The traditional gender roles that formed alongside our evolution are broken today: men still crave women's affection, but women no longer need men to provide them. Because of this we were able to abolish traditional marriage, which was the only thing that kept the society sane. Yes, women were oppressed, but not without reason: women are hypergamous by nature.
There's a non-negligible population of fully grown virgin men with very little chance of marriage or reproduction. Can you give them a reason to work and be productive? Can you give them a reason to live? Mark my words, we'll hear more and more about lonely men going on shooting sprees or committing suicide (if anyone cares enough to report them).
The solution is actually quite simple. Being able to choose your child's sex. If women have happier and easier lives, parents will prefer having daughters which will in turn increase the female population and decrease their value, bringing the value of sexes to an equilibrium.
And on the other end of the spectrum we had Jobs era Apple, with One True God overseeing all demigods who oversee projects. IMO the things that made Apple products so successful was this structure which left no room for confusion and that the company was run by QA people. My impression of Jobs is that he was a QA guy himself.
If LV2 plugins are anything like VSTs, you'll need to load the plugin in your audio application and route your MIDI input through that plugin. In most DAWs this is done by creating a track then assigning MIDI input and the VSTi to the track.
Am I the only person who finds GNU parallel way too complicated? I tried to perform a very easy parallel task with it and spent hours reading the documentation and various tutorials. If a person with Unix command-line skills can't easily pick it up, what's the point of having it?
I have always found the "Flash is horrible, kill Flash" circlejerk very unproductive. Flash was the best solution we had to media in the web ecosystem, and if we still had it, it would still be the best solution by far!
From what I've seen it's been getting much better. Linux has very powerful tools for media creation/editing now: Blender, Krita, Darktable, Natron are some quality apps that I'm aware of.
First there was NaCl which was a subset of x86 code leveraging x86 features to sandbox the execution. This x86 subset was produced by a special toolchain and could be verified before running.
Then PNaCl came along with a platform-independent bitcode format based on LLVM IR, which was translated to host's native code in the browser.
Then WASM (also platform-independent) came along striving to be a multi-vendor solution. Unlike the other two WASM directly targets the JavaScript engine. It started out as a serialization format for JavaScript AST.
If VR technology doesn't advance fast enough to solve its current issues (nausea, lack of DoF and gravitation) in the near future, we will likely enter a period of stagnation like the AI Winter.
You don't even have to give feedback in an interview. Just let them answer your question and if it's too detailed, write it down and look it up later. In fact, Google usually doesn't give back any feedback during or after their onsite interviews.
