Most of these authors label people who are not trolls, btu rather just disagree with them.

> They’ve learned even the slightest misinterpretation can land them in hot water -- not only with compliance, but with prosecutors on the lookout for financial crimes.

This is exactly the issue with police body cams.

Have you experienced violence from those in power? Its so easy to spread fear when you haven't used your brain.

And have you considered how much of your lifestyle, the best parts of your lifestyle, is impossible under any system other than capitalism? I can't think of a better vehicle for diversity and indeed there certainly isn't one. It's almost insulting when people so casually dismiss these things.

Sorry, why is it concerning? It seems concerning to me but only if you choose not to really engage with what it means.

This is the wrong argument, but the right point.

I use(d) vim and see EMacs as annoying.

Now you have

Just like any in-office demonstration interferes. Its not special in any way you know.

its happening at work no? what does it have to do with work otherwise?

I don't usually find subconscious arguments very convincing. They're kind of like appealing to magic, if that were a real fallacy.

Well I was just thinking of it interfering withwork

Are you suggesting I have an interest in suppressing women and minorities? The only reason I'd want to do that is to decrease competition, and I can guarentee you that I share the same interest regardless of gender or ethnicity

My comment was out of an interest in not being lied to more than anything else.

I wonder how they can genuinely maintain their position in light of this?

except when its disruptive, which is when i do care.

>or that women are intrinsically unable to perform in tech.

The more accurate version of this is "women find less value in tech." It deserves more consideration than it gets. There are differences that aren't just cultural between genders, and its something that should be taken into account when forming a judgement on these issues.

Many of us don't care.

I just thought you included some things there that aren't really gendered.

To me the ones that sound more likely to be encountered by a woman are sexual harrassment, being labeled hyper-sensitive, or worrying that gender would have an effect on communication.

Maybe it's just expensive to support

When you put it this way selling seems so unattractive

i mean i prefer the desktop so i sure hope it doesnt

Yea that does make sense actually.

>It is, I think, going to be very difficult to enjoy writing code in a less powerful language when you are exposed to languages that hold awesome power.

As someone whos written code in Haskell (even some medium sized programs) and moved on just fine, no.

Frankly, Haskell can be an excercise in frustration.

Personally I didn't mind them. Like the other poster said, I'd already forgot about them when I read your post.

I wonder what the good reason to sell is that he described. Like he pointed out, when you sell youre moving your safe assets to risky assets. Odd.

Sure I can see that I guess.

From personal experience its very possible to believe you are obliged to sacrifice your own well being, and you are obliged to be passionate about something. This is my motivation here.

You're certainly missing my point here.

Not being a romantic is not remotely the same as being a cynic dude. Its actually obnoxious of you to suggest that they are the same thing. Most functioning people are not particularly romantic in my experience. Similarly, most (and I would include myself here) are not cynics.

Whatsmore, being a cynic is something that is often appropriate, particularly when dealing with wild romantics.

People are free to make an informed decision in either way, if you think im suggesting coercion youre misreading me.

But the key word is informed. Suggesting that it is normal or even broadly considered acceptable to live in a closet is a lie.

Encourage people however you like but if you need to lie to them then I'm absolutely not ok with it.
