Comment on: GitHub's new far-left code of conduct explicitly says "we will not act on reverse racism' or 'reverse sexism'"

SF thinks that tech is mainly rooted in SF. Everyone else knows otherwise.

Comment on: GitHub's new far-left code of conduct explicitly says "we will not act on reverse racism' or 'reverse sexism'"

"Our open source community prioritizes marginalized people’s safety over privileged people’s comfort."

What?

GitHub needs to make a statement about this or people are going to start moving away in droves. I signed up at Bitbucket last weekend and will probably start migrating in the next few days. This is stupid.

Edit: This is for GitHub's own repositories, not for all GitHub repositories. Still, it isn't a good sign. Tech will always be a meritocracy. Anyone trying to move against that will just be trampled underfoot by $$.

Comment on: Resources to learn C?

Google yourself "learn C the hard way."

Excellent resource. Easy to pick up where you left off. Highly recommended for young/beginning programmers.
