At first I was thinking that the methodology described appears to be waterfall approach to innovation with bing bang brainstorming and selection.

All 3 games I have seen are quite innovative pieces which took the author years to implement and perfect. The games are quite impressive, and are equivalent to innovating "chess".

On the other side one can argue, an incremental evolutionary approach to innovative games, or an agile approach would fit the current times, better, due to the rapid rate platforms maturing and disappearing. For example, I could take "chess", or mahjong and create variations to it in quick iterations with a focus on process.

To expand, with regard to (GHC) Haskell: you can perform run-time type checks with the Typeable typeclass, and you can forgo compile-time checks in favor of runtime checks with Data.Dynamic. You can also replace compile-time detected type errors with "if this is executed, explode", with the -fdefer-type-errors flag. And of course, in any typed language you can apply sufficiently general types that you need to perform manual checks for safety.

Also, Buffer is entirely remote. I bet many people are willing to take a big pay cut if they don't have to commute to an office building every day (and of course, other people like office life -- but remote positions are rare, so it's normal that they're more "expensive" for employees who really want them).
I don't get this concern for Earth itself. The planet had much higher CO2 levels before life began. Then plants etc. absorbed some of that CO2, and a lot of it is now in coal, oil, etc. instead of in the air as CO2. When we are burning fuels, we are actually returning the atmosphere to a more original state. However that state is not good for us. So when we are talking about global warming, it is today's life, including us humans, that will suffer, not the planet itself.
I assumed this was about video game design, and it took me a minute to catch on that it was board games.

Phase two of this approach, developing 10 prototypes over the course of 6 to 12 months, sounds incredibly labor intensive. Perhaps prototyping board games is easier than prototyping video games. But this seems like it would be a difficult phase to get through, either as a side project, or doing it commercially full time.

For state agencies, assume that they are capable of misleading, but not generally capable of completely avoiding slip-ups.

So "state-level actors wouldn't use pirated software" is not good evidence - they might, both because it's easy and to make it look authentic as an independent hacker. Whether independent or not, if you're good enough to gain access where you shouldn't, you probably know where to get safe pirated copies.

But the Russian name in the most recent save is still evidence, because it's a perfectly plausible slip-up.

I really don't want to make this sound like I'm diminishing OP's experience, because from the sounds of that the experience sounded awful. However I've experienced pretty much identical treatment over a very similar thing (music) and I'm a male software dev. Wanting to listen to something quiet because the loud commercial radio/adverts that always run are pretty distracting. I can completely relate to her experience as I get similar comments.

The all-male t-shirts, the work mentor being creepy, things like that are shocking to hear and ruffles my feathers as someone who was raised with very strong morals by my parents. However I tend to feel that bullying (on a more basic level) will happen to anyone if you give a group of people (in an stablished social clique) the chance.

I'd like to say though (if the blog OP is on here), massive effort sticking with the industry and not letting it get the better of you, good job.
Glassdoor doesn't look at the tax differences (use a tax calculator), the fact that Google gives you 8.5% pension that you can use either to buy a flat (I have done it from my Swiss pension money), create a company or use it in emergency, and also you can take it out (after paying taxes) if you leave the country. Also I don't believe the 200k pound figure for Facebook London as a median compensation package. Can somebody confirm it?
As a Debian developer I was greatly surprised when I read on Ars Technica that Debian had chosen to support snaps.
Because the system JS uses is an ISO standard, it is a problem not just for JS, it works for the majority of use cases, and implementing a second number system (the old one will have to be kept forever) increases cost and complexity significantly without showing enough benefits, since those who need something different can do so.

For example, if you do "money-math" you could just use only integers (use cents instead of dollars) - your number will be an integer as long as it's a whole number and you re,main below Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER (http://www.2ality.com/2013/10/safe-integers.html). That's not enough for big-finance math where fractions of cents matter, but for most such applications it is.
An NDA deals typical with disclosing of information. E.g. you visit Google to pitch your product and tell them you plan that launch it next year, or you have 200 customers signed up. The NDA says Google can't tell that stuff to the press or your competitors and possibly can't share that information with other divisions within Google (depends on the wording obviously). It would not cover "they'll copy our idea themselves". This is a standard, central concern with anyone pitching to BigCo and something you talk over and strategize about endlessly before the pitch. Everyone basically assumes it is a risk, hence the old advice "don't pitch to Microsoft", or I guess now: Google.

If this is the basis for the case then it obviously has no merit.
The rapid is kinda redundant, because if it's unscheduled, it's going to be caused by a spontaneous release of energy stored onboard (as opposed to a scheduled, planned disassembly, where the energy is applied by external workers). Most spontaneous releases of enough energy to disassemble a launcher will be rapid.

From the article comments:

>Somebody just shared this post on Hacker News. Based on past behavior from the majority of its users I think you can look forward to being called a "feminazi" and being doxxed. You will definitely have a new "most alienating experience in tech" in your near future. Nobody on Hacker News is sexist and they are very good at understanding the difficulties of people who ain't exactly like them. They will call you every name in the book just to prove that.

Ouch.
Yeah, the presale website was pretty cool though.
You're no different with that comment buddy.
Who the hell wants to work with someone who thinks baseball is offensive?
Wow, if that's the most alienating experience she has had, I am envious. As a male engineer who does not like sports, I've had far worse experiences involving outright ridicule when I asked to watch something besides a game.

I didn't blog about it though, because I have real problems far more vexing than not having 100% compatibility with my coworkers.

The fact that they didn't let you change the basketball to friends has nothing to do with you being a women but simply because majority of the office wanted to watch the basketball.

It's amazing how some of these bitches in the industry think that everyone should worship them and do everything like they demand and if there is even the slightest thing wrong it's always discrimination, "being a woman in <insert any engineering industry here>" etc.
> If I had walked in, and baseball was showing on the television, it would be completely unthinkable for me to grab the remote and change it to Friends.

Why?

I wonder if she ever tried, or just assumed it was unthinkable. I suspect it was less unthinkable than she thinks it was. From the rest of the story, it sounds like not only was it thinkable for people to try to change the channel, it was expected even. Otherwise the joke wouldn't work.

As people on imgur like to say: Do Thing. Maintain eye contact. Assert dominance.

You have to establish boundaries. If people are doing shit you don't want them to, stop them. As a general rule, people will treat you the way you let them treat you.

To summarize: Most of the team wants to watch progam A; watching program A during dinner is an established team ritual; author wants to change channel to program B, which is "met with incredulity and laughter". Some time later, program B is running; team members come in and want to change the channel to program A. And that latter event is the most alienating during her time at Microsoft.

Wat.

It gets better: Because program A is baseball, and program B is Friends, and since we all know that baseball is a man's program, and Friends is a woman's program, this is really about gender discrimination and sexism.

I really do.

What does the TV story have to do with gender? I don't think gender adds anything. It would be no less rude if they were all die hard Firefly fans and watched re-runs every night, and author changed it to baseball.

> Anyone here (or do you know any good stories) spent any long periods either in complete isolation, or in a small group like this far away from society? How was it?

I overwintered on Kerguelen island. The environment is not as extreme as on Amundsen-Scott, but from what I can see the isolation is almost exactly the same: same amount of personel in summer and winter, just a slightly shorter isolation in winter. On the other hand there's no runway and it's too far from inhabitated land for helicopters, so in case of a real emergency the best that can happen is that a ship can come to the base and get you to Réunion in ten days or so. Also, communications are much worse it seems, with a few tens of kB/s at most, shared with two other smaller French bases in the Indian ocean.

It was great, the best experience in my life so far. It felt like real adventure that doesn't really happen anymore in the civilised world. You have to be very patient, understanding and open though, because at least a few of your companions won't be. There was a sense of companionship I haven't felt elsewhere, as well as the possibility for people with vastly different backgrounds to meet, when they would probably never had met in "real life".
Sadly, this is unlikely to happen since car makers can up sell cars based on the software they ship with. Aside from bugs, there's little motivation to ever update that or release newer versions compatible with older models. We even see the same forces in action with the aforementioned android tablets. Consider how long the typical manufacturer releases android upgrades for a given model. It's typically a year or less.
What else is to be expected when working with people who have next to no social skills in organizations that have next to no soul?
Just because a particular approach can be characterized as waterfall-esque doesn't mean it's necessarily bad, just as a agile approach isn't necessarily good. Part of what makes chess great is the fact that it has remained the same for ages, and evolution has come through the way the game is played and not through the game itself.

I'm not sure whether you're serious or ironic. This is a social dynamic I've witnessed several times in my life, in male-only and mixed-gender groups. When someone acts against the groups collective will, he or she faces an "outcry". I don't condone this, but to call this out as a gender or diversity issue seems to be a bit of a stretch.
This is wild. It sounds like the plot of a really bad 90's hacker movie.
Exactly.

I'm curious how much of Hacker News' kiss of death is trying to access the page in the browser, and how much is following that up when it doesn't immediately work with pinging, "curl -I -v", etc.
