Ferguson is just one case in a sad trend, that happened to get national attention.

Le sigh.

Well that's not what I expected.

Sad to see Notch go. The community and his popularity forced him out. 0x10c would have been neat.

There are a metric buttload of new features in iOS 8. I think the 1Password Extension is the most exciting use case for me.

Some interesting tidnits. Definitely very future-focused.

Some great things I'll need to play around with in here. I can't wait to optimize the share sheet.

I think this will be very useful for us, especially as Theo gets older.

I still think the word can be saved, but maybe that's because I'm more descriptive about such things? It's pretty clear we have some terrible people and toxic culture cleanup to do.

Sounds like Andrle made the right choice going for the 6+.

Funny, I was just asking my mom about this earlier today.

What happened to Zoe was terrible, and the worst part is that it will happen to someone else (almost certainly a woman) when they get riled up again.

91% male audience. No wonder they don't bother to be inclusive.

Not surprising that Voyager wins, though there are probably better tests that could be applied.

The threat sounds like a rare but high impact attack. Not much to do other than harden your building.

I think a shared this over a year ago, but I was reminded to rewatch it by going through old episodes of Hello Internet. Good stuff, and a reminder that we need a social solution.

Makes sense; in the US, the woman is much more likely to have more work to do because of the second child.

GamerGate is mostly conservative reactionary in practice.

The crippling injury threats to Quinn are particularly disturbing.

A bit of historical trivia I had never heard. There are other cultural influences I'm sure, but pretty great that Austen is one, indirectly.

A simple editorial that addresses the fear in the heart of MRAs.

I didn't realize how long LearnedLeague has been around, that Ken Jennings plays, or that he can run it as his full-time jorb.

Rasterization is hard.

Great example of form over function. I always figured it was because they were cheaper (which is partially true), but it's also that they were hardier and looked/kept better on shelves, even though they didn't taste good.

I really loved playing this game last fall. I hope we get a lot more in this genre, in spite of GamerGate and other attacks.

I was curious what a more fashion conscious non-tech person would think, especially since I don't know any watch fans.

"Gamers are not being vilified for the mere act of playing games. They’re being vilified for constructing and nurturing a subculture that readily allows fiascos like The Zoe Post to take hold." There's definitely an arc of history feel to it, but that will make the reactions all the stronger.

More game outlets need to take a strong stance against harassment like this. (The progressive outlook on game culture is a nice bonus, from my point of view.)

Great use of Hofstadter's classic essay to highlight the issues in gamer culture brought to light once again by the misogyny at the core of #GamerGate.

Great article by Maddy Myers (of Isometric) on women in game journalism.
