Marcia Clark, best known as the lead prosecutor in the O.J. Simpson trial, has become a trailblazer for women in law and beyond. Her journey from courtroom to bestselling author reflects her resilience and determination to redefine herself amidst intense public scrutiny. On this episode of Worth Knowing, Clark dives into her latest book, *Trial by Ambush*, which examines the 1953 Barbara Graham case—a story that highlights gender bias, media sensationalism, and the notion that all cases are subject to societal, cultural, and political winds. Clark shares how her experiences during the Simpson trial shaped her perspective on societal pressures and the role of women in high-stakes professions. Her reflections on how media, forensic science, and legal practices have evolved over decades offer valuable insights into the intersection of law and culture. This conversation is a compelling exploration of true crime, personal growth, and how Clark’s groundbreaking career continues to inspire a new generation of women to challenge norms and forge their own paths. Marcia Clark is a bestselling author and a criminal lawyer who began her career in law as a criminal defense attorney and went on to become a prosecutor in the L.A. District Attorney's Office in 1981. She spent ten years in the Special Trials Unit, where she handled a number of high-profile cases, including the prosecution of stalker/murderer Robert Bardo, whose conviction for the murder of actress Rebecca Schaeffer resulted in legislation that offered victims better protection from stalkers as well as increased punishment for the offenders. She was lead prosecutor for the O.J. Simpson murder trial. In May of 1997 her book on the Simpson case, "Without a Doubt," was published and reached #1 on the New York Times, Wall St. Journal, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, and Publishers Weekly bestsellers lists. In February 2016, Clark re-released the book with a new foreword.

The different ways you can join your code together, with Calvin Fong 1:05:41

40 weeks ago1:05:41

1:05:41

Developers often say to "design your code like LEGO". Typically, they're suggesting you separate your code into small modules with single responsibilities. However, a frequently overlooked detail is that LEGO bricks have little studs that allow you to join them together without everything falling apart. This seems like an important detail not to overlook, because I really like when my code doesn't fall apart.…

Down the Oregon Trail with Functional C#, with Simon J. Painter 1:24:52

1 year ago1:24:52

1:24:52

In 1971, three students from Minnesota thought they could liven up a history lecture by creating a computer game for the students to play, and after several days of work in HP Time Share BASIC, they came up with what turned out to be a significant milestone in the history of computer games - Oregon Trail. Oregon Trail is often regarded as one of the first great computer games, as well as being the originator of a franchise that is still running to this day. It was effectively also one of the first instances of both Shareware and a Commercial home release (depending on the version). My interest though, isn't just in historical computer games, it's also .NET and Functional Programming. I want to use this as a worked example of one of my passions - Functional Programming in C#! The challenge I've set myself is to redevelop Oregon Trail into C# using the following restrictions: Near 100% unit test coverage No variables can change state once set No statements (for, foreach, if, where, etc.) unless there literally is no way of avoiding them I'll also be demonstrating a few of the tricks Functional Programming can offer, like Higher-order functions, functional flows with simple Monads and Tail Recursion. There should also be a bit of retro computing fun, while we're at it. Links: Functional Programming with C# (O'Reilly Media) Simon on LinkedIn Simon on Twitter Simon's website…

Managing granular authorisation in .NET, with Ryan Rowston 1:04:36

1:04:36

We have a challenge: Modern day administrators want to keep a tight rein on who can perform different actions in their systems. Join us and learn how we've evolved our authorisation patterns to grant highly granular permissions to different users, while maintaining developer-friendly patterns in code. In this talk I'll explain how we've approached this challenge, including: How we've encoded discreet permission levels as bits in a 64-bit integer using a .NET flags enum. How we've used an extended Authorize attribute to allow for developer to add authorisation in one line to API controllers/endpoints. How we've enabled dynamic policy generation to account for the potentially quintillions of unique permission combinations that this enables. Links: Ryan on LinkedIn…
