All type of engineers. I have a lot of heated discussions with colleagues which CAD or FEM System is best.
Most of us end up knowing the basics of all of them

Currently, no time for it. But since I am working a consistent 40h week for the first time in years, I can finally clear my project backlog, so hopefully soon. I have some nice ideas for Inkscape for example, that I'd really like to impement.

@irene which explains the higher success rate for women in general (and is exactly what I meant by self selection). But what about the other side, the lower success rate for female nicknames?

@irene Yes, that's definitely true - however, since a lot of people oppose the idea presented in the study, I would have expected articles pointing out flaws in the method or a study stating the opposite. The fact that I can't find such articles makes me tend to believe the results. Which makes me worry.
After all, this is the scientific method. If you want to prove someones results wrong, find proof for that.

@irene Read for example
https://peerj.com/articles/cs-111/...
Tl;dr : pull requests from women are actually more likely to be accepted overall, probabaly because of higher self-selection. But when the nickname is obviously female, the probability falls significantly below the one for men.

Meritocracy itself has nothing to do with sexism. But the current execution is flawed, because humans make errors.

So the common denominator here appears to be "noone likes SJWs".
For the rest, I tend to agree with @AndSoWeCode, minus the insults.
Removing words can help. My grandparents for example always use the word "nigger" because when they grew up, it was not neccessarily derogatory. People felt offended and society agreed to use a different word like "Black People" or "People of Color". Nothing wrong about that.

If meritocracy has created some bad behavior from people in the past (like lowering the probability of accepting pull requests from female nicknames), why not get rid of those associations by using a different word and keeping the original idea ?

I find your obsession with dark themes intriguing. I tried several times using a dark themed IDE, but I get headaches after a few minutes. Light theme feels so much better

Only downside: less reasons to rant about Windows.

@irene Ideally, yes. But they have a lot of possibilities to hurt a big organisation like Mozilla, and they have to deal with this someway.

If they don't, they will soon find a metric crap ton of articles stating that everyone using Firefox is racist. And a lot of people will believe this, since people are stupid. Then organisations will stop contributing and the whole project goes down the shitter.

If they can prevent this by changing a few words in their policies, hell yes.

@irene should have written "stop further attacks from" instead of "please"

@irene or maybe, just maybe, they just wrote that to please SJWs and won't change anything? After all, not all people are evil.

The article actually states a good point:

"I personally long for a word that conveys a person’s ability to demonstrate competence and expertise and commitment separate from job title, or college degree, or management hierarchy, and to be evaluated fairly by one’s peers. I long for a word that makes it clear that each individual who shares our mission is welcome, and valued, and will get a fair deal at Mozilla – that they will be recognized and celebrated for their contributions without regard to other factors.

Sadly, “meritocracy” is not that word. Maybe it once was, or could have been. But not today. The challenge is not to retain a word that has become tainted. "

So tl;Dr: they want to continue to recognize everyones contribution without regards to other factors. But because SJWs attacked the word Meritocracy, they will have to change the wording. That's all.

Isn't that exactly what you all want?

For the CSV issue: just use the Text Import feature, you can set the separator there.

you save 2%

Add to cart

@sbiewald Okay, TIL. Granted, I'm not exactly an expert on quantum cryptography ^^

@R1100
There are, however, some rules on certs that you should follow:
- never ever store the private key anywhere accessible to someone who should not have acces. An imposter could take the identity of your site and you don't want that. A copy on a USB stick in a locker is fine, a copy in your dropbox is a nogo
- if you suspect someone got hold of your private key, immediately revoke the cert (a good CA can do this) and get a new one
- create the private key directly on the server it will be used for, reduces the risk of someone intercepting the communication
- use wildcards very cautiously, i prefer getting a new one for a new subdomain

@R1100 as far as publicly known, even banks and government organisations use the same type of cryptography that SSL uses. A functional quantum computer with a few kilo qbits will evaporate almost every encryption in use today. But there are some quantum safe encryption algorithms which can be used in that case. Unfortunately, you need a quantum computer to use them.

@R1100 have a look on the basics of SSL. Yes, the key is constant while the cert is valid (often about 2 years). No, this is not a problem because it takes even supercomputers a lot of orders of magnitude more time to factorize the public key.

@R1100
Normally recommended is 4096bit or higher. This number may increase over time.

Wow. I just rebooted and now it works in edge (and yes I always use Strg F5)

@xonya nope, that's not the cause, yet I also thaught about that bug

We are talking about a simple drag and drop via jquery. Nothing asynchronous, no ajax calls.

@Draedus nope

For the most part I think edge is underrated, pretty fast and not so resource hungry. But this... I have no words

Awful taste, but great execution

I have done some basic stuff in Fortran for simulations. After doing this, I will probabaly never touch a larger project in this language. And still there are some actively developed projects with millions of lines of Fortran code, eg commercial finite element analysis software
Hats off to the poor souls doing this.

@FahadAlt
Yeah, what Frontend librairies do you usually use and recommend? I just used jquery and it was definitely helpful.

How about a management system for your school? Managing courses, students, grades, programmes. Lots of different areas involved and maybe it will even be used (friend of mine did this for his school some years ago and they still use it)
