Read the second sentence. Are you saying that zero men would ever watch those programs? And in the context of the earlier post, that all women would want to watch men's shows?
Sure, but there is irony in that men becoming enraged over women playing/reviewing video games, while wondering what's so wrong with reviewing TV shows they don't watch.
It's coated with a non-sticky substance on top of the stickiness. So it's only sticky after an impact (or when someone bashes your hood with a golf club).
Managers can be dumb sometimes. They think that if they use Windows on embedded systems that they'll save lots of time and money because they can hire cheap developers who don't need much training.
"The founders" were a small minority of residents in the colonies. A very large fraction of people came here trying to get out of debt, who were convicts sentenced to be laborers, and indentured servants. The founders were fond of property rights because they came from the upper classes. Also remember that the American revolution was not initially supported by the majority of residents. I would not place any special wisdom or divine provenance in the founders.
Of course there are many many residents in the west descended from Mexican citizens from before the US took the land, and they've been told "go back home" by ignorant morons. Everyone in the US except for native Americans descended from immigrants (technically that's true for native Americans too if you go back far enough). The colonists were also unwelcome immigrants who showed up without permission.
Extremists on any side like to define language to suit their purposes. Ie, right-to-life versus pro-choice, both of those are terms designed to make their side seem more moral than the other side. "Pro" sound positive, "anti" sounds negative, so people like to use positive sounding terms.
As far as microaggressions and all, it's just typical college age nonsense. Children leave home with heightened idealism, a new sense of independence, and a desire to create a persona for themselves, then it gets the better of them; and this is not just PC correctness because the same thing occurs for conservative students as well.
I like to avoid confrontration and have a tendency to reject group think... Confrontation is bad in my view, it never leads anywhere and the winner of the argument is whoever is the best bully. At some point it's better to give up rather than argue with idiots; they're never going to be swayed by any argument so why waste the energy trying.
The committee process is such that it works against itself. Not just Wiki committees but any committee. The people on the committees are rarely unbiased observers because you have to rise to a certain level of interest in the subject before volunteering. No one joins a home owner's association when they just want to live somewhere, keep their nose down, not be bothered and not bother anyone else; so they tend to be populated with people who like doing petty politics, or who have had a major issue to be dealt with, or so forth. Political committees are almost always populated by the true believers (revolutionaries still full of zeal).
Other problem is that committees become slaves to their own rules. Once a practice is set in place it becomes extremely difficult to change. If you try others will object that the new suggestions is not how things are supposed to be done. Thus once there's a requirement for proper attribution you will get people on the committee who's highest mission in life is to ensure that there is proper attribution with no exceptions and will treat that as more important then the original goal of the committee.
I've never had to take one in over 30 years of tech employment. I was *supposed* take one at my first job for a defense contractor, and I really didn't want to do it but I was down to double digits in my bank account. But the guy who did the drug testing was not in the day that I started so we skipped it, and they never called me back to do it later. I've never seen any non-defense hi tech job require a drug test, but I have had background checks done.
Yes, which is why the majority of computer science programs are not very good these days. Back in the 80s I was already seeing a trend with companies insisting that faculty start teaching more job-ready skills, and that was when many important universities didn't even have a computer science department and it was still a part of the math department. Ie, they wanted to see the university teach C instead of Pascal for the introductory courses, things like that. However I rarely see that sort of pressure put on other departments, you don't hear complaints that math or socialogy majors aren't learning job-ready skills, but when it comes to CS they like to treat a university as an expensive trade school to stock up the entry level positions. (meanwhile in my first job after graduation I used many different programming languages and paradigms instead of only knowing one)
In my experience, you can teach the EE people to use better software engineering and they are interested in doing so; whereas the CS people have more difficulty going the other way in learning systems oriented concepts.
A problem with the hardware RNGs is that they very often don't just give you a random number on demand. They often require you to have a delay between starting and ending the operation for example, and the longer you wait the more entropy is generated. Not bad drawbacks for the occasional crypto input, but could be a problem for running simulations.
It could be both. Remember that computer science and mathematics very often overlap with each other, especially with cryptography. If you couldn't understand it then maybe you had the wrong focus in computer science. I knew a lot of CS grad students and profs who were essentially mathematicians who couldn't program but who focused on a theoretical computer science area.
Microsoft is assuming everyone will always update in the future. Thus no need to worry about build number since the entire universe should be running the latest build.
I followed the link because I thought it had information. Can an OSX or Linux computer connect to figure out what's in an update or not? I can't connect to any http://catalog.update.microsof... site, which is what the article pointed to, or even to update.microsoft.com.

I thought the article was about project managers?

Right, given accidents by drunk drivers, the victim may still be stuck to the hood the next morning.

Will the windshield wipers get rid of the deer?
It needs legs, how else will it run away from the robosexual predators?
Name a show for women that men wouldn't want to watch? Then you can debate whether "women" and "men" mean "all" or "zero"
The Three Stooges?
Right, so women writing reviews up claiming that video games are too violent or sexist will meet with welcome approval by male gamers?
Of course I couldn't contact the spirits of the dead, there was an unbeliever nearby.

Because you can't make it anywhere in politics by being a reasonable person.

Not on the rug though. It ties the whole room together.

Sure, lots of people can do that, but can they do the math behind it well enough to get a paper out of it?
