Unfortunate title; noncommissioned officers are sadly few and far between at tech companies.

Any suggestions for open engines with some similarity to the tools provided in Unity3d, Lumberyard/Crytek, or Unreal4?

Strange position; you don't think the user already knew they were required to press the correct button? Your solution seems pretty passive aggressive.

Be kinda like putting up a 'your code must compile' signs in a software dev office. Unhelpfully obvious.

> How come everyone wants to blame the system.

Because if the system isn't fixed, it's just going to happen again. Surely you're not arguing that the system is without flaw?

It's not so much about changing the IP address, but moving the targeted system out from behind the clogged tube. Changing IP address may or may not do that.

For many, many DDoS scenarios this does not work. The spurious packets may saturate an upstream ISP, causing that ISP to unilaterally apply a null route or block for all packets for the targeted origin IP. No CloudFlare packets would arrive at all.

If one is concerned about DDoS, one should work with their ISPs on the plan of action for various scenarios. Finding out their procedures when ones' hair is on fire is not fun.

You're staking out some pretty tough ground, there. Human error can be unconscious or reflexive, and that type of UI element is sometimes barely a speedbump, cognitively.

Occasionally I reflexively click-through a confirmation dialogue box and regret it. I feel like I've been trained by the software industry for decades to bludgeon my way through these confirmations, many of which are unnecessary to begin with. I basically have muscle memory for it, the skids are greased for clicking-through. I know I'm not the only one.

So, I could see myself making this type of slip. It's really hard to know the balance between human and system error for this incident, but to me it looks like the system naively assumes a perfect human. Even if the incident turns out to have been an intentionally malicious act, the problem with the system would still remain.

YouTube is just distribution. It's like crediting heavy trucks for winning WW2, or crediting YCombinator News's CDN for writing this witty and insightful message.

I think you're right about that.

And their families are victims, also.

You've got some good points, but your 'victimless' assertion is highly questionable.
