I'm going to guess that a huge majority of that 30% female workforce is in HR, marketing, and other non-engineering roles.


That's one of the interesting things. Statistically HR has a similar gender ratio as engineering, only reversed -- 72% of all HR professionals are women (http://www.bls.gov/cps/cpsaat11.pdf).


And where are the crowds crying out loud for diversity and bringing more men to HR?


Someone must've taken CMSC420 with Meesh :)


Indeed :)

Curious, did you use any other information or was this a wild guess?

As a side note, if anyone wants to go into more depth, Samet's "Foundations of Multidimansional and Metric Data Structures" (http://www.amazon.com/Foundations-Multidimensional-Structure...) is an extensive survey of a lot of spatial data structures.


Simply mentioning PR and P Quadtrees tipped me off since that class is the only time I've ever heard of those data structures mentioned. Then I checked out your website and saw you went to UMD. Case closed, haha.


Your drop-down isn't themed correctly on Chrome for Mac, FYI!

Hey :) I'm able to reproduce this by disabling JS. I'm on Chrome on a Mac as well and with JS enabled there are no problems.


I have JS enabled... not sure what's up. Not a big deal though!


Seems like DuckDuckGo went down. Not loading for me.


All systems are go over here. Was the site not loading at all, or just loading slowly for you?




Please tell me where I can go to a hackathon and deal with romantic advances


The "friends" OP mentions are probably women. It's less to do with the particular hackathon and more to do with their gender.


The idea of a couples hackathon...wow, that would probably end well.
