Yes, and it didn't accept them.

I just changed my Jetblue password to contain both a Q and a Z. Seems the support documentation is out of date.
I use the dictation feature in email and notes pretty constantly. It's remarkably accurate with zero training needed, and is much faster than typing by hand. Also saves on hand strain.
It's a Python script that takes in some options (which image, your github username, etc) and generates a bash script. Running the bash script actually makes the commits on the correct days to populate the pixels.

They're a large part of why I've almost entirely stopped reading comments on HN. Too many people more interested in being right than having an actual discussion.

Let me see if I'm hearing you right:
1) I'm a man, and I don't notice sexism, therefore it doesn't exist.
2) The women I've talked to never told me they experienced discrimination, therefore it doesn't exist.
3) My wife doesn't like programming, therefore all women don't like programming.
4) Being Portuguese is an equivalent status within the technical community as being a woman, and should be treated equivalently.
Is that what you're saying?
Yay! Glad to hear it all got resolved. Be in touch if you hit any more problems. And let us know what you build!
thanks for testing! so glad to hear you like the lessons and are signing up for the APIs!
Could you try the Parse course again? I fixed an issue a few minutes ago that may have cleared up your problem.
And please continue sending in tester reports on the other bugs you mentioned. We & our API partners would love to fix them up.
Good points, thanks for the ideas. Keep an eye on this—today is just day 1!
Great idea—we'd love to host it!
Sorry about that. Could you send me the links and more info? I'll look into it. sasha at codecademy dot com. thanks.
Thanks for the feedback. We'll be sure to make the wording super clear.

True, but you're missing the main thrust of the "I could never do that, I don't have time!" comment.
It's an excuse for not trying. If you don't have time to try, you can't fail.
Glad to hear it; thanks for circling back. what_ever, were you able to have better luck later?
Nope, it's up. What browser are you using?

Interesting. This might change the nightlife culture of SF to be more similar to bigger cities. I did a lot of hanging out in friend's houses, cooking, playing games, or having house parties in SF. In NYC, where the apartments are much much smaller, there's a lot less of that—people go out on the town all night and buy $15 drinks instead, and that supports the bars and restaurants than stay open late.
I'm also curious what safety measure they have on those vertical storage units. In an earthquake, all your stuff falling down in front of the door could trap you in your apartment.
If the problem is something inherent in the male constitution, then why don't we see this disparity across all majors?

Wonderfully nostalgic. I had that Nokia phone until about 2009, and taught myself to read on the Speak'n'Spell.
This advice is true, but not actionable.

These are excellent ideas! We certainly want users to be able to use what they have learned into real products.
Send me an email—would love to hear about what you're building. sasha at codecademy.com
