Spelling “Equality” With IT: Addressing the Gender Gap in the Tech Industry

Featured Imgs 23

Without a doubt, women are the minority in a lot of industries. From the general workforce up to the management levels, McKinsey’s “Women in the Workplace 2021” report tells us that women are still very much underrepresented in corporate America.

From their findings, white women make up 30% of the entry-level workforce while white men make up 35%. In more stark comparison, white men make up 62% of the C-Suite population while white women only make up 20%. An even wider gap was seen for women of color, making up only 17% of the entry-level workforce and a measly 4% for the C-Suite levels.

How to Make Git Forget a Tracked File Now in .gitignore

Featured Imgs 23

When we track a file in git, it can sometimes get cached and remain tracked, even if we add it to our .gitignore file. This is simply because .gitignore prevents files from being added to Git's tracking system, but it will not actively remove those that are already tracked. This can lead to issues when you have something you no longer want to be tracked, but can't seem to remove it from your git repository.

Fortunately, there is an easy way to fix this. git has a built-in rm function which lets us remove cached or tracked changes. To run it, you can use the following command to remove a specific file, where [filename] can be removed with the file you wish to stop tracking:

Category Image 080

The jQuery Deferred object was introduced as a part of the 1.5 release of the framework. The Deferred object in jQuery is based upon the concept of Promises. To understand all about Deferred objects, it would be wise to try to understand what a Promise is all about.

Many times in our daily lives, we cannot rely on the outcomes of certain actions. However, we may still need to make decisions about the future depending on an anticipated outcome. All we know for sure is that we are going to get an outcome. Let’s just say that we wrap the term “outcome” in a fancy-looking gift wrapper and call it a “Promise.”

Featured Imgs 23

An HTTP message is a common means by which two systems, usually a server and a client, exchange data. We typically refer to each HTTP message as an HTTP request or an HTTP response.

Typography Definitions Cover

This week Marie and Chris get together to chat about what’s been hot hot hot on CodePen lately. We’ve discovered there is a really taking to the creamy cardstock look, for one thing. Typography is always great, but we’re seeing more typographic trickery often including variable fonts. While not new, there are still loads of really wonderfully creative Pens using Three.js and p5.js. Neon-on-dark is a fresh look.

You may not have heard the term data downtime, but I’m willing to bet you’ve experienced it and the cost of bad data firsthand.

Urgent ping from your CEO about “missing data” in a critical report? Duplicate tables wreaking havoc in your Snowflake warehouse, all titled some variation of “Mikes_Table_GOOD-V3.”? Or, perhaps you’ve unintentionally made a decision based on bad data from last year’s forecasts?
