Or is it only for me to query info regarding a specific episode ? What kind of data are you going to provide ? Some examples would really help!
I'm working on an API that doesn't suck that will represent TV, Movies, Podcasts, WebTV, and other forms of media. A stack-overflow inspired reputation system will reward community members to contribute translations, new shows, movies and corrections. Background workers interface with EPGs, other APIs and streams of data from other sources. An image proxy server means openmedia.io will do the heavy lifting delivering…
are you thinking about other forms of media, maybe something like comic books? there's actually a pretty large need for a comic api and there's only one right now (comicvine) that has been neglected for 2 years.

Dear Hacker News: this persistent blind spot about the many casual, unconscious and dismissive ways the tech community excludes women - and get nerd-rage defensive about it when confronted - is a big part of why there are not more women in tech.

I'm wondering about the kind of data you provide and what it's applications would be. Just to be sure, would this API somehow let me know if a new episode of say.. Mad Men comes out ? Or is it only for me to query info regarding a specific episode ? What kind of data are you going to provide ? Some examples would really help!
These are all the features of a normal API. As well as access to the above, you could (selectively) register for updates to be pushed to a URL of your choosing when there are additions or amendments to the data held about the show. (or all shows, or all shows matching your criteria, etc)

Not sure how the quote is sexist..man in this context = mankind, and No, I don't regard that as sexist.
Maybe you could ask a woman what she thinks about a mass noun for humanity that excludes half of the humans.

Of course you will find women who support your point - as you will find people who support $something, no matter what it is.
The fine line between caring and taking care of a problem and moving every topic off topic, justifying it with something small, unimportant, knowingly wrong interpreted and ripped out of context is the key to change something without creating a mass of people who are just sick of a topic because of the mentioned behavior.

The habit of grepping all content for keywords without understanding context or definition inhibits rational discourse. Getting third-party apologist about it when confronted is a dead stop appeal to authority.
