shoutout to the company whose coding challenge asked me to implement currying in javascript (it was amazing and horrid at the same time. In that it was an amazing problem i did horribly on.)

it is bothering me far more than it should that my keyboard is not 0 indexed.
(the 0 is so far away whyyyyyyy)
Computer simulations that teach themselves to walk.
you can tell by the way i walk that i will die in the first generation in service of the greater cause—of the cause of procedural digital abulation models—no time to talk
Feminist Hacker Barbie is a gift. :)
I support EVERYTHING about this. No need for gender barriers on high and deep levels of computing.
Also it’s hilarious

Today, we’re finally ready to unveil an exclusive #HourOfCode tutorial that we’ve been working on for months. Learn to code (in beta for now) while creating magical “ice art,” with Disney Interactive versions of “Frozen” heroines Anna and Elsa!
Pet peeve is when people really don't know what a computer science major does. "Haha can I call you for tech support now?" "Oooh you should hack the FBI's website." "I lost my password can you hack into my account for me?" "Teach me how to code in [language you've never used]!"
We tore apart Apple’s 850-page iBook on its new, simpler programming language, to find out why Apple would introduce a new language—despite all the headaches it will cause.

New website, CodeBabes.com, features computer code “tutorials”starring hypersexualized women. Their tagline is “We’re hot, but learning to code is even hotter!,” and every video title has the word “virgin” in it.
We’re #NotBuyingIt.

This stuff harms women in STEM fields so much, including girls and young women wanting to get into STEM fields.
In my freshman year of high school, I took a tech/engineering class that was supposed to help me with coding (I want to be a web developer/designer). I ended up being the only girl in the class (the two others dropped out after the first class). The boys in the class harassed me, made sexual jokes about me constantly, threatened me, and even made rape threats/jokes about me in class. One time, I asked for help from the teacher on an assignment and, while he was helping me, one of the students said the teacher was going to rape me (the teacher said nothing to them).
I was freakin’ scared; I went to my school counselor asking her to do something. I was told to get over it. No one in the school did anything, I was told this was expected (the ol’ “boys will be boys”), so I never told my parents and kept silent from then on. I stuck through the class and managed a B, but I can’t even begin to imagine what other women (especially young girls) go through pursuing this and other STEM fields. I was lucky enough to have a supporting family, my mom and dad gave me enough money to take online courses with Women’s Coding Collective. I finally found an accepting community. I’m in college continuing to pursue web development. Many other young women aren’t as lucky. Stop isolating, marginalizing, and pushing women and girls away from STEM fields.
UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Tweeting this now: “Hey @CodeBabes, we’re #NotBuyingIt with your sexist fuckery” (what do you mean you don’t follow me on Twitter???)

How an artificial intelligence is learning to make video games by itself
Once players learn what ANGELINA is, Michael Cook knows they’ll never be fooled. After being outed as an AI, the program’s creations can’t be mistaken for a human’s — and that’s what makes them compelling.
Cook, a researcher at Goldsmiths College and a PhD student from Imperial College London, started working on ANGELINA — short for “A Novel Game-Evolving Labrat I’ve Named ANGELINA” — in 2010. The idea sparked from his desire to create games and Simon Colton’s artistic AI experiment, The Painting Fool.

technical entitlement turns “outsiders” off.
"Nobody ever talked down to me, and I always got the benefit of the doubt in technical settings.
As a result, I was able to fake it till I made it, often landing jobs whose postings required skills I hadn’t yet learned but knew that I could pick up on the spot. ”

It’s weird that people often confuse those two pursuits. People who are into very theoretical computer science are thought of in this same way as people who are shipping desktop applications. And they don’t really have a lot to do with each other.
