> Innovation in dedicated cameras has slowed to a craw
Agreed! A dSLR with the same hardware/software sophistication of modern iPhones would be a marvelous product. If camera manufacturers are unwilling or uncapable to deliver this, I wonder if Apple would ever consider entering that market. Imagine: an iPhone with an APS-C sensor and replaceable lenses! The sad truth is that it would probably be a product with too long a lifespan for Apple to build it.
That's assuming the code even makes sense. Have you ever been looking at some code, having no precise idea what it does, with no commit history to give an explanation? That's when unit tests would be useful documentation.
Interesting POC, I found out about it precisely in my github feed. Now, you really could have given it a different name. If you change it people will not have a problem sharing it. It's unnecessarily offensive!
Yeah... I just vaguely remember something like this popping up in the past. I guess it was a slightly different issue. Your suggestion would work, or at least only showing up in feeds until the collaboration has been accepted.
What's your /graphs/traffic page look like? Have a lot of people checked the page out?

The intent was a bit different, followers were not the target, the user being added was, but the core problem was the same: you don't get to confirm if you want to become a project's collaborator (and can't squelch such requests), you just get added.
> The question then comes up: How is it that someone can just add you to a project on github without your permission? Well, github will just let you unilaterally add someone else. You can just pick a random person and give them commit rights to it. It's under the assumption that you wouldn't do something as stupid as adding someone who hates you to your own project. In this case, it's a project the person doesn't care about, so adding them is just intended as an insult.

Oh come on. I'm not even sure "mansplaining" is a thing, but even it is, in no way does "mansplaining" == "socratic method".
Also, did you even know Alex Potato is a man†? I know two Alex's, one male, and one female. I've never spoken to a potato.
Or is it automatically "mansplaining" because the topic is about a specific woman being underpaid/overworked, and any helpful suggestions to that specific women (that reframe the situation and empower her to improve things herself) are automatically sexist? I mean, I'm happy to condemn employment conditions that systemically underpay women, but that won't actually help Sam, whereas this advice might.
In conclusion, whilst obviously not everything men write or say that is intended to be supportive of feminism is actually helpful and supportive, it really worries me that if men who are trying to help are shot down for missing the mark, then fewer will try in future, and the only ones left commenting will be the trolls who are looking for such a reaction.
† I mean, we could assume they were because they appear to work in software or the like, and play paintball, but we shouldn't do that because it would be sexist, right‡?
I don't see anything on that page that indicates Alex has stated a gender identity, so that's an awfully presumptuous thing to say. Maybe you should stop mansplaining?
Hi, I'll add upload to imgur shortly so you'll be able use that. In the meanwhile you can play wheel of fortune and use doge as a service :) http://dogr.io/wow/suchfriends/manysharing.png
Hi, thanks! It's a node app with some simple canvas rendering code. The rendering code is shared by the client and server. The text splitting is rather simple too but I had fun writing it. It's open-source of course! https://github.com/codazzo/dogr
