Perhaps I should've said biologically, as the article did. The point is that when you say one class of people (females) isn't represented in an industry because "they just aren't born that way," what differentiates it from any other class of people (such as African Americans).

Except that many different countries have a similar cultural attitude towards females. And again, taking a correlation between gender and math scores and extrapolating a genetic predisposition of a gender to fail in an entire class of industries is a stretch to say the least.

I'm sure black people just aren't genetically apt for STEM either?

Just because there's evidence for a correlation between gender and math scores doesn't mean there's a genetic reason for the disparity.

Botnet fraud is, umm, fraudulent? You're creating false information in order to get paid for a product (conversions) you did not deliver.

Algorithmic trading doesn't do anything like that.

Oh look, another badly written, anecdotal piece on NDEs. Without sources.

Yes it is a single codepoint. Normalization is a whole other issue, and a much less trivial one.

I commented on the article, but here as well. When dealing with unicode in Go you should be converting strings to []rune

You can still use mmap/equivalent to allocate executable memory and package unsafe to use it; the difference is that the memory allocated normally by the runtime won't be executable.

Or I missed the sarcasm.
