Taulbee Survey depicts female computer science bachelor's degrees to be ~12% in 2010-2011
Bachelor's earned by women relative to other STEM fields. (Note decline unique to CS)
Black computer science professors near 0.25% *

If this is not your experience, it is because of interrupts (NB: it is | |
NOT because we don't write infinite loops, they are hidden down in the | |
bottom of most OSes and GUI and console applications). The idea | |
behind interrupts is that we can pause what the CPU is doing, handle | |
some new information (like key presses or the printer finishing a |

I love lists! I especially love those that involve both a selection bias AND a confirmation bias!
I especially love the paragraph immediately after the list talking about how the Christian bible discusses how we should "live on less than we make" and instructs us that we should be "saving money and thereby building wealth". What?! God wants me to not be poor?! God should provide me with better health insurance options, a higher minimum wage, more inclusive workers' rights, and better, cheaper access to healthy food options.
The wealthy have better and more convenient access (through wealth and physical location) to large grocery stores.

Want to push to two Git Repos via a single command?
Want to do it easily via a simple .git edit?
My use case is pushing code that resides on Github as well as on Bitbucket. I want it available in both remote locations in case one is unavailable.
Here's how you do it:
Add the two remotes as normal
require 'net/http' | |
require 'json' | |
# a simple wrapper to do an HTTP GET | |
def fetch_uri(uri, limit = 10) | |
uri = URI(uri) | |
request = Net::HTTP::Get.new(uri.request_uri) | |
http = Net::HTTP.new(uri.hostname, uri.port) | |
if uri.scheme == 'https' |
To CEO Jim Franklin in response to your statement (available: http://blog.sendgrid.com/a-difficult-situation/)
First, how this looks to me: You responded to a threat by some people on the Internet. You put their consideration and your own above her's. You pushed her out because the threats targeted at her (some absolutely violent) started to overflow on your business. That seems clear.
If you are looking for a developer evangelist to 'unite,' as your statement suggests, this can only be interpreted as somebody that condones the current technology atmosphere. You are setting a terrible example to the tech world that speaking out about an issue is wrong. Specifically, this concerns an under-representated minority of people in this culture, of which you, Jim Franklin, do not belong... and telling them that they must act 'appropriately' as governed by a representative of the majority, you, within the context of inappropriate, unsafe, targeting behavior.
In no way have you opened the door for a woman to rep
I'm using "microgbloggin'" as a euphemism for Twitter, which is also a company that owns servers and controls how content on those servers is disbursed.
Microbloggin' features:

require 'stdlib' # <-- import the stdlib | |

Let's say you, a native Spanish speaker, wanted to write some code and use a library, but you wanted it to be equally functional to a library that already exists, but have Spanish names. So far, our community has been focused on and expecting that everybody learn English. This is enforced in several places, but primarily in our programming languages. Let us be code librarians and ask ourselves: shouldn't we change that?
At first, I terrorized C's standard library by replacing the function names with those readable in Spanish. It was a good time.
