Could you elaborate?
/edit: Also there is sound evidence that psychology tends to biases the interest in technical stuff toward the male gender.
/edit 2: I'd like to answer, but it seem I'm banned.
There is my reply:
I'm not saying that this is necessarily the simplest explanation. But it's looks like a far simpler explanation than a worldwide cultural conspiracy against women.
Also, in my personal experience the environment in school and in university always encouraged women and girls to do "computer stuff" and yet the quota was about 10%. But that do also mean, as far as i could witness it, encouragement by male and female peers. I know, it's purely anecdotal, but make me think of this can't be that simple.
I'm sorry about the quotes. If i could quote i would have done it earlier, but i have atm no access to the scientific search engines. I'm not suggesting there is a consensus, but labeling this off as absurd... is absurd. If you are lucky enough to have access to papers search for "gender differences newborn" yields to several results. And, as far as i can remember, differences in language development, in preference pictures of faces or abstract pictures.
That said, I'm not a fan of evo psych. It's highly inductive, and often far from the simplest explanation.
There are parasites, Toxoplasma gondii, that do change human behavior to the point of making suicide more likely and cause mensurable changes in social interaction. (These do depend on gender aswell). If you think that the vastly different hormones in the human body do not affect social interaction, while a simple infection can, that seems to me something you have to prove and not something i have to disprove.
But HH is neither installed everywhere nor will the old codebase be compatible. Why not use a proper language right from the start? There are tons of alternatives that do not suffer from the shortcomings hh tries to fix.
How about: Your hosting relies totally on amazon?

Yeah. Would you go to a doctor that is specialized on "cancer and stuff"? I wouldn't. This is as unspecific as one can get.
Psychiatrists are medicals doctors treating the organ "brain". It's pretty much interchangeable with neuroscience. And before once changes, one should reason very carefully, because they are completely different, and medical school is very hard, while one says that psychology tends to be easy. Also there is not much new about this approach. It's probably as old as psychology. Maybe one could say psychology developed from the former. Pawlov for example was a physiologist.
/e Well, no they are not interchangeable. A psychiatrists does not research about bionic eyes. But the way they see human psyche is pretty much.
I was thinking about building my own physical calculator (i don't like to use smart phones for that, there is not nearly enough space for keys, and the keys give not appropriate feedback). I was looking for languages to use and I didn't find anything suitable. Forth was too raw. I didn't like factor, it seem unsuitable for a calculator. OpenRPL was, i don't know why, odd. This language, once it add other number types, and allow to omit the map, APL style, looks very promising.
But writing a whole calculator software, with the menus and integrating the programming language, ability to plot functions, inspect variables and so on, was not a weekend project as first thought because the language has to be integrated deeply.
