You can probably replace communism by capitalism in most sentence of your post. Regarding the incentive to inflate numbers, think about quarter report, or of things like Enron, Volkswagen or Autonomy (which was sold as an inflated price). T

I also believe this is primarily a communication issue. It is bound to happen a few times when working in an unknown codebase, but if you feel this is systematic, before writing a single line of code, just discuss with the code reviewer wha

Maybe my perspective is biased because I work in a very conservative industry, but a large part of C++ jobs in the next 5 years will likely be about maintenance/evolution of massive legacy C++98/C++03 applications. And you won&#x2

GP does not mention the impact on its salary. Usually if you work 80% of your previous time, you are also payed 80% of the previous salary.

This is only tangentially related, but the same pattern applies to government looking at how various policies are implemented in other country. Most often it is used as a shining example of success, but I seriously doubt you can import a po

That's a good point. But since you are going to implement X or Y, it is a good idea to take that opportunity for yourself to learn about X and Y. So maybe investigate a bit about X and Y, and if you have some questions, or some blockin

A good leader is not someone that say "use this because I say so", but someone that convinces you that is the best solution. They should at the very least give some rationale to all their decisions/advices. With a design deci

From what I have seen, the issue is that in big risk-adverse entreprise, the mentality of "don't change anything if it works" goes a bit too far. I feel a bit ashamed, but to give you some rough idea of the age of the toolcha

There are about 1 billion vehicles in the world, we are producing roughly 50 millions a year. I am skeptical than, in as soon as 15 years, self driving fleet will have that a massive impact. In some area of the world, like SF and some majo

The oil consumption has been steadily increasing for years. For transportation, there is no alternative. Even if Tesla is making headline every day, this is really a marginal contribution that is really meaningless (at least now) in the gra

To be fair most founding myths are about a "hero" revolting against the current status quo : Zeus, Odin, Prometheus, Gilgamesh, etc. So I don't think this is only an "American" things, or related to individualism. B

I agree about the universality of C++. I also agree you have to compare C++ + code analysis versus Rust regarding safety. However, my team is spending over 100k$ a year to get access to these tools. In the grand scheme of things, compared t

I have a small question : I have installed 1.4 through rustup.sh. What is the clean way to upgrade to 1.5 ? I don't think there is some kind of 'rustup.sh upgrade' Delete 1.4 & reinstall ? Or downloading rustup 1.5 will a

I agree. I tend to genocide Lich and mind-flayers so there is nothing too bad left if you have enough HP, AC and blessed potion of full healing. But the riders can be scary if you don't know how to deal with them.

Never played it but from what I read, there is a more open world with different region and dungeon. Apparently there are also different endgame. I have the feeling it feels more like a traditional rpg than a dungeon exploration.

If you want to play without external help like a guide or a spoiler, it is almost impossible to get anywhere because the game only gives you little hint of what is happening at a given time. Using "spoiler file" or wiki, will give
