Like questions b0rk asks in that. I think the answer has often been corporate feminism (catehuston.com/blog/2014/12/03/corporate-feminism-and-thankless-emotional-labour/) creating other problems.

Family activity: the application of screen protectors to my new precious (iPad Air 2). We are pretty expert in it now. Only destroyed 2.

The only effective way to remove dust from your screen is with a screen protector. Like the first pancake, first application a write off.

(Actually I always eat the first pancake)

pilky oh dear

jyhsu I'm happy you are going to write more! A schedule had super helped me do that :)
-
ThisTechGirl it is never deliberate
-
b0rk I always think fondly of IBM where HR actually did stuff about diversity initiatives. Set goals. Organized things.
-
b0rk like I think the power of quotas is stopping tech cos from being "oh we care but we can't set goals in case we lower the bar"
-
b0rk but goals without means of achieving them are meaningless. Also as tech often eschews process unless can call it culture have to set..
-
b0rk ... A cultural goal and then create processes to achieve it. And recognize how hard it is.

cupcait when I lived there I was continually confused about what part of the year it was. Like was next year soon? Or far away.
-
jamesvasile hypatiadotca 1. Clean obsessively. 2. Apply and expect it to be bad. 3. Slowly roll out 2nd one using 1st to remove dust.
-
jamesvasile hypatiadotca you need a person to roll, a person to de-dust, and a person to hold a bright lamp.

-
One thing I didn't call out in catehuston.com/blog/2014/12/31/sigh/ is that I think responsibility for not being a bystander increases with seniority.
-
I have a good amount of sympathy for the cis-white-male intern who stays quiet. I have none for the manager who stands and does nothing.
-
Right now, a manager is gas-lighing a woman in their 1:1 because she critiqued something.
-
A senior engineer is sitting there whilst someone is unfairly disparaged in a meeting.
-
A director is not calling out gendered feedback on a performance review.
-
Tomorrow, another woman leaves the tech industry.
-
RobDrimmie def harder to call it out upwards, but the more security you have the more it is possible.

-
skamille that sounds awesome.
-
I spent a lot of time in a museum today and it really struck me how much of history is about men. Women listed only as victims, and reasons.
-
On the one hand it reassures me that with more women leaders the world will be more peaceful. But is that necessarily true?
-
Depressing thing that I learned today is how few perpetrators of the atrocities of the nazi government were actually bought to account.
-
Many of them were deemed "permanently unfit to stand trial" which contrasts with their persecution of the disabled and mentally ill.
-
dev_dsp I will have to go to Vietnam and find it!
-
mynguss oh interesting I think I saw that a while ago. I don't know :) but if she figures it out I will read her paper!

The other thing I learned today was how many nazi politicians had law degrees. I guess learning about law is not learning about morality.

farwent delusions of gender is a fascinating book on this topic!
-
lindseybieda he has GRANDCHILDREN that basically makes him a SCIENTIST
-
skamille depends if you stop at the maple store. And if you have nexus.
-
farwent Oh the socialisation of empathy. I don't know if I really believe it or if it is a comforting concept in a world full of horror.
-
farwent I wonder as with so many things that women have lacked opportunity and agency for evil.
-

dantoml even worse... these tests only fail on some of the simulators. Not all.
-
kylefuller dantoml maybe? It started when I was trying to make it safe by using CGFloat everywhere. But actual problem is...
-
kylefuller dantoml mocks saying a method was invoked that wasn't expected (when it was).
-
kylefuller dantoml hmmm interesting although I'm not sure why that problem would manifest in the mocks? And only 2 calls out of 100s?
-
kylefuller dantoml there is now no use of float or double in the app. CGFloat is used /everywhere/.
-
stakach sent!
-
Being a bit more open about The Plan since I escaped my gilded cage - Fifteen is for Freedom - wp.me/p11Aax-3SO

dev_dsp :) I tried a variety of things to repro... and now they are consistently working.
-
dev_dsp in general my tests have been trying 2day. I also had failing on 5S+ because of an "F" after I changed to using CGFloat everywhere.
-
maplemuse yep setup creates everything new. teardown verifies all mocks.
-
maplemuse anyway after trying to repro evrything is now consistently working...
-
This is really good - Critical Exception to ‘Correct in Private’ Rule. - buff.ly/1AkjeQ0 /via hypatiadotca

maplemuse I don't use static state anywhere, for this kind of reason. Saved state is stored in prefs, which are unit tested, and mocked.
-
maplemuse I've spent a lot of time working on testing well on iOS :) I'll be giving a talk on it early March.
-
percysnoodle yeah KIF is a bit annoying, I preferred it before when I could break up my tests and build on things although debugging easier
-
percysnoodle I have one test that fails every so often and then immediately passes :/ but it all just works 99% of the time. The 1% tho!
-
chris_saunders haha this app has no global state! I designed it that way :) hence the frustration.
-
chris_saunders after trying to repro everything just started passing consistently so who knows :)

chris_saunders nope. Some async with asserts.

-
thedesignnomad I'm still undecided about April and June :) we should try and collide in space and time.
-
I cannot tell you how GREAT it feels to be excited to write code today.
-
The last time I was learning Android I was miserable. Realising had very little to do with me, and everything to do with drama, environment.
-
Like a guy told me I was doing it wrong, once I'd nearly finished, "here's some code I wrote 2 years ago, so that is actually the right way"
-
It was what I had researched and was doing. Of course. But he thought code he'd written 2 years ago more relevant than my work at the time.
-
Does these things happen to dudes? Someone once pointed out to me that we don't know what /is/ gendered, what do we just accept as normal?
-
smiffy oh I just use it for tea. The apartment I'm staying in came with glasses. I don't really like beer!

EmmaAshley you just need to squash it a bit. Turn it on it's side and put something heavy on it!
-
samjarman my point is he told me I was wrong and then when I was finished he sent me code.
-
samjarman ... especially when they are right?
-
samjarman I'm 100% sure it's patronizing, pretty sure it's sexist. My question was about if men exhibit this behaviour to each other.
-
samjarman I'm very familiar with the stereotypes. My question is about what men consider to be normal behaviour from other men.

RT KathleenLD: You think there have been no incidents at an annual conf that has a massive (and well-avoided) beer event, no CoC, and ~5% …
-
Speakers just a reminder: you can ask for a CoC when you are accepted/invited to speak. It's an effective way to get one put in place.
-
100% agree that CoC is insufficient, but it's a start. And the best way to get one is for people with more power to start demanding it.
-
a_meba KathleenLD yeah I saw that - horrifying. I hope you are okay! Stay safe <3
-
My tactic: reply to invitations saying "please confirm you have a CoC" if I can't find one, to emphasize how NORMAL and REASONABLE this is.

lrnrd exactly the kind of thing you get told if you complain though "tell them we are all adults"

Darchmare I can see why that kind of outfit would make them think you were open to it :)
-
Darchmare I also said no today but I was SO HAPPY to be asked :)
-
antifuchs I don't think they are that exact tbh, if you're doing rest between weights sessions they aren't what you want.
