Taking advice and turning it into "mansplaining" (did she just assume his gender?) is the mark of a misandryc bigot. If a male told a woman he didn't need to listen to her because "she's only a woman" would have a mob at his front door after being Doxxed
And now she apparently has the same, so I'm not really sure what you're arguing except that people like overreacting.
But here's the problem at the company level. #metoo has men being very careful about any and all interactions with women in the workplace.
Well I ain't seen that and I've not modified my behaviour. Maybe if you felt you had to then your behaviour was problematic in the first place.
Given her proven record of trying to turn everything into a sex issue,
Saying "a sex issue" is a mighty strange way pf phrasing it. And apparently she was well know for it and the company knew and it came up in the interview:
I warned people in my interview that I was loud about these issues on social media and had no intention of shutting up, she told Kotaku of when she first got hired at ArenaNet. They reassured me that they admired [my] willingness to speak truth to power.
I love whe npeople start making claims about their sex life on slashdot!
Boy an I glad having found a sweetheart that has her own workshop, builds walls and takes down trees in her spare time, dresses like a supermodel (when we go dancing) and fucks like a p0rnstar.
Well gee, it couldn't be that perhaps people use materials apprporiate for the expected conditions, rather than spending vast amounts on a road that can deal with Arizona's summer highs, plus snow, plus large amounts of rain.
Naw I'm sure everyone is simply stupid and chooses the wrong stuff.
If you are incredibly rude to someone (being condescending with or without swearing is rude) then you're a massive snowflake if you get offended when thye tell you to fuck right off.
The guy (Deroir I think is his name) replied to this with a suggestion so insultingly simple it deserved scorn. He was polite, but it was a REALLY condescending response.
I don't really get when polite got entirely equated with simply not swearing or making overy threats. Being incredibly condescending (without swearing) is not in any way polite.
Some people must be truly frightened of the world and the people in it.
Or someone's just got bored of being deluged by asshats. But sure, go convince yourself that you're striking fear into the hearts of people you don't know rather than simply irritating them.
Next you'll be complaining about muh freeze peach over getting blocked.
Wait a mo! Where are all the loud freeze-peach advocates who crap over any Damore related thread. They seem to be awfully quiet here! I guess they're not really inerested in free speech, then, only in propagating right-think.
I remember feeling in jr. high how happy I was that I was a big boy who didn't get recess any more like the little kids.
Allow me to point you to the bit of my (very) short post you never even got to:
When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up
Clearly you have not got over your fear of looking childish. It's good and proper for children to want to grow up. But you're not a kid any more, I assume.
Unless you're working solo on a tiny codebase, or one that is only a few years old, you can't use that "trick".
That's because it's a dumbass trick. The "trick" is to know what to use when, i.e. the trick is to have good taste. But that's the universal trick for all languages for not writing crap code.
So, you have to learn all of c++, which is a huge deterrent to new people picking up the language.
If you want to be able to do everything then you need to learn everything. Not very surprising, really.
A half way decent codebase won't have every feature occur in every source file, leaving plenty of room for junior devs. Frankly if it does you should polish your resume ASAP).
C++ is kind of like the sword of programming. It occupies an important place in history that should be remembered, and in the right hands, it's still fearsome. But gimme a break - in modern times, there are just better options, in every arena of computing.
Like what? Just about everything you did to type that inane comment touched C++ multiple times and in important ways.
Yet it's mysteriously the language used for implementing an awful lot of the world's infrastructure.
The entertaining thing is even those who tout C are now reliant on C++ because it turns out that the problem of writing a quality optimising compiler is basically too hard to do in C and so all of the major compilers are now written in C++.
That's because real engineers understand about compromise. Stroustrup could have made the cleanest most beautifully designed language and like everyone else who has done the same no one would have used it.
It's not a question of "not bothering"---that's just outright arrogance on your part---it's that breaking everyone's code regularly in pursuit of perfection will more or less guarantee at best a fragmented language and at worse an unused one.
The problem with Rust is that it was designed by people who actually used C++.
If they hand't it would have ended up like "go" with whiny blog posts by the creator complaining about how it's just too awesome for C++ programmers. He seemed genuinely surprised that C++ programers didn't flock to it despite the fact he freely admitted he didn't know much about C++.
Using C++ willingly is a sign ... is a sign that someone has shit to do.
Yeah, Bjarne is right, but there is no agreement at all abOut which features should be used and not.
That's because anyone who has blanket rules about "don't use X" is, frankly, silly.
The point is to use the features where appropriate. Some features very rarely used because there are rarely appropriate times, but when those times happens, there's no substitute.
This is just like any tooling. I've seen ignorant and enthusiastic people try to do very stupid things on power tools because the power tools were there. I wouldn't propose either banning either circular saws or hobbling them so they can always be used safely where one might use tennon saw instead.
Not only that, but there are also some rarely used, expert only tools kicking aronud any good workshop. For some reason this ispires people to neither use them for absolutely everything nor get rid of them.

Not that I like superhero comics, but at least it's not some sort of self denial because I feel I should't like them because I'm too old.
NO FFS No. You know ewhat happens when people succeed wiht the premise that we shouldn't fix X because Y is more important? You eng up with neither fixed.
Slashdot Mirror
Yep, going off on some dude asking inane questions is TOTALLY the same as advocating genocide.
How do you know that was why she was harassed?
At least you're not flat out denying the harassment this time!
She wasn't harassed! She did it to herself and anyway she deserved it!

Yep that's save you from having to learn the things you just can't do in whatever language you just choose.

No it was not right, it was hateful by her.
Christ what a snowflake.

Truth is, we know more about PLs today than we did back then, hence Kotlin, Go and Rust.
I think for go that's a bit of a stretch. It pretty much feels like a throwback to the 70s.
C++ sounds like it provides too many tools, and so it's inevitably going to breed bad code as people are more likely to missus them.
It's lines like that that sometimes really highlight the gulf between programmers and engineers.
"We should get rid of the surface grinder because having it available will only encourage people to misuse it" said no engineer ever.
And yes, there is a smaller and more elegant language inside C++ screaming to get out. It's called "C".
Yes elegant languages are full of resource leaks.
So elegant.

Mozilla has taken the best parts of C++
It's still missing genericisation over integers last time I checked. That's one of the best parts of C++.

But by the time I was 12, I left all that behind.
You have my sympathy then.
