do that anymore, just the huge corporations." One of the best parts of the web is that it's decentralized.
Obstructing Border Guards by Not Giving Smartphone Password
There's a difference between "lower self-confidence" and "can't handle pressure, stress, and competition". It's also possible that even women who have high self confidence in their abilities are less confident that they will be judged positively by others.

There's plenty of research to the effect that men will apply to a job if they meet 40% of the listed requirements, whereas women won't until they meet 90%. And when you don't meet someone's default expectations of what kind of person a "software developer" (or a "nurse" or a "CEO") is, you often have to work harder to prove that you are one.

But also, why does the working world have to be competitive rather than collaborative?

Mix your watch
One thing that confuses me is that series of events:
1)There was a speaker on the stage talking about women in the industry.
2)He happened to bring up an image of a girl in a tech shop.
3)Hank and his friend had several exchanges with the sexual jokes.

The timeframe doesn't seem right. For one, they were talking and giggling while someone was presenting? Is this a common thing? Another is that they were speaking louder than a whisper. Really? Making sexual jokes while someone is presenting in a louder than whisper volume? I don't know. It doesn't add up. Maybe they were really being that immature or your first quote is dramatized.
There's an old adage: Cash is King

Whether they were referring to the debits and credits found in bank accounts or the actual fiat paper I'm not sure, but holding cash in actual paper (granted you have a stable government) is in some way a deprivation of total control and regulation of your life.

The corptocracy is very much similar to government in that they will willingly hand over data to save their own asses (I don't need proof on this one, cause it's common knowledge now) and also willingly exploit you through said data to increase profits.

In some countries people will simply flat out refuse to use even credit cards, simply cause they distrust their governments, which I think is a rational move.

Cash also makes life easier for your mom and pop store who can't jump the same tax loopholes as GooAppFace with their Irish-double-Dutch-cayman-filter accounting-foo and end up paying a big portion of corporate tax through the central (regulated and monitored) banking cartel.

At the end of the day, those who use it, trust it and it adds some utility to their lives.

For those who don't, their is only utility to be lost, which is why they stay away (and which is probably why I think it equates to most of the world who stays away).

> b) false negatives are more frequent and thus more annoying.

I think this is the case for the user. For the sender it's a major issue and a huge annoyance, but you don't measure user satisfaction by asking senders.
I think this method doesn't work in all situations. For example in embedded programming. First there are not many of those who actually work in this field so unlikely to just meet up with them. Most are stabily employed. Secondly, there is lots of proprietary hardware and knowledge. Third, hard to work on a trial job when you are already working. Lastly there are a good number of people who are just not skilled enough and will waste your time during the trial period.

"Memory" means RAM, here.

As for why the size of the executable matters, you needed to have the entire executable in RAM before you could actually execute it. That's not so true these days, but it was back in the good ol' days* when you hooked tape cassettes up as your external storage.

Regardless of how I feel about Go as a language... I don't trust Google to perform well as the steward. It may be open source, but that means nothing if people stop working on it.

If it doesn't become popular, I think they will just let it die. If they start trying to make it popular, I think there will be a big push back from the great unwashed masses of people who want obvious features and then it will die. Only time will tell.

Ditto – it's similar to the push notification / run in the background prompts on first run, where I have nothing invested in the app and don't even know if I’ll use it.

I like this because it allows the developer to solve things like unique sync accounts and only ask me for more info after I've liked the app enough to want to do something like share it.

It's not imperative that everyone refer to the same branch all the time for currency either. If User A gives Bitcoin to User B, and User C gives Bitcoin to User D, there's no need for them to be on the same branch as the two transactions are unrelated.

It's when you need to merge branches back together that things tend to get messy - with currency or an encyclopedia, and everyone being on the same branch all the time is better, for both cases.

I can just imagine what the 'popular' branch for an encyclopedia would look like if 4chan set their sites on causing problems for it.

Metal Gear Solid for the PS1 had something similar - it referenced a radio frequency on the back of the CD case, so if you copied the game but didn't copy the liner, you'd end up getting stuck.

Wow! That's pretty big news!

Very much looking forward to seeing what insights come out of rebuilding something like angular with types.

True, but even "Chess lite" in 672 bytes is mind-blowing.
It's also a really naive calculation in that it assumes you will be able to fill nearly every working day out of the year with a full day's worth of paying work. When are you going to pursue leads, develop your sales funnel, learn new tech, and file your taxes?

I didn't downvote you, but you asked a question the answer to which is easily available with the most trivial of web searches. You assumed he meant "disk space", assuming the author made a mistake when you could easily have checked and not asked the question here.

Are you aware that you have not only failed to educate people, but you have only taught them that voicing an opinion that you don't agree with will bring disproportionately furious rebuke?

A serious question: do you think you will change how people behave by acting in this way?
Why not Dart?
As if we didn't have enough reason to move on from Angular. Now you need to learn Typescript to contribute or grok the source files?
I see these warnings a lot, but I work on a team that does not ever use semicolons, and hasn't for years. It is simply not a problem, I don't know what else to say. And I have come to really dislike the syntactic noise the semicolons add.

> If I attend a conference I have the right to stay anonymous.

Sadly, legally you have no such right. You are in a public space, and anyone can take your picture freely and do pretty much what they want with it. Our society doesn't even have coherent social norms about reasonable rights to privacy in public spaces, much less law.

I agree that it would be reasonable to expect some level of anonymity, though. Hopefully some day it will be.

This could be improved somewhat if iOS or Android had a way to autofill your email address on demand. Unless something's changed recently, the only way to do this now requires asking for permission to the entire address book which many people rightly consider a bad idea.
I think you might have that concept backwards. Danegeld was payment to "terrorists" presumably arrived at through the pragmatic notion that paying for protection was better than being dead.
Where do you find work?
I never tire of comparing Lua with Javascript, and this is another one of those cases. A semicolon in Lua is simply a character which is illegal to place anywhere but the end of a statement.

There is no insertion stage, the language parses just fine on a single line, or any whitespace you choose. Semicolons are vanishingly uncommon in Lua code, but if you want to compress a couple statements onto a line, they signal your intention.

Lua is like what Javascript would be if it were: based on Pascal, written by resource-constrained Brazilians, and capable of making backwards-incompatible changes. Though with the de-facto fork between Lua and LuaJIT, the latter has become much more difficult, as it should at some point in the maturing of a language.
Backward compatibility down the drain.

On the NES, EarthBound is notable for a defense-in-depth approach to copy protection (the last layer is interesting):

http://earthboundcentral.com/2011/05/earthbounds-copy-protec...

I wonder if that helped any, though. At some point players are just going to think "this is a terrible game" and tell their friends that. The "code wheel"/shareware approach seems gentler. Give them a taste of the game for free, and then put up barriers to incentivize them to pay for the game. (IMO the F2P model has taken this way too far in this direction)
