If you use a middleman such as archive.is it's not their bandwidth anymore but the middleman's. In most cases these services don't act as a proxy but store a backup of the article on their servers. Not sure if that's always the case though.

Oh no, I'll lose all my followers on cybertruck!

I thought all these planes were crashing because they didn't have enough 737-MAX parts. Like some bolts and screws missing here and there...

If you consider only the RAM on the developers' PCs maybe. If you count in thousands of customer PCs then optimizing the code outperforms hardware upgrades pretty fast. If because of a new Windows feature millions have to buy new hardware that's pretty desastrous from a sustainability point of view.

As far as I know there is no plan to phase out Manifest V2 at Mozilla. As long as V2 and V3 are active in parallel it shouldn't have a negative Impact on adblockers etc.

Tbf if there are shitloads of reservations it's not 'unused hotel rooms' anymore. I think hotel rooms' should be rather a temporary solution while the government is searching for a more permanent shelter. If you decide permanently use a hotel to give people shelter, that's a great thing but then it's not a hotel anymore.

If you're browsing 'all' without any filters there's still a good portion of porn and porn-like content that's objectfying and thus probably repelling women.

If it's just a one time road block and you don't want to drive through the water, you could have still get out of your shoes and carry the bike over there. On the left side you could probably even hop from trunk to trunk.

The path looks nice and thanks to the little creek, it's probably less crowded. ;)

Couldn't you just draw in the sand with a stick? I think if there's an ape who's fluent in English handwriting that would make it to the news pretty fast.

As a 'last resort' if you don't find any technical tasks in the projects you'd like to contribute to, there's also plenty of other ways to help:

• Provide new translations into foreign languages
• Create detailed bug reports
• Do in-depth tests of new beta versions or nightly builds
• Provide a download mirror for the software or seed it via torrent
• Donate money to the core maintainers
• Improve the documentation
• Create (video) tutorials to improve the start for other users and make the software known to a broader audience
• Register in forums and help other users with their issues

Or simply ask the maintainers how you might contribute in a meaningful way. I'm sure they'll appreciate your offer!

The study differentiates between male and female only and purely based on physical features such as eye brows, mustache etc.

I agree you can't see one's gender but I would say for the study this can be ignored. If you want to measure a bias ('women code better/worse than men'), it only matters what people believe to see. So if a person looks rather male than female for a majority of GitHub users, it can be counted as male in the statistics. Even if they have the opposite sex, are non-binary or indentify as something else, it shouldn't impact one's bias.

Thanks for pointing that out.

Seems like a wild idea as... a) it poisons the data not only for AI but also real users like me (I swear I'm not a bot :D). b) if this approach is used more widely, AIs will learn very fast to identify and ignore such non-sense links and probably much faster than real humans.

It sounds like a similar concept as captchas which annoy real people, yet fail to block out bots.

Thank you. Unfortunately, your link doesn't work either - it just leads to the creative commons information). Maybe it's an issue with Firefox Mobile and Adblockers. I'll check it out later on a PC.

Anyone found the specific numbers of acceptance rate with in comparison to no knowledge of the gender?

On researchgate I only found the abstract and a chart that doesn't indicate exactly which numbers are shown.

edit:

Interesting for me is that not only women but also men had significantly lower accepance rates once their gender was disclosed. So either we as humans have a really strange bias here or non binary coders are the only ones trusted.

edit²:

I'm not sure if I like the method of disclosing people's gender here. Gendered profiles had their full name as their user name and/or a photography as their profile picture that indicates a gender.

So it's not only a gendered VS. non-gendered but also a anonymous VS. indentified individual comparison.

And apparantly we trust people more if we know more about their skills (insiders rank way higher than outsiders) and less about the person behind (pseudonym VS. name/photography).

While that's correct, it's also correct that the society including the working class benefits from locally produced products as they increase the local rather than international cashflow.

But of course, the main profiteers will be the higher ups.

Air-water heatpumps are far more efficient than air-air! ;)

Are there any better known sources? Charter97 doesn't appear too trustworthy to me or am I wrong?

The Guardian counted 50000 only. Any higher bids?

Not sure if it's just me but personally Boss in general feels like an anti status symbol. Whenever I see someone wearing clothes with an obvious Boss logo on it I cringe a bit and think of them having a very low self esteem and poor spending habits...
