that's extremely patronizing to women

Says who? You, all women?

Ada Lovelace is a real person. What's patronizing about it? We didn't make her up out of pity for women.


How about making it submit the "off" value while you're at it? So I wouldn't need js hacks for arrays of checkboxes on forms.


The way this is implemented, it’s polish over a checkbox, with a fallback to the checkbox where it’s not supported. The semantics has therefore got to be the same as a checkbox - that is, no (native) submission of “off” switches.



idk, hard to believe that with spellcheckers being built into every text editor, the post is riddled with errors. Very sloppy or almost intentional.


This is something I really hate in KDE- you choose date/time formats with a dropdown of flags, and it doesn't even give you a preview of the short format, so you have to cycle through hundreds of options and click-click-click each to find what you want, when all that's needed is [Language] + [yyyy-mm-dd HH:MM]* (or whatever) format string.

there are far fewer format options than countries, so this is an exercise in frustration

(*en_SE.UTF-8 btw)


The 'ground truth' is biology and genetics. Women are attracted to men with certain characteristics. Only women can have children. Men are aggressive and fight wars and impregnate women.

If you're not reproducing>2 and want to be a creature of pure intellect that's great; you get one generation to fart around. Meanwhile the traditional religious conservatives shall inherit the earth.


I think there are a lot of religious conservative women who are discovering there's more to life than having children with aggressive men. And also that they don't find themselves attracted to those men for very long.

But also, you're making it sound like we're just animals and nothing more. And while I agree we're animals, I think it's unfair to reduce us to our most animalistic traits. Why are you typing on a computer if you're just an animal and nothing more?


I'm saying that there are real differences between men and women and what they look for in a mate, and what ultimately matters over a timespan >1 generation is who is making more babies, because without that preliminary step nothing else matters.


Can you describe those differences? Specifically in terms of personality traits that I would associate as masculine or feminine?


Could be worded as Low barrier to entry and highly compensated.

Kids get into it just by having the tenacity to do whatever it takes to make it chooch. It's all that counts.


your theory does not match reality, and it's a political movement. As pointed out in TFA gandhi was killed by a (fellow?) hindu nationalist in 1948 because gandhi was in favor of giving part of india to muslims


Most jobs I've had require some dealing with the other. Knowing the differences and how to handle the interfaces would be a requirement for either position.

I'd certainly prefer to hire someone with both tools available, to use where appropriate, not a religious ideologue obstinately refusing to consider anything that's unpure.


while we're at it, stop saying "python"... which python are you talking about 1, 2, 2.6, 3, 3.x ??
