This is what you get when you hire someone for no other reason than their sex. There are many women I know who do a fine job running companies and groups within companies, and what they have in common is that they spend more time doing their jobs than seeking publicity.
RMS gave a keynote speech where he described women who had never used EMACS as virgins,
I remember having a rather heated discussion with Don Hopkins once about whether teaching secretaries to use EMACS was the Right Thing To Do(tm). As I recall, he was vehemently opposed to WISYWYG editing programs like MacWrite.
FB certainly could have replicated Instagram for a lot less than a billion dollars. What they've done with it since the acquisition doesn't change that fact.
You can also become a better programmer by learning Lisp, Prolog, and various assemblers. The more you can free yourself from a particular language's mindset, the better.
If the structure is just ice, it would be awfully brittle, and more so the colder it gets. Something like pykrete made with water and the martian soil should be rather more reliable over time.

Perhaps. It depends on his ability to attract suckers to risk their money.

Yeah, having a half-assed knock off as the main entry on one's resume isn't very promising, is it?

This is what you get when you put women in tech.

of course according to many on the interwebs the main reason Ms. Mayer failed is because she has a vagina.
No, that's why she got the job. She failed because she's incompetent.

In fact, SCO's claims of copyright infringement are generally accepted as mostly correct.
Not by anyone other than SCO's former management and their lawyers, they're not.

The Russians apparently tried hacking the RNC [businessinsider.com] but failed because no one clicked on a stupid phishing link.
The really amusing thing to me about that is the way that the Democrats always assume that they're smarter than the other brand of the Ruling Party.

what the party was up to wasn't nearly as nefarious as you seem to want to paint it.
So, fucking over Bernie's supporters in favor of the Wall Street candidate is just fine with you?

Actually Balmer's brilliance as a CEO was never acknowledged especially by techies.
Techies are known for refusing to acknowledge fictitious attributes.
Ballmer pissed away around 40% of MSFT's market cap. He was (and remains) an idiot.
