    I think the problem a lot of people here are having is that they’re assuming the accusation is active sexism. Like it’s a cognitive decision to go “phht, what would she know, she’s a woman”.

    I suspect the vast majority of mansplaning scenarios are subconscious. They probably don’t even know that’s what they’re doing abs would never see themselves as being sexist. I think that’s because everyone sees the word “sexist” and associates it with clichéd extreme sexism, like cat calling, not wanting a Female pilot, ignoring their ideas in meetings etc.

    The thing about subtle unconscious bias is that you’re almost never aware you’re doing it, but it still has similar effects on the affected group.

    The healthy thing to do is to listen to the person it’s affecting, analyse the scenario, and reflect on if it’s something that you, or people you know, might have been doing without realising.

    I wish it was mandatory to provide context… So many comments and no one explaining what this is all about.

    My guess is that they went camping, the babies lured grizzlies over that ate the parents. The grizzlies looked after the babies like they were their own. The babies are now a modern day grizzly version of Tarzan.










  • Honestly love tailwind. Once you get used to all the names/abbreviations and how they work with sizes and states etc. it’s much easier to see what’s happening when eyeballing code.

    Makes reviewing and bug fixing easier too.

    I get that early on it feels annoying. I recall disliking it the first time I learnt it, but then when I went back to regular css and classes I really missed it.


  • Doesn’t apply to my case

    Really? Anecdotal evidence, in a scientific setting, is described as

    casual observations/indications rather than rigorous or scientific analysis

    This study is about the general trends of people judging others with tattoos incorrectly. It doesn’t mean everyone, always, judges people incorrectly.

    It also states that context matters for how accurately you judge someone. The gun, money, and the public information of his terrible actions, all change how you assess them and how accurate your assessment is.

    So in your case, yes, if you judged him as a rapist because he had a birthday tattoo, you were correct. But that is anecdotal evidence. And context based.

    Unless you’re implying everyone with a birthday tattoo is also a sexual assaulter/rapist, which is certainly a take, then it is anecdotal and doesn’t go against the studys findings.



  • I recall saying something like “the function ‘draw_card’ doesn’t mutate the deck variable” and it goes “I’m sorry, you’re correct. I’ll fix it to mutate the deck variable” and it returns the same code but changes the the card variable inside function to be called “mutate_the_deck”.

    I felt much safer after that interaction.


  • I was using phoenix and elixir right when Chat gpt came out and people were like “it’ll take our jerb”.

    I tried to get it to build a basic module that built a playing deck of cards. At first it looked OK, the basic layout made sense, but then I realised it called functions that weren’t there, some functions were just empty, since logic was wrong and actually it was all around terrible.

    I tried to fix it with prompts and it got worse or implemented my suggestions incorrectly and was still broken.

    Ultimately it took a lot longer to get no where than if I’d just written it by myself. But I could see how someone with not much knowledge in the area could see the output and be impressed.
