Software development is never profitable?

I would hope that the person hired to address discrimination would assume the report of coninued discrimination is correct.

They should assume it’s true for the purpose of more investigation. Then decide if the facts support or disprove the claim. That’s much different than hearing it from one person, and then concluding that it’s true.

Did you read the rest of the article? It talks about how she talked with others in the company about this, someone above her took it very personally as suggesting he was racist, and her prompt firing. It also highlights how bungie was exposed for both racial and gender bias by reporting just a few months before she was hired, indicating that these exposed problems likely still existed.

Yes. Her superiors disagreed that the supervisor needed diversity training just because that one person who received a bad review said he was being racially targeted. The article doesn’t say that she made any attempt to talk to that Black employee’s immediately coworkers. She just talked to him and decided the supervisor needed diversity training. So it’s not surprising that her supervisors reacted critically.

I don’t mean any harm when I say this, but why would you jump to the defense of a company in the first place, dismissing claims of racism or other forms of bigotry? The world is incredibly biased, and regular large-scale studies on company culture (and social culture) reveal widespread bigotry in our world. Simply assuming the status quo absent enough evidence on either side to clearly paint a picture is more often than not correct. What purpose does trying to discredit her accomplish here? How do you think it makes black people feel to see the only reply in a thread is an attempt at discrediting her?

I’m not siding with the company. I’m siding with the employee who was treated like a racist because one person who may have been underperforming said he was without any further investigation. That’s ridiculous.

Just a few months into her employment, she says she was instructed to investigate the performance of a particular employee, referred to as “James Smith.” But when she sat down to speak with Smith, he allegedly pointed out that he was the only Black employee on a team of 50 individuals, and expressed that he felt he was being singled out and racially targeted by his supervisor.

Alm goes on to say that she shared this information with her supervisor and recommended that Smith’s supervisor receive diversity training, but alleges that her recommendation was met with “hostility and denial.”

So she just took the allegedly under performing employees word and recommended diversity training without any further investigation? I hope the article is leaving something out.

Did he follow that up by saying “oops”?

I can understand thinking Riven (Myst 2) was made to force people to buy a guide or call a hotline. It had some extremely challenging puzzles. It was bearable without a guide, but you had to really pay attention to everything. but Myst 1 didn’t have anything insane.

Gaming and tech “journalism” would benefit so much from reducing the snark over their currently obnoxious levels.

There’s more than that now on the App Store in addition to wefwef pwa.

Doesn’t steam do game streaming from your own computer? It definitely used to around 10 years ago when I used to do it.

And definitely use WSL2.

So not much would change relative to explaining people your job in present times?

We might need it when the GOP finish destroying education across the country.

The ads are annoying, but Pocket is a good app.

I really hoped we’d leave this cynical garbage on Reddit. The top comments in this post are mostly listing hidden gems.

Nothing will be as good as Diablo 2, but I’m liking playing Diablo 4 as a chain lightning sorcerer far more than Diablo 3 in any way. The skill tree allows for much more creativity than 3. They’re a bunch of different, interesting builds. The basic mana-free skills are useful. The dropped resources give you something to do while waiting for mana to refill. There are items that incentivize alternating between core and basic skills.

Overall, I think it feels a lot more similar to Diablo 2 then Diablo 4.

Seems less isometric and more top-down

Isn’t isometric another way of saying “top-down”?
