It's definitely chicken-and-egg, though, because if programming had remained a woman dominated field, it's unlikely that it would be as highly paid as it is. Generally, jobs that society sees as "women's work" are lower paid than male dominated jobs that require equivalent training/skills.

I'm not an expert either, but I think men got more interested when programming became less tedious. At first, you had to know binary. Then Hopper invented Cobol, and started modern programming languages. Then Margaret Hamilton, who programmed for the Apollo programme, got tired of all the male engineers looking down

It's forth on google.ie, coming in behind "sexism in sport".

Same. Did almost nothing but read as a child (it turns out very few teachers are willing to take a book away from a kid, even if you're reading it in class), and I have the spelling skills of an 8 year old. Without spell check, I'd never have made it out of high school, never mind college.

I don't know, I thought my handwriting was pretty terrible, but two of my managers, who I would guess are in their 40s and 60s, have such bad handwriting that they'll write notes on my drafts, and then sit down and explain what the notes say, because nobody can read their writing. I feel like my teachers were lying to

Hell, I had an undiagnosed learning disability at that age, and I could still write a better letter than this. I certainly didn't still turn letters around.

When Dara O'Briain was on, he refused to have a mascot. Which was wonderful. Some of the mascot gags are great, Lock is particularly good at them, but so many are just cringe-inducing time wasters. They could do an extra maths round in that time!

I do. I was thinking largely of refugees, who, where I live, are forbidden from working, sometimes for close to a decade, while their case is processed. And undocumented immigrants, who have their own problems with contributing to society.

So what about White Rabbit Project? Because as far as science-y Netflix shows go, I greatly preferred that one.

I couldn't make it through the first episode. The show seems to be trying very hard to be for someone who is not me. And I loved Bill Nye as a kid.

In the Rifftrax (which I really enjoyed), they say something similar. "For those of you who still aren't getting it, all of Neil Patrick Harris's lines will now be in German".

I could see some form of service (not necessarily military) for citizenship working in theory, but you'd need a very different society than the one we have now. At the moment, just to take one problem, we have a society that doesn't even consider all members worthy of contributing. The disabled and immigrants, for

Anyone who prefers the book to the movie is automatically suspect as far as I'm concerned. (I have a friend who loved the movie, but had never realised it was satire. Said friend has many highly concerning opinions).

I mean, I'd be willing to give it a shot. I never understood why yelling that was meant to make people more willing to die.

It is an enjoyably weird script, at least to me. It keeps kind of starting plots and not knowing what to do with them. It's like someone saw the first half of some disaster movies, but didn't bother watching the ends to see how they work.

And had the same evil wizard as the third one. Did that guy hit on some weird niche as the evil wizard in low budget fantasy films?

All of which have been agressively exported, and are therefore not exclusive. Well, except for the countryside. If you'd like some countryside, however, some of Roscommon could probably be spared.

"Fine, I'll sell you the rights for Cry Wilderness in Canada, but I'm holding out on Tawian. I'm still hoping for a theatrical release there."

I can tell when Crow is talking, but I have trouble telling Jonah and Tom apart. And Tom's voice is jarring, but I got used to it after a few episodes.

I can view it, unlike apparently everyone else. Maybe it's blocked everywhere but Ireland? It's about time we got something exclusive.
