That's almost definetly it. Tim Cain, the "original" developer of Fallout, talked about a lot of the features of the engine. These are things that are either in use now in the GameByro engine, currently used by The Artist Known as Black Isles, or would be valuable to current day game developers.
Whew -- it's software. Title makes this sound like you show up with a box of rotten apples and a CRISPR.
I absolutely agree - I feel that mainstream outlets ignored this rising phenomenon because they thought gamer culture was "marginal". They didn't cover Gamergate (a yearlong slog) nearly as much as they did its one foray into more "traditional" media culture (harassment of the stars of the Ghostbusters remake).

If this had been going on mainly in film, or television, or literary fandom, I think people would have taken it much more seriously as a leading indicator of cultural changes.
It's not really riskier, just more effort than it's worth IMO. Note that there will (or soon should) be some newer HWE kernels for 16.04 out.
Ellen Pao is not a particularly good icon if you wish to discuss sexism.

She filed a sexual harassment lawsuit over a relationship that she agreed was consensual. Once you decide to start sleeping with coworkers, you're pretty much sunk in a sexual harassment lawsuit irrespective of whether you are male, female, defending or prosecuting.
That's only in theory.

In many companies, the apparent job of HR is to allow the HR director to act like a little Napoleon, even if it harms the company substantially.

This may be true of publisher in-house development teams, but I've seen and worked at third party studios that do little to nothing about post-release archival, a fact connected to having minimal IT controls and the end of a project often resulting in a massive layoff. Things get lost in the dust-up; dev kits get lent out from a publisher for one project and then aren't returned. The build server gets "reused". The same version control repo is used to ship two different games sharing the same engine. One coder stays behind after the rest of the team has been let go or moved to something else, in order to fix bugs, so he's the only one with the most up-to-date build. What is left over is a mishmash of project artifacts but no guarantee that "project K at point in time T" can be reconstructed in full.

And with some of those Sierra projects, their archival might have all the assets they could find; that doesn't mean they have all the assets.

If that woman turns around and sexually abuses another individual her behavior will be equally abhorrent to the original attackers which is the equivalent situation to his/her post.

You don't get to point at abuses subjected onto yourself by individuals as a way to excuse abusing other individuals.

The OP is angry because he's being marginalized by a group of individuals simply because of his race. So he engaged in the exact same behavior and marginalized some other group of individuals based solely on their race.

This is the literal cycle of hatred that keeps us divided.
I'm reading answers on this thread and having a strange feeling of some disconnect between the question - or rather a possible interpretation of the question - and answers. Maybe it's just a feeling that answers make some assumptions which could be substantially wrong?

For example, if the question author is a yesterday graduate, he may use the internship route. But then he may not know "the old route" - and mentioning "going past the gate keeper" without elaborating may leave a puzzled look. At least before some figuring out (a.k.a. googling) what's that.

Or if the author had a career in another industry, then the idea of internship may look odd, but LinkedIn contacts could be more promising venue. Unless, that is, the industry doesn't use LinkedIn that much.

Or if the author is from outside of America. Then advice like "join an association and attend meetings" could be harder to follow. Regarding advice "networking is also a possible venue" - for some this could sound both as too long/boring and to vague of advice. Advice "hire a professional" requires finding one, paying him - which may be problematic for some - and those also look like taking time longer than one weekend or even one month.

I don't know, may be some recommendations will be spot on and successfully used. May be the question need to be phrased more specifically.
"We have the choice of C++14, Rust and Go for well supported robust languages with different focuses."

Don't forget Swift. I think it outshines all of the above (and there is active discussion of adopting ownership concepts similar to Rust's).

Swift is already highly optimized. I found this article to be very interesting:

https://www.cocoawithlove.com/blog/2016/05/19/random-numbers...

TL;DR: 'Both the C and Swift are now the same. I don’t just mean “they take the same time”, I mean they are compiled to literally the same instructions.'

Initially the Swift Mersenne Twister code was faster, but he was able to apply an optimization to the C code that made it identical.

Except that C++ is like 4 totally different languages over the years.

So, which one should I write in? And this company hates exceptions while that company doesn't allow dynamic allocations so I've got different dialects even IF you can get everybody to agree on which dialect of C++ you should write in.

And, why should I learn C++14 when C++17/18/19 will be another different language?

No, I'd rather put in the effort to make Rust usable. The C++ ship has sailed.
JavaScript does not need any more attention drawn to it. Regardless of its merits as a language and how much developer time it has swallowed, it remains the only language in the browser and therefore is forced into the hands of most developers.

Saying JavaScript needs more attention is like saying the level of nitrogen in the Earth's atmosphere needs more attention paid to it.

> operator delete is required whenever we give a base class a virtual destructor—as is standard practice—even if we never heap-allocate an object of that class.

I'm not sure why you would need a virtual destructor if you don't heap allocate a class and are not going to call delete, as it will not be polymorfically deleted anyway, so you can do with a non-virtual destructor.
Even more so given that the people involved in Gamergate are young people forming political views that they'll hold for a long time.

When a young person develops a view that "the media lie constantly and see you as an enemy if you disagree about any tiny thing", that can bed in and last a long time through someone's life. Once trust is gone like that, how can the media redeem itself with someone?

I think this is going to have very long-reaching consequences, decades into the future. There is a growing, persistent constituency of young people who are richly informed by alternative information sources (youtube, online communities, personal experience) whose first exposure to mainstream media is to learn that they're self-indulgent, lying, moralizing bullies.

This is still going on today. See the recent saga with PewDiePie being slagged as a neo-nazi. His response video has 12M views, a lot of those are 13-16 year olds learning to never trust the media, especially when they call people racist.

It's like when you yourself are involved in something and see it grossly, maliciously misrepresented in media. You lose trust in media that way. Gamergate was basically that happening with thousands of people, because all of them had personal experience with gaming and knew how it actually works.
I'll second that HR comment. Honestly, I'd be considering expunging the entire team at this point. Assuming the allegations are correct, they violated the law directly in some cases and where they didn't, they ensured that ethical lapses went unpunished, reporters of ethical lapses were punished/threatened and that this was basically effective policy of the organization.

Staff within the company will never be comfortable with reporting incidents to that team unless all of management, anyone directly involved in these allegations and (probably) most of the HR staff is replaced. Hiring a good, well known, HR manager to rebuild the organization would be the next, good, step.

Policies and codes of conduct are like laws. If they're unenforced, they don't exist.

So it's a bit more nuanced than that. You can get an I-changed-my-mind full refund in the first 14 days but only if you bought the item online. You can also get a full refund in the first 30 days if the item is defective whether you bought it online or in a brick and mortar store. You can also get a full refund in the first 6 months if it is defective and cannot be repaired or replaced. After six months, you can only get a partial refund and only if the item is defective. IMHO that's still pretty good.

The rules vary a bit between England and Scotland and I am too tired to look up Wales and Northern Ireland right now.

Pao had no business running reddit, everyone could tell early on.

She didn't understand reddit and made very hasty unpopular decisions, well intentioned as they were, reddit was not used to censorship at the time and the execution was terrible. She also didn't understand how to use reddit, I remember her trying to post messages from her own inbox.

There were a couple of other factors that contributed. They weren't very nice to her that's for sure but I wouldn't call it sexism.

Take a look at JinjaSQL - https://github.com/hashedin/jinjasql. Beyond a certain complexity, Django ORM gets in the way. Constructing SQL by hand is painful and can lead to SQL injection. And that's where JinjaSQL shines.

You write your query as a string template, and then jinjasql interpolates the variables and provides the bind parameters. Makes it easy to maintain complex queries.

I grew up in the countryside of Vietnam during the first 10 years of my life. My neighbor was making rice wine at that time and man, did they know how to make ruou nep (fermented rice that is a byproduct of the rice wine-making process). It is somewhat alcoholic (5% or less) blended with a very sweet taste (sugar is the byproduct of fermenting process), with the remnants of rice that one can chew on. I think the dish could actually be made popular in the States because it doesn't have a weird smell which a lot of the fermented stuff does.

Wondering why hasn't anyone capitalize on that yet.
A sort of AWS style platform for retail. Eg. Are you building a POS or Inventory app or do you want to sell your online goods offline? You can access our merchants and authenticated users that already have a prepaid wallet and are at a retail location predisposed to buying. And because of our connectivity, you don't have to worry if your users have internet.

Or maybe an IOT platform of sorts, for example, you're an FMCG and you want to know that your shipments really did arrive at the location your distributor was supposed to deliver it.

India's a challenging country where > 80% of our retail is fragmented into millions of micro-stores.

I don't believe that the fundamental issue can be fixed. Ironically "Touch Bar" is something you can't feel when you touch it. Real physical buttons guide your finger to the correct location if you miss them slightly. "Touch" buttons don't.

To fix that, one would need to rework the whole OS and applications in such way that they don't use F-keys at all, but rather something else.

So, fixing Touch Bar means rethinking OS and application shortcuts.

I don't think average users really use F-buttons that much, but we developers generally do.
I don't believe that is just nostalgia. I think the Commodore was the greatest home computer ever made.[0]

If Uber is hiring drivers with criminal records, and nonetheless has fewer incidents per number of rides than traditional taxis, GREAT! People who have committed crimes and served their time need a way to make a living, and obviously the risk to passengers is not substantial as we accept more from taxis.

On the other hand, if ... and has substantially more incidents than traditional taxis, this is an important criticism! But you're not actually making the comparison that matters (and neither has any media that I've seen), so we don't know.
It really whips the llama's ass.
And complete lack of upgrewdability.
That's not banning Uber from operating. Uber and Lfyt pulled out because they didn't agree with fingerprint check, so they decided to pressure the Austin government by halting the operation there. But I say yes this does give other local/native taxi apps a chance since they can now compete without Uber and Lyft, to be fair in this debate.

I agree with Comodo; paying off victims does not solve the problem. Clearly what needs to happen is for Uber to discipline/fire the offender or offenders. Establishing that they will follow through on complaints would (ideally) dissuade people from doing things like this in the first place, as well as assuring other victims that if they come forward, something will actually be done about the issue.
The problem with in-the-browser encryption is that it is fundamentally insecure until websites can be made immutable. You're executing remote, mutable code to handle your secret data. Which means at any point the website operator could replace it with something that exfiltrates the data the moment you access it.

Even if the operator is not malicious they could receive a court order or the connection loading the code could be MITMed even if you think you're secure[0].

If the system can work with Victor knowing anything else about Peggy, e.g., entirely taking the question "who are you" out of the equation, well, then, we've got an interesting situation.
