Ah, you're one of those people who label everyone who doesn't share their beliefs/judgment as somehow lacking in intelligence. Ironically enough, this makes it impossible to have an intelligent/reasoned discussion.

Oh you devil, your wit has scarred me for ever. I shall henceforth sit in the dark and re-evaluate my life's decisions while sitting in the fetal position trapped by a flood of my own bitter tears.

Just out of curiosity, please e-mail me personally, and tell me what prompted you to write that reply and what your expected outcome was -- my e-mail address is publicly visible. I'm not kidding, just asking human to human, nothing to do with the discussion about this news item.

What sabotage? You play a prank on them and then show them that it was a silly coordinated Internet sort of prank, NOT REALLY TRUE. It's not like you send them the SMS and then go and take a snort in front of them.

I find it funny to startle my parents when they're not looking my way, I do that to them and they do that to me. Does that sabotage our relationship? The brief moment one feels they're in imminent danger intensifies the comedic effect which soon follows.

When did our society become one of precious little snowflakes that get overwhelmed by the stupidest pranks?
Either that or I'm just too thick skinned to discern the difference, not sure about me being a moron though.

Oh man...forget about the college fund, you better invest in a therapy fund for the kids.

I've made it a point not to believe stories told by stand-up comedians, do you know that some of that stuff is made up? Seriously.

That's cruel and sadistic, not moronic. Also, not even close to the same thing. Now, answer me please.

No, at best they get you back in a funny way; at worst you freak them out for a bit and after a short laugh you set them straight.

If your parent are nutjobs and take some insane extreme measure in response then you've got serious problems and it's better you know that your parents are morons sooner rather than later.

Sure sure, just one question, why are they morons?

I just stopped reading at that point, he basically belittled every young, single, childless male -- unless I misunderstood and the term "brogrammer" is somehow complimentary. If that's your basic premise then your whole argument is of no value buddy.

Also, random CEO of random start-up expresses own misguided opinion, everyone better take a knee and listen up.

They get to appear all feminist and enlightened in the media.

I don't know, I found the title funny -- which was probably the editor's intention in the first place. And she wasn't a feminist, that word has a real meaning that I'd rather we didn't dilute; she was a prissy, attention whoring, holier-than-thou, PC bitch.

And to answer the article's question: If I were a Python dev, I wouldn't attend. That would send a more clear message to everyone involved that those situations are ridiculous than a bunch of posts on random message boards.

I assume 10Gbps were eaten by protocol overhead and arbitrary resource restrictions. Perfect distribution/load-balancing is seldom the case in the real world and this does seem like quite an achievement, all things considered. Easy link aggregation at the protocol level, a big thank you to the devs. :)

How good can someone who can be replaced by a couple of "brogrammers" be?

It does feel like that's their real agenda isn't it? I mean, how is treating women like unreasonably fragile creatures who are unable to handle the mere mention of sex feminism?

Or save space (not in cases of "send" bur for lengthier texts) and/or "catch" the eye and help the mind make an instant map of the UI to help recall[1].

[1] Don't quote me on that but that's how it works for me.
