roopeshv··on Google+ Fails Because It Makes You Feel Like A Loser
isn't there a similar article on the net where people said facebook should get out of this social networking space because it's effectively competing with myspace and orkut?

How many times will people rehash the same arguments?

roopeshv··on Why I don’t use Google+ (as a woman)
what was that about being judged? and generalizations?
roopeshv··on Why I don’t use Google+ (as a woman)
I think a more apt title would be "Why I don't need online presence"

with gist: I'm a woman and will be targeted for it. and my job doesn't require me to, and is better avoided

roopeshv··on Amy is every developer's wet dream.
i don't understand the anatomically implausible part

i don't think it's yoga pants

lot of people can call you honey. some even use it just to reference other people. like darling is used UK (most annoyingly, gordan ramsay)

roopeshv··on Amy is every developer's wet dream.
you are going to get lot of criticism for the title, and first page. just a heads up.
roopeshv··on Why did world forget Boson’s father?
who is this fucktard that wrote this? it's higgs boson particle. not higgs particle.

> "I believe it is a deliberate omission," says P M Bhargava, founder director of the Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology

biology center's director? seriously to comment on physics. I agree he might be a scientist, but this is retarted.

flag (everyone flag it too)

roopeshv··on The Upside Of Not Being A Billionaire
an article about false dichotomies.
roopeshv··on Google vs DuckDuckGo: Without JavaScript
I don't know why you switched off the javascript. If you want to test how it looks where js can't run check this: http://imgur.com/wJIGO. It's w3m browser, and both work fine without javascript.
roopeshv··on Catch-22: Tech Blogging As a Woman
then you'll be accused of objectification.
roopeshv··on My Perception of CoffeeScript
the only reason i use CS is because I can get away with typing way less than needed. There is a one time cost (huge? or not!) for setting up tooling to compile it automatically.

If not anything, typing is the only reason I love CS. Because studies have shown (anyone got links, i know them from greg wilson's talk from CUSEC)

1) Less lines of code - less mistakes

2) You produce same number of lines of code, no matter the language

and (not related to studies) 3) less lines to debug 4) if you can deal with the idiosyncrasies of JS, that person can deal with CS quite well. (stawman argument anyone?)

you can suck my dick then
roopeshv··on The Silencing of Maya
please provide citations and don't expect people to clean up after you. and still it's a hearsay, no link to memo (although internal)

so, please cite.

roopeshv··on Let's get a little louder
he's an asshole, so he's a potential rapist. he doesn't respect his daughter and wife, so a potential rapist. he is bothering me, so a potential rapist. i don't want him to make me uncomfortable, so let's make him publicly and nationally uncomfortable. great logic. i wish this world was filled with more awesome people like you.
roopeshv··on Biz Stone Explains Why Twitter’s Co-Founders Are Betting On Vegan Meat Startup
> "They were coming at it from this big science, super practical, scalable angle. They were saying, 'We want to get into the multi-billion-dollar meat industry with a plant-based meat.'

show us the science. (anyone who fucking links me to documentaries, and non-cited articles/studies, i'll fucking punch them in the face)

roopeshv··on SPDY Review by Opera Software
from the downvotes all I understand is you have no clue of any more.

and more?
roopeshv··on How to Hack the Marathon: Things I've Learnt From Running
tldr: run for enjoyment, not for running sake.
roopeshv··on Let's get a little louder
i am not addressing most parts of the answer, but this one part of the reply bugs me the most; "he wound up raping another member". Because this equates any sexual harassement with rape. Are you suggesting that someone would eventually rape just because they are assholes?
roopeshv··on Anders Hejlsberg Is Right: You Cannot Maintain Large Programs In JavaScript
did you listen to the talk
roopeshv··on Anders Hejlsberg Is Right: You Cannot Maintain Large Programs In JavaScript
in all fairness, that sentence is said more like a passing comment and not a discussion topic
roopeshv··on Let's get a little louder
No matter how it is modified to fit the context, that is not how it's taken http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_tolerance
roopeshv··on Michael Lewis: Don't Eat Fortune's Cookie
because science focuses on repeatability and control. personal successes do not. Any thing that passes as science has been proven to a degree of certainity, by definition. Any science is good science because it's been proven, and then there is science that got famous.
roopeshv··on Let's get a little louder
from the CoC is fuck a sexual language?
