Yes, but that's not what they meant. In the SJW, feminist, California context, "reverse-racism" means "you can't be racist towards whites."

You can be more clever than that

Not only that, but guys would call it out as being stupid, immature, and cringe-worthy. But because it's a woman doing the same thing it's supposed to be cute.
Also it's pathetic that this is the level of instruction in that presentation. I was writing code like that before middle school. The good university courses I had threw the students into deep water and made them struggle to stay afloat. The good ones learned the shit and were serious. From that one slide I'm guessing that the class itself is as hand-holdy and wishy-washy as you'd expect from something going out of its way to appeal to "programing grrrlls"

Very good explanation. Can you explain the shit going on with all the void pointers and sizeof too?
Comment on: Report: 80's kids started programming at an earlier age than today's millennials
Kids with high general intelligence and a natural inclination to a certain type of thinking will still find computers, smartphones, and tablets to offer nearly overwhelming possibilities for creating things. Kids that aren't so inclined will direct their attention elsewhere, or perhaps won't even have that spark inside themselves at all.
At work we're not supposed to refer to "master slave" architecture. Fuck that.
