I don’t know what you mean but I’m sure the real solution to any problem any female coders might have has something to do with making more sandwiches and not talking so much.
It's a story from 2016. However, I've googled the headline, and I found many different stories of the same basic article, written by different authors/reporters regurgitating the same statistics using the same big headline. - "If the sex of the code writers was kept anonymous, code written by women was approved at a higher rate (78.6 percent) than code written by men (74.6 percent) and that means men are bad". Wait, hold up. 4%? I don't give a crap about 4%. Sure, it's a win for Team Misandry, but basically like a buzzer beater in basketball with 90ish points scored by each side. That 4% rate is especially no big deal if you also omit what the percentage is when the writer's sex is known. Can you please show me the other side of the coin?
Does anybody know what the acceptance rate was when the sex of the author of the code was known? I've tried to find the answer and now I'm tired of looking for the opposing statistic. If they have one stat, they damn well have the other and they choose not to include it in all these "stats prove men are bad" articles. So, since they have chosen to keep that stat to themselves, I'm just gonna assume that it is also a low single digit percentage. I could be wrong, but I'm guessing less than 8% because even if the unreported stat was only 8%, they would be more than happy to use the terms "twice as much sexism" or "double the misogyny" ,.. wouldn't they?

C'mon Mike, you can prove anything on the Internet, the article I saw said women make sandwiches 4% better than men.
Outspoken climate activist Steven Spielberg sailed his mammoth superyacht just to enjoy the Italian Riviera. The $250 million vessel, which is longer than two Olympic-sized swimming pools, burns around 700 liters of diesel every hour even when it is not moving.
I like it. I don't know for sure, but have a strong inclination that producers will not back off their higher prices and will leave the inflated prices in place to reap higher profits, even if they could put them back where they were.

When you figure two V-12 Detroit main engines, the hydraulic power engine and the generator, our fishing vessels, about 130', burned about 55 gallons per hour or about 200 liters, sitting still.
Under way, quite a bit more.
700 gallons is probably a bit exaggerated sitting at idle.
Under way, absolutely.

Authorities in north Florida were surprised to discover a 10-year-old behind the wheel when they pulled over a stolen vehicle this week.
Officers pulled over a white sedan on Interstate 75 just before 4 a.m. Thursday in the city of Alachua, according to the Alachua County Sheriff’s Office. The vehicle had been reported stolen out of North Port, a city in southwest Florida more than 200 miles away.
The report of the vehicle being stolen prompted deputies to conduct a “high-risk traffic stop,” the sheriff’s office said in a Facebook post.
When the vehicle was stopped, deputies saw a 10-year-old boy hop out of the driver’s seat and his 11-year-old sister exit the car, the sheriff’s office said in the post. Authorities then learned the siblings were also reported missing in North Port and the stolen vehicle belonged to their mother, the post said.
“It was learned that both children were upset with their mother because she took away their electronic devices, which is believed to have been done because they were not using them appropriately,” the sheriff’s office post reads.
After speaking with the children, deputies determined they were not mistreated by anyone in their home. Their mother, who drove three hours to pick up the children, did not want to pursue criminal charges, authorities said.
The children weren’t jailed after the incident with deputies explaining that since their mother did not want to pursue charges over the stolen vehicle, the only “crime is a criminal traffic violation and a juvenile will not be accepted into the department of juvenile justice for misdemeanor criminal traffic,” the sheriff’s office said.
A 95-year-old Korean War veteran said he was given less than two months' notice to figure out where he was going to live after the nursing home he resided in was sold to become a facility for undocumented migrants.
Veteran Frank Tammaro joined Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, R-N.Y., a vocal critic of New York City's handling of the migrant crisis, at a press conference on Monday to discuss the reported deal.
"The thing I'm annoyed about is how they did it, it was very disgraceful what they did to the people in Island Shores," Tammaro said, referencing the assisted living facility he was in.
"Then one day there was a notice on the board. I think that gave us a month and a half to find out where we were going to go," he said. "I thought my suitcases were going to be on the curb because I'm not that fast."
"If it wasn't for my daughter, they would've been on the curb. That was it. I said, 'No, no, no, no, you're not moving me,' and they said, 'Yes, yes, yes we are.' Everything was done behind closed doors we didn't have a chance to actually make any attempt to stop them because there wasn't enough time."

Largest EV Charging Station In World Powered By Diesel-Powered Generators
The Harris Ranch Tesla Supercharger station is an impressive beast. With 98 charging bays, the facility in Coalinga, California, is the largest charging station in the world. But to provide that kind of power takes something solar can’t provide — diesel generators.
It's been a while since I've stopped by Harris Ranch, good stop for long trips, but most of the EV charging stations at rest stops in CA seem to use diesel generators for power.
