35 years after graduating from engineering school, this book helped me finally understand why calculus works, instead of just learning how to mechanically apply it.
I agree. The section on web browsers mentioned that Nicola Pellow joined a team of 19 developers at CERN. It doesn't say that she was the only woman on the team, but since she was singled out that is the way I interpreted it.
It's a bit hard to say that web browsers would not have existed if one out of 20 team members was not there.
This is a straight rip off of the Strange Planet cartoon by Nathan Pyle. I have the daily calendar, and this was on it about a week ago.
Edit: so it appears that this is an early version of a cartoon that he redid in the Strange Planet style. I didn't notice the name, because it's white on light gray.
But this ignores all the cultures where women's breasts are not considered sexually. I lived in Africa, and it was actually a big adjustment for me, even though the local people's attitudes were changing due to Western media. 25 years of Canadian upbringing made it hard not to look when women or teenage girls took off their shirts. But that was my problem, not theirs.
And not just Africa. In rural Japan japan, before WWII, women were often topless.
We just had this discussion at my office. Our newsletter editor is using an Adobe subscription. Even for a nonprofit, the price is going up to $650/year.
The problem is that she has been using Adobe products since the mid 1980s. So to switch, she would have to relearn alternatives to Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Acrobat, and a couple of other things that she has been using for more than 30 years.
We would have to inventory all the features she uses, and then make sure that whatever replacements she uses have the same capabilities. It just doesn't seem to be worth the time and frustration.
It's not really necessary to include indexOf() twice in the "Additional Methods" section.
I don't see much points in your page, when something like MDN is available, but I also feel stupid because I didn't know that the forEach() method existed, and it appears that it is ancient!
Ever since I dropped a hot tray of food on the floor, fresh out of the oven, my wife has said that I season my food with hate, and it still tastes pretty good.
Back in the 1980s, before MS Word was the unquestioned king of the desktop, there was a DOS word processing program called WordPerfect. Everyone used it.
WP had a feature where you could press a special key combination and the screen would split. The top would have your text (not WYSIWYG, that was way in the future, although WP could show an approximation).
In the bottom part you could see your text, along with every control coffee code that turned bolding in or off, marked text for a table of content, etc.
Not only could you see it, you could navigate through it and delete codes, or watch the codes change as you edited text in the to half of the screen.
It gave you a control that I still miss these days. No more wondering why your word processor is doing columns wrong, or why the image you inserted doesn't line up properly.
One place where it makes sense to use the word female as a noun is when an individual word like "woman" doesn't work. For instance, if there are girls and women together, neither "women" nor "girls" is appropriate. In that case, I think "female" is the only option. I'd be happy to hear if anyone has an alternative.
