As of this past weekend, Ben Noordhuis has decided to step away from Node.js and libuv, and is no longer acting as a core committer.
I'm probably going to step back from libuv and node.js core development. I do it more out a sense of duty than anything else. If this is what I have to deal with, then I'd just as rather do something else. Hope that clears things up. Thanks.Yup.

And that doesn't prove shit.You can't ``prove" anything with regards to probability, unless the probability is actually 100% or 0% exactly. But you can determine what the probability of something being true is.
Besides, there is no law against white people meeting and talking.Moving the goalpost. I never claimed that they ``broke the law", just that there are signs that non-whites and non-males are discriminated against. Just because you don't ``break the law" doesn't mean you didn't do anything wrong.
No one prevents Pakistanians or Indians from hav ing their own meetups. Whites have a full moral right to enjoy company of other whites.I don't think that is acceptable unless it's a meetup relating to that culture or ethnicity. If it's a professional meetup, I don't consider it remotely acceptable. Calling it a programmers' meetup is a lie in that case, they might as well say what they mean and call it a ``White programmers' meetup".
Britain is about 95% white. Globally, about 92% of programmers are male. Assuming these percentages are representative of the total British programming population, then one would expect that a representative sample of British programmers would have a (1-(0.95^N)) chance of being 100% white, and a (1-(0.92^N)) chance of being 100% male, where N is the size of the sample.
The article indicates a sample size of N = 15. This sample is reported to consist entirely of white males. The probability of this sample being all-male is 54%. The chance of this sample being all-white is 71%. The chance of the sample being BOTH all-white and all-male is 38%. Which means, there is a 62% chance of discrimination being involved somewhere along the line.
