Why should a person face a gauntlet of incivility and vitriol, one that you liken to a frying pan, to contribute to an open source project?
Code reviews, design reviews, that makes sense. Being referred to someone at a lower paygrade rather than the top tier of kernel devs, sure. These things are stressful but essential. I'd stand to lose considerable self-esteem from them, but there's nothing I can do about that but get better.
But if I went into a code or design review at work and got a Torvalds-style response, I'd be reporting the person to HR and finding a more civil person to work with. If I couldn't work around them and nobody was making them change, I'd find another job. I could try to modify the problematic person's behavior, but that would be stressful and unlikely to work, and I shouldn't have to act as my coworkers' parent.
Garrett found that there was no HR to appeal to, no way to work around Torvalds, and no way to change him. So he did in fact get out of the frying pan. He doesn't deserve to be seared whenever he gets anything done, so he's not tolerating it. Now he's getting the same things done in a way that normal people will be happier with.
This isn't a deficiency on his part. He merely doesn't want to deal with something that normal people shouldn't have to deal with.
The individual variation on this metric dwarfs any trends along gender lines.
You're also missing the "will shout in your face with invective and insults" versus "will act professionally toward you" axis, which is what we're concerned with here. Shouting in people's faces is much more gendered.
Encoding speed is another potential issue. With a movie, you can afford to spend two weeks rendering the final cut. If it takes three minutes to encode a single image, it's not going to be that popular.
It baffles me why you would wait until divorce to take an interest in your kids' lives. Are they just a point to score over your ex-wife and useless until then? Do you expect your wife to tell them you're an utter bastard the second you're divorced but sing your praises beforehand?
Privatized prisons demand the same payment regardless of the number of inmates. It's based on the number of beds instead, or it's per facility. So the incremental cost of incarcerating one more person is negligible. Over the long term, in aggregate, it can get expensive, but the cost of prisoner N+1 tends to be pretty small.
Prison labor programs offer large companies the opportunity to get labor at negligible cost and workers who are not legally able to leave or unionize. Whole Foods uses prisoners to grow tilapia, for instance. So there's a strong incentive to keep prisons full. Of course, whatever pittance they earn is spent in the commissary, so it's not like they can save up any money to make a better life for themselves afterwards.
If we could instate a living wage and extend it to prisoners, that would remove a good chunk of the motivation to keep prisons full while also providing prisoners a way to save up money for later. If we also forbade privatized prisons, we'd have our incentives aligned to keep people out of prisons and to address the problems that motivate crime. But that's a long ways away.
She posted on a board on which people called out others' bad behavior online. Doxxing was against that board's rules. Calling for online-only raids on other sites was against their rules, as I recall. That was around 2004, so it's hardly representative of her current behavior.

It's also one of the few tablets around to have a microSD slot. That's rare. I cart around 25GB of music and 20GB of video with me, and there are very few tablets on the market that can handle that.
The free smoothies have gone about 60 pounds so far for me. It's one of the job perks I'm looking for in my next company: not getting free food all the time.
In other words, you're a white cis het male, and you don't see a problem with how people like you are represented in media, so everyone else should shut up, right? I mean, there was a minor black character in one Star Wars movie, and maybe five women with speaking roles in the whole series, but who gives a fuck about them? They should be damn grateful to have that much representation!
For fuck's sake, think of someone besides yourself for one second.
If I were doing this, I'd have a probe go through the asteroid belt and catalogue the number of asteroids it identifies. Then I'd compare that to the number I'd catalogued previously. That misses rogue asteroids, of course, and assumes that asteroid distribution is uniform throughout the belt.
I was wondering how they expected us to pronounce such long sequences of consonants. Of course, even the part that's left is wrong -- alveolar trills are not a part of English.
For those of us familiar with X-SAMPA, I might render it/'kAr\i 'dAk.tr\=.oU/.
The Secure Shell extension for Chrome gets you a usable terminal and SSH client. If you need to edit files locally, vim is available too, along with several text editors. There are a couple of git clients floating around if you want to edit stuff with source control.
This isn't such a good option for me. I use LaTeX on my chromebook and want to compile stuff. I want to use sed and awk and wc. I currently use Crouton, though I'm probably going to install Chromixium instead.
In the T9 section we employed a random walk optimization. For the swipe optimization we use a similar approach but gradually reduce the number of random swaps over time so that the keyboard settles into a local minimum.
A random walk with hops being shortened over time is called "simulated annealing". It's an alternative to genetic algorithms and tends to be easier to use for problems with solutions that can't be chopped up and put together in a coherent format. For instance, keyboard layouts, which require each key to be present exactly once.
Some interviewers might use "how would you move Mt Fuji" type questions, but, the Wired excerpt explains, these questions and their answers are removed from consideration when determining whether to extend an offer, and the official (and unofficial) policy is not to ask that sort of question.
Nice try, though. The error probably comes from summarizing a summary of an excerpt rather than going to the original source, or at least the full excerpt.
For my purposes, I use third-party engines that already can render to OpenGL and Direct3D. It is trivial for me to support both -- unless I have shaders, in which case I have to write my shaders twice. I don't mind doing that for a small number of shaders. I do mind doing that for five dozen shaders.
In the case of SRSL, I think the idea was partly just because he could, and partly because he found himself modifying shaders moderately frequently.
You have to write your shaders twice if you want to support Direct3D and OpenGL. That's the biggest problem. A transpiler from GLSL to HLSL or vice versa would solve this, of course.
Direct3D shaders have a bytecode format that is at least somewhat documented (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff552891%28v=vs.85%29.aspx), so you could in theory write a compiler from GLSL to D3D shader codes. This might be easier than writing a transpiler in general, though obviously if you're more familiar with GLSL and HLSL you'd find it easier to compile to shader languages than to a bytecode you are unfamiliar with.
The person who posted the article claims to have habitually eaten an entire medium pizza in one sitting and only weighed 200 pounds. That's not "an easy weight gainer". If that were me, I'd be fifty pounds lighter.
Person with horrible diet practices who was moderately overweight lost that weight by changing their diet practices in obvious ways. Meanwhile I'm sitting here with fewer obvious changes to make and appreciably more weight than the person in the article.
You use a shim bootloader (or GRUB) signed by Canonical, which optionally loads whichever bootloader you normally use. This gives you no security benefits and only serves as a workaround for secure boot.
Granted, this only works for hardware vendors who work with Canonical (or Red Hat or what have you) and relies on them producing a bootloader that works with the operating system you wish to use. GRUB supports the "chainloader" command, but it's possible that hardware vendors might force Canonical to disable this with their signed binaries.
Canonical has spoken about the possibility of distributing a shim bootloader signed with Microsoft's key, too.
All of these are workarounds that make UEFI security worthless. It's better to be able to turn off security or manually import a key than to use a bootloader that will happily load anything and is signed with the same key that restrictive bootloaders are.

The point isn't that the person has to die; it's that they die, presumably, sooner than they otherwise would, with their crime being cited as the motivation for their early death. They are deprived of years of life, just as a person imprisoned is deprived of years of freedom.

Haphazard? I don't think there's anything haphazard about US cops killing unarmed black people.
Let's start by confiscating the guns from people who kill innocent bystanders. We can worry about the criminals after we disarm the police.

Rapists should get tougher sentences. Of course, tougher sentencing schedules do little when it's so rare for a rapist to be convicted.
