Why do you think it is discrimination and not just women not choosing that career?

Look at other previously male dominated positions like doctors and law where you now in Sweden have more women graduating those fields than men. Something changed there. I doubt software development has been more hostile and conservative than for example law.

The thing is that women are studying at university at a larger degree than men in Sweden but they are not selecting STEM fields, especially not computer science.

Maybe it will change with role models, culture and different initiatives but I suspect that most young women right now think it is a boring as fuck career (at least those I talk to).

It would be like someone asking me if I would like to study to teach kindergarten. Maybe I as a male have been conditioned not to see that as an option and maybe many more would choose that career if we were raised differently but for me it just sounds like something I would really really not like. I respect the work but for me taking care of tons of kids all day sounds incredibly boring and rough. The idea that there is discrimination (which there is and some men suffer from) is not near my mind.

Most women I talk to express similar thoughts about software development.

That is because you see it as equal rights under law while the other person will see it about their religious right under law.

>If one just trips for the sake of tripping, then there is not much to be gained except for several hours of happy serotonin hits in the brain.

Which is perfectly ok and probably preferable for most who waste trips by thinking that you must think deep and just get uncomfortable.

And while obviously there are results where people make large changes my own experience about those people is that a lot of insights are like New Years Eves resolutions said when drunk and happy; the change or insight goes away when a short time has passed.

I don't know what really happened but assuming he just refused then I assume that will in the future more been like a teacher who refused to stop calling his black students negroes than an example of PC hysteria.

But who knows

How do you view intersex people?

I truly think it does. You will usually raise your salary most by changing jobs anyway and when you start out you most likely don't have that much need of a high salary.

A start up might absolutely not be the right way to learn though. Joining a mature and disciplined engineering organization might instead be a much better choice for learning.

That is an odd statement. Corporations admit wrongdoing or mistakes all the time and not to mention there could never be any lawsuit from something like this.

It is just that they introduced a rule and still feel it is a correct one.

It is not, it exists in Sweden in a way as well.

I guess it is possible if the thing is making him happier while developing.

Did they even get any significant amount of advanced gear that way?

Most heavy things they got from looting Iraqi military.

Which is good. It has been discussed here in Sweden as well and it feels pretty odd that we would subsidize packages so they pay less sending something all the way from China than I would pay sending something to the next town.

I get the history behind it but the world has changed since then.

I wonder if that is a mistake. All other pages have a decent text size and for some reason when you click in on individual blog pages they are set with a font-size of 0.6 rem.

My experience is that the resulting architecture will sometimes end up with characteristics that makes it easy to test but more complex, exposes things it should not and too many layers of indirection.

DHH wrote some about it here: https://dhh.dk/2014/test-induced-design-damage.html

I do like automated tests (unit and integration) and often TDD is appropriate. However tests are not the end goal of an architecture. The code should be maintainable, easy to follow and simple to reduce number of bugs. If TDD starts to change that by adding layers of indirection or changing the purpose of something just so you can do a fast unit test then something is wrong.

I'm not missing that, it was just not something that was discussed. I was talking about weight gain and weight loss, not how easy or difficult it is in practice.

What you eat will of course matter when it comes to nutrition, muscle gain, satiety and many other factors but that in itself does not generally remove that a calorie is a calorie (unless extreme diets).

Why do you believe that makes a significant difference? And if so how big difference does it make?

Can I eat 2000 kcal with one diet and gain weight and 3000 kcal with another weight and lose weight?

Your body does not work harder just because the food has high glycemic index, I would say it is the opposite. The body has a very easy time using glucose for example compared to fructose which needs to through the liver which in turn increases the risk of liver damage if you eat too much.

However I was obviously referring to the weight gain and loss I mentioned in my previous sentence. I.e. the long distance runners in your link that chooses high glycemic food are not getting fat anytime soon.

No, it has not. It is very well supported by studies.

While there of course are some outliers if you take completely extreme examples generally it is true when it comes to weight loss.

Eating 2000 kcal of vegetables is the same as eating 2000 kcal of bread and meat.

Maybe you have heard The Passenger by him before: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLhN__oEHaw ?

Sweden has a lot of entrepreneurs for being a pretty small country and has historically been pretty friendly to companies.

The US also assassinates non citizens in other countries without trial that generally would not be accepted if other countries did the same in the US.

i.e. China sending a drone and blowing up a US citizens car, killing him and his family, somewhere in the middle of US and just saying that they were terrorists and a threat to China's security; but not not providing any evidence as that is classified.

In this case the article is talking about pretty expansive hardware projects, think GPS or a drone fleet and that software needs to be involved earlier with requirements and design instead of an afterthought.

That is quite different than the CRUD web application that most people are working with.

How is that even relevant though? She is commenting on that software should be involved earlier in huge military projects that have previously been dominated by hardware and you are nitpicking that the university web server cannot handle the traffic?

She is talking about systems as in "GPS" or "Drone fleet", i.e. huge systems with significant hardware components and that these days software will be such an important part that it needs to be a part of the earliest designs and requirements.

Yes, people seems not to be reading the article at all.

Someone should just change words to "hardware people" and "software people" and I think people here would receive it better.

I get this issue and I share the frustration but is this really a comment on the article posted?

In this case we seem to be talking about huge military projects like GPS or Drones and that there is a divide between the hardware parts and the software parts that might have made sense in the past when the interfaces between the hardware were simpler and software was mostly internal. But now when software is such a big part you need to involve software people earlier looking at the bigger picture from the beginning. It will also drive how hardware will be developed, i.e. what you can do with software will drive how you should develop your autonomous military drone fleet.

Visual Studio Code is probably one of the best received Electron applications. Tried it?

I assume they realized they don't need that many air superiority fighters and that they are costly to maintain. What would you even do with 750 planes that have very limited use in bombing Taliban fighters in caves?

Is it really a microservice architecture? It looks like it is a web application with a frontend, backend api and normal modules/packages for the functionality?

As far as the reputation of them being rude I've heard it is more of a Paris thing (which I guess would translate to a New York thing) and not so much outside of Paris. I've not been there in many years but I had a very nice time, even in Paris, and I would love to go back.

I'm not from the US so depending on the relations at the time it might be a different experience. I assume when they were trashed in US media for not joining the Iraq war I there were at least some resentment against US tourists.
